Sitting here watching CNN's report on the children of Romania. How sad. Yet one more thing to add to my list of things to do should I ever win the lottery... so yeah, I know that's not going to happen, but it's definitely worth dreaming about.

It made me think about the whole immigration controversy in the last few months. I personally do not have anything against anyone coming from another country to try to improve their lives. What I have a problem with is the cultural habits. That is why mexican laborers accept such smaller salaries that the good ol' American working class. Mexican's don't think twice about having multiple families living in one house. In the apartment complex I lived in in Atlanta, my next door neighbors consisted of one actual married couple, their 4 children and 4 adult men. They lived in a 2 bedroom apt!!!!! Of course they could afford to make the rent, they had 5 incomes! This is where the problem lies. Apartments claim to screen their tenants, make all adults sign the lease... yeah right! Not at that one and not at 2 other complexes I've lived in the past. This is what fucks up our economy. This is why middle class families suffer so much these days. Lou Dobbs called it, he stated every single thing that I've had on my mind for years. Gooooooooooooooooo Lou! Give 'em hell and call it straight up!
