I don’t know where you’ve been looking, but in my mind, this is the ONLY blight of FR. The usual code word is “illegal immigrant,” always referred to in the next sentence as “Juan,” and then people go on about how there are too many of “them” living in [fill in the blank].

There are many other non-Hispanic illegal immigrants, and most of the others don’t come here to pick fruit or work on your lawn, but to sponge off of welfare, figure out how they can build their mosque somewhere that it will be really offensive, how they can plant a bomb somewhere that will kill Americans, etc. But the only thing many people here ever obssess on are Mexicans and the supposed “Mexican invasion,” which is not true and could easily be solved by short-term visas, legal residency permits for people who have been here working and contributing to SS and paying local taxes for decades, and a better program for the future. And in exchange, get rid of the “refugee” programs and “family reunification” programs that have done nothing but bring us troublesome African and ME Muslims who do not assimilate, hate us, and are brought here at US government expense and installed directly on government benefits or are supported by foundations. No lawn work for them!

We’ve got to face this and deal with it. I got sick of hearing Bush referred to as “Jorge” Bush because he actually proposed solutions, and I am equally sick of hearing Perry referred to as “Ricardo” because he felt there should be a reasonable, economically sound way of dealing with the problem, which is essentially due to an immigration law that needs reform in a big way.

So let’s look at this again.
