While the Haves Ship High Paying Jobs Overseas via NAFTA & CAFTA, Siphon Domestic Funds to Fund Satanic Wars Abroad, and have a Post 9-11 Draconian Police State with Public Enemies aka COPS (Criminals On Patrol) cracking down on any Protest of their Activities, the Haves (The Rich) are secretly doing something else.  The Haves (The Rich) are Blaming Immigrants for their Sins, and also expanding CIA Drones into their War on Immigrants as well as The National Guard.  How does this affect the Average Joe Six Pack?  Because Now CIA Drones and The National Guard are involved in DOMESTIC LAW ENFORCEMENT, and can be used not only against Immigrants but also against The Average Joe Six Packs.  What began after 9-11 with the so called War on Terror, has Expanded into Immigration, and will expand into Domestic Law Enforcement.  That's how it affects you.  Immigrants ARE PEOPLE TO.
