Immigration: The New Generational Conflict

Really??? The new generational conflict? Come on. As one who is younger than the 45-year-old geezer age cut off, but married to one older than such, I find this headline insulting. What the subtext screams is, "You old farts don't know shit and should just die so we can rid you of your outdated belief system."

Not so fast, there, young whipper-snapper. The hippies of the 1960's thought the very same thing. They were determined to change the world. And guess what. Now they're the older generation you're bitching about. Maybe life lessons have taught them a thing or two that you 20 year-olds have absolutely NO clue about. Ya think???? I'm just sayin....

Ever hear of respecting your elders? Probably not, as you were raised thinking you were the center of the universe and everything should be handed to you. Your elders fought and died for this country that every body is so desperately illegally trying to break into. Show some respect.

The other thing that pisses me off is that the media is trying to portray that 'mature citizens' are the anti-christ and non-humanitarian. Bullshit. What the real issue is ILLEGAL immigration and not immigration in general. Nobody with active brain cells is bitching about LEGAL immigration. I wish the media would get that straight. But noooooooooo.... they like to lump it all together in one group.

While we're at it, I'm not going to let the geezer group off the hook. I dare you to find legitimate, legal labor (and pay them a dignified wage as opposed to cash under the table) to mow your lawn, paint your house, and change your depends. Put your money where your mouth is or shut the fuck up.
