Doing writing work no else wants to do.
The rallies staged by those purported to care deeply about civil
rights and amnesty for Mexican illegals in the United States
continue.
People who are taking part in these marches are looking for one
of four things: A) free stuff from U.S. taxpayers, B) a day off
school, C) control over people who answered "A", or, least likely
but possibly, D) a day off work.
This is all, of course, under the guise of an "immigration"
and/or "civil rights" debate. Your civil right to not have your
money taken and given to an illegal isn't under consideration.
Sorry.
The fact that this is even a "debate" is frightening and will
cost somebody politically. That "somebody" will most likely be the
Republicans, and if, on Election Day, candidates find themselves
being treated like Capitol police officers confronting Cynthia
McKinney, so be it.
What about the Democrats? They'll still get their votes.
Everybody expects them to be consistently on the wrong
side of an issue, but for Republicans, this is unforgivable, but is
unfortunately becoming more and more commonplace. Why is this
happening? Political control over a potentially huge
voting bloc: illegals in the U.S.
As for the illegals, or those defending them, one can't help but
wonder how they feel about their "allies," like Hillary Clinton,
saying, as I heard this week, that if illegals aren't allowed to
stay and be treated as citizens, who will do all the low paying
jobs here in the U.S.? That's a paraphrase, of course, but that was
the gist of Hillary's comments at one of the rallies in New
York.
It does my heart good to see so many concerned Americans
attempting to ensure that when they have a non-citizen weed their
lettuce patch or clean their house, they can do so free from
worries of an IRS audit.
Somebody owes people like Linda Chavez, Bernie Kerik, and others
a sincere apology. Politicians from both sides of the aisle jumped
down their throats for allegedly hiring illegals on the QT, but
what's happening now? It turns out, they weren't lawbreakers, they
were groundbreakers!
In the past few weeks we've heard the accusation that those who
are anti-illegal immigration are "racist." If anything, precisely
the opposite is true.
Where are the real racists in this debate? Somewhere
near those pro-illegal immigration activists who come out daily and
say that these are people who will take jobs nobody else wants.
I found out firsthand in my early teens that this isn't entirely
true. One hot summer while employed as a weeder at a strawberry
patch, I was introduced to a truckload of people who would "do jobs
nobody else would do." Somehow, I was out of a job that I wouldn't
do.
If you listen to the pro-illegal crowds, all Mexicans are good
for is performing lousy, grungy, dirty, filthy, rotten jobs. Where
is the civil rights outrage? Where are the politicians who, if you
stereotyped any other group like this, would be up in political
arms?
If somebody stood up and said, "We need to let in more Africans
because they will do the lousy, low paying jobs nobody else will
do," what would Jesse Jackson say? What would Ted Kennedy say?
Would they be cool with it?
If somebody rallied in support of opening the floodgates to
anybody from Arab nations who wanted to come here because
"somebody's got to manage the convenience stores," what
would Barbara Boxer say?
Why no big uproar over the automatic stereotypical assignment of
lousy jobs to Mexicans, where they arrive in this country to find
that their glass ceiling has already been set as high as the floor
they have to sweep?
The real culprits here are not only the falsely titled "civil
rights activists," but also a bunch of politicians who don't really
care about people, be they you, me, or illegals. They care about
power, and what better way to grab power than by legalizing
illegals and suddenly having millions of instant votes?
It's no wonder politicians are tripping over themselves to be
the first to grant amnesty, not to mention your money, to
illegals.
Politicians are becoming so incredibly slimy that, if it isn't
already, politics will very soon be one of those "jobs nobody wants
to do." Finally, there is indeed hope for a good job for
Mexican illegals.
