that's funny, i watched this video without sound and thought "...all this needs is the Benny Hill music", and then turned on my speakers and was pleasantly surprised.
Maybe we should just work something out so that they can get health insurance that we will recognize in the states. If they come into the hospital w/ insurance you treat them and let them go. If they come in without insurance, you treat them and then deport them.Most will opt to get health insurance imo.
Los Angeles will never be Mexico city; the U.S. Fed Gov will see to that. Besides, that's not what emigrees want. Promoting Los Angeles as a diverse Metropolis and America's gateway to Latin America seems to be the most logical progression here. Much like New York City serves as Europe's gateway to the New World, Los Angeles can become the next step in creating a global network that links the developing nations of the South (which have vast amounts of resources but limited infrastructure) with industrialized nations seeking to create mutually beneficial agreements. I'm no NAFTA drone, in fact my Fathers job was recently sent to Guatemala 2 years before he retired; but I understand that a global shift in the way we do business is inevitable. For the sake of our economy we cannot continue to pursue the isolationists standpoint originally proposed by George Washington in his Presidency's Farewell address. I also don't mind a demographic shift, specifically when that shift promotes diversity within a community and an economy as financially striated as California's (where the divide of wealth is VERY evident). I don't see anybody knocking Boston for being too Irish or San Francisco for being too Chinese, in fact the waves of immigrants into New York city are the cornerstone of it's success (ever wonder why your broker tells you to diversify? Well, at least mine does). The Native Americans hated the Dutch, the Dutch hated the Irish, etc...where the hell did that get us? While I can understand that it is easier to recoil from and reject the traditions of foreign cultures, it is more important and exponentially more difficult to seek to understand how cultural behavior informs our choices and actions if we are to ever dip our heads out of this recession.This all boils down to the simple rules of supply and demand inherent in capitalism. There is a high demand for cheap labor in the U.S., and many immigrants see it as an opportunity to get their foot in the door to a better life if not for them, for their children. In fact, the Iberian peninsulas' proximity to Morocco has created a similar climate in Spain, where tensions between the two cultures have flared for centuries. While the two situations may be different in regards to reasons for emigrating, the Iberian region has managed to celebrate this diversity and reap the benefits.Ignorance has created a culture of FEAR in America that has everybody running scared of each other instead of seeking to create an open dialog to solve our nations problems. Once this nation learns to reconcile those irrational fears we can all get back to the task of making this the greatest nation in the world.
