Get The Wetbacks!

The Republican party is very worried about hordes of illegal immigrants from Mexico flooding across our borders and taking good jobs away from God  fearing red blooded Americans. Heck, think of how many millions of America who want to pick peaches, pull down apples, dig roads and enjoy the benefit of a nice smelling job in a meat packing establishment! Republicans insist that prior to establishing a process for the 12 million illegal immigrants presently in this country, our borders must be “secure.”

During the past four years President Obama has doubled expenditures on the border patrol, it has resulted in twice as many immigrants be captured and returned to Mexico, but to Tea Party stalwarts, President Obama is soft on immigrants. We must return to  President Bush when half as many illegal immigrants were prevented from entering America. Illegal crossings are down 80%  from 2000.

Oh, for the days of George Bush!

Rocket Marijuana

I shot an arrow into the air, it fell to earth in Texas, fair. There are those in Congress who seek to build a high, high fence on the border between the United States and Mexico in order to keep out those damn illegal folk and their damn drugs. Of course, any drug lord can get some ladders and simply walk over the fence. Or, any drug lords can simply find the means for men carrying drugs to vault over the fence. Alas, those damn drug lords have uncovered a new means to get over the fence. Border patrol folk discovered that drug lords now have a cannon which fires shells which contain drugs within them and they land in the virgin soil of Texas. About 33 pounds of marijuana were discovered in the desert.

Alas, for drug lords the patrol guys got their drugs before they could get them. I think it is time in Congress to hire some drug lords to advise the idiots in our government on methods to get drugs over the border. First, one  must know how drugs get over the border before figuring out how to halt this flow.

Of course, there is always the simple way to handle drugs-LEGALIZE THEM!!

Madness Of Drug Wars!

Every so often a story emerges from Mexico which affirms the stupidity of our war on drugs. Of course, one can not wage a “war” on things we drink or eat, but those in charge of the war on drugs regard it as a sacred duty to kill one and all involved in the trade. Of course, few with gobs of money ever are charged with drug crimes and most who wind up in jail lack money, not honesty. Some suspected drug dealers near the border with Mexico abandoned some packages and fled home. The border patrol followed them and came upon a crowd of angry Mexicans who were throwing stones.

Naturally, what could any honest, hard working American border agent do when people threw stones? He could walk away,  he could contact Mexican police, or he could simply stand back and not allow stones to hit them. US border patrol agents decided to return stones with bullets. In the exchange a Mexican teenager was killed.

The death of this young boy will fall under the classification of “death by unknown factors or people”

Show The Papers!

I recall my childhood when one could walk the streets of America without being hassled by police. In New York City, over 800,000 people were halted last year and police demanded the right to search and seize. Arizona passed a law which allows police to halt individuals and demand to see their papers proving they are a native born American. A US Court of Appeals upheld the legality of the law on the assumption police will only halt those who look “suspicious.”

In all honestly I do not ordinarily walk around with a copy of my birth certificate or any paper which proves that I was born in the US or am a naturalized citizen. I am certain the police of Arizona would never halt anyone just because they look like a Mexican. We all know that police wander wealthy communities halting people who look suspicious. If you doubt me just check who is halted and where they are halted.

Speak Spanish, Get Stopped!

If you happen to be speaking to someone in the state of Arizona make certain the language of exchange is not Spanish. A federal judge upheld an Arizona law which allows police to demand proof from a citizen walking the streets that he was born in this country or is a naturalized citizen. Conservatives constantly claim we should abide by the original intent of those who wrote the Constitution. Of course, men like Alexander Hamilton weren’t born in any of the original colonies. Sure, the original intent was to allow police to halt anyone and check for citizenship.

Governor Jan Brewer insists there will not be racial profiling. I guess Arizona will be just like New York City where over 600,000 were halted by police and it turns out the overwhelming number were either African American or Hispanic. I have a strong hunch no Wall Street folk will be stopped anywhere in America.

From Illegal To Legal

The United States of America is among the few nations in this world which allow children born in its territory to become American citizens. However, there are hundreds of thousands of young people whose parents took them to the USA while still a child. They have spent most of their lives in America, speak English, and are culturally and psychologically American as apple pie. President Obama announced a new program which would allow them to gain access to work, and, hopefully, to citizenship.

Millions will deny them this opportunity to build on their American experience and become citizens. Throughout the history of the USA, millions of immigrants entered illegally and their descendants now demand sending home those who entered through the back door. Most probably buried in their own history is teh story of an illegal immigrant

Let’s Build A Wall!

Members of the Tea Party and the National Rifle Association want to construct a huge high fence along the border with Mexico in  order to keep out those hordes of Christians from pouring into this nation. Mitt insists if elected to build the highest fence known to the human race in order to prevent drugs or drug lords or illegal immigrants from entering and taking jobs away from decent Americans whom want to pick peaches and lettuce.

The Border Patrol has know uncovered at least 156 tunnels under our border, and some of these are sophisticated constructions. Just about every week another tunnel is found. These damn drug lords don’t understand that a high fence is going to appear in their lives. Of course, any drug lord could secure material that would allow a person to vault over the fence. In the mean time, they are simply going under the fence.

Build a fence and provide jobs for American workers–those who do not wish to pick strawberries.

Mexican Electoral Standoff

I was raised in the era when political bosses ran party machines. Of course, it was not as blatant as today when corporations purchase votes of members of Congress  with a “donation.” In my times, we voted the straight Democratic party line and in return obtained government jobs or assistance with criminal activities.  I must express admiration for Enrique Pena Nieto who “won” the recent presidential election in Mexico by receiving 38% of the vote to his nearest competitor who received 32%. Enrique makes American political bosses look like members of the Civic League for honesty in government.

Thousands of Mexican voters are rushing to their grocery store to transform the gift card received for voting the right way. Most will receive a gift of about $35, which is a lot more than any political boss I know would have paid for a vote!  Manuel Lopez Obrador, who came in second, is a bit upset. I wonder why?

Mexico Gets President, What Do Drug Lords Get??

The American people have a love affair with drugs, illegal ones, that is. They snort and sniffle and get high on drugs that come from far away countries in Asia or Latin America. Along the way of their high trips drug lords are getting even higher in income levels. So, what to do? The people of Mexico elected Enrique Nieto of the Institutional Revolutionary Party(IRP) which previously had ruled the  nation for decades. Mexicans are tired of having the American love affair ruin their right to love, freedom and peace.

Mr. Nieto has promised an end to corruption, to nepotism, and incompetence. Logic would lead to legalizing drugs in Mexico and telling Americans to get high with drugs from elsewhere. Enrique, surrender, seek  peace and seek an end to fighting drug lords by having the government become the all powerful drug lord. Sell drugs at low prices and tell America to end its lunacy.

Normal Day At Mexico Air Port

It was just another normal day at the Mexico City airport as travelers hurried to catch flights that would take them far away from the hectic life of people in this huge city. Mothers held babies in arms, men examined their lap tops for the latest stock quotes, pilots chatted with colleagues as they prepared to board their planes. It was a normal day, nothing extraordinary. A young man and a his girl friend argued and she ran away  tearful.

Three police officers walked over to two of their colleagues waiting in line to board a plane. The two men glanced at the approaching policemen. They reached into their pockets, drew guns and shot the three policemen. There was a flurry of excitement as shots rang out, but within moments things returned to normal. The two policemen fled, three bodies of policemen lay on the ground. Of course, the drugs being carried by the fleeing police remained secure.

The airport reported no interference with flights. People boarded planes. It was just another episode in the ongoing saga of drugs, criminals, police, and ordinary Mexicans. All planes departed on time.
