Reply #143: I never said I was a bookkeeper [View All]

[Tansy_Gold]

I said I had processed payrolls, which is the truth. But processing payrolls is not the same as being a bookkeeper.

But I've also done a whole helluva lot of other things, including the same work "illegals" (and legals) do.

Of course, I'm sure you don't think there are never "illegal" white folks who do "white" collar jobs. I'm sure you don't think that the job market for white collar jobs is so open everywhere that someone with a graduate degree would never be "reduced" to seeking -- and accepting -- manual labor.

And maybe that's the problem. Maybe there are many "working class" folks who feel they're unjustly kicked out of a job they're entitled to by virtue of having somehow retroactively earned the right to be born in America and so they just sit back and sulk, like spoiled children deprived of a toy. Maybe they oughta get off their asses and go out there and work right beside the immigrants, legal and otherwise, for the same lousy pay, and make common cause with them.

Otherwise, the bosses have won. They've turned worker against worker and ground us all into the dirt.

Meanwhile, many of the same working class folks who bitch about all the illegals are ever so happy to defend their daily entertainment of shopping at Wal-Mart and buying more and more and more shit made in China and Mexico and Bangladesh, then coming home to complain that there are no jobs in America.
