Fun with Immigration



Does it ever get old? Pulling outrageous quotes from batty conservative web sites for laffs? No, it doesn't. The great Immigration Debate Grudge-Match SMACKDOWN!!!! of 2006 certainly has some daunting panties twisted in some very scary knots.

Pony Pals™, I give you the immaculately right-wing Mothers Against Illegal Aliens to contemplate. So twitchy 'n' nervous! If you care to wallow into their nutty world, many humorous delights await. And also a not-so-humorous militant note that would even make George Bush blush:
We are not only at war with Iraq, but we ARE at WAR with MEXICO; a silent war with Aztlanders and a war with President Fox, who said he will take over the United States with sheer numbers without ever firing a shot. We now have 15-20 million illegals in the United States, and the count rises by a minimum of 5,000 every day. You decide if it is true!
OMG, we're in another war! But if you're really ready for the full immersion into wackyland, proceed to their forums, where you'll be delighted to spot the following collisions of unconventional grammar and bigotry:
WHAT WE ARE SEEING TODAY IS SOMEWHAT LIKE WHAT HAPPEN LEEDING UP TO THE CIVIL WAR....OR MORE LIKE THE MEXICAN AMERICAN WAR...IT WASNT STARTED MY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, IT WAS STARTED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND THAT COULD HAPPEN AGIAN...I WOULD EXPECT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN, I CANT SEE AMERICANS JUST TAKING IT FOR EVER.

REMEMBER THE ALIMO!!!

I have nothing to say after checking out your link in this post..ignorance can be so disgusting when worn as a badge of honor. Gee..they don't allow comments on the Mother site and they are big on banning folks at their forum.

As a San Antonio resident, where the (ahem) Alamo is located, the gentleman scholar you cited seems to have the mistaken impression that the Americans won that battle.

The simple solution to stemming the tide of illegal aliens willing to work for pennies on the dollar is to fine EMPLOYERS $20,000 for each illegal they are found employing.

Bush would rather die than see his rich white compadres have to pay fines for their crimes.

Agreed KZ..screw them guys over in their bank accounts..ONLY way to stop em..and have americans pick our produce...like thats gonna happen.

First, if anyone over the age of 12 is calling it the "Alimo," that's tragic.

Secondly, the only palpable negative result from the huge penalty on employers would be the subsequent, substantial rise in the price of basic goods in the short run. It's going to piss a lot of people off when Subway starts charging 40 cents for extra lettuce on their subs.

Luckily, this is a long-run kind of world, and I'm sure the Jamaican farmers who are losing their sugar deal with the EU would love to open up to our market by switching crops.

And Dusty, here in Iowa the kids pick corn all the time. Great summer job, even if you're twelve.

The Alamo reference is kind of appropriate: the fighting was because anglos in Tejas did not want to be part of Mexico (in large part because of bad changes in the Mexican government, but still).

If you're even in San Antonio, take the Alamo tour; it's interesting. Especially because it demolishes the little myth of Texas, the independent country. Yes, Texas was a republic for a brief time - but only because it was more politically palatable for the US for Texas to break off from Mexico and be independent for a while before becoming a state, which was always the actual goal.

The ignorance on that site is painful to see. I particularly like the discussion of food production: we don't really need those migrant workers toiling away, because the US exports food! Um, not if nobody is there to pick lettuce, folks.

What if prison wardens polled prisoners and invited those who were willing to harvest crops for a nominal salary?
My guess is, many of them would love to be outdoors, making a little commissary money.

JEEZ LEWEEZ PSP, it's nearly as BAD as the impending BIRD FLU, or WMD's, or QUEEERS MARRYING, or....I guess it must be pretty BAD or those nice mothers wouldn't have that horrible right wing website, would they?

Your wobbly friend Natch.
