[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These immigrants prepare food, care for children, clean clothes, tend to the landscaping, clean houses, build new homes and renovate old ones, repair cars, maintain commercial buildings -- basically support the lives of the many affluent in this area.

We take care of our own home and yard. 
We raise our own kids. 
We wash and take care of our own clothing.

We have our cars repaired at local small businesses owned by Americans. 
Our house is lovely and old, and well-maintained. It wasn't built by cheap labor and it's going to be standing for ages after the McMansions fall.

We have no use for these criminals. Your attempted guilt trip has no effect on me. [/quote]

I am certain that you enjoy the bubble you live in.

Unfortunately for you, however, all of your neighbors and friends in the community do interact with, and enjoy the help and services of immigrant labor and businesses.

Immigrants will always seek out opportunity and a better life for their children, and this area is ripe with economic opportunity; so your protective bubble will not change the fact that immigrants are here, that they will continue to come to the Washington metropolitan region in great numbers, and that we must think of the best way to help this new and next generation of Americans learn, integrate, and prosper in the same country that has given your ancestors and your family so much opportunity.[/quote]
