They are not Immigrants, they are Illegal Aliens

I was watching the news last night when I saw a story on the many demonstrations being held by illegal aliens through out the nation. After the initial thought: “There they all are, why aren’t the police arresting them?” I went on to think: “Why aren’t we protesting them?” It might be because we work… (That was a joke) But seriously why aren’t we protesting illegal aliens? You may have heard all the pro-illegal rhetoric on the news, like: (insert Mexican accent) “I just want help my family. Why is that illegal?” “We make the economy run, we do the jobs no one else will do.” and “America was founded on Immigration.” Now, while these are all great emotional rousing arguments, they have flaws. One, America was founded on LEGAL Immigration, hence the reason we have Ellis Island. Two, the jobs you do are jobs that no one will do because you do it below minimum wage, the business owners are breaking the law and making a bundle of cash because you do it for a few bucks cheaper. Personally, I wouldn’t work for $4 an hour; I can’t afford to do that because I don’t want to live share a bedroom with twenty other people. Furthermore, I know people would do those jobs because I know people who have, I know people who work fast food, I know people who work as janitors and I know people who mow other peoples lawns, all American citizens. Three, if you want to help your family, I am absolutely fine with people who move here LEGALLY, maybe you should do that.

But beyond all the emotional rhetoric, here are some of the facts. California alone pays over $10 billion dollars each year for healthcare, schooling and incarceration of illegal aliens. That is about $1500 per household. Furthermore, our economy is losing $20 billion dollars that is being sent to the corrupt government of Mexico, a place that would be a terrific place to live; full or farmable land and resources along with tourism, however there is one of the most corrupt governments in the world there. (For example take a look at the Tlatelolco Massacre where hundreds of students were killed with machine guns.) But beyond the corrupt government, there is a nice place to live, and the illegal aliens want to live there, they are only here to drain our economy then move back; hence the work Aliens.

Furthermore, 17% of all inmates in federal prison are illegal, and in 2004 illegals accounted for 95% of all outstanding homicide warrants in LA and two-thirds of all un-served felony warrants. Illegal Aliens have an enormous crime base, and make up plenty of the gang members in America.

Now on the flipside, 62% of illegals pay income tax and 66% do contribute to social security. Further more, only 56% of the total number of immigrants came from Mexico; however much of that 44% came from through Mexico from Central America, ironically it is a felony to be in Mexico illegally (apparently the Mexican government likes American money coming to them only.) Also 1/5 of all Mexican-born people live in the USA. And of the 11 to 12 millions illegal immigrants in America, two-thirds or 8 million have arrived in the last 10 years.

So here’s my idea. Congress wants to reward the Illegal Aliens who have lived here the longest by allowing them to stay. Honestly, that is incredibly retarded; we should not reward the criminals who have been breaking the law the longest. I say, if you have been paying taxes you will be aloud to apply for citizenship or a green card (I am being VERY lenient here). If you haven’t been paying taxes, you are gone. Then we build a wall, not a fence, but a wall that rivals the Great Wall of China. (Don’t worry; the $10 billion dollars we were spending should be able to pay for it.) We make being here illegally a felony. We encourage Mexico to reform its corruption. And we, along with the politicians should stop even caring about the illegal alien protests, they don’t vote and if you are not an American citizen you don’t have a say on American laws. Finally, we defiantly, absolutely should put it law that English is the national language, it’s getting to the point where I cant ever order a Big Mac without breaking out my high school Spanish book.

Beyond economics and laws, here is a quote that I found that, being from Southern California, made me smile, “As far as I’m concerned, anyone who comes here and makes the effort to become an American, and to subscribe to our ideals and values, is welcome. Those who prefer to maintain their primary allegiance to another country need to go back to that country, rather than trying to make mine a mirror image of the Third World hellhole they hated so much that they risked their lives to flee it.” – Dale Franks.

I got lots of my facts from AlphaPatriot.com.

Artistic view of Death and Taxes

A great piece of art, the real look at American taxes. This is a great visual look at how much our government spends. I’m not surprised at the military spending, that is to be expected during a war, and after 911. It is much more disgusting how much our country spends on entitlements, so take a look.

Congressmen Bill Thomas to Quit at the “top of his game”

After writing on impeaching some pathetic democrats, I found a good republican to pick on. Congressmen Bill Thomas, chairman of the Ways and Means committee, announced today that he will not seek reelection.  He’s been in Congress since 1979, that’s 27 years, plus the 10 he served as a California Assembly member.  That’s 37 years of fat-catting around the country on his high horse. 

Here’s a good quote, fairly insightful to how lost our leaders are:

“On Monday, he said he was inspired to retire by the example of former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax, who Thomas said retired at the top of his game.” SFGate.com 

Lets talk Impeachment! Freak O’ the Week

We’ll since for some odd reason, even with our stupid Freak O’ the Week column we run, I don’t know why all of the “Impeachment” ads come up on our website. So I put together a voters guide.

The get the idiots out of office!

