U.S. going toward elite supremacy from Mexico and U.S.
I am saving my money as much as I can right now. I see this country basically becoming communist allready. Bush is wanting for us to have two social classes- rich and poor. On Lou Dobbs friday night, his substitute gave us good look at the new jobs he claims have been created. Of course it was softened by saying jobs have only increased among college/high school students and blacks and minorities. I am sorry, but here in Mass, at the Pizzeria Uno I worked at, the only blacks I saw were either brazillian, dominican, cape verdian or haitian. All most of those low end employers will accept a passport as i.d. or legal verification and don't even check
minorities use passports as I.D.
As it is, most of the customer service jobs at hotels, restaurants, etc are done by South Americans because they have more motivation. MOst who come here allready know english-well, not peru, colombia, as well as other benedict arnold easily brainwashed latin american nations. I know my dad learned many languages as a merchant marine. He used to have his grandkids call him NONO - italian for Grandpa. It is sad, but when I was a waitress at Unos, I always said Ciao for goodbye in proper euro spanish. In italian it is hello. In most of South america it is goodbye amongst the educated. The word was originally Spanish. I have never said Adios in my life and probably never will. Mexicans frown when I have done this but then again at the time, they depended on me to interpret for them. I wish I knew then what I know now...restaurant managers accept passport as i.d. and for work eligibility in the U.S. I am not sure if that is legal or not. I know that is how brazilians come here to work. As it is all of the bilinguals in my bank never want to give me money because my last name is Alfaro and I am white as hell. They ask me sometimes for rediculous id however, the illegals have to hardly come up with anything. All they have to do is show their "pity poor dirt impoverished, uneducated , I am too old to learn english rhetoric. Even up here they do it. Especially, when I tell them I prefer english and have all proper i.d. They figure out I am educated and they cannot solicit illegal money laundering tips(bank account info in Switzerland with bribery for them)
and when they start with, "Buenos Dias Senora,...I say, we would be better off in English because I cannot understand Mexican and dont wish to be talked to like one. Then I would say, "Este es Los Estados Unidos, si?
e siesque requerda correctement, el idioma es englis, si? meaning, what country is this? Isn't the language english here. They get the idea. The mexican banks are corrupt. Anyway. back to jobs. Waitress jobs are filled by college/hoochie looking foreigners, fast food is merely being filled by illegal hispanics whose managers know they can screw them on labor. McDonalds is one of the worst at it. That was my first job and could not understand why I had to speak slow, two syllable spanish for social reasons in work. Oh, they can read slips)illegal cooks) but can't hear or speak english. They blame mistakes on orders by claiming the printer did not work or they did not understand me etc.BS.
