Ordering tubers?
What size tuber do you get? I ordered from a Dahlia "farm" and got 4 small ones about the size of my thumb-only one had eyes I could see. I ordered from a seed catalog--and got what I would call a large "hand" or "clump" of each kind. I planted both, and so far, there is no growth on the small ones, while the others are up fine.
do you think I should complain--or is this normal when ordering from a "speciality place"?
I'm hardly an expert to answer this; but from what I have found out "size doesn't matter." Each variety produces different size tubers and it has nothing to do with the quality or size of the plant. I ordered from one place this year and got some tubers the size of my fist; and others the size of a pencil. As long as they have an eye; they'll take off. Others...correct me if I'm wrong.
I agree with the above statement.
I have seen no difference in the size of the tubers (between the same varieties) and the size of the plant or quality of it. I have found the 'bulk' tubers that are pretty banged up actually can be seperated 3-6 times. So they send 3 clumps and I end up planting 8-12 seperate plants! They are pretty ratty looking but well worth a little nursing back to health.
Tuber sizes vary so from variety to variety: long and thin, fat like baking potatoes, short round, etc etc. I agree with the above too, and emphasize that any tubers you buy should have eyes if given time for them to pop. If they fail to show up, then it's time to contact the seller. Hopefully, they'll be accommodating.
Last year, as I pulled tomato seedlings sprung from the compost in the garden, I tugged up this little sprout, clearly a dahlia, which had apparently fallen from a parent clump during planting. It went on to grow to full size and even bloom.

Trivia, Quotes, Notes and Allusions
Quotes (14)
George: Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in!
Elaine: This whole sex thing is totally overrated. Now, the one thing you gotta be ready for is how the man changes into a completely different person five seconds after it's over. I mean, something happens to their personality. It's really quite astounding. It's like they committed a crime and they want to flee the scene before the police get there.
George: She's got a big crush on David Letterman, I mean a big crush. She talks about him all the time. Suppose I go up to David Letterman. He works at NBC, I work at NBC. I explain my situation. He agrees to meet her. They go out. They fall madly in love. And she dumps me for David Letterman!
(George just found out that Susan was fired) George: This is great! He fired her! This is incredible, he fired her. I'm out, baby! I'm out! Jerry: Why did he fire her? George: Because I kissed her in the meeting. Russell found out, he fired her over the phone. Finally, my stupidity pays off!
Elaine: Marla and I went out for coffee and afterwards I was crossing the street and he was biking right towards me. So I got out of the way just in time, but then he ran into a parked car. He hit his head and everything went flying. George: Something happened to the food?!!
George: Hey, what about this? I'm in a car accident. The motorist is uninsured, you with me? Jerry: Yeah. George: My car's totaled. It's all his fault and now, he has absolutely no money. There is no way that he can pay me. So the judge decrees that he becomes my butler.
George: I don't think I could do it. You know, they always remember the first time. I don't want to be remembered. I wanna be forgotten.
Jerry: This is your plan? George: No, no. I'm just thinking. Jerry: I don't think you are.
Notes (2)
Jane Leeves would be best known for her role in Frasier as Daphne Moon, in 1993.
Following the broadcast of this episode Michael Richards played Kramer on an episode of Mad About You. It starred Paul Reiser & Helen Hunt. In the episode called "The Apartment," Reiser must get rid of his old apartment, that it seems Kramer has been subletting from him. However, in the first episode of the seventh season, George and Susan are seen watching and commenting on an episode of Mad About You. See also the NOTE associated with "Good News, Bad News."
Trivia (3)
The TV Guide that Kramer reads is the Sept. 5, 1992 issue with Joan Lunden on the cover.
While George is in the hall talking to David Letterman, Jerry pitches the 'butler' premise to the NBC executives. Although George originally suggested that his character get the butler, Jerry pitches it that he gets the butler. The executives love it and George enters while everyone is laughing. George then says quietly to Jerry, "I thought I was getting the butler." How does he know that Jerry switched it? He was out of the room at the time.
When Jerry tries to convince Marla to sleep with him he says about Elaine that she literally comes from a broken home because a tree once fell into the roof - but her parents got along beautiful. In 2-8 (The Jacket) Alton Benes asks Elaine "How's your mother" - which says that they did'nt get along as beautiful as mentioned.
Allusions (1)
George: Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in. George is misquoting Michael Corleone, Al Pacino's character from Godfather III. The actual quote is "Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in."

