Fences

I've been thinking a lot lately about fences. I watched a recent CNN/Anderson Cooper report about the Minutemen. It pissed me off a lot, as it always does whenever white people complain about illegals taking their jobs. The Minutemen are people who've never been poor, have never had to scrounge for a dollar or two to make ends meet. They're people who are not complaining about the low, low price of apples or lettuce because someone picked them who didn't have to make minimum wage or get health benefits. They're people who shop at Wal-Mart, not because they can't afford anything else, but because it's convenient, and there, and a name they trust. It's funny to think what might happen to their low prices and jobs for Americans if there were no more illegal workers in this country.
