We’re Running Them Out of Mexico

In Texas, you hear people bitching about immigration all of the time. Granted, it does put a strain on our social services, but people would rather blame the people coming over trying to have a better life before looking at our own policies. I read this article, Why Mexico’s Small Corn Farmers Go Hungry, in 2003, but it couldn’t be more true today. In fact, it is MORE true. It is obvious that the whole thing is a set-up. No one cares about the Mexicans immigrants or the people who live in overburdened towns or who have to compete for jobs and wages. The big boys are fattening up their pockets, as usual. Now they’re looking at putting that TransTexas (it will really end up going from Mexico to Canada) through my town. Grrr. If this actually benefited people who needed benefiting, it would be one thing, you know? As it is, it may take out a house that one of my neighbors spent 17 years building himself.
I’m in a grouchy mood.
