The way some of us, especially Republicans, are treating and want to treat immigrants harkens back to the days when slavery was legal in the USA. Immigrants today do the same work back breaking work that slaves once did, and though it needs to be done, harvesters deserve sufficient compensation, such as healthcare.
It is time to stop taking advantage of immigrants, so that we stop creating another social caste. I would never support the denial of education, and/or food, to anybody. I would also like to facilitate immigrants gain of citizenship and suffrage.

Raise the Minimum Wage? Is this some kind of joke?
I keep reading about politicians who want to raise the minimum wage. This is a pipedream at this point. It seems more likely that Republicans will be able to thwart it in the next Congressional term. What crosses my mind is that possibly key Democrats are trumpeting it merely as a way to get more votes for the November 4 election despite the fact that it is unlikely to happen.

"The 1956 Republican Platform" What changed?
It is not about being a Republican or a Democrat, and that one is necessarily wrong, but there is a degree of correctness that is inherent to politics despite the commonality of differing opinions. Politics is a question of the heart, and the bottom line, both of which are not mutually exclusive. The Republicans in the Red states generally have a different sense of goodness, as compared to the Democrats of the Blue states. If something is in fact good, it should bring a sense of wholeness in its resonance in souls, yet I am not one to say that the Red states have it all wrong because in those states there is a greater preponderance of inept folks than the Blue states. In consequence, the ways folks will vote show some natural discrepancies, and that is okay.