Credit: James GladerOver the years, musicals based on the hits of Carole King, Billy Joel, The Four Seasons and Motown have made their way to Broadway. Could the Eagles songbook be the next to hit the Great White Way? Maybe.
The New York Daily News reports that at a recent event in New York City, the Eagles' Glenn Frey said that he'd been spending a lot of time in the Big Apple lately. He then seemed to hint at an Eagles musical in the future, saying, "I'm going to see a lot of shows, so you never know." He also named the Carole King musical, Beautiful, as one of his favorites.
When asked if an Eagles musical would include all the fights the notoriously combative band has had over the years, Frey laughed and said, "Conversations. Give and take."
However, Frey may be jumping the gun a bit. When asked if an Eagles musical is actually in the works, a rep for the band told ABC Radio that there is "nothing to discuss at this time."
Meanwhile, the Eagles are hitting the road for another round of tour dates, starting May 19 in Austin, Texas. They have shows mapped out through the spring and summer, wrapping up July 29 in Bossier City, Louisiana.

I have an LG E610 L5 and was trying to update my CM11 9.1 to 9.3 (per the three-step instruction at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2519448). After installing the latest beta with CWM and all going smoothly, when the phone finally boots up the touchscreen doesn't seem to work. In other words, I can't get past the SIM lock.
Tried wiping cache, but it didn't help.
I had the same problem with TeamOPTIMA's CM port, but PecanCM's 9.1 was usable. Does anyone have any ideas what I could try to get it to work?
addendum edit: downgraded back to 9.1 backup, touchscreen works again. Either I do something wrong while updating (followed the instructions in the linked thread), some app is going haywire or my E610 has some strange issues with 9.3...

This review is from: Orico 6619US3-BK 5Gbps Super Speed USB3.0 to 2.5" & 3.5" SATA Hard Drive SSD / HDD Docking Station (Black)
Pros: Worked great when working. Did not try disks over 2TB.
Cons: Started disconnecting good disks after 6 months of lots of use. Thought it would go longer than 6 months (discs work on other SATA->USB converters).
Other Thoughts: I don't ever expect these things to last long seeming as every one I have had over the years has just worn out (poor capacitor problems??).READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band Wireless Gigabit Router (R7000)
Pros: - Does everything I need including walking my wife
- Great non-5Ghz WiFi range
- Good options including AP
Cons: - Doesn't pick up after my wife
- Can only order 1 at a time in a day
- Using AP mode does not allow the use of WPA2
Other Thoughts: Seriously, it doesn't do anything for my wife, nor does my wife know what these are. We have used these routers for several locations with our IT Consultation business and have had no problems at all. We have about 5 active Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 routers throughout the San Diego area that have replaced a range of random router models/manufacturers with another 11 on the way for a large client, which brings me to one point: Newegg, you just lost out on selling us 11 of these units because of your limit of "1 per customer." Very satisfied with everything you do, but we do not want to use an EID for Newegg Business, and ended up ordering on my personal A.Prime account for the same price, 11 units.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SIIG 2-Port RS232 Serial PCIe with 16950 UART Model JJ-E02111-S1
Pros: - Clean install
- Been working for several months straight
- No connection issues
- Low profile
Cons: - Pricier than other rs-232 cards
Other Thoughts: I can't take any eggs off for being expensive because this card seems to beat all other cards and in a business environment, cutting corners on quality and connection hurts us in the end. Installed in a customer's new system that needs an RS-232 bar code scanner connection to work (dumb program accepts USB scanner connections in every one of its applications EXCEPT ONE!).
Dealing with robotics applications in the biotech industry and fighting with manufacturers and developers to STOP USING RS-232 connections has led to some extensive use of USB->RS-232 and add-in cards. This OXPCIe952 chipset seems to work great and I will be purchasing more as we replace outdated computers that still require RS-232.
As an IT professional, my actual tech level in RS-232 is average at best (at least I know what a null and straight serial cable are!). Commands and development using this protocol are beyond me.

