<DIV>I have been reading the exchanges on Town Talk</DIV>
<DIV>about the immigrant situation in the USA. </DIV>
<DIV> Our great country was founded by immigrants</DIV>
<DIV> We "immigrants" booted the American Indian</DIV>
<DIV> A very unkind thing to do to the orig.peoples</DIV>
<DIV> Americans feel threatened by immigrants</DIV>
<DIV> Their answer is to "boot" out the immigrants</DIV>
<DIV> Hitler booted his jews to protect his own</DIV>
<DIV> Jews & Palestine fighting to the end</DIV>
<DIV> Iraq groups fighting to the end</DIV>
<DIV> African groups fighting to the end</DIV>
<DIV>One common "thread" is we cannot live together</DIV>
<DIV>If you threaten my "rights" you have to go</DIV>
<DIV>Our country will fall with "you" in it</DIV>
<DIV>I have to protect my Rights & privileges in USA</DIV>
<DIV>USA did not fall your when your family immigrated</DIV>
<DIV>USA will not fall with its immigrants now</DIV>
<DIV>But those that do feel this way - what/who gave </DIV>
<DIV>you the right to have one single "right" that is</DIV>
<DIV>at the expense of another human? It is my right to</DIV>
<DIV>smoke & I dont care if you get cancer. My right to </DIV>
<DIV>drive drunk - if you get in my way-oh well!. I would </DIV>
<DIV>have more rights if you were not here - so you must go.</DIV>
<DIV>If you say Then they should not come here - think</DIV>
<DIV>back, your family came here or you would not be here.</DIV>
<DIV>Immigrants will always come because they want to</DIV>
<DIV>better their life, better their children's life--just like</DIV>
<DIV>you want to better yours & keep what you have. But </DIV>
<DIV>are you going to keep what you have or what you </DIV>
<DIV>might have had in the future - at another person's</DIV>
<DIV>expense??? Is this what we are about??Is this</DIV>
<DIV>what you want to be remembered for? I think it is</DIV>
<DIV>the "attitude" that I object to. Working together to</DIV>
<DIV>solve challenges in a understanding caring way is</DIV>
<DIV>so much more humane, unselfish. If we & the</DIV>
<DIV>world keep fighting over this challenge, maybe </DIV>
<DIV>our spiritual lesson is to drop the attitude &</DIV>
<DIV>work together for the betterment of all...even if</DIV>
<DIV>it means a little less for each.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>You don't need to be Frederico Fellini to see the subtitles
developing here in the most recent threads of TownTalk. The pitchforks are
being thrust into the air, German accents asking "Vere are your papers"
wafting up from the no-so-great state of Arizona into Riverdale Park. If I
were from El Salvador, I might be telling my young children "If anyone asks,
we are from Iceland."

<DIV>There's an ugly pot of stew brewing and some of the cooks ought to be
rethinking their menus... </DIV>

<TD vAlign=top>Thanks, Kathy!<BR><BR>Also you can go to the top of the
email and click on the address to just send a 'fresh' posting.
You can cut and paste the subject if you'd like.<BR><BR>Thanks also
for the great exchange of opinions regarding the overcrowding of
single family homes. So much of what people said was soooo
interesting. On the practical side, Audrey's suggestion to take
photos of homes that are going to ruin to the town and give them to
the code enforcers directly was great. Of course, then I thought
"I really like that family, they are so warm and friendly" and
wondered what would happen to them if they were found to be in
violation of something (or their landlord) and had to move. But
then I think "That house is destroying our property
values".....<BR><BR>I was disappointed to not hear from our
Mayor. I had assumed that he would have been the most
knowledgeable about the affect this has on our town's
resources.<BR><BR>Nancy<BR><BR></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>TownTalk
