Are you being paid for that comment? That was incredible. It is not a "caste sytem." Are you trying to make American workers feel guilty for wanting to keep their jobs and way of life? Is it our fault that we were born here? Should we all feel so bad that we just give them all our work and cash? Shame on companies who take advantage of NAFTA and are making huge profits off those workers! Why would any of us want to help them become better at their jobs if those jobs are coming from the US? Would they like to see their work outsourced to a cheaper country? This is ridiculous. I have no "compassion" for them. It is much cheaper to live in their country and that is their home. If they don't like it there they should apply to come here or somewhere else legally. My huge tax bill is helping them already, whether I like it or not, and I work harder every day so that the US can give them "loans" that are never paid back and whatever else we are handing out in our country's current struggle for "popularity." Charity is okay and I contribute, but this is heading in a really ugly direction. I guess we can all thank Bill Clinton for his signature on that NAFTA agreement. I hope he can sleep at night. Because of all the outsourcing and other factors most of us will never be able to afford retirement. If we just sit here and be "nice" and "share" and ignore the subtle niggling feeling that we are being used up and will be spat out at their earliest convenience then maybe we deserve what is coming.
