Immigration Policy Changes

A bunch of Brazilians are going back  because the atmosphere is not as kind to immigrants in the U. S. as it used to be and the economy is growing gang-busters back home. APR had a lady on the radio crying that she felt violated because of the changes in policy. I feel violated because they are not following the same laws and paying the same taxes that I must. It must be an even playing field in order for the competition part of capitalism to function.

This is push back from enforcing the laws that are already on the books. The lady in the interview was the owner of a motorcycle repair shop back in Brazil. She was a hair dresser here. Nothing wrong with either of those. 

It sounds like people from other countries watch TV and movies where every one has an eight bedroom house and four cars. Their kids all go to college. Poor people are only poor because they did something wrong. That just isn't the way it works here. Now that housing is drying up, salaries are stagnant, the dollar has already tanked, inflation is looming, high tech jobs are headed to China and India, manufacturing is all but gone, and multiple wars, it seems people are ready to say that the U. S. is not the promised land. People can do everything right, work hard, work smart and still end up broke.
