Smooth Running Democracies

I had a conversation with a guy last night. The U.S. is a pretty bitchen place. People get into storage connexes, in places like Shanghai, with some food and water, and hope they make it alive to the States. Wow. I don't think that anyone in the States is getting into a storage connex and hoping to make it alive to China or North Korea, or
Cuba.

People risk their lives in the desert every single day of every single year hoping to make it to the U.S. alive.

What a wonderful place we have here. What a tradition we have for being the melting pot that we are. While people in the wold are grinding their axe with our current foreign policy...people are still risking their lives in droves in the hope of living here.

I think about that from time to time. It keeps me grateful for what we have.

The right answers for these issues are obviously not easy. They are worth working out, in the best interest of all concerned. We are just coming to the same conclusion that the Native Americans came to? Holy shit!! These people are coming and they ain't gonna stop!!! Yep, they sure are. If we manage it right, they will certainly add to our prosperity, thereby brining more to our great nation.
