most part. You are spot on in acknowledging an underclass growing
in this country. Every illegal immigrant that sneaks into the US then has children is part of that underclass you speak of. It's horrific IMO that the people we send to Washington are so busy worrying about votes, they are completely inept in dealing with the issue. We have freaking badland neighborhoods in our country where law enforcement almost needs an armored car with a turret gun on top to patrol. This IS our underclass and it will only get larger as fewer alternatives are offered to our youth, especially immigrant and poverty class youth. Currently the only true salvation for many of these youngsters is the US Military. Many of this young men and women are the finest representation of America a citizen could ask for. Yet many privileged liberals put down that system because they deem it "taking advantage". They need to get out and mingle with some of these people. Some of the futuristic offerings put forth by the Hollywood establishment are a lot closer to reality than those privileged arseholes can imagine. |
