grits ain't groceries

grits ain't groceries

A Poem by keith
"

hiring illegals is illegal

"
grits ain't groceries!

this song has nothing to do with the subject matter
it is a trick it is a diversion
it is redirection
sound familiar?
 i have liked this song since forever







the illegal immigrants come here for the unlawfully provided jobs that most think 
have been taken from them
a local cafe has run an ad in the local paper advertising 
for waitress staff and kitchen workers (dishwashers/janitors) 

since forever!

they pay below minimum wage
they pay unlivable wages

those that hire are the crux of the problem
no jobs given soon becomes no applicants
the people that hire those not allowed to legally work are 
THE FUKIN PROBLEM!

that is a good place to start
farms ranches construction companies manual labor are the major law breakers
the laws state ... 

hire illegals go to jail

CLINK! CLINK!

Author's Note

keith
i grew up as part of the hispanic communities of the rio grande valley in the southern most portion of texas made of 80% +/- hispanic 15% +/- anglo and 5% everyone else
we were a multi-cultural world in which we worked played and lived
we were all tejanos each and all ... yes there was migrant farm labor and also those passing thru on their way north ... most shared what we had because that's how the valley wuz before reagan
there is a major problem that deporting and locking others up will never solve
once the position becomes open there are few that do get hired and another hundred waiting in line to just get by
