Thread: Teen killed & 10 year old child raped by illegals

I don't think that Americans are apathetic. IMO the problem is that both the liberal and conservative media outlets make sure that Americans are not given the opportunity to make the connection between illegal aliens and unemploymnet and/or stagnent wages. In order for the Lefties to give people the info they need, the Lefties would have to criticise 'Bama directly. Criticism of 'Bama from the left has been beyond the pale since way back when he first became a serious contender for the presidency. In order for the Righties to give people the info they need, the Righties would have to admit that the only reason that they're on the amnesty bandwagon is that their big donors want a docile, unorganized work force. Hmmm.

It's up to people who care about the quality of American life to do everything we can to make info available. The illegalimmigration site will get info out to some people. But even there I think that it would be a good idea to hammer away at the connection between illegal aliens and jobs. That tactic should work, because jobs and unemployment rank high on Americans' concerns. It also has the virtue of coming from truth. Illegals do undercut Americans for jobs and they do have a depressing effect on wages. That effect may not be large, but when you have to budget, to make sure that the rent is paid and that you can also put food on the table, any dimunition is a serious one. That doesn't mean that we should avoid unsavory topics. It just means that we're serving steak along with the sizzle.

At the moment, blogging and writing and calling seem like the best ways to get info to people about the reality of illegal aliens. We might include media folks on our contact lists, to see if we can generate some interest in sites which advocate for Americans.
