America's Dirty Little Secret
America has a dirty little secret --and its doing your dishes, cleaning your houses, landscaping your yards, and everything else Americans are too lazy to do. Yep, that's right, I am talking about immigrants, mostly Hispanic and many illegal. I just got back from marching with them from S5th Street all the way to Veterans Park. These folks are not "illegal" in any sense, except what Congress dictates...so maybe it is time for this problem to be tackled. I fully realize it is a no-win situation for most politicians, but maybe decency will win out. The main problem is that most of them cannot vote, so therefore they have no voice in the politics of the country they work so hard for. What is true however, is that most people (and politicians) will agree that something must be done to help end the exploitation and abuse that occurs all to often.
