I think that it is time for you followers to the right to really look hard
at what the united states is pushing for. This whole notion of security and
wars on terrorism are MASKS for the real agenda, globalization. As more and
more multinationals are subsidized by the rich and powerful nations
belonging to the G8, the business and industry located on a much smaller and
domestic level within poorer nations are experiencing increased competition
thanks to the removal of trade regulations, mass production and of course
government subsidized multinationals. These factors kill the livelihoods of
local farmers, tradesmen, etc. In the cases where the local governments try
to fight back, the multinationals can take the country to the world trade
organization and have the country sanctioned for protectionistic trade
practises. This leaves the workers in a horrible position where they cannot
possibly compete with the multinationals so they are forced to work for
them. In many, if not most cases, they are exploited, paid very little, are
forced to work long labourous hours. In many cases, corporal punishment has
been reported. Trade laws now permit for multinationals to sue governments
for having public works and they demand under threat of penalty for the
privatization of public works systems such as water and electricity. This
leads to increased cost for already poor people and access to water becomes
EXTREMELY limited. Now we wonder why there is so much crime and unrest in
poor nations.
So getting to my point. You have people, in poor nations, that are full of
violence, dictators (who in many case were put into power thanks to the US
government), lack of water, food and shelter, lack of work and
exploitation - what do you? the right wing suggest to them? Stage a military
coup so that the Americans can sit back and pretend like they aren't all
being slaughtered by the rich elite's stormtroopers and then sanction them
for removing their oppressive American puppet government? No. They go to the
place that propaganda has instilled into them that they will be safe, and
free to persue a life of their choice. They go to the USA. But instead of
welcoming them as members of society, they are alienated, descriminated,
called ILLEGAL. But what do you expect from a nation that instead of
building homes for people that die on the streets and instead of giving food
to dying children, they give billions of dollars for corporations to tear
down wilderness and build factories so that we can consume even more garbage
that we do not need. Yet any immigrant with money is welcomed with open
arms, especially if they own a large corporation. The only reason why we
have borders and immigration laws is so that we can make sure that there are
enough people left over to exploit. I promise you that no immigrant is
getting faster health care than anyone with more money. And who the hell are
you to decide who deserves health care and who deserves to die. Screw your
money=life comes first.
