It was a good speach, but....

One gets the feeling that it was more political than substantive. There was a little something for everybody in there. Still the speech was lacking in a couple key areas... One, as touched on in the previous post, action needs to be taken with those employers who exploit the situation. Two, we must realize that the majority of these people are economic refugees. Why are we not helping our neighbor(s) become more prosperous so that people could stay there??? We definately need to look at the failure of NAFTA to bring prosperity to Mexico. All that has occured is corporate exploitation of poor people. Thus this modern-day exodus.
