I’m getting pretty sick-and-tired of this illegal immigration shit that we are forced to hear about in California, Arizona and elsewhere. Let’s face it – this country belonged to The 500 Nations before the encroachment of the White Man, and, it seems like Mexico’s interests and influences stretched all-the-way to what is now the state of Washington. So, in the famous words of some anonymous Mexican (perhaps even a Mexican-American!?): “What do you mean I’m illegal? I’ve been here the entire time – you just moved the border on me!”
Now we learn that California Governor Wannabee, Meg Whitman, employed an illegal alien, (who apparently duped an employment agency along with Meg and her husband) and that this disclosure might cost Meg the gubernatorial victory to septuagenarian, Gerry Brown. I certainly don’t want to get into the politics of-the-matter (as I, too, employed an illegal for-a-year-or-so [and perhaps another for-a-couple-of-years {but I can’t be sure because she is now in prison on a murder charge}]) – but I do question the arrogance of the LEGAL American citizen pointing the finger at someone else and saying: “You didn’t enter this country legally.” Obviously every non-native American has entered this country illegally, and, suggesting in retrospect – that there was some arbitrary point-in-time that certain people might be considered legal entrants; and others would have to enter the country in a certain prescribed fashion; and, that still others could be deemed illegal –well…well…well, it just smacks of an unenlightened ethno-centrism.
I enjoy the comic strips La Cucaracha (penned by a Mexican American, Lalo Alacaraz) and Candorville (penned by an African American, Darrin Bell) in my morning Times (which has been arriving late, again!) – immensely — (though at times – both authors can be rather obtuse). Lately, La Cucaracha has been dealing with Arizona’s racial profiling and California’s ongoing vicissitudes with regards to its stance on illegals (this will all stop when California is owned by foreigners [and as California goes – so goes the-rest-of-the-country]). Meanwhile, the business section of The Times suggests that the good ol’ dollar is on the verge of being devalued (which will make California and the rest of the U.S. that much easier to purchase [as I have just suggested]) – which segues almost seamlessly into Candorville’s current theme: that the collapse of the empire is imminent. All-the-while, Doonesbury is suggesting that Obama is on tranquilizers (chill pills), and not only hasn’t accomplished anything as Prez, but probably won’t — like there is anything he could do…except…except…well, except put America up-for-sale.
I thought that this was “The Melting Pot.” Where all-of-the-metals are combined to form an alloy that we call: The American — a country founded on a democratic vision, that now (actually probably since Truman – has been replaced by a capitalist aristocracy.
I think that we Americans should be much more worried about the de-evaluation of the American Dollar and the welfare state that surrounds us. Let’s face it: the middle class is about to disappear, and, we could be headed for that 2-class state (that I remember so vividly from my trips to Brazil: the rich and the poor).
Elsewhere I have written that Australia will be the “last refuge” for the White Man. Ja, it probably will – because if the White Man hasn’t noticed…he is sorely outnumbered by people of color.
