Immigrant Song(s)

Is it me, or has this immigration bill and all its debates just seem a euphemism for the underlying cause? I here-by rechristen this bill and all legislation by its true and rightful title, "The 2007 Anti-Mexican and Other Brown People Bill" (AMOBP for short, or just Anti Mexican)

Is that bad?

Lets cut the crap. This bill in all its guises is anti-Mexican to the core. Well, anti-"new" Mexican. I bet Bill Richardson would pitch a serious bitch if he heard that. Of all the people this bill will affect, it is the Mexicans and not by name, other brown people as well.

Stop denying it and face up to it! The truth will set you free!

This bill goes to limiting immigration and allowing those here illegally, to become citizens at some point in the future after paying a $5000 fine and doing a 12 month "touch back" to their home country. There is also a provision for a wall. Yes, a wall. A big Roger Waters cum Nikita Khrushchev type of wall. Complete with razor wire, man eating dogs, watch towers, mine fields. God bless America!

Thank god we won the cold war.

I can see it now. In the not so distant future a world leader, since this time the roles will be reversed this leader will be communist or at least far-left leaning. Hugo Chavez will come to the wall and say "Mr. Bush (or whoever is president at the time) tear down this wall!" It is so ironic, that we pay homage to the 20th anniversary of the speech given by Reagan at the Brandenburg Gate where he told Gorbo to tear down his wall and we are talking about building one that will have the same purpose!

Why aren't we building a wall along the Canadian border? What is that? Because Canadians are not coming into our country en-masse and taking our bottom of the rung labor jobs or becoming cooks? How do you know? Do you have stats on that? No! Why? Because Canadians -for the most part- are...wait for it...WHITE!

Tell me again why this bill should not be called "Anti-Mexican and Other Brown People."

Probably because it just sounds so bad, as the truth so often does.
