Musings of a Dumb Ass

Musings of a Dumb Ass.... Pat Buchanan makes a compelling argument that we're losing the entire southwestern United States including California to the Mexicans. I believe he's right but I don't believe the answer is sealing our borders. I think the answer is much more complicated than that. Mexicans have entered this country for years and are finding work beyond the Mississippi River and are in sight of the Atlantic Ocean, and are employed. I think there are some simple questions we could ask ourselves. First off, how is it that so many jobs exist that there aren't enough Americans to fill them? We have very few factories still operating to work in. They all left, most of them going to Mexico. There's some food processing plants still in this country, and most of them have a predominate number of Mexicans working there. But what about all these other jobs that so many Americans work at? What are they? Where are they? What do they do? Where does the profit come from that must be for them to draw a paycheck? Just look around you. Check your neighbors out and try to figure out where their income is from. You'll find that outside of Wal-Mart and other marginal paying employers, most everyone is in the service business. Direct Government, which is a huge business, medical, which when you think of full circle considering Doctors, nurses, hospitals, pharmeceuticals, home health care, home health care suppliers, insurance providers, transportation providers for patients, therapists, nursing homes and so on that portion is simply too big to guess at. Those two categories are funded almost totally by tax dollars. No one wants to look at it like that, but it is so in spades. Then comes child care, public schools, universities, colleges and technical schools, all either funded directly or subsidized by tax dollars or doubletalked and deny taking tax money, but we know it is still dependant on the taxpayer in the end. Police , fire departments, emergency personel, all tax money, if not directly then filtered. So then, what does this have to do with the Mexicans illegal in our workforce? Simply put, we are so busy servicing each other we've created a false economy that is devoid of producing hard good in any form, turned that job over to foreign suppliers, and convinced ourselves we are unable to find workers to staff those chicken plants and beef and pork slaughterhouses so we relegate that portion of workforce over to whomever will do it, which is the Mexicans. They need a job, we don't. We just wait for the mail to run. That's all we have to do. One day in the not too distant future the service economy we have created will be unable to fund itself and then we can't pay the Mexicans. They'll all go home. Who will make our food for us?........................
