What would be the rationale for my exodus from Santa Ana land? Well, one big reason is the zero opportunity in Mexico. Mexicos economic future is about as bright as Leif Garretts singing career. Im talking there is nada for the average José. Look, Vicente Fox can only hire out so many pool boys, chefs, drivers, maids, migrant map makers and mistresses. For the rest of the national workforce . . . well, youre pretty much SOL: sure-outta-luck.
Eclipsing the economic disaster are two other reasons why, if I were a Mexican living in Mexico, Id be putting the Sierra Madres in my rearview mirror and heading for Marfa: namely, Telemundo and Univision. Yes, if those were the only two channels I could watch on my black and white Philco after a 16-hour day of picking mangos in exchange for two chickens, I would walk through the desert for hundreds of miles, brave banditos, eat horny toads, drink mud, bake in the sun, swim the Rio Grande, scale the Big Bend mountains and wrestle pumas just to get away from that tacky entertainment and to get here to the States where I could enjoy Fox News and OLN. Therefore, as compassionate conservatives, weve got to cut these guys some slack. We, too, would want out of such a dysfunctional banana republic.\
Now, having said that, let me address mi amigos that want to move into our amazing Land-O-Plenty: Would you mind immigrating legally and learning English? Because, you see, our legal citizens are getting increasingly fed up with your criminal relocation dreams. Thats right. Our American buddies on the Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas borders are especially sick of . . .
Having their land trashed like a hotel room after Motley Crew spent the weekend there. [One Indian Reservation picks up trash to the tune of six tons a day. Would you please stop that? Its rude, and its threatening the existence of a certain lizard and the Sonoran Pronghorn antelope. Thanks.]
Having their ranches fencing routinely cut and vandalized. Having to pick up your pill bottles, used needles and syringes. Having to find the half eaten remains of their pets left from one of your impromptu BBQs. Having their homes burglarized. Having their daughters raped. Having their vehicles stolen. Having their property value plummet. Having their sedate streets become unsafe requiring their children to be placed under lock and key after sunset. Having to pick up and discard Muslim prayer rugs and literature strafed about the place. [BTW . . . when did so many Catholic Mexicans convert to Islam? I didnt get that brief. Would you explain that to me?] Having the arduous and unpleasant chore of scraping human feces off their front lawns in the morning.
Call us Americans fastidious, but we no likey the aforementioned; and the above is not causing us to take a shining to your desires to resettle here.
Let me help would-be Mexican immigrants understand exactly where were coming from. Our nations leniency regarding immigration has been used as a night stick to whup our own butt. Our nations compassionate openness, plus the corrupt incompetence of the former INS, plus our governments greed for foreign capital equaled a rolled-out welcome mat for the 9/11 terrorists and other thieves and thugs who looked to use us while they attempted to destroy us. So excuse us, por favor, if we dont seem too giddy about receiving new guests into our home; were still cleaning up after the last ones who tried to destroy the place.
Look, if you want to come here and visit, work or possibly live in the US of A, you must understand that it is a privilege. Be very clear on one fact: it is NOT a right. We dont have to do anything.
In addition, we want people who dream the American dream [once again, in English], who crave what we crave and who will approach us respectfully, legally and . . . if you dont mind terribly . . . pardon my redundancy, in English. And get this straight: our demand for a more stringent border has nothingnothing!to do with xenophobia. Rather, it is rooted in a love for our country. We like it here. We see it as a privilege and an honor to live here. And we want to make sure that when letting others join us in this privilege and honor, we are rewarding the credible who have waited, not the criminal who has manipulated. So, my advice is to immigrate correctly . . . do it right . . . and if you choose not todont think it unkind if you get tossed on your head right back to where you came from.
Huge ole BTTT!

You can add Virginia and Maryland to that list, although perhaps not to the extent mentioned.

Unfortunately they are given rights even if not formally, although in some cases they are. So while I and many agree, reality says otherwise in a sense. For that, SHAME on our politicians who have the control over this.
Frankly, someone that knows how ought to start a campaign to get out of office ANY Congressman that hasn't been proactive in correcting this situation. Lib, conservative, Dim, GOP, makes no difference. If someone that is willing to do something about it actively runs against you, that's who should be supported and voted in.
