129. I Do Not Owe You An Explanation
You made the charge. It is up to you to substantiate it.

I refute your "evidence."

I am not bigoted...I merely do not wish to have more workers available for fewer jobs. If you REALLY BELIEVE that all these "guest workers" once they are legal...will settle for only the shit jobs...and not the kinds of jobs I myself might be pursuing, then you have another thing to think about.

These illegal immigrants currently take the "shit jobs" because it is the only kind they can get, because of their illegal status. Once they become legal, do you think they will not try to better themselves, and move into the kinds of jobs I would like to do...and have the skills for?

Do you mean to tell me, you think that these currently illegal immigrants have no skills other than to be migrant farm workers? If you think THAT...then you are the bigot, not me.
