Politics
Bob wakes up every morning at 6:00 a.m. and gets ready for work. He works construction and it is a very grueling job for which he gets paid a good wage. He didn't want to go college he just wanted to jump right into work and start working his way up the chain.
He works 5-6 days a week usually about 10 hours a day. Depending on when the current job needs to be done. He doesn't get to see his family as much as he would like but he is used to the schedule after many years. His wife works at a retail store as a clerk for the extra income. They enjoy their life but financially they are not very comfortable.
Bob is starting to get more and more stressed with the current political/energy situation. To make things worse in his mind his small community has just aquired a couple new familys of what he beleives to be illegal immigrants.
Bob's son has just become of working age and is going out every day looking for a job. Due to the economic situation the company that Bob works for can't afford to hire him on at the moment.
With Bob's son having no luck at finding a job the stress continues to rise for the entire family. To make things even worse no longer than a week after the immigrant familys arrived they all have under the table jobs, doing all sorts of odd ball work.
When Bob's son cuts his leg while riding his bike, and Bob takes him to the emergency room one of the illegal familys is in the E.R. with the basic symptoms of a cold. The family gets treated and leaves with out ever receiving a bill.
Bob gets charged with a substantial bill for the stitches in his son's leg. Bob is now outraged. In his mind he is paying for that illegal family to get medicine and government assitance and all he is getting out of it is a lighter pay check.
When he speaks his mind of how he is upset he is told that he is not being politically correct and that the illegals have the same rights as everone else.
Bob just can't understand why he is the one that is paying for these illegal immigrants to live, get health care, and go to school. No one is paying for his health care, or living expenses.
To top things off the illegals have brought drugs into Bob's community that were never present before, and more and more illegal familys keep moving in.
What should Bob do?
