My father held a full time job and raised all ten of us AND he kept a full vegetable and flower gardens his whole life. Two of my sisters have large gardens, and one feeds 150 people. We came to this region of the world and shared best farming practices with our Native Americans in the 1800's. I am so disturbed by what the kind priests are saying as it makes us weak people who helped build this country and our great values. Additionally, I've worked a lot with our Mexican friends, and they never hold back to tell us what we owe them... Our kind priest makes a difficult situation for his parishiners as I for one will not go to church so long as they keep unfairly stating the untruth of such matters of illegal immigration, he needs to become a political, not a priest. I don't wish to give my heart and soul to this type of unfair propaganda which does not protect the residents and parishioners of any church. Perhaps he can give a lecture on honest work!
Henry, I agree wholeheartedly. I can’t tell you how many folks I’ve discussed this issue with who believe the priest’s “false narrative.” Please give me a call when you can; I have suggestions…
Well said, Mr. Shulte. From 1942 to 1964, we had what was known as the Bracero Program. It was a government-sponsored agreement allowing workers to temporarily work in the United States. If repaired and improved, and brought up to modern, humane standards, perhaps we could get this program up and running again. We have become the default relocation destination for the world's failing regimes. Ideally, countries should not export their problems. They should fix them. It wasn't so long ago when many gardeners were white. I'm not sure when we decided we couldn't do that kind of work.
I remember it. I can’t recall the it was abandoned but the concept was a good one. That’s the kind of control we should have. And then the workers feel safe and have some management over the utter chaos we have now.
Enjoyed reading your comments. The religious people have their interpretation of events and that's fine. Fortunately, they are not the majority. Religion views don't always match common sense views.
