[AAACE-NLA] Immigration and adult ed

[Merle Ayres]

Andrea: My thinking has changed by some on the list that think very narrow. 
Illegal aliens for sure.  I don't know where the term came from. It is 
political by nature and its hard to take politics out of the immigration 
issue. It does give some ammunition to buy into this thinking.
  I would rather call these people from Canada or Mexico emerging citizens. 
If we treat these people like crimminals they will act like them. I was 
treated in London a few weeks ago like anyone else. All races be it Musllim, 
Spanish, Croats, Blacks, French didnt seem to have any hangups where I came 
from. I think our problem is engrained in us Americans that we rise above 
the rest in the world. That gets us into trouble.
Our political system where we take 2 years to select a President also gets 
people more polarized. I witnessed the same thing in Georgia when Martin 
Luther King made history. I dont want that to happen again but it sure seems 
we are headed that direction. Im not all down on most rational people on the 
list but this lately strikes of the same road our country went down in the 
60s. Hope I don't offend most people.
