Deportation or citizenship? No choices are easy or simple. But we all should know that there is no free ride in life, and, being a hard worker does have any guarantees either!

In a perfect world the need for human rights advocates wouldn't even be necessary. Show me the person who thinks everything is just fine today, and I'll show you someone looking at the world through rose colored glasses.

That's the problem in life, and highlighted explosively in today's observant media, some people are working so hard, they only have time to work, and to rest, and then go back to work again. They don't have the time, or the opportunity, in some cases, to complain to the management, they don't have the energy left to make a significant revolt to there situation. While others are profiting so handsomely, and are so insulated from the realities of business and profit, the effect of there profitable schemes, aren't fully realized by many of them in human terms. And if it is realized by the perpetrators, than I have no sympathy for them, or their illegal profits.

Thomas Jefferson said it in the Declaration of Independence that, people are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, then to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed.

And business may even agree that things are bad now, but, they will also say that things could get worse, so they will tend to perpetuate the sufferable(s) too. Evidence will suggest that there is a select few who don't mind profiting, even if there are abuses.

This means that; even though our country is stocked full of an illegal work force who are just looking for a better alternative than they have at home, and their goals may be noble taking on any work cheaper, and work longer for the benefit of their families, they are still illegally residing in The United States, and they are fully aware that they are illegally occupying a position in place of a legal citizen in this country.

This is having a detrimental effect of the real wages a blue collar worker can earn, anyone, who, for whatever reasons didn't realize his educational potential. Corporate American has succeeded in rolling back many of the gains in workers rights that were earn through blood sweet and tears of a few generations ago. When a job was a career for life, and adequate compensation was provided and expected for services rendered. Basic human rights.

Far too common today, many businesses are exploiting the illegal work force, who have invaded America,
