I agree with almost everything he said & it made sense but its not something I wasn't already aware of..... I just had a problem following the logic of the Immigration line of reasoning. He seemed to be implying that the jobs would move south but if the job is picking oranges in Cali its not like you can move the grove to mexico..........

coo shit, thats what i've been sayin for hella years lol.
but i get accused of "white guilt"
lol, its not fuckin white guilt, its called elitism and fucked up classism.


but yeah um, about the border thing, i think he is specifically talking about factory jobs and cheap labor like that, of course farming that requires california soil will stay here w/ cheap labor, but, factories are movin over the border faster than any coyote with a van.

I think he was making a larger indictment of Capitalism... Stopping the flow of illegals won't lead to higher wages... Baron's of industry aren't gonna raise our salaries just because the borders are closed...
