Blame game, Blame game, Who is to Blame?




Full article here.

So here we have Chipotle firing illegal immigrants because of the crackdown we've been having on the poor "untouchables." I can say that. I am Mexican. My entire family worked their way through this system my being the "untouchables" of society: the cooks, the dishwashers, the maids, the fast food workers, etc. Ok so fine. We can SAY that they are taking jobs away from the 9%+ of people unemployed that are LEGALLY here.

BUT if we are going to start playing the blame game, there's PLENTY more we can talk about that makes illegal immigrants look like chump change in comparison.












Wal-Mart:
So far, more than 70% of the commodities sold in Wal-Mart are Made in China.

Last year, the firm bought $15 billion products from China, half from direct purchasing, the other from the firm's suppliers in China.

More than 5,000 Chinese enterprises have established steady supply alliances with Wal-Mart

"Photo Op!! Say Cheese! Pretend like we're friends! No one will notice!"

OUR OWN GOVERNMENT:

the White House announced $45 billion in new trade deals with China, including

a $19 billion deal with Boeing and a package with GE expected to generate more $2 billion in U.S. exports.

Some economists say the deals will hurt U.S. efforts to end the jobless Great Recession.

No really. I can't say anymore. I have to get out of this house and on to class!
