crossing the line...

Events over take me… personal and work related… so I haven’t had much time to post.

I do have a number of thoughts concerning the immigration debate… I am interested in the need to maintain an inexpensive unprotected service class… It serves Capital's aims. If we had a system for workers to come in legally and a means for them to immigrate after certain criteria had been met, then laissez faire would be served… It would simplify monitoring the borders, fewer terrorists slipping over from Mexico… Oh wait, but that would mean that rights would have to be granted and protection extended to the workers… and that would make them more expensive… and where would their “otherness” go? We have an awful lot of encoded language that is about protecting the “whiteness” of the U.S.

So when does equality for all really mean equality for all?
