The other day I went to one neighborhood convenience store that I regularly frequented, but there weren't the regular two American men there who I had grown accustomed to seeing, but a young Latin woman. When I ask what had happened to the guys who were regularly there, she just said that they no longer worked there. Whatever the circumstances may have been, all I saw was another American replaced by a Mexican, or person of Latin origin, or who speaks another language other then English. The area around the store has an exploding Hispanic population; many probably didn't speak English well, if at all. So, I expected that the owner may have seen this as a business move, but to me this is the same decision that too many American business owners are being faced with daily in this country. But, my question is similar to that which was asked by John Adams, "Among the number of applications..., cannot we find an American capable and worthy of the trust? ...Why should we take the bread out of the mouths of our own children and give it to strangers?"

Businesses across the nation are replacing American workers with lower costing foreigners, whether they be from Latin America, India, or any other dealer of low-skilled labor. But, by far the largest importation of low-skilled labor is coming from Mexico. And it is from there that this republic is being most negatively affected socially, economically, and politically. As I reported in my 07 article, Where Is America's Outrage Over It's Economic Race To The Bottom?, what is occurring in America today is purposely misrepresented as immigration of people from Mexico, referring particularly to illegal immigration, rather than properly defining it as colonization. "The definition of to colonize, "is to place (voters) [persons] illegally in a (district) [country or area] so as to influence an election." And colonialism "is the system or policy by which a country maintains foreign colonies in order to exploit them economically." Whereas to immigrate, means "To come into a country of which he is not a native, for permenant residence." We have all heard the argument from the pro-illegal immigration proponents comparing the current version of immigration to that which occurred during earlier generations. But, what they seemingly to be oblivious of is that the majority of this current crop of immigrants, particularly from Mexico, is that they have no real desire to become Americans, to become productive U.S citizens, or official permenant
