So far no effect on those from regions south of our border, they keep
coming and coming, no issue in that regard. And those I have had
conversations in some of those countries would be here tomorrow if they
could (and those from definitely have no plans to go back, except to
take the wealth they made here to set themselves up there). In fact, in
our conversations they see the USA as a beacon of opportunity as well as
a beneficiary, spending money and helping other countries with their
problems. Not to say that there have not been some real FU's in the
past, but in spite of those the positive view is still there, given
their existing situations, where opportunities are limited, govts are
not particularly helpful, and corruption is rampant.
I find it kind of interesting, if given the choice of 1) staying where
they are in Central or So America, 2) going to some other country
(Europe, Asia, Mid East, Africa, etc.), or 3) going to USA, door #3 is
generally the choice, Bob, fascism or not. I think they are kinda
liking that manifest destiny thing, it beats the dead ends they face.
I'll stop along the freeway tomorrow and ask a few of those 500 guys
standing around waiting for work what their views are on manifest
destiny and US fascism, and let y'all know.
