2011 The first decade of this 21st is gone. Gone is also the hope of finding a solution to the millions of undocumented workers living in the U.S.
Clinton wouldn’t do it. Bush started with a bang- the visit of Vicente Fox (cool to see a Mexican president taller that a U.S. president from Texas). Then 9/11 happened and the word was to close the southern border though the terrorists were using the Canadian border.
Obama turned his back temporarily to the 10 to 15 million people living and working in this country, some of which helped him get elected.
Temporarily I hope. The narrow mindedness (I really want to say bigotry, but I won’t) of the republicans is self defeating. Ask Harry Reid.
So 2011 is here. The economic news is getting better. The days of farm workers wiping out $100 bills and buying 20 pairs of jeans can’t be too far away.
Come on! Let’s legalize people, legalize families, legalize and educate the generation that will be taking care of us baby-boomers. In 20 years we will be begging Mexicans to come and work here.
Then again, I might just be retired in Colima or Playa del Carmen!
