I don’t know how else to express what I want to say about this without sounding like a racist but I’ll try to deliver this message in the hope that the contributors on this platform will hear me out and not rush to judgement. I can’t find a job online or otherwise that I can apply for in or around my town that doesn’t have a Bilingual or Spanish speaking ONLY as a job requirement! Once upon a time I was a proud assembly worker for a big American manufacturing company. This was a job I held down for almost 25 years before they decided lay everyone off and ship out our jobs over to Asia and Central America. Now, I find myself competing for those very same jobs back home. I can’t even apply because, get this, I don’t speak the language!! What’s happening in this country, particularly in the South? The overwhelming influx of legal and illegal immigration into these small blue collar towns is destroying the social economic fabric and balance of temperament that took so long to establish within these communities. I’m pissed that I can’t find a way to make a living and support my family in my own country. I’m in my fifties so learning a new language isn’t a reality for me. What else am I and other people like myself suffering quietly in idle supposed to do to find work?
