Besides dumping surplus crops in Mexico, below cost, driving farmers there off the land into poverty, as I discussed before, we also dump our jobs there. One of the lies about NAFTA is that it creates jobs. No, it MOVES jobs, from here to Mexico, it doesn’t create jobs. But don’t those jobs at least help Mexicans? The new factories there are little better than slave labor camps. The desperate Mexican can try to survive on starvation wages while dodging instructional beatings by factory goons, or he can uproot his life and slip across the border into a hostile and alien US.
These are refugees, and we whine that they’re illegal. They’re desperate to save their families from starving, and we’re outraged at them for taking the few jobs left here. We blame the victim of the sociopathic ideology of greed instead of going after the corporate-controlled governments that manipulate and squeeze humanity for the unnecessary profit of an elite.
Ship the refugee back and he’ll likely be as dead as if you’d put a bullet in his head. From some of the rhetoric, I’m surprised we haven’t adopted this “final solution” of just shooting the illegals. Twelve million illegals, twelve million bullets. Heck, if Hitler could kill six million Jews, then America the Greatest ought to be able to kill twelve million Mexicans.
You know this wouldn’t be allowed. Not because it would be murder, but because our corporate government NEEDS those desperate refugees to drive down wages, increasing profits for our masters.
Our government has spent huge amounts of our tax dollars to bring this about, and they’re not about to give up this well-greased profit-making machine if we just ask them to. Literally, no exaggeration, trillions of dollars are at stake here. Do you think they’ll give it all up if we elect reformist congress people? You know it’s going to take more than that. You know it and don’t want to admit it.
