When I read Mr. Bradish’s April 29 letter, I was surprised that he had used another person’s quotation. Namely “What are we going to do about the foreigners trespassing in our country.” I believe that statement came from Geronimo or Sitting Bull; maybe Powatan.
Someone please tell me in what year the Mexican government came to Virginia and forced DMV to give exams in English and Spanish. Likewise forms for hospitals, schools, social services, etc, that
Virginia was forced to print in two languages. As for immigrants taking jobs; the truth is that big business sent the good jobs overseas years ago.
My sneakers are made in Vietnam, boxers in Dominican Republic, shorts in India, t-shirt in Honduras; etc. Many textile factories sit idle in the South and people are having to take jobs at less pay. On a
recent trip to the drug store to pick up some Dr. Scholls foot pads and a small roll of 3M Scotch tape, I found that both are now made in China.
If Mr. Stewart had come around with his proposal 20 years ago, it would have made more sense.Oh! I forgot, Mr. Stewart has only been around six or seven years.
Mr. Stewart wants to arouse the populace to advance his own political goals.
If George W. Bush worried more about the Mexican border , and less about the Iranian border, a lot of the problems would have been avoided.
