The "Guests" who never left

Sound like the title of a new horror flick?

IT FUCKING OUGHT TO. That's what we'll have here--our own 24/7/365 horror show--if we appease the protesters ingrates marching in the streets in defense of immigrants criminals and separatists.

I have to ask the same question Terry, a commenter at Mitch's site asks:

Will someone please give me an example of a nation where the guest workers have either a) assimilated or b) gone home when the work ran out.
And why in the world would liberals or conservatives support the introduction of an immigrant group legally defined as 2nd class citizens?

Anyone? Anyone? Buehler? SOMEBODY PLEASE FUCKING ANSWER THIS!!!

For the life of me, I cannot understand either party on this issue. Democrats (i.e., Liberals, they are one-in-the-same these days, are they not?) claim to be for the poor and minorities can't seem to

• ...work harder to get our government to put pressure on Vicente Fox's government to create an economy that can support its own people


• ... understand that the emigration policy of Mexico is beyond "permissive," it encourages flight of such a large segment of the population that there might as well be a sign on their side of the border that says "don't let the barbed wire hit you on the way out!"


• .... get it through their donkey brains that the immigrants coming over our Southern border in particular are from the ethnic underclass in their own countries! These are not the descendants of Conquistadors crossing over, they are modern generations of Mayan and other indian cultures, currently not part of the power structure in their home countries, political or economic (imagine if South Africa's answer to getting rid of Apartheid had been a systematic campaign to nudge blacks over a neighbor's border, just so they'd be someone else's problem instead? Yeah, that's what we've got happening here kids), but the Dims are silent on the matter, acting like we are the racist pigs when in fact the U.S. is more tolerant of their "race" than whence they came.


• ... claiming these so-called "undocumented workers" are "paying taxes" is like saying they're here legally because no federal crime has been committed. What a crock of horseshit! What taxes would those be exactly? Break it down for us, will ya? They sure as shit aren't paying any income taxes or Social Security taxes, they don't have Social Security numbers by definition (it's kinda what "undocumented" means, morons!), unless of course they've stolen them from law-abiding Americans who do pay taxes. The only taxes I can see that they pay are sales taxes because they do buy shit here, but in most states, those are not the taxes that cover medical care, welfare, public education or any of the several other "benefits" they take advantage of while living here ILLEGALLY. This is just a bullshit way of trying to make it sound like they pay their own way. I promise you, whatever I save on a head of lettuce is not enough to pay the extra tax I pay to cover their upkeep, and even if it were, I'd still be pissed as shit for having to pay it. Saving on my lettuce to pay for someone else's medical care is not "saving," it's redistribution of income, pure and simple.

And Republicans can't get it through their thick skulls that

• ... "Guest Worker" is just another term for "amnesty." (See Terry's comment above)


• ... saying you're "tough on National Defense" without a super strict border security plan (e.g., one that essentially locks down the border to illegals, PERIOD) is BULLSHIT


• ... "contributing to the American economy" is a one-way street (see above lettuce argument). Workers who truly contribute not only pay taxes, pay for their own upkeep (as opposed to relying on the Nanny State to take care of their needs), don't commit crimes (starting with being here in the first place and moving on up to rape, murder, extortion, drug running, smuggling, etc...) and spend their money here, keeping most of it circulating in our economy rather than buying mansions back in their home countries


• ... businesses--small or large--are not entitled to a steady supply of cheap labor on the taxpayer's dime. I don't know how many different ways I can say this, people who hire illegals to work in their businesses are getting a taxpayer subsidy!!! Since when are Republicans for this shit???? (Oh yeah, since they stopped being conservative, I forgot)


• ... doing whatever it takes to keep the "Latino vote" is nothing less than taking your usual voting base for granted. Not that you care, but I just thought I'd point it out. It would at least be one more way you're starting to resemble the Democrats. So I guess spending money AND political capital you don't have is a contagious disease in Washington? Bummer. About the only thing differentiating you guys anymore will be gay marriage and abortion, two issues which shouldn't even be politicized in th first place.

It's pretty simple really. Any plan that allows "guest workers" is a cop-out and a repeat of crappy plans approved in the past that failed utterly. No plan will work without draconian new security measures at the border. Shit, I could go so far as to support amnesty without consequences for the 12M who managed to sneak in already if we simply were willing to lock down the border with a big fat wall like the Israelis built (i.e., one that works!).

People who say that would be tantamount to the Berlin Wall are full of shit. I saw the Berlin Wall and that sucker was built to keep people IN, that's a much different thing that building one to keep people OUT.

I'm also in favor of making it easier for those who want to come here LEGALLY, the kind of people who really will pay taxes, who won't bring disease, crime, a never-ending pit of need for public assistance, tax-payer-paid translators and the like. Let's reward the shit out of them and punish the shit out of those who hire any who manage to scale the new wall (or fly over it or swim around it). Also, I'd support a plan to reward snitches who rat out their bosses who hire such people. They could get cash rewards, paid for of course with the huge fines that would be levvied against such employers--it would be a self-supporting program, get it?

Not that I had any doubts on this score, but all I needed to see to reinforce my anger at these illegal aliens who "protest" our laws was the footage this morning of a guy who got caught trying to sneak into Arizona. He was stopped by a Minuteman patrol (God bless those guys!), and when the TV reporter asked him if he knew it was illegal to come in this way, he said defianty "I know." When asked if he cared, he said (in a "FUCK no" kind of way) "I don't care."

Any pity I might have felt for this piece of human excrement went right out the window. I hardly think this RANDOM person is unusual, precisely because of the randomness with which he was chosen to comment, and because he was one of approximately 23 illegals trying to sneak in together. I suspect all of his fellow invaders would have said the same thing. Are these people we want "contributing" to our economy? People who openly mock our laws--laws you and I VOTED TO HAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE?! Is there any more obvious frontal assault on our liberty, on our sovereignty, on our DIGNITY than this?

I think not.

I'm mad as hell and I'm just not going to take it anymore. Call me racist if you want, but be sure you direct some of your righteous indignation at the leaders of the countries from which these scumbags hail. If their people are so great, why aren't they working tooth and nail to hold onto them?

Answer that, then answer this for me: How would you feel if suddenly 12M "hardworking, decent Americans" fled to take jobs in Mexico? If they were so great, wouldn't you want them back? And if not, why the hell not?

The question would be rhetorical, except that I doubt most supporters of "Guest Worker" status could answer it even then.

Pathetic, truly pathetic.