Excerpt from Writing Tools 297
Posted September 28, 2011
I gravitate towards books on writing and grammar in the hope that I'll become a better writer and reduce the tension and procrastination that often characterize a major deadline. Unfortunately, while I tend to be optimistic about improving my writing, much as I tend to look for the latest fitness books in the hope that this will encourage me to "be more disciplined and healthier", my follow through often falls short.
If you write and have reached the point where you feel ready to show your work to friends and critics, I know that you will benefit from the advice that Roy Clark offers above.
If you are still "working on" your writing, Help! For Writers provides practical advice and a technical approach to writing and thinking about writing. When writing and editing, we try to pare our language down to the essentials, much the way that artists, creatives, and even lawyers reduce their ideas to the essential elements. Clark suggests specific ways to do this, to reduce the unnecessary parts.
I'm a timid writer. I tend towards putting things away, disappointed by the first draft. But chapter 11 "My early drafts are littered with cliches" helped me put things in perspective. The advice encourages us to realize that even mistakes and weaknesses can be used to bring us closer to our writing goals. Clark encourages clear thinking and careful use of language directly and through his tips and exercises.
While some books target a specific goal, such as writing a screenplay or a novel in several steps or using certain structures, Help! For Writers points out that "the writer does not have to get all Gothic to build cathedrals of words. On many occasions, the holy trinity of beginning, middle, and end will get the job done." Clark has gentle suggestions to help look at our problems and roadblocks and learn from them. Clark gives us examples from other writers which made the concepts concrete. Help! For Writers encourages us to write and gives specific and practical advice geared towards getting us to keep writing and to become better writers.

Help! For Writers is just that. I was hoping to learn something new and get me motivated to write again (it's been awhile) and this book has some motivational tools and suggestions not only for those who have writer's block, but those who procrastinate (me). It also gives ideas on how to find your ideas. At first, I thought it was a book to help those who write magazine articles, but it is so much more. I believe this book will be dog-eared and used over and over by many writers.

Leo's best match is Leo, as Leos are strong willed and love to be the center of attention. Leos are also extremely charming and charismatic, and they are known for their big hearts. Two Leos together make a wonderful match, as they work hard to care for and nurture one another, and their love for life and one another shines through in every aspect of their relationship.
Leo's second best match is Sagittarius. Leo and Sagittarius are both fire signs, and Sagittarius men are immediately drawn to the outgoing personality and good looks of a Leo woman. One negative aspect of the Sagittarius and Leo match is that Leos are known for dramatic, over-the-top reactions and jealousy issues. Sagittarius is an extremely independent sign, and they are known to have wandering eyes. The combination often leads to jealousy and fights.
Leo and Cancer are not a good match, as Cancer is an emotional sign and many Leos simply do not have the patience to deal with their mood swings. Leo and Scorpio do not mesh well either, as Scorpios are known for their mean streaks, a personality trait that Leos cannot stand.
While the astrological signs are quite telling when it comes to individual personalities, this does not mean that certain signs should absolutely stay away from one another if they are not astrologically compatible. Astrological signs are a mere aspect of the individual personality, and it is definitely possible for opposites to attract.

Elton John performed at Bonnaroo.
Photo: Associated Press,
A half-dozen cool things in music, from two points of view:
Elton John, Bonnaroo. His first American festival, outdoors, does it get any better than that? With a crowd of close to 100,000 people singing "Rocket Man" together to the beautiful tribute Sir Elton paid to Casey Kasem, there was hardly room for a frown in the group.
Hip hop at Bonnaroo. With a performance that felt more like a lecture than a make-up show for his 2008 disaster here, Kanye West hardly gave Bonnaroovians the apology they were looking for, though his show was nothing short of the spectacle everyone assumed it would be. Chance the Rapper, Wiz Khalifa and Ice Cube definitely took the cake in the hip-hop department.
Flaming Lips, Bonnaroo. From the mass amounts of confetti that poured during the encore to the sing-along covers, it was hard not to claim this as one of the most extravagant, beautiful and best performances I've seen.

