from the mind of critic-4/5/17

From the mind of critic: “If we’re against illegal immigration but love cheap labor, are we tring not only to possess the cake, but devour it as well? If we believe people are pouring over the border to take our jobs, are we willing to work for the rate of pay they get? If we aren’t willing to work for that low rate of pay with no benefits, if we don’t want products to be expensive but aren’t willing to ask why, if we want to state an opinion that’s not based anywhere in fact, do we understand the consequential endgame that protrudes out our mouthhole? Do we treat each other as less human, so we can be treated as more human? Or do we simply not have one critically thinking bone in our body? When we talk out of both sides of our mouth, we’re still talking, but we’re not thinking. We can’t have cheap food without cheap labor. We can’t have cheap labor without illegal immigrants. We can’t have illegal immigrants if we weren’t always wanting more, and other people weren’t either. People come here to try making a better life, we should be making that easier by shortening the citizenship process. People will try to do us harm that’s true, but they come from every country around the world, not just the brown one to our south. If we love cheap labor but hate the illegal immigrants who provide that cheap labor, do we understand the magnitude of hypocrisy we’re projecting? If we don’t, maybe we should start treating ourselves like we treat others and see how far we get ahead” 🙂
