Since Mexicans know that their own government represented by the flags they so proudly display while protesting for U.S. rights won’t listen and doesn’t give a damn about them, they lash out at the very liberal hands that feed, educate and house them. The same aid their own government is unwilling to provide them. The same aid my own government is unwilling to provide my 76-year-old mother who worked and donated 55 years to the tax base.
How dare my fellow Americans give more rights to illegals than those given to our own citizens? Our behavior encourages theirs. This would explain why illegals find it easier to steal our rights instead of demanding their own rights in their own country just a few minutes down the road.
I will now call INS anytime I think it is appropriate (1.866.347.2423). I will fight to eliminate illegal day labor in Malibu. I want to know why a community that is wealthier than Beverly Hills feels the need to employ sub-American wage workers anyway. As a woman, I would never allow a man I’ve never met before in my vehicle, much less take him to my home and give him access to my family. I guess others value a good deal more than they value non-oppression of the Mexican race or even the safety of their own family. I’m not saying all day laborers are bad, but all of them certainly aren’t good-how do you tell the difference?
It’s not totally the illegals’ fault when we are such a welcome wagon for abuse. This is not racism, it’s a burden. It’s a burden on our elderly and children who are dependent on our system, because Americans don’t have a border country they can illegally enter to be fed, cared for or schooled in. Anybody who is causing a burden on our own elderly and, for God’s sake, our children and their future shouldn’t even have to be asked to leave. If they are good folks, they should do it voluntarily. But they don’t and they won’t. Since they won’t, they should be graciously asked to pay for their education, healthcare, and share of taxes or asked to leave and apply for legal status. I laugh to think how many feel this might be inhumane or un-American, but you’ll throw a family member out of your house after they eat all your food, sleep on your sofa and refuse to pay for it, won’t ya?
