15. Hey, I don't care that they don't care!

They're fellow Americans and they damn well better care about their fellow man and woman AND child. Migrant or not. Citizen or not. Sorry to have to break it to 'em, but they're here, too! They use our water systems, our highway systems, the fruits of our farming communities, the back-breaking work of our laborers, the national, state, and local protection systems that help keep us safe, and MUCH MORE! That's all covered by OUR tax money that they, too, contribute.

I've heard more and more coverage focusing on people whose financial circumstances haven't felt it intensely or personally yet, but may now be STARTING to. Watch what kind of impact that's gonna start having. It's bound to be rather educational - and illuminating.

And btw, angrychair, EVERYBODY needs to hear this!!!
