@GottaLaff@mastodon.social @willbunch@mastodon.social Thank you for posting the article, I can only access a few articles from the Inquirer a month. I subscribe to several newspapers & newsletters, but it's not enough.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social @willbunch@mastodon.social These 6 men were truly brave, hard-working men... May they rest in peace. "These six workers who perished were not poisoning the blood of our country, they were replenishing it."

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social @willbunch@mastodon.social Thanks Will. "In normal times, the deaths of these six migrants would serve as a tragic parable about how our American landscape was etched into existence by the big dreams, hard-earned sweat, and occasionally the sacrifice of each new generation of Maynor Suazos as they came from Ireland, then from Italy, then from Honduras and all over the globe. But these are not normal times. "

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social @willbunch@mastodon.social outstanding article. Thank you for posting it. Who do Americans think pick their vegetables, clean their toilets, take care of their elders , mow their lawns, build their houses…..it ain’t Americans.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social @willbunch@mastodon.social and the folks denigrating them? I always want to ask, where did your people come from? Were they fleeing famine and hardship? Didn’t your great gramma have a scarf on her head and struggle with English? Wasn’t her husband a day laborer in the time when European immigrants were last hired first fired? Didn’t they come here with nothing but hope and work themselves to death so you could prosper?

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social @willbunch@mastodon.social I see this sort of story as reactive to the DEI nonsense, and still essentially enabling the bad guys who want to keep us from talking about... Feds Recently Hit Cargo Giant In Baltimore Disaster For Silencing Whistleblowers Regulators cited Maersk for its “illegal policy” blocking employees from reporting safety concerns to the Coast Guard. https://www.levernews.com/feds-recently-hit-cargo-giant-in-baltimore-disaster-for-silencing-whistleblowers/

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social yes, excellent. total b.s. by the scoundrels in our country who take every opportunity when presented with anyone with brown or black skin to denigrate them without any idea of who they are or what menial labor they do to feed/clothe their families. I yield back my time.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social @willbunch@mastodon.social even if they had been so called illegal immigrants, they were human beings who deserved to be treated as such.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social and isn't it fascinating that immigrant families are starting new businesses at twice the rate of the general population. I am sorry for those families who lost their fathers. And brothers.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social @willbunch@mastodon.social The USA is a nation of immigrants, and as a dual national with US citizenship I'm an example of that. It's also, lately, a nation of hypocrites, as is the UK/France and every other western democracy crying 'too much immigration!' The loathsome orange guy himself owes his own existence as an American to his grandfather having dodged the draft and then having gotten banished from Bavaria.
