(My 2 cents) Golfing in an affluent Latino development
Edited on Tue Mar-28-06 02:44 PM by underpants
I just wanted to share this story.

The last time I played golf it was in a golf course development. Amongst the McMansions about half of them seemed to have Hummers in the driveway. New money for sure but they seemed to have lots of it.

I don't know what these people did to amass their wealth but let me tell you this-- everyone *I* saw was Latino and they were so wealthy they were at home during the weekday and out working on their lawns and gardens.

So, then there is that






:sarcasm:

BTW- before gets all upset about this I don't have any problem with people coming to this country. The problem isn't that they are here the problem is that they are here illegally. The simplest solution is to make them LEGAL. Amnesty, letting them "off the hook", "rewarding lawbreaking" yeah yeah yeah whatever.

Listen here is the actual deal with this

1.It is a wedge issue and will be used to SCARE the bejeesus out of the white folks. Oh the other folks too. Talk about a trifecta you get the FEAR factor as well as separating the races. Howard Zinn was dead right about that.

2.There just MIGHT be someone who doesn't want them to be "tracked" and don't want anyone to know where they are and what they do and under what conditions and for how much. Got it? THAT is why they are kept illegal.

3. I added a bit of disclaimer/explanation of my actual point
and I do have one.

I hope it will also highlight the :sarcasm: thingy.