• Diane Feinstein was elected in 1992, 14 years.
• Congresswoman Maxine Waters is in her seventh term, that’s 14 years.
• Nancy Pelosi was elected in 1987, 19 years.
• Congressman Steny H. Hoyer is in his 13 term, 26 years.
• Congressman Charles B. Rangel is serving his seventeenth term, that’s 34 years.
• Edward Kennedy is in his seventh full term, 42 years of pickling.
• Robert Byrd was elected in 1958, 48 years racism.

Let’s VOTE OUT the OLD TIMERS!!!

Soldiers Want to Come Home (duh)

The Christian Science Monitor reported today that the majority of troops polled showed a desire to withdraw from Iraq within a year.  While at first glance this article may be surprising, as always you must look at it with slowly.  First off, look at the sourse: The Christian Science Monitor- a anti-war forerunner.  Even more biased is the poll which was funded by Le Moyne College’s Center for Peace and Global Studies.  Just look at the name and tell me that isnt biased.  Furthermore, Le Moyne College’s Center for Peace and Global Studies recieved its money for the project from an anonymous anti-war activist.  This article reaks of bias, and despite how polls make look offical, you can make a poll say whatever you want by asking the right question.  To contrast this, my personal experience with talking to soldiers, they all take the same position I expect.  They don’t want to be there, they hate it, but they know why they are there.

I must point out, even if it were true, I wouldnt care.  Marines are called Jarheads for a reason; they arent payed to think.

Civil Disobedience

Is Civil Disobedience a crime?  I would argue that when masses of citizens use non-violent actions of civil disobedience against government, it isn’t a crime.  Martin Luther King did this well and he changed the course of history.  However, when a few zealots enter military bases, they are breaking the law.

Here is an article trying to spin realty, saying that breaking the law is alright, and I think it’s just wrong. Green Peace broke the law.

“Is painting an anti-war message on the stern of a military supply vessel a crime?”

“all entered an RAF base at Fairford and attempted to immobilise B52 bombers”

” Marchwood Military Port and occupied tanks, locking themselves with chains and padlocks.”

Green Peace and Condoms

Well, after my last post I decided that I would visit Green Peace to see what they where all about. Here what I found, a commercial about using Giant Condoms to clean up our air. I took a screen shot and even made a link to this dumb commercial.

Green Peace and a War Ship

This is a funny story I found at the Weekly James, it’s old but good. Green Peace does it again, they look stupid.  No wonder nobody gives Green Peace any credit, their crazy.

Greenpeace activist Mikey Rosato hangs in protest from the bow of the guided missile frigate HMAS Sydney.

A high-speed rubber dinghy managed to act as a decoy to police boats while another dinghy pulled alongside the bows of the frigate as it cruised towards the heads.

One of the protesters, dressed in climbing gear, managed to attach some form of clamp to the side of the warship and rappel himself up.

As he dangled off the side of the ship, the dinghy pulled away, leaving police with the task of fathoming out how to get him off.

While on the bow, he displayed a Greenpeace anti-war banner. – SMH.com.au

The Pathetic State of Capital Punishment.

This is pathetic, we can’t seem to kill anyone in this state (California).  I am not surprised this happened, our state is so screwed up, so liberal, so sad.  Now, let me say, I’m not really in favor of the death penalty, but when a state can’t administer a punishment, some 20 years after the crime, why should we have capital punishment?

I say until people get guillotined right after the trial, we should end all capital punishment in this country.  It just doesn’t make any sense.

SAN QUENTIN, CALIF. – The state on Tuesday postponed indefinitely the execution of a condemned killer amid a court battle over the state’s method of injection and the role doctors may play in the death chamber.  – Chron.com

Jill Carroll – Fake Kidnapping or Bluffing Terrorists?

This blog will probably get me into trouble, I feel as if I am crossing the line while I write it, but I must put my theory out there to be heard. Jill Carroll, a freelance reporter for the Christian Science Monitor, was kidnapped on January 7th and has since made three videos calling for the release of all women prisonors held in Iraq. Each video release has also set a deadline to release the women prisonors before they kill Carroll. Of course, the two first deadlines have passed. That brings me to my hopeful theory: The terrorists are just bluffing and Carroll will eventually be released. I really hope that is the case. However, I also have a less flattering theory: I think she might be faking it. There are a few things that stirred this questioning. She works for the Christian Science Monitor, a pacifist news magazine. Beyond that, I question the whole situation: Why are these terrorists, who capture hostages and only negotiate for the release of the hostage if their country withdraws from Iraq, suddenly asking for the release of women? Why have these terrorists been so obviously bad at bluffing? Why have we never heard of this specific terrorist group, the “Brigades of Vengeance,” until this capture? Why has Carroll been wearing different clothes in every video, and appearing in good health? Why are these clothes making her resemble the the anti-American Al Jazeera reporters? Things are just not adding up. I hope I’m wrong but this whole terrorist situation just seems so fake and out of the ordinary. But in all honesty, I really hope the terrorists are just bluffing and will let her go.
