[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 525380, member: 11425"] wkmac, I will be the first to agree that our values should not just be applied to ourselves but to all of mankind. To quote myself from another thread: But I do believe in the concept of nationhood. And if a nation cannot control it's borders, is it really a nation? And while I do sympathize with the average Mexican (like Lou Dobbs says, they are the only rational actors in this, all they want is a better life for themselves), should present day Americans have to pay for the sins of our ancestors? And the sins of the Spanish, Catholicism, or of the sins of the Mexican's native American ancestors, such as the Aztecs? I say no. I say no to having our wages lowered. I say no to paying higher taxes for bilingual education. I say no to subsidizing their healthcare through their use of the emergency room as a doctors office. The list could go on. Americans need to learn to cut their own damn lawns again and clean their own houses again. And they need to learn people deserve a living wage for what they do. We really cannot let go of exploiting people can we? Even if the people we are exploiting do not see it as such, we should know better. If strawberries need to cost more, then so be it! [/QUOTE]
