Last night I watched Homegrown terrorism explodes in Europe , and The Muslim Americans on PBS. Perhaps because of this, this morning I woke up thinking about criminal activity in immigrant communities all over the world.

Smugglers Suspected in Freeway Shootout
Now don't start in on me, because I know that it is rare. Most immigrants, legal or illegal do NOT engage in illegal activity (unless it involves paying coyotes or buying fake documents ). Then they can work for some asshole who is increasing profits by paying less than they did when American citizens would do the jobs. The whole cycle of exploitation makes me sick.
The STRIVE act is not the answer. It's a way for large corporations to use and throw away their slaves when they are done with them. The Gonzales hearings are getting all the press today, but there is supposed to be a meeting going on right now.
Get ready for another big immigrant rally on May 1, 2007
