I don't know how everybody else feels about it but Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally, made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations.
I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the United States of America, as it is a truly wonderful place. But, when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal, it is flat out wrong and I don't care how many la-la land left-heads come out of the woodwork and start trying to give me sensitivity lessons.
I don't need sensitivity lessons. I don't have anything against Mexicans. I just have something against criminals and anybody who comes into this country illegally is a criminal. If you don't believe it, try coming into America from a foreign country without a passport and see how far you get.
What disturbs me about the demonstrations is that it's tantamount to saying, "I am going to come into your country even if it means breaking your laws and there's nothing you can do about it." It's an in-your-face act and I don't like it one little bit and, if there were a half dozen pairs of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas, it wouldn't be happening.
Where are you, you bunch of lily-livered, pantywaist, forked tongued, sorry excuses for "defenders of The Constitution?" Have you been drinking the water out of the Potomac again? And, even if you pass a bill on immigration, it will probably be so pork-laden and watered down it won't mean anything anyway Besides, what good is another law going to do when you won't enforce the laws on the books now?
And what ever happened to the polls, guys? I thought you folks were the quintessential finger-wetters. Well, you sure ain't paying any attention to the polls this time because 80% of Americans want something done about this mess it's getting worse every day.
This is no longer a problem. It is a dilemma, headed for becoming a tragedy. Do you honestly think that what happened in France with the Muslims can't happen here? Wait until the businesses who hire these people finally run out of jobs and a few million disillusioned Hispanics take to the streets?
If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators, knuckle under on this and fail to do something meaningful, it means you care nothing for the kind of country your children and grand-children will inherit. But I guess that doesn't matter to you, as long as you get re-elected.
Shame on you.
One of the biggest problems in America today is that, if you have the nerve to say anything derogatory about any group of people (except Christians), you are going to be screamed at by the media and called a racist, a bigot and anything else they can think of to call you. Well, I've been pounded by the media before and I'm still rockin' and rollin' and, when it comes to speaking the truth, I fear not.
And the truth is that our gutless, gonadless, milksop politicians are selling out the United States of America because they don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to face reality.
And the reality is that we would never allow any other group of people to have 12 million illegal in this country and turn around and say, "Oh it's OK. Ya'll can stay here if you'll just allow us to slap your wrist."
Some of you who read this are saying "Well what's wrong with that?" I'll tell you what's wrong with it. These people could be from Mars, as far as we know. We don't know who they are, where they are or what they're up to and, the way the Congress is going we're not going to know.
Does this make sense at all? "Labor force" you say? We already subsidize corporate agriculture as it is. Must we subsidize their labor as well? If these people were from Haiti, would we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them or, if they were from Somalia or A fghanistan ? I think not.
All the media show us are pictures of hard working Hispanics who have crossed the border just to try to better their life. They don't show you pictures of the Feds rounding up members of MS-13, the violent gang who came across the same way the decent folks did They don't tell you about the living conditions of the Mexican illegals some fat cat hired to pick his crop.
I'll make two predictions:
1: This situation will grow and fester until it erupts in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of political hay they can make.
2: Somebody is going to cross that border with a weapon of mass destruction and set it off in a major American city, after which there will be a backlash such as this country has never experienced, and the Capitol building in Washington will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the other side of the issue.
I'd love to see just one major politician stand up and say, "I don't care who I make mad and I don't care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation and I'm going to lead the fight to get it straightened out."
I don't blame anybody for wanting to come to America but, if you don't respect our immigration laws why should you respect any others?
And, by the way, this is America and our flag has stars and stripes Please get that other one out of my face.
God Bless America.
