A Wave of Uneducated , Non-English Speakers.

Today’s USA Today reports
Mexicans with little education and limited English skills are leading a wave of newly arrived immigrants who are increasingly fanning out from traditional gateway states, Census data released Tuesday indicate.
.
The dispersal of new immigrants to parts of the Southeast and Midwest that are unaccustomed to foreign-born populations in large numbers may be fueling national concerns about illegal immigration, some population analysts say.
How long can this same story go on? How long can Americans absorb this influx of poorly educated non-English speaking "immigrants"? How can large numbers of the poorest of the poor steaming in here be a net win for our country as a whole? The cost is great- A recent report published by the National League of Cities states
Rapid increases in urbanization, population, immigration, and the aging community… present governments with significant challenges in meeting people’s needs.
Translation: It costs money.
.
The only people benefiting from large numbers of poorly-educated persons who can’t speak the language are those who employ them at wages lower than what would be accepted by more educated workers. I have long contended that these employers are a modern class of slaveholder- in some ways worse.  As I learned from my history lessons in high school, in the days of slavery, the owner provided food, shelter, clothing and medicines to the slaves he owned. More often than not, he took care of his “possessions” to keep them in “good order.” (not that being a slave in the best of conditions was in any way right)
.
Today, the employer of illegal (“undocumented”) aliens (“immigrants”) needs only to send a van to a special area and pick up “day laborers,” use them for the day, pay them a meager salary and dump them back at the pen upon days end. Gone are the food, shelter, clothing and medicine. Compare yesterday’s slaves to the modern day “undocumented immigrant” and you will find that, other than the lack of whiplashes, there might be little difference.
.
The result? Being a good and decent people, we Americans fill the gap with a generous social safety net- thereby subsidizing the modern-day slaveholders- and glossing over REAL “human rights” violations with money. Where does it all end?
