Thanks also for your very kind words here on your blog.<br /><br />Chloe and I had a lot of fun putting together the "Hot Tub episode" and we will be posting highlights of it at PINKessense.com for those who missed it. We're also working on lots of exciting new ideas and locations for future webcasts, so please stay tuned to PE TV! <br /><br />~Lana :)<br />PINKessenceLana Moorehttp://pinkessence.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667585281200430600.post-43083232283301729402010-08-03T10:09:59.947-07:002010-08-03T10:09:59.947-07:00No offense taken, and I appreciate your perspectiv...No offense taken, and I appreciate your perspective. I like to think that each of us has enough respect for one another to recognize different viewpoints and to express that without resorting to name calling. <br /><br />This is a complex subject. I think the point that I and others who are concerned about the precedent that SB1070 sets is that this is far more complicated than just some one-size-fits-all "law" that targets people who look or act different, or who don't have documentation.<br /><br />There needs to be some middle ground, and building a fence around the state or passing these kinds of laws is not that middle ground. <br /><br />You ask if I've ever had to worry about being replaced by an illegal immigrant. I don't think so. But in that context what's the difference between that and being replaced by an offshore worker in India who does the same work I do but gets paid 20% of what the same skills earn in this country? The end result is the same - US workers losing jobs to cheaper alternatives. What's the answer - passing laws? <br /><br />As I say - I appreciate your input and hope we can agree that this issue isn't as simple as just rounding up "foreigners" and kicking them out of the country.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695864068826692539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667585281200430600.post-54663840451159669712010-08-03T09:32:14.132-07:002010-08-03T09:32:14.132-07:00No offense, but you like many people keep forgett...No offense, but you like many people keep forgetting the word "illegal" when describing these folks. Immigrants LEGALLY emigrate to another country, not break a law in order to emigrate to another country.<br /><br />In addition, I know you are very smart, are well educated and are prominent in the computers field. What about your fellow citizens who aren't as smart or educated and are lower-income and blue collar? Many of these people actually have to compete against illegal immigrants for jobs and lose out every time. <br /><br />What legal American citizen or immigrant will do landscaping for $4.00 under the table when the minimum wage is almost twice that? Would you? <br /><br />Have you ever had to worry about being replaced by illegal immigrants to do work? I'd bet not. That is what is happening and has happened to many of us, particularly we who live in cities.<br /><br />Maybe if you were lower-middle class, you would think differently?<br /><br />Regardless, thanks for writing your blog and being a role model in many ways for many of us. I will never achieve what you have had in life, but that is okay. We all have different which we must make for ourselves.<br /><br />: )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