RIP Teenie Hodges. The guitarist was the groovemaster (and often co-writer) behind many of Al Green's classics, including "Love and Happiness" and "Take Me to the River," as well as records by Syl Johnson, O.V. Wright and Ann Peebles ("I Can't Stand the Rain"). Hodges was essential to Memphis soul in the 1970s.
Liv Warfield, Paisley Park. One of Prince's backup singers who has launched a solo career, she showed an explosive, gospel-infused voice and a commanding, arm-shaking stage presence. She also is strikingly creative, as evidenced on a terrific a cappella arrangement of Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" for three female voices, and a sound that sets her apart, sort of a funk-rock stomp with powerhouse vocals. Think a more robust Annie Lennox, with much more church.
Cesar Rosas, Minnesota Zoo. While Los Lobos' frontman David Hidalgo seemed to be having problems with his voice, fellow singer/guitarist Rosas had fire in his belly, voice and guitar. The usually laconic and laid-back Rosas became the spirit of the band on Hidalgo's off night.

2012 KIA Soul 0-60-0 MPH Performance Test
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 KIA Soul with the 2.0L is certainly no
hot rod. It's more of a funky and a bit boxy people (or it it hamster)

Classic Revealed: Is the 1969 Citroen DS 21 the most beautiful car of all time?
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 1969 Citroen DS 21 is perhaps the ultimate
French luxury car. It represents the best (and some would say worst) of
French Automotive technology, design and research and development. Think of
it as France's automotive equivalent of sending a man to the moon.
Here a short list just some of the unique features that 1969 Citroen DS 21
helped pioneer:
Adjustable and self-leveling suspension that allows the car to drive on
only three wheels an can raise and lower the car from 3 to 14 inches
- Headlights that steer up to 80 degrees
- Aerodynamic futuristic body design
- Hydraulic suspension, clutch and even transmission
This just a short list of features that make the Citroen DS such iconic
car. In fact many would say the Citroen DS features the world's most
influential auto design. It was named the most beautiful car of all time by
the prestigious Classic and Sports car Magazine.
Check out the this video as we show you what makes the 1969 Citroen DS 21
such an iconic car.

2012 Infiniti G37 IPL Drive & Review
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Infiniti G37 IPL is premium sports coupe
in a filled with great German cars. Love it or hate it...there are very
few people on the fence when it comes to the Infiniti's fluid styling.
Unlike the German rivals the Infiniti is certainly not sculpted but rather
looks like something that comes out of a fluid mold. If you notice the
grill on the front of the car. Those silver horizontal slats are supposed
to look like Japaneses Samurai swords turned on their side facing you.
The car is fast...in fact very fast. But has to be as it competes with cars
like the BMW 3 series coupe and the Audi A5 coupe both of which also are
spirited performers. But unlike the BMW and Audi the Infiniti does not
offer a turbo option...which today is
all the rage.
Ride and Handling: In a word "sporty" the car is set up to go around curves
quickly and that comes at small price. The cost? Firm (read verging on
harsh) ride across bumps and expansion joints.
In this review Dave Erickson drives the Infiniti through rain and snow to
get the scoop on this premium luxury sports coupe.

2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Test Drive & Car Review
http://www.autobytel.com/mitsubishi/lancer/2012/?id=32972 What's so great
about the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer? Well first off this car has the same
aggressive look and stance as its more expensive older brother; the
Evolution. The Lancer also has a base price of under $16,000. Next the
Lancer gets excellent fuel economy. Another cool thing about this car is
you can opt for Mitsubishi's famous AWD system.
So the base model 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer is powered by a 2.0 liter
4-cylinder engine that makes 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft. of
torque. This is also the engine that gets 25 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on
the highway. The mid-level GT model has a larger 2.4 liter engine that
makes 168 horsepower and 167 lb-ft. of
torque. This car costs a bit more and get slightly less fuel economy
figures. But the GT does come loaded with a ton of great features and
The real shining star of the line-up is the Lancer Ralliart AWD edition.
This car features a wagon design called the Sportback. Besides looking
ultra cool, the Ralliart features a turbocharged power plant and paddle shifters. The
engine is basically the same turbocharged MIVEC motor as the Evo just detuned a
bit. There is still plenty of power as the Lancer Ralliart produces 237 horsepower and 253
lb-ft. of torque.

