A DAY WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS IN MADRID

Imagine if Spain´s biggest worry, the immigrants, disappeared for a day..
So… no-one to pick the fruit and veg in the hot Andalucian sun for 1 centimo an hour;
No-one to break their backs delivering fruit and veg to the markets;
No-one to deliver fruit and veg to the bars and restaurants;
No-one to cook and wait on tables of demanding customers in the bars and restaurants;
SO, NO PRE-SIESTA LUNCH THEN!

No-one to take your spoilt kids to school;
No-one to look after incontinent granny during the day;
No-one to look after incontinent granny during the night;
No-one to clean your absolutely pristine house;
No-one to iron clothes for you that they will never afford ;

AND THESE ARE ORDINARY MIDDLE-CLASS HOUSEHOLDS!

No-one to have babies, and keep the working population stable;
No-one to buy houses and flats and keep the housing market buoyant/inflated;
No-one to buy cars and keep the market growing;
No-one to use public transport and keep it viable;

MADRID WOULD COLLAPSE!
(and any other city you care to mention...)
So... BE NICE TO FOREIGNERS!!!!!!

Unfortunately people don't consider that foreigners play an important part in the community and often the 'locals' are too far up themselves to stop and realise. This superior attitude is often handed down to the little princes and princesses and you see it when they are with their carers.
