They are in a position to be taken advantage of, abused, even killed because they can't and won't name their abusers/attackers. And those that are victims of sexual abuse have it even worse, I think, because it's enough of a challenge under normal circumstances to bring sexual predators to justice, but in their case they have no support system and their entire family become victims. Trump and his extended network are horrible.

I'm glad you like my "...MICK: Thank you. I'm glad you like my "fake news". LOL I made a few changes to the post and added a link to the site where I got the information for the post. I did another post about this subject in 2010. Here's the link: http://www.salenalettera.com/2010/07/dear-arizona.html<br /><br /><br />HEATHER: I posted the link on my Facebook page! Share away! You know, you can also share my posts on your social media by using the links at the very bottom of the post - there's a little gray colored icon at the bottom of each post, after the "labels" section. Or just copying the URL to the post. <br /><br />The wall is useless. Almost half of the undocumented immigrants in this country are people who came here legally and overstayed their visas or work permits. People are just hell-bent on thinking all these people are slithering on their bellies across "the border". I've been to the border. I actually hauled the steel sections of part of the wall they put up in Arizona. <br /><br />And regarding the work immigrants do - I'd love to see what people would say when they're paying $6.00 for a head of lettuce. I have been all over this country and have seen the people working in the fields - picking and packing celery, picking tomatoes, harvesting almonds and pecans, picking strawberries, lettuce, artichokes, etc. - and I can tell you right now, giving a visual assessment of the people doing the work....not ONE "white" person. <br /><br />I also working in the restaurant and hospitality industry for years. In my area, most of the housekeeping staff are Mexican. The groundskeeping staff is Mexican. The lobby porters are Mexican. And when I worked in Seattle, the housekeeping staff was Asian and Filipino. In the restaurant business, much of the kitchen staff is Mexican. <br /><br />These people do valuable work. They add to our economy. They enrich our society. I wouldn't want to live in a country without them. They are the backbone of our nation.

LOL! <br />I try and explain to people that a wall will do next to nothing to keep undocumented people out. Also, if they like their meat and produce they'd better hope that Trump doesn't start mass deportations or there will be nothing to eat and what's available will be very expensive. <br /><br />When I drove truck, I hauled meat and produce. The only people willing to work in those environments was immigrants, undocumented or otherwise. In fact I read about and heard from truck driving friends about several packing houses trying to hire all the unemployed people in CA in 2009 or 2010 after the economy tanked and for 200 some jobs advertised, less than 20 people showed up.<br /><br />Thanks for this! heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16155241223968227702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12745308.post-32274506770792154472017-03-20T12:56:19.005-03:002017-03-20T12:56:19.005-03:00Brilliant post Salena-or as Donald would say "...Brilliant post Salena-or as Donald would say "fake news"!
