It's not like you need one more opinion about the festering problems of illegal immigration, but it seems to be on everyone's mind, so I figure I'd weigh-in.
This weekend's and on-going pro-immigration demonstrations, well-organized and funded by anti-American Socialists, are obviously a wake-up call to all of America, especially to our do-nothing chicken-shit Congress. In this regard, the demonstrations were a good thing. Recall how my recent blog charges that they get away with doing nothing by blaming the other party? Well, here we go again. Listen to their spin. Both sides are full of shit.
This is one issue about which Congress should have the balls to stand up on and slap the President and his advisors upside their heads.
The sheer numbers of immigrants, most likely a good percent of which are illegal, turning out this weekend is enough to make every American realize just how many there are hiding in the woodwork. I can feel American's all over the country whispering "Wow, look how many there are already." And look indeed. Still and all, even if there are twenty million, it's far less than ten percent of our population. Why in hell's name do politicians cow-tow to less than 10% of the population when easily 80% of Americans want this problem dealt with firmly and swiftly by Congress and the President? Why!?
Who were all these people? How come they weren't working instead of protesting? Because most of them probably don't even really work anyway. They are here on the dole. It's obvious that America managed to function this weekend without these immigrant workers we hear so much about. Were they out there singing "God Bless America?" Were they praising us for giving them so much "free stuff" already? Did you hear any expressions of gratitude? No. These folks were out there waving Mexican flags to show how THEY not US are running things. The idea that we "need" them to do the work Americans don't want to do is such a pathetic ruse you have bought into. Let's face it, how the hell many Mexicans do we need to pick lettuce!? 10 million!? 20 million!? 30 million!???? There isn't that much goddam lettuce and strawberries and dirty dishes that need washing and lawns that need mowing and bricks that need mortar in the entire North American Continent much less the United States! Who the hell do you think picked the freaking lettuce before they did? Caucasians, that's who. And most of us would be willing to pay an extra 25% or even 50% more for lettuce so the farmers could pay legal people to do the picking so we can stop this problem. Who the hell eats that much lettuce anyway?
This protest is not about anything other than illegals wanting a guarantee that they can continue to rape our national systems... welfare, medical and education... until we are dried up... an outcome cheered on by the Socialists and Progressives in America who fund and organize these rallies. A dark force which wants nothing more than to hasten the demise of our culture and its conservative heritage.
Who's the real trouble-maker here though? It's the same group of liberal- progressive- socialist perverts who are causing all the other problems we have. The Mexican illegals, by sheer weight of numbers are overrunning this nation and draining its treasury. Listen up, Congress, illegals endlessly trying to flood across our borders has got to stop. IT'S ILLEGAL according to the very laws YOU already passed, you putzes! Helll-llo!
We are under assault. Aided by the Mexican government, drug dealers, Mexican-American politicians and pressure groups, and the ACLU, they flood through tunnels under the border, by sea, by air, over the desert, and in plain sight at the border crossings; running along freeways, over hill and dale. They are hidden in the most bizarre nooks and crannies of cars and trucks crossing the border into America. They bring drugs, guns, and they bring disease. We know about the drugs and guns but never hear about the disease which is spreading among this population and ergo to the rest of us.
Do you feel that rumbling in the ground? It's not an earthquake. It's our grandparents spinning in their graves. Our grandparents who had to cross an ocean to get here. Who came through Ellis Island and other ports of entry... legally! Our grandparents who had no social network to help them. Who received no free medical care, no education and certainly no goddam welfare. They didn't come here to "re-conquer" America. They came here to work and raise families in a country that didn't even give them much in the way of encouragement. And our parents, children of these immigrants, learned to speak English. Unlike today's illegal immigrants from below the border, our parents were embarrassed to speak their Mother tongues. And while they weren't all perfect, the number of trouble makers was far smaller than we see with today's children of immigrants.
We have enough of them here. Stop it now! Seal the borders, build the fences. Deploy the Guard if needed. Prosecute existing law. As the immigrants are fond of saying "It can be done."
We all need to keep pressuring Congress to stop being chicken-shits and get it done. Remember how I suggested we need to hold back our votes in order to threaten them? This is a perfect opportunity to let them know this. In order for them to pick up a small percentage of the Mexican-American vote, they stand to lose a MUCH larger percent of the American vote. This is a perfect opportunity for third-party candidates to enter the fray... this time with an issue which resonates with 80% of the American voters, legal Mexican-Americans included.
Congress, you spineless cucarachas, you've been warned!
