Finns hiding illegal immigrants
News today that hundreds of illegal immigrants may be living in Finland with the help of at least one local charity. They are people who are completely helpless, that have maybe been swindled by a smuggler who has taken all their money, and they are penniless, poor, and hungry, just waiting for some kind of help, which does not seem to be forthcoming from the appropraite authorities.
It is positive to see somebody ensuring that these poor individuals do not end up as human traffic or prostitution.
There are also reports that local Evangelical Lutheran parishes are rumoured to have a hand in hiding illegal immigrants - we just hope the immigrants aren’t being brainwashed into the ways of Martin Luther’s religion.

It’s a shame that Finns have to resort to illegal smuggling to save these people. Shouldn’t the state be taking in these refugees? A similar situation is happening in the US now with illegal Mexicans. There’d be no illegal immigration if there were easy ways to legally immigrate.

Ever heard of the wall they are building?
Same as with Berlin. The USA had this racist idea of creating the wall, and this is only the first step since there are enough racists that use force to stop mexicans from emigrating. If it wasn’t enough to almost starve to death by some really dangerous and abandoned areas the mexicans have to go through, when they arrive on the wron place in USA it is very possible that some cowboys just shoot at them.. maybe for fun, or what the hell do I know…
In fact the most dirty jobs are being done by mexicans if it’s not a mexican food restaurant, but the argument they are taking jobs from them is so stupid I can’t believe USA takes this serious! If mexican families decide to go to another country to clean shit! Then they have it really hard here in mexico to make such a decicion! Many are just hoping to come though alive and then to at least make a job where they get more than 5usd a day!
But the fact is.. the people who hire mexicans to work in USA, hire them because they are cheap or maybe in some cases the money worth. This means.. either a american does the cheap work, what most of them are just not willing to do, or a mexican will do it, so they don’t take jobs away since the mexicans have equal chances to starve to death in USA or in MEXICO, so no matter where they are if nobody cares enough they will no tonly starve from hunger, but from being shot and jailed for crossing the border.
A few months ago the mexican government released an unofficial “how to” pass “a border” where the border wasn’t defined, but it has the purpose of helping imigrants to travel in dangerous places where they have no food, water etc. In fact there are volunteers that fly with an airplane along the borders to find imigrands and throw them food and water. Of course all these actions have been condemned by USA because the mexican government and volunteers shouldn’t promote the illegal imigration to USA! So they prefer leaving all these people to their destiny instead of recognizing the real problem. There are enough jobs if only the moneymakers would concentrate more in making them available instead of looking how to get richer. Many computerized companies have the money to employ people, and there are no reasons to use computer in benefit of nobody else than the company. For example car companies haven’t made cars much cheaper because of computarization.. so somehow they are makeing too much money that I ask myself… where does this money go? Into Irak war maybe?
Anyways… for the future it will be interesting to see the world economics and a good example will be the mexican usa relationship, so when they start killing “officially” mexicans then you can say good night economy and world!
