[Smokin' Joe]

It works this way, Mr President.

We bust our butts to keep our families fed, clothed, and get our kids the kind of education which will permit them to do the same for our children.

We pay our taxes, seldom get a break, and seldom ask for one.

All we expect is that everyone else have to go by the same rules we have to go by.

It appears they do not. It appears they will be rewarded for breaking our laws (as they have been) with the fruits of our labors, to the detriment of our own children, grand children, and their progeny.

Think about that and you might begin to understand why we are pissed off.

I am sick of having to look for the instructions in 'Ingles', I am tired of pressing a number for English.

I have had it with people who are here illegally claiming we 'stole' land ceded as the result of a war, or later purchased--and getting away with it because although no child was left behind, they were not taught about the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, or the Gadsen Purchase.

Oh no, instead, student's time is spent worshipping the annointed of various movements at the altars of political correctness, when not ritually bagging vegetables in latex, in preparation for a job either picking them or bagging them at the grocery store.

But God help them if they mention Jesus in school and he isn't a Latino, because only God will.

You wonder why we are mad?

Give us the real numbers.

THIRTY MILLION sounds closer to the truth than the bogus twelve million which is still being bandied about. THIRTY MILLION who have invaded our nation, and the borders are still not secure.

The average cattle rancher here has put up more fence than the Federal Government in the last decade.

Wonder why we are mad?

We expect politicians to bend the truth here and there, we expect the numbers to be skewed.

That goes with the territory. We are going to be lied to and we know it.

But we resent the hell out of being played for suckers.

So when it comes push to shove, I guess the question is: Are you a Texan, or just another northeastern politician who went carpetbagging?

Your answer, sir, will be made manifest in your actions.

Words are just too damned cheap at this point.

” THIRTY MILLION sounds closer to the truth...”

Yeah. In ‘86 they said 1.3 million and it turned out to be 3 million. So I guess it’s probably about 25 - 30 million this time.

Also, yesterday the CBO said this bill will reduce illegal immigration by 25%. Just the kind of results I would expect from the government.

Damn, that hit the spot! I salute you Smokin’ Joe!!

Well said. I’ve been wondering if he has lost all of his “Texan” or been infected with Potomac Fever. I truly think this is his upbringing coming out.

Something is going on, and apparently in his opinion, it isn’t any of our concern yet...remember ‘Don’t pay any attention to that man behind the curtain’.

Excellent statement. And true.

That’s one great post.

I’m giving you a standing ovation. Do you mind if a keep a copy of this? I’d like to send a slightly tweeked copy to “my” senator. This is exactly how I feel, but you say it so much better.
