About the only time I can respect a Mexican flag being waved on United States soil is when our boys in Red, White and Blue are getting ready to destroy El Tri on the soccer pitch. I can respect a Mexican’s desire to support his homeland’s soccer team, but if they are really that proud of Mexico, they need to go back home and fix their own country. We have enough problems as it is.
Ruben has always been a little disingenuous in his presentation of the immigration debate, as any of you who have read him before undoubtedly knows. He likes to label people that don’t like illegal aliens for good reasons as racist.
How a well-informed U.S. citizen that sees some of the detrimental effects of illegal immigration on our country (depressed wages, porous borders, etc.) can be called racist for wanting to protect their way of life is beyond me. Sure, they might make light of culture and custom because that is the only exposure they really have to immigrants, but they realize that there are serious dangers involved with having uncontrolled and unlawful immigration. Cultural conscience does not make these issues magcially disappear.
The real problem in all of this is the money: as with any issue we face as a nation, you can follow the money to the root of the problem. If businesses did not offer jobs to illegals, they would not come here. Just look at Arizona. A cop had to die there. How many U.S. citizens have to die before we get serious about our borders?
It seems as though we have a few too many business owners looking to make a quick buck at the expense of our nation, and not just by shipping labor overseas. Heaven forbid that any of them should be responsible for something equal to or worse than 9/11. As with the war on drugs: don’t go after the users; go after the distributors. Make the supply dry up because the demand will always be there.
Please remember to vote your conscience this November. You can and will make your voice heard.
Esto es para las razistas (y las racistas): si no quieren asimilarse, que se vayan. Si no quieren respetar las leyes de este país, por favor, que se vayan. Que vengan a visitar, que vengan a vivir legalmente, que vengan a trabajar y recibir el pago justo de su labor. No se vendan. Busquen la protección de la residencia o ciudadanía por medios justos y legales, y serán recompensados. Y después, si pueden, ayuden a su país natal, ni importa cual sea. No apoyen la injusticia ni la corrupción, sino ayuden a que leyes justas y líderes buenos guíen a sus países natales a las alturas del éxito. Si, se puede.
