Just Fix The Fence

So, as some of you know, illegal immigration is a "hot button" of mine.  Push it, and you're sure to get a rather blunt and direct response.  I live in a hotbed of Hispanic immigration, and it's a pretty rare occasion that a day goes by where my life isn't somewhat affected by it.  Frankly, there are more illegals here than I care to know about.

Many of my friends want to just broad-brush my feelings as "racism", and how I just don't like Mexicans.  Frankly, this reaction really pisses me off, because it simply isn't true.  Just because I'm not an uber-liberal Democrat doesn't mean I'm a racist.  I have a number of friends around this area with Hispanic descent.  I harbor no ill will or feelings toward these acquaintances.

I do have a problem, though, with people that are in this country illegally.  Doesn't matter if they're black, white, brown, yellow, pink, or green.  It just so happens that the largest populace that is unlawfully in this country is Mexican.

No one is arguing that you're human - just that you're not here legally.

Why is it every other civilized (and even, by current human rights standards, uncivilized) country on the planet has immigration rules?  Christ, even MEXICO will fine you, jail you, and deport you if you're in their country without a passport or other legal documentation.  Even the fucking Swiss, supposedly the nicest people on the planet, have stringent and tough immigration laws.

But here in the US, the land of hypocrisy and "me too", as soon as a State wants to actually enforce the laws that are already in place regarding immigration, because the Federal Government is a bunch of money-grubbing liars and won't deal with the problem, our fucking Democrat President has the audacity to criticize this direction.

From the New York Times:

"During the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama had said that immigration reform, including a plan to make legal status possible, would be a priority in his first year in office.  But the economic downturn and the drawn out legislative fight over healthcare pushed it off the agenda in 2009."

Fucking liar.  11.9 Million illegals in this country - that's more than immigrants that are actually supposed to be here.

Which tells me this - these uber-liberal Democrats think its just fine and dandy for someone to come into town, provide some level of basic, physical service (laborers and such), send all their money back to their home country, pay no State income tax, pay no Federal income tax, abuse our current healthcare system - which (a) I help pay for, and (b) artificially inflates healthcare costs across the board - then have fifteen fucking kids that are all now automatically naturalized citizens of the US, so I get to pay for their WIC stamps, their Welfare checks, and send them to school so they can bog down and sabotage the educational system in this country.  THEN, as if this couldn't get any better, they go and commit some stupid fucking crime that MY tax dollars then have to be used for to prosecute them, and I get to pay for Social Services to remove their kids from a 'bad situation'.

In recap:  They take US money and send it outside the US.  They work jobs that would normally require payment of taxes to operate this country.  Then they use monies - taxes and personal income - that they didn't produce that is just given to them out of the "human spirit".  Then I'm stuck raising their kids.

And exactly how does that help the economy recover?

What.  The.  Fuck.

Arizona's SB 1070 bill simply is allowing the officers of the law to properly enforce that very law.  It is no different than being pulled over by a highway patrolman on suspicion of drunk driving, which no one bitches about.  But for some reason, people think its inhumane to ensure the welfare and safety of the lawfully-residing public by enforcing the laws that are already in place.  Will some people be questioned about their status unnecessarily?  Absolutely.  Just like if you get pulled over for doing 40 in a 35 at 1:00am on a Friday night, there's a decent chance you may be going through sobriety tests.  It's suspicion that you're doing something illegal.

So, one state makes steps in the right direction, while another decides to shoot themselves in the foot.

But let's face it, people - the biggest problem is with Mexico.  No one says, "Man, I wish those Canadians would just go back to Canada."  I can't remember the last time an illegal from Germany being a problem for me.  But innocent people are being shot by illegal Mexicans in the border states.  What this country is experiencing in the southwest is not immigration - it's an invasion.  And the legal citizens of the country are letting it happen - with reckless abandon, even.  These idiots don't even know what they're protesting anymore.

"Ooh, Phil Jackson is showing some support for the enforcement of immigration laws.  Let's go protest the game!"  Fucking morons.

The Government needs to do something about this problem.  The US is heading toward a crisis.  Either the Government will start enforcing these immigration laws to their full effect, the true citizens of the US will take up arms and solve it themselves, or someday, your kids will be pledging their allegiance to the Stars & Stripes in a red, white, and green hue.
