The Senate vote on immigration failed.
by Barbara Simpson
The issue is dead.
Or is it?
No, it isn’t – and Americans better not be complacent about it.
The politicians will be back with another version, regardless of which party wins the next election. Locally, the same mentality prevails to circumvent law, logic and morals on the part of politicians, activist groups and churches, and the media are cheerleaders.
Example: Front page, Contra Costa Times in Northern California, July 11.
Complete with intentionally emotional pictures, it described a 1.3-square mile area on one street in Concord with 91 apartment complexes housing some 38,000 residents. More than 60 percent are in poverty, and many apartments house as many as 10 people, most sleeping on the floor.
The article was about redevelopment and possible rent increases.
Predictably, the article begins with a 24-year-old Mexican man returning from work to his two bedroom apartment (he pays $200 per month), which he shares with seven men and one woman.We’re told he’ll sleep, watch TV and “think about the day he goes back to his wife and 2-year-old daughter still living in Vera Cruz, Mexico.”
He came here “for solid work and a calm environment.”
He says if rents go up, he’ll have to move away from the construction jobs – “Or, he’ll have to stop sending money back home to his family.”
Is he a citizen? Is he here legally? Does he have a green card? Does he have a driver’s license? Does he speak English? Who knows?
Who cares?
