Lone Protester- Justice in South Carolina 12/04/07


Entry into the United States is not a God given right to every human being in the Hispanic world. Read that sentence again. And then when you are out and about tomorrow or the next day, open your eyes, and look around, wherever you are, be it Wal-mart, your neighborhood, construction site, work place or wherever. And I will bet you will see illegal aliens everywhere. But of course you are not allowed to question them on their illegality because if you do you will stand a chance of being arrested. Just like if you ask their employer why they are employing illegal aliens, you stand a chance of being arrested and going to jail also because you have violated some law that some idiot somewhere decided was illegal.

You say you do not believe me? Well, I speak the truth, because my closest friend here in Columbia, SC was fired from his job for that exact reason. He drove a city bus for 27 years, and once upon a time, before he had even clocked in for work one morning, he asked an employer why he employed illegal aliens when thousands of Americans were out of work, and got fired for his efforts. And this man, I will call him Doug, is very religious. He is like me, he does not like seeing what is happening to his country and state. He wanted to make a statement, just like I did, and got fired for his efforts. From a job he had worked at honorably for over a quarter of a century. He recently graduated from a long distance truck driving school that he had to pay 37 hundred dollars out of his own pocket for, and now he is trying to find a job and my prayers are with him. And my tears, because Doug is a good man, he does not lie, cheat or try to take claim for anything that is not his due.

And do you think that this is a travesty? Well, you haven’t heard anything yet. Have you, by any chance heard about my case? I was arrested on July 16th 2007. Why? Because I protested a construction job I had lost to illegal competition. And how do I know that illegals were working on that job site? Because the homeowner told me so, words straight out of his mouth .And I quote him here, “international roofers installed the shingles on my roof for 4 to 5 dollars an hour and if you (me) want to do the copper work then your (me) bid needs to be as low as theirs areâ€