2014 Mitsubishi Lancer SE AWC Test Drive & 4WD Car Video Review
http://www.autobytel.com/mitsubishi/lancer/2014/?id=32972 The Mitsubishi
Lancer is one of the few compact cars that offers a 4WD operating system.
The Lancer's AWC (All-Wheel Control) system delivers power to the wheels
for maximum grip in the worst road conditions. This compact car is perfect
for those who live in a climate with harsh winters. While the regular 2WD
Lancer starts at $17,195; the SE model with the AWC 4WD system has a base
price of $20,695.
In the market for an AWD vehicle but not keen on the idea of buying a
crossover or SUV? The 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer SE is one of the most
affordable AWD vehicles sold in America Today. The Lancer Compact Sedan is
available in 5 different trim levels including ES, SE, GT, Ralliart, and
EVO. But it's the SE that is exclusively equipped with Mitsubishi's AWC
system. The engine is a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder MIVEC unit that makes 168 horsepower and 167
lb-ft. of torque. The CVT transmission helps the Lancer SE net 22 MPG in
the city and 29 MPG on the highway. The All-Wheel Control System can be set
to 2WD, 4WD, and 4WD Lock for the slipperiest of conditions.
The 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer SE is really built for the cold weather states
and besides the 4WD system the car comes with 2-level heated seats and
heated side mirrors. The interior is only available in black cloth. There
is an additional All-Weather package for $685 that adds a Remote Engine
Starter, All Weather Floor Mats, and Rear Mudguards. The test car seen here
was also equipped with the $1450 Premium Package consisting of a leather
wrapped steering wheel, upgraded dash, a sunroof, and a 700 Watt
Rockford/Fosgate sound system. The 10 year/100k mile warranty is the best
in the business.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Chevy's priorities clear in Glass case
He won't pay above player's market value
With each move Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff makes, we're learning more and more about his management style.
He's building a template that signals what might happen in most player negotiations.
In the case of Tanner Glass, unless the player decides to drop his asking price, it's beginning to look like he'll be going to market July 1.
Glass says he doesn't want to leave Winnipeg, but quickly adds he'll need the right deal to stay. What he believes is the right deal and what the Jets think it is appear very different right now.
Agent Ross Gurney told the Free Press Wednesday negotiations with the Jets had just begun.
"We've had preliminary discussions only," Gurney said via email. "We're a long prairie mile apart."
That can mean only one thing: Cheveldayoff has offered much less than Glass wants to be paid.
The GM recently told me: "We're not about leverage. We're about negotiating from a position of what's fair."
Glass made $750,000 last season, up from the $625,000 the Vancouver Canucks paid him the year before.
He'll want a raise. He had his best season as a pro last year, scoring five goals and 11 assists while being used in an expanded role on the team's third line with centre Jim Slater and Chris Thorburn.
Slater signed a new deal Wednesday that will pay him $1.6 million per season for the next three years. Thorburn has two years left on his contract and is slated to make $866,667 a season.
Somewhere in the middle of those two salaries is where Glass will land. No one will dispute that Slater is more valuable, being a centre and a player with more offensive upside. Slater is a third-line player on many teams.
Glass fits in much closer to Thorburn than he does to Slater. Both were slightly over-jobbed in third-line roles last season and are viewed as classic fourth-liners.
They're not going to score very often, as their numbers indicate, but they will hit and fight and show up with consistent efforts every night. They're valuable to a team and important, but GMs don't overpay for their services because of the glut of players capable of filling these jobs.
