Even more, I balk at the term "undocumented". Well of course one is "undocumented" if they sneak across an international border and live in a country other than the one in which they were born. Rule Of Law is what separates us from the lesser primates.
But, as to "resistance": I think it's a word (fast becoming a term) that has a lot more meaning than problems with immigration. A lot of us look at Mr. Trump and see a man unqualified to lead a country and feel real concern that he will bumble and stumble to the point of destroying our democratic institutions as we know them.
Watching and listening to his first month in office only make me feel more certain of this.
So, I'll "resist", by whatever legal and socially acceptable means, the utter ignorance this president has so far demonstrated and watch closely his attempts to change policy and laws that might take us back to the 19th century.
Bingo, exactly..
So, we are going back to calling them wet backs?
Lets just combine the old with the new PC and call then undocumented wetbacks.
Good to know there is both new and old PC. I swear, there are times when I don't know how to slip in between the two. I guess all we can do it try.
I'll never come to terms with the whole "immigration thing". I have nothing but empathy for folks who were born in the wrong place, dealing with death, disease, poverty and no HBO. But damn...we can't take them ALL.
So, now in the autumn of my life I leave it up to you guys. You, and president Trump.
I wonder if they'll be called 'wall climbers' in the future?
