Got that right. People have to work and if only cheap jobs are available, they have to that what they can get. I enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Hello Jennifer - This is very true. You wrote with force but it was not overbearing. This will always continue. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy poetry soup.

A good reason NOT to let more illegals into the USA to work for dirt-cheap wages, drag down wages for all, and make the rich even richer. If the rich had to pay competitive wages for hard work, they'd be whistling a different tune. Democratic fat cats encourage undocumented workers: It fattens their wallets and reelects the politicians who are in their back pocket. Same as 110 years ago. Times change; people don't. Good monoku calling attention to the travesty, Jennifer. :) gw

so very sadly true, Jennifer. Congrats and it's good to see you today. I have been doing therapies so I just can't be here as often as I used to be!
