It's officially an invasion now. They're getting snippy.
If Americans can't see that we are being invaded, they're either blind or don't care anymore.
Invasion? Yup. We gonna do anything about it? Nope.
If one were to bother to search my posts on this topic, one would learn quickly that I am in defense of immigration. For starters, I am descended from immigrants that were disdained upon their arrival here. And yet, some of the most patriotic and hard working Americans of any generation have been immigrants who came here seeking liberty and only the opportunity to work and get paid and live and be free.
I usually point out that I have hired Mexican immigrants with good results in a landscaping business that I owned; during a building boom and labor shortage, there was simply no other way for any labor intensive business to function -- to meet the demands of their customers.
But it does disturb me that the immigrants in LA are doing this -- that picture is worth a thousand words. I would be very surprised if the diligent, hardworking Mexican men -- who wanted nothing but more and more work -- would bother themselves doing this sort of thing.
It's apparent that immigration policy in America has been a shambles since way before the Bush presidency, but that he is the first I've heard to propose any sort of workable solution.
It is no surprise that the attempt, even the discussion, to correct immigration lapses of the past generation are going to be met with resistance by second-generation, and other entitlement-seeking illegal immigrants who flooded this country under the watch of previous administrations, particularly left-leaning ones.
I'd also be willing to bet that this group is being propagandized and mobilized by the left, whose fingerprints are on the gathering of any radical, discontented mob.
There seem to be two waves of immigrants -- those who want to earn the right to be Americans and those who do not care to -- that a successful immigration policy must acknowledge.
You got the brunt of a very long, confessional post when all you did was post a one-liner...
No, the invasion is over. It is now an occupation.
