They do all that and more, while earning less than Americans would demand to do the same work. Add insult to injury, too, in the person of Donald Trump.
In New York City, during this year's Gay Pride Parade, Mexicans showed up in yet another line of work—mercenary protesters.

Hmm, you don't Jewish at all. |
In an interview in the Times, one Heshie Freed, who identified himself as a member of the Jewish Political Action Committee (JPAC), explained that, "The rabbis said that the yeshiva boys shouldn't come out for this because of what they see at the parade."
Mexican immigrants are good stand-ins; they probably didn't even know what the signs said.
In fact, JPAC seems to be a phantom, one-man band, with no street address, and its leader, Heshie Freed, a crackpot that goes by various aliases.
Whatever. Heshie got his fifteen seconds of notice by the New York media.
Mexicans should not take this latest humiliation in silence, though. For next year's Cinco de Mayo, they ought to put together a mariachi band made up of Orthodox Jews, just to hear what "Cielito Lindo" sounds like in Yiddish.

Where we think those who oppose gay marriage should consider moving to Iran. Permanently.
Free speech can generate some strange bedfellows. Big money is having its effect on policy as it always has, sometimes in truly bizarre ways as you describe above but our freedom to roll that turtle over on its back for all to see is the cornerstone of our freedom to lead our lives in peace.

ReplyDeleteI;m so stunned by this disclosure that I'm speechless. A RARE thing!
