Dear President Bush: I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements . I know you can help with this. I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following: 1. Free medical care for my entire family. 2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not. 3. All government forms need to be printed in English. 4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers. 5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history. 6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down. 7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch. 8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services. 9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws. 10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English. 11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals. 12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws. 13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy. I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely. However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P. Thank you so much for your kind help, wingtips
while this is tongue-in-cheek, it is 'creepy' to think that this is the type of welcome mat we roll out for people who have, in fact, entered ILLEGALLY into our country.
Typical mr. Florsheim thread starter. Angry white man non-sequitur, which will be followed by a couple of responses pointing out how ridiculous it is and a couple of lame responses by Mr. F, then he will get personally defensive and say how important he is at work and the disappearing act will follow, until the next thread starter a day or two later. Enjoy your day at the water cooler, shoe boy.
You boys just love illegals cause you hope their potential votes might help you get the White House back
In Ejo they can I made it a law Got em to show up at the polls so I could execute them I take it you don't know what potential means.
It means they would have to become legal, and isn't that what you want? Or is it just that you think there are too many brown people around? I enjoyed the rest of your second post... I think the Ejo gig is funny.
I think the other posters wanted it in Spanish too Wingtips, I'll cast a vote for Tom Tancredo for you here.
Brown people....ahh so I have to be a racist because I against ILLEGAL immigration I'm all for LEGAL immigration Obey the laws and all that In Ejo we make lawbreakers read Mel's posts. Amnesty says it's torture but I don't care
Damn, I knew we should of dumped another million illegals in Texas to vote against Gov Bush... If only we had someone who spoke Spanish gooder than English too....
I know! The nerve of those people for not having been born into wealth! Speaking of "illegal," weren't you recently excusing frat boys who provide alcohol to minors and who occasionally blow off steam by pissing in public and harassing cops while drunk?
Then, you should be truly pissed at the government and not necessarily the illegal aliens. We have openly encouraged people to come in undocumented for years, and now you want to blame them for accpeting the invitation? Every once in a while, I flip around the am dial when I am driving long distance late at night. I had that displeasure last night going from Chicago to KC. I was shocked at how am has changed. It used to be some oldies stations, some country/western stations and some talk radio about everything from gardening to relationship problems, and then that one station that would be replaying Rush Limbaugh. NOW, the whole dial is little rush wannabes that are even more extreme in the hopes of getting noticed. I bring this up because they are over the top about the imigration issue. They are absolutely demonizing -- primaraily Mexicans. They ignore the millions of Irish, Lithuanian, Polish etc. illiegals and make it all about the Mexicans. They also blame the hell out of small business employers. Our government can't secure our own borders, so they put the blame on the immigrants and the businesses. Unreal. If the US wants to take a real shot at securing our borders, I am all for it. Until we make that commitment, the rest of this talk is political nonesense, and nothing more than one giant wedge created to scare people before the midterm elections.
Question for anyone. What is the law about hiring contract companies based in Mexico. I was under the belief that NAFTA permitted free trade between American and Mexican companies Wouldn't a contractor on a truck technically be a sole proprietor based in Mexico and therefore not an illegal employee after all?
Don't be surprised when some of the simpler folk start to confuse their wedge issues. We have to have a fence to prevent gays from crossing our borders and taking our jobs, and we need a constitutional amendment to prevent Mexicans from marrying.
Olson Johnson: All right, we'll give some land to the niggers and the chinks, but we DON'T WANT THE IRISH.
Because it's such a wonderful idea to let people with contagious diseases go untreated. Besides, germs can't cross borders or rivers or oceans or walls! Everyone knows THAT! I'm gonna go way, way out on a limb and say that it isn't that hard to find a Mexican government official who speaks a little English. Boy, if I see one more illegal at the Auto Club filling out a License of Non-Operation, I'll plotz! That leaves out Indiana, then. But NO EVOLUTION! So move to Iraq. Jesus, leave it to right-wing bigots to fantasize about kids sitting in the corner watching other kids eat cafeteria food. If you need Mexican government services, pal, a driver's license is the least of your problems. Are you SURE we're not talking about Indiana? Worked for Amadou Diallo. Well, duh. People who would complain about patriotic pride and freedom of speech are dicks. Everyone knows that. Run for Congress, then. Well, since your tuberculosis-suffering kids are gonna be starving in the corner while the cops beat the shit out of you, the least people can do is be nice to you. Worked for Fidel Castro. Honestly, if you're going to bash Mexicans, ********ing BASH MEXICANS. Do I have to do everything for you people?
