#18  Do they *have* to be illegals?
Lots of places have a strong seasonal demand for service and ag workers. Seems simple enough to create a seasonal visa system now that we have invented the computer.

#17  I see no indication American society is educated. Having a student loan does not make you educated.

#5  And speaking of spillover from last month, iconic images (the casta thing), and public broadcasting found comedy...

Black History Month! Always fresh looks
And fresh meat from the usual cooks!
PBS: "Still to come:
Untold Stories" (more chum?)
Overlaying that view of the Brooks.

"I'm edumacated! And second,
It might cast a bright
And unflattering light
On America's own Negro Legend."

#3  The Peoples Republic of California is about the only place with Illegals picking crops. (veggies and fruits)
Most of our crops are corn, wheat, oats, rice and cotton. Machines pick them.

#2  Q1. Does she consider herself "educated"?
Q2. How come "African-American" proponents of unrestricted immigration never look at how blacks are treated in Latin America?