Try finding a consistent 30-goal scorer in today's game. It's not very easy, so there is a premium on such talents. The same can't be said of a five-goal man.
Cheveldayoff can't overspend on the bottom six and hamper his ability to pay for goals, so he'll make an offer, albeit one within his personal view of the player's market value.
The Jets won't chase the market. They'll establish their budget for a player or position and act off that platform.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
10 May 2013 09:56 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Israel, Lebanon, Syria
The head of Hezbollah has said he is ready to receive "game-changing" weapons from Syria, which has long been a conduit for Iranian weapons bound for the Lebanese armed group.
Hassan Nasrallah, in an address televised to an audience in Beirut on Thursday as a security precaution, said the shipments of new types of weapons would serve as the Syrian reaction to Israel's air strikes.
His speech, marking the 25th anniversary of the founding of Hezbollah's radio station Al-Nour, comes just days after Israeli air raids on Damascus reportedly targeted shipments of advanced Iranian weapons bound for the group.
Western and Israeli sources said the aim of Sunday's air attacks was to take out "game-changing" Iranian missiles destined for Hezbollah, which fought a war with Israel in 2006 and is a staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Live Box 20117693233259422
"The resistance [against Israel] is prepared to accept any sophisticated weaponry even if it was to break the equilibrium [in the region]," Nasrallah said in his speech.
"We are worthy of having such weapons and we would use them to defend our people and our country and our holy sites."
Later on Thursday, Chuck Hagel, US defence secretary, said the US remained committed to protecting Israel.
"Israel's security is further enhanced by America's defence cooperation with other regional partners," he said in Washington.
"In my consultations with Israeli leadership, I emphasised that strong US security relationships with Arab nations - including Egypt and Jordan, and our partners in the Gulf - are not only in our strategic interests, they are also in Israel's security interests."
Fierce border clashes
In recent weeks, Nasrallah has acknowledged that Hezbollah fighters are backing Syrian troops fight rebels trying to topple Assad.
And as he spoke on Thursday, opposition activists and military sources reported fierce clashes between rebels and fighters loyal to Assad raged around the rebel-held town of Qusayr near the borders with Lebanon.
Backed by Hezbollah fighters, the Assad government launched an intensified bid last month to retake the town, strategically located just south of Syria's third city, Homs, which lies on the road linking Damascus to the coast.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
An army officer told AFP news agency on Thursday that the military seized control of a village just outside Qusayr.
"The Syrian army seized back control of Shumariyeh in the Qusayr countryside, and troops are currently on their way to the village of Ghassaniyeh" which has been under rebel control for more than a year, the officer said.
Qusayr fell out of regime control more than a year ago, but has faced daily shelling and frequent aerial bombardment.
The UN presence in the Golan Heights on the Syrian-Israeli border has also been challenged in recent months.
In the latest incident, four peacekeepers from the Philippine battalion were abducted on Tuesday in the so-called Area of Limitation between Syria and Israel.
Albert del Rosario, Philippine foreign affairs secretary, said on Friday he wanted all Filipino peacekeepers pulled out of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights as soon as possible.
Del Rosario said he would make the recommendation to Benigno Aquino, Philippine president, to withdraw the more than 300 troops, and it was up to him to make the decision.
"As soon as he says go, we will undertake to do that as soon as possible," del Rosario said.
"The people that abducted our peacekeepers were actually under siege and they are using our people to get themselves out of the situation they find themselves in. That thing is not for us."

