The Job that Mexicans Won't Do

Millions of unskilled, illegal aliens take to the streets in protest that the people of the United States would like our immigration laws enforced, thank you very much. My favorite sign of the day, as reported on CNN -- "We are not criminals. Give us a chance for a better life."

Oh-kaay . . . number one, yes, you are criminals if you break our laws; and number two, why the frickin' hell aren't you in MEXICO marching down the streets demanding that YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT reform its failed economic policies and clamp down on rampant corruption so that you can have your chance for a better life IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY?

The Spanish-descent ruling class of Mexico drives its poor, unskilled, indigenous-descent population into the U.S. so that they can air their discontent and grievances about their crappy lives here while living off the United States Taxpayer rather than soaking up the tax funds that Vicente Fox's wife needs when Chanel comes out with its Fall 2006 collection.

So, today, in honor of the millions of criminals marching through our streets, I propose that Americans do the job that Mexicans won't do -- let's get rid of Vicente Fox and his cronies, ditch the disastrous political and economic system of Mexico and replace it with one that works. Maybe then millions of Mexicans won't feel like they have to leave their own country in order to get "a decent life."

P.S. -- it's déjà vu all over again: "In fact, I can’t imagine what could have been more helpful. The protest received front-page coverage—a bonanza for immigration reform since, like the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride, it raises awareness (and ire) among fed-up citizens."

This Is How the West Was Won

This upcoming April 16th marks the unfortunate anniversary of the death of Fabrizio Quattrocchi, a man whose spirit, depth and outright bravery I can only hope to emulate on a day to day basis. His death was needless and tragic, and yet another example of a hard-scrabble, valuable citizen of Western enlightenment snuffed out by backward Islamist trash.

If only our Senate were populated with the likes of Quattrochhi rather than John McCain and Chuck Hagel, we'd be a much better country today.
