When the Irish were the bracero's. When we do not speak up for the injustices of others, no one will speak when it is your turn, because your turn will surely come. Yesterday it was the Irish, today is the Mexicans and other visible minorities that are being stereotyped and attacked at borders mercilessly.
Immigrants come in all shades and sizes. To migrate is to human as applie pie is to Americans. It is the nature of people to move where the grass is greener. These artificial borders we put up and say "this is mine" can never, ever stem the tide of people moving to find cool watering holes and greener pasteurs to feed itself and family.