Immigration & Immigrants in US History By the Stony Brook University Social Justice Alliance – www.sbusja.com The United States has always been a country of immigrants, most of whom have been ―undocumented.‖ From the English settlers who landed at Jamestown in 1607 to find millions of Native Americans already living in North America, to the Salvadoran workers and families who arrived just yesterday, the nation's history has been one of successive waves of immigration. Why, then, is there such resentment and fear about ―illegal immigration‖ in our time? Why do so many US citizens get so angry about immigrants? That resentment is nothing new. In fact, most immigrants—especially non-white immigrants— have encountered intense hostility upon arriving in the country. In the nineteenth century, the Irish and Italians (who today are considered ―white,‖ but weren't back then) were scorned, harassed, and even physically attacked by those who accused them of coming to take ―their‖ jobs, use ―their‖ resources, and commit crimes. The Chinese had it even worse: they suffered segregation and intense racism, and in 1882—the year of the first federal anti-immigrant law in the US—they were legally prohibited from entering the US altogether. Almost all non-whites were barred from entering by the 1924 Johnson Immigration Act, which Congress passed amidst a wave of anti-immigrant and anti-socialist hysteria. When immigrants have been welcomed in, they have usually been allowed to enter only in order to serve as a cheap labor source. Hundreds or thousands of Chinese, Irish, and other foreign laborers died while building the country's railroads in http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2009/06/21/ the nineteenth century, while almost all lived in poverty and worked for miserable wages. Since the mid-twentieth century, wealthy capitalists in the US have looked increasingly to Latin American immigrants for farm labor, janitorial work, and other low-wage jobs. Agro-industrialists convinced the government to start the famous bracero program (1942-1964) so they would have Photo by Michael Rougier/Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images access to cheap Mexican labor on their farms (right). When they had completed their labor, though, the workers were forced to go back to Mexico. And they were of course still subjected to constant discrimination (back then, racists referred to Mexicans as ―greasers‖ and ―wetbacks‖; every era, it seems, has its own vocabulary of racism and exclusion). Mexicans in particular have long been a target of anti- immigrant sentiment. Today, border vigilantes and security agents routinely guard the US-Mexico border with loaded guns, ready to murder anyone they see trying to cross the border illegally. (Mexicans have in fact lived in what is now the southwestern United States longer than people of European descent. Between 1836 and 1854 the US seized about half of Mexico's territory to form California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and parts of several other states. Yet such facts usually go unmentioned in the ongoing debate over immigration.) Also unmentioned is the systematic removal and extermination of North America's indigenous population, a process that culminated only a little over a century ago. According to the popular nineteenth-century doctrine of ―Manifest Destiny,‖ white people in the United States were chosen by God to expand their nation westward, ―from sea to shining sea.‖ This doctrine served as a thinly-veiled justification for a ruthless campaign against American Indian populations that often amounted to outright genocide. After the Civil War, official US policy 1 consisted of confining all Indian populations on ever-smaller reservations, forcing them to live in miserable conditions while white US settlers hungrily stole their land and natural resources. Numerous societies like the Cherokees, Navajos, Sioux, Cheyennes, Arapahos, Utes, Apaches— all fell victim to repeated broken treaties, frequent massacres, and vicious racism. This sad history is one of incredible brutality and hypocrisy on the part of the US government and business entrepreneurs. Most of the Indians left in the US today still live in terrible poverty. But although we might prefer to forget it, almost all of us who live in today's United States have profited from this history. Remembering such facts might make us think twice before claiming that we have the right to be here while those born outside US borders do not. Forms of Resistance Historically immigrants have resisted discrimination and Photo by Cris Sánchez, 1973 exploitation in a variety of ways. Perhaps the most common way has been to form labor unions to fight for their rights in the workplace. In the 1960s and 1970s, thousands of Latino farm laborers formed the United Farm Workers union (UFW), and launched successful boycotts against a number of fruit companies in order to obtain livable wages and working conditions. Today those workers, including leaders like Dolores Huerta (right) and César Chávez (below, left) are revered by millions of people around the country. These struggles have not ended, however. Organizations like the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) in Florida continue to fight for the basic human rights and dignity of poorly-paid immigrant laborers. http://rogerhollander.wordpress.com/2009/03/31/happy-birthday-cesar-chavez/ Another immigrant strategy has been military enlistment. Throughout modern US history, immigrants and blacks have enlisted in the military thinking that military service would earn them respect and equality. This strategy may have worked for some, but many others have come to realize that the politicians and industrialists who send them to war see them as nothing more than cannon fodder in the quest to dominate other countries and their resources. Camilo Mejía (below, right), a Nicaraguan immigrant who enlisted in the US Army at age 19, says www.miamibeach411.com; Photo by Carlos Miller that his views of war and the military ―changed radically‖ after several years in the Army. He came to feel that the military ―preyed on the vulnerability of people, exploiting their lack of options to get them to sign up, and subsequently tied them into service with the promise of benefits.‖ In 2004 Mejía refused to re-deploy to Iraq, saying that the war was ―just for oil or money and geopolitical position for the empire,‖ and is now a famous activist against war and militarism. Why Do Immigrants Come Here? In recent decades the immigrant population of the United States has skyrocketed. Between 1970 and 2000 the number of Mexican immigrants living in the US increased from 800,000 to almost eight million. Yet in the newspapers there is rarely much discussion of why foreigners leave their homes and come to the US in the first place. 