My Wife does volunteer work for an Elementary school in the a city in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. She is on site counsels and committees. She knows all the students, and in fact many if not most, know, and love her. The Principal and school officials are always calling her, and taking advantage of her social conscious and intelligence, and her excellence with children. I have a child who attends that school.
Today I receive a phone call from my wife. The cell is ringing, I think it's work related. A quick look at the incoming id, its my wife.
You know what, she says - she was going by the elementary school. A crowd of over 50 teenagers, on the school grounds where children will need to congregate, waving Mexican flags. I listen carefully to her words. She was on her way to an errand when she saw them on the campus. She tells me, how she knows the children of the school, and how these teenagers - she doesnt recognize them. She tells me these teenagers, dont attend the school - at least, I dont recognize any of them. She would know.
My wifes voice is not shaking. She is very strong, in so many ways.
And then I am told what she did.
She stopped the car, and went to them. She was just on the grass crossing. She told them, Hey - who are you? What are you doing here? - she did not tell me their reaction. I did not need to ask, because I know that they gave crap, and crap looks. She calls on the cell phone to the principal, but the principal was already on the way out to take in the scene. Hey - if you guys want to become American citizens, then why are you waving American flags! she says right at them so all can hear.
My wife is very brave. I thought in my mind, how much I respect and love her.
She was not mean, not rude. She is right on the money with her words.
I do not need to tell you everything that happened then. I will let you know, some didnt even know what she said, I dont think they understood the English. And some others, they spit out towards her. The spit missed.
I want you to know how proud I am of my wife.
Other school officials, I am surprised to say, probably because they respect her so much, are now telling these teenagers they do not belong here and must leave. My wife goes on to her errand, but the school told her they will follow up with her and let her know what the police did once they arrive.
I have something to say. It is what tens, hundreds, of thousands are saying. I say this is the fault of George Bush. I would not spit on him, but thinking of my wife, I certainly enjoying thinking of spitting on George Ws stupid face. Six years this idiot wasted our precious time on this critical and historic remaking of our nation, this threat. Those were six precious years. Wasted. All he ever could tell me about is his stupid guest workers program, and he's still forcing the great betrayal. I will always remember the Bushies - I think of them as my enemy now. I am not alone. The Republican Party has been damaged by these idiots. Now we will see if we can either take the party, or make new history. Certainly history is going to be made, but likely Bush is becoming such a lame duck it won't be the Bushies who are going to do it. Even if the illegals win, it won't be because of the Bushies who are part of pushing this Bush agenda, this corporate agenda - because, they are losing so much that they have little, no, respect among way too many now to effect anything. So all they can do is snipe and act as if Bush is even listening to them anyway, which he is not.
The Bushies say how dare any of us tell it like it is, that Bush sucks. But they cant stop us, because there are too many on our side, and not on their side. Bush is losing power, each day he bumbles another mistake, politically tone deaf like the Bushies who follow him, another outrage, another idiocy. In fact, we dont have to really do anything, Bush and the Bushies are all doing it to themselves. When someone says the truth about how Bush sucks, all they can do is snipe little insults, they image that they even count for something politically. They count for very little, and soon they will count for nothing. With each antic, my side wins, and becomes bigger. Just watch.
I am glad when I hear their reaction, not just because it is so expected, it helps my side so much.
A Marine (Ed E.) told me, I am afraid that George W. sold out this country for votes in the Latino community. I feel badly that the USA will suffer because of this idiocy. Another Marine friend of his told me, I ad lib because I dont have his exact words down, Bush's immigrant plan is a political cesspool (those words I do remember) . . . we are told no one (citizens) to do the millions of jobs so we have to have the 20 million illegals, the same policy makers are telling us we have 20 million poor in this country and unemployment and, no jobs for our unemployed? This does not make sense. Ed adds, Americans are now competing with illegals for low paying jobs, which do not have to be low paying, and that worries me given the educational opportunities, our schools are becoming failures, where are those citizens (going to go) do?
Exactly, my Marine friend.
I need to go pick up children from classes so I'll visit FR later this evening to read your response.
Off to pick up children...back later.
UNbelievable! Bush is the one in office NOW!
Tell your wife, "You has balls - I like balls." (from Team America)
I'm surprised there's been nothing here in Houston. The audacity of them to wave Mexican flags. They want to immigrate here and they bring all the crap that made their homeland suck?
What side is Hush Bimbo on? Savage has been right on Bush for a long time. I used not to like it, but he was right. Bush is so wrong on this issue.
Immigrants don't do jobs that Americans don't want to do...they'll do them for $2.50/hr while Americans will want at least mininum wage.
Things had not quite come to a head yet when Bill Clinton was in office, but the anger was starting to grow. I spoke out numerous times about Clinton's immigration and border policies, Reagan's amnesty, Rep. Jim Kolbe (RINO-AZ) and his constant votes for amnesty, etc. Heck, most of the books I have on the problems with illegal immigration I purchased while Clinton was President. I hoped, for some stupid reason, that a Republican President would reverse the damage that Clinton (and Sen. Kennedy) had done. Boy, was I wrong. I expected more from a Republican. And after 9/11 it blew my mind that this Republican President didn't secure the borders. Then he called me a vigilante last year. Yesterday he lied and said that I was "anti-immigrant". Over the weekend we saw over 1,000,000 invaders and their enablers marching unopposed in American streets waving the flags of the foreign nation to which they give their allegiance. We didn't see this stuff during previous presidencies. As I said, things had not come to a head. Well, they have now.
Burn it, stomp it, deface it, paint "ILLEGALS GO HOME!" on it.
Drive them totally loco, off the rails, insane. Force their nationalist hand, in full view of America.
BTTT
Many of us think the same way. We've been sold out by the party that we trusted. Never again.
Are you kidding me? Bush is the poster boy for illegal immigrant amnesty.
Brian may "sound" like a liberal, but guess what? Liberals hate illegal immigration as much as conservatives. Most of my friends and relatives are in the liberal wing of the Democratic party, and they are all hopping mad about the Mexican invasion.
Amnesty by the legal definition or amnesty by the definition of anything less than complete deportation akin the Battan death march?
Another idiotic, hey look at me, post from you.
What difference does it make. You think ILLEGAL ALIENS give a rat's @$$ about our laws anyway? Because of surrender monkeys like you this country will be a socialist third world piss hole like Mexico in less than 20 years.
Well, that explains a lot..
I think I get. You're one of those nancy-boy elitists in a gated community more worried about your greens fees going up than about getting tough on illegal immigration. Pathetic little merlot-sipping girly-man in a turtleneck.
LOL.. who knows you may be right
"Nancy boy elitist..."
Good grief. Full melt down mode. Angry and mean and insulting Freepers but too chicken to directly take on the ones you despise. Sissy boy tossing a big, hysterical fit of absoultely no use to your cause. What are you going to do about immigration beside call everyone a poo poo head? Nothing.
What's the matter little girl.....they going to deport your little Julio?
