My friend and I were talking about the Swine Flu pandemic, epidemic whatever. The system always wants cheap labor and for the most part this has been done recently by undocumented immigrants mostly from Mexico. During that time the Border Patrol just couldn't get a hold of the border. It is because they really wanted people to come over to work for cheap but did raids to keep them intimidated ( don't want any more May 1st 2006's when millions of immigrants went into the streets). So now that the economy is down they step it up and actually don't want people to come into the country. I would not be surprised if this was Flu was used to promote racism and division among documented and undocumented workers and unemployed.
Another thing, US companies go into countries like Mexico and treat it like a garbage can. They pollute the waters, rivers and the air and treat the animals in such inhumane conditions that they develop diseases. Its like the swine's coming home to roast, only the working class is effected and not the wealthy.
This says something else about the economy. There is no shortage of people wanting to work but the economy is in the toilet, why. Because there are " too many" people willing to work and not enough people willing to buy it. Think of the potential of working people who are now unemployed. If we had a different system people could be working on building up environmental projects, hospitals, schools, growing food and doing other things to save humanity. Instead we have a system where people are dying from Swine Flu because they are poor.