2 Personal reasons vary, of course, but some general trends are apparent. The recent acceleration in Latino immigration to the US corresponds quite closely with the implementation of neoliberal economic policies during the last thirty years. Neoliberalism refers to a set of economic policies adopted almost everywhere, but particularly in Latin America, since the 1970s, usually at the behest of the United States and international financial institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. These institutions, in cooperation with ruling elites in Latin America, have required the following policies: 1. Reductions in government spending on education, health care, and other public services, and the privatization of many of those services—meaning that basic goods (even water) have been sold to private companies, which are then free to raise prices and deny service to poor areas 2. The liberalization of markets, meaning that cheap goods from wealthy nations like the US pour into poorer countries and devastate farmers and small businesses who cannot compete with the lower prices (lower prices and more consumer goods may seem like a good idea, but these policies have hurt millions of people) 3. Tax breaks, subsidies, and other forms of assistance—including lax labor and environmental laws—in order to attract foreign corporations who come to set up sweatshops and other businesses in Latin America, even though those corporations tend to repatriate, or take away, almost all of their profits rather than reinvesting money in the local economy 4. An emphasis on providing cheap labor for the textile, mining, and other export industries—rather than investing in education, industrial development, and production for the domestic consumer market These policies have led to greater poverty and inequality all around the world (except for a very small fraction of the world's population, which has benefited quite nicely). The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) among the US, Canada, and Mexico, in place since 1994, is a particularly notorious example of neoliberalism. Despite promises of increased job opportunities for Mexicans, the rate of employment actually declined 9.4 percent due mainly to the loss of jobs in small- and medium-sized businesses. Despite promises of lower prices for the consumer, the retail price of basic necessities rose by 257 percent in NAFTA's first eight years. The effects on the rural sector have been particularly devastating, due to the flood of http://www.solidarity-us.org/images/immigration.jpg cheap imported corn from the US which has ruined many small farmers. The overall poverty rate in Mexico climbed by almost 20 percent between 1994 and 2000, with rural poverty reaching 86 percent. NAFTA is not the only cause of Mexico's economic woes, but it has exacerbated them and undoubtedly led to more emigration. (For more on the effects of NAFTA, see www.epi.org.) Over the past century (especially), the policies of the ―advanced‖ countries have had a very negative impact on economic development and well-being in the so-called Third World. In short, the rich countries have reaped the enormous benefits of cheap land, labor, and resources from the Third World, while at the same time impeding (and often formally restricting) economic development there. The exploitation of labor, goods, and resources from poorer and technologically-disadvantaged nations has brought benefits to us all. For example, consumers in industrialized nations who buy foreign-made products (i.e., all of us) benefit from the cheaper prices that are possible in part because workers overseas are paid so little, and often also derive a psychological benefit from feelings of superiority in relation to immigrants 3 and foreigners. From this observation, one could reasonably conclude that we owe poor laborers in Mexico at least as much as they owe us. But at the same time, workers in the US and Latin America share many common interests. The real beneficiaries of ―free trade,‖ corporate globalization, and anti-immigrant hysteria are not the average person in the US, but the rich and powerful who watch their profits soar as both US and foreign laborers suffer declining wages, working conditions, and job security. Ordinary people in both Mexico and the United States have been hurt by NAFTA. By 2003 almost 900,000 U.S. workers had lost their jobs since NAFTA began. For many of the workers who have not lost their jobs to outsourcing, the threat of job loss has become increasingly pervasive. Of course, workers with a low sense of job security are far less likely to organize and make demands upon their employers. As noted above, the results for the Mexican workforce have been even more disastrous. NAFTA is one of the clearest examples of how powerful corporations try to manipulate national labor forces by playing them against each other. The results are unprecedented profits for big business and a noticeable decline in the average living standards of working people in all countries involved. The capitalist class in the United States has historically had remarkable success in preventing the development of class consciousness among workers and immigrants, particularly in recent decades as the labor movement has declined. From 2001 to 2006 corporate profits in the US rose 123 percent, while as journalist Jack Rasmus notes, ―the real median take home pay of the American worker is around $1 an hour less today than in 1982.‖ The border vigilantes with their shotguns are understandably angry over their decline in living conditions and the increased economic uncertainty of recent years. They have been squeezed and exploited by those at the top for a long time now. But while anti-immigrant attitudes among whites in the US may be a reflection of this frustration, they only promote greater inequality and exploitation for all workers while obscuring the real causes and culprits of that exploitation. Directing that anger against immigrants only serves the interests of those who are actually to blame for economic oppression. As historian Rodolfo Acuña has pointed out, ―it is not Mexican labor that limits the number of jobs for domestic labor or depresses wages, but the owners of production, who profit from playing them off against each other.‖ Only when immigrants and the native-born unite will http://www.yvonnegraphy.com/wp-content/ we be able to build a strong movement for peace, uploads/2008/04/equalrightsmay1st2.gif justice, and human understanding in this country. These groups may not have precisely the same interests and concerns, but do share enough in common to participate in a common struggle. Working together to end prejudice and discrimination is the only course of action that makes sense. And after all, we are all immigrants or the descendants of immigrants.
