We Reap What They Sow
Like most issues of today they were born out of past tragedies. One of the major issues in the United States is illegal Mexican border crossings. The sad thing is that Mexico’s problem came about around 1938 with article 27. With the passing of that article the death of the co-op land happened. This was the beginning of the death of the poor in Mexico.
Now on top of this when Mexican citizens try to start a new life with dignity in the US. They’re harassed by a group known as the new minute men. A group that still believes that borders still matter; which is a cute thought if major companies believed in them as well. At best, we can try to force them to help raise the lives of those that are indentured to them. Though unfortunately wage slavery is a reality regardless of location around the world. Some organizations like the IWW are trying to help stop wage slavery.
Now the argument that if we “deal” with the Mexican border issue somehow this will help the US in some way is childish and may be a tad racist. The truth is they are coming here to do exactly the same thing that all of our ancestors did. Now if the wages where fair around the world chances are immigration would slow to a crawl.
Then when this happens we can begin to raise the black flag of freedom around the world! Only once we stop caring about arbitrary lines on a paper; and force companies to pay living wages around the world. This will allow us to live with respect and we can move on to harder issues facing mankind.
