"... big world, the thing i most fear , is a white man with a golf shirt with a cellphone in his ear." How about the illegal gang thugs terrorizing innocent families or the Medicaid crisis caused by illegals. The deterioration of the inner city schools caused by the influx of illegals? African Amer union workers and contractors losing jobs to illegals? Trite lyrics about a white man in a golf shirt. You used to be real Tom. Blue Wing, The Pugilist at 59, Cielo. This song is a piece of S??T

Tom Russell is certainly NOT a lighweight singer OR songwrite but.. this song kinda rubbed me the wrong way. I wish musicians of this man's caliber would stay completely OUT of politics. It hurts his mistique.

What a lightweight. Easy shots. Predictable lyrics. Yawn.

I see... so uh, how did those jobs get done before the invention of the Mexican?
Please stand by while "HellinDC" attempts to free himself from brainlock...
But even if what you say is true (and it ain't) it still makes no sense. Do you think if I went down to Brazil and washed a few dishes and mowed a few lawns they would give me citizenship if I demanded it? The companies who hire the illegal laborers might owe them something but my government doesn't... Understand? Hope so.

Well, you see, SteelyMan, that you're trying to close the barn door after the horse has already escaped. Goods, services, investment, just about everything can move back and forth except labor. There actually is a shortage of labor in many of the jobs these folks are taking. We need to all ban together to help all those working hard and getting paid crap get organized and get better treatment.
Oh, year. Tom, you got politics, whether you know it or not. (I think you do.)

come to ga and see the mexicans you fuck

Tom I respect you as an artist but you're an ass for writing this song. I guess you'd rather see our labor and tax laws undermined by a bunch of corporate lowlives? What about the American poor Tom? Where are they supposed to go for a job? Mexico?
Protest for the sake of protest is stupidity my friend... Pull your head out already, okay?

Corporate "fat cat" CEOs taking home tens of millions of dollars while workers, Mexian and other have seen real wages not increase in 35 years - 35 years of anti-labor conservative leadership.
Who invented Mexicans? What kind of question is that. The Southwest has as much Mexican culture as the NE has Irish and such. If you don't like it take your Yankee butts home.
The song is metaphoric and great music in any case.

Just say you do not get it - listen again all - it is Tom's song, the truth as he sees it - for me much of it, but not all speaks to me ....... Peace
