JOBS AMERICANS CAN'T WORK
Not WON'T Work
We hear it every other day--America needs the Mexicans to do the jobs that Americans won't do anymore. It is just another lie meant to malign, degrade, and paint Americans as lazy, spoiled, and too high falutin' to do "real" work anymore.
And, yes, I said it's a lie. The jobs we work today have nothing to do with "won't" and everything to do with "can't."
After all, we're the real Americans... that means we have to pay for things that immigrants--including/especially illegals--get for free so long as they have a pulse and a sob story.
There's free food, subsidized housing, reduced mortgages, food stamps, free medical and education, reduced tuition and suspension of out of state tuition fees--all of this is your reward for breaking the law, but only if you aren't already an American. If you're an American, forget about it; you have to pay your way through life. This is your reward for obeying the law.
Americans have to pay full price for their education, medical care, homes, and on top of that, our taxes go to pay for criminals--that is what illegal aliens are, make no mistake: they are criminals--who get all of that for little or even for nothing. This makes it possible--even easy--for them to work for $10 an hour or less. How many of us could afford to work for peanuts IF our homes, medical, food and education were all paid for? I know that the bulk of our bills are student loans and medical; take away those bills and you take away 90% of our debt. And I know too many people my age in the same boat...so calling it a national epidemic is probably an understatement.
Please tell me...how did we go from being the greatest nation on earth to the biggest sucker on earth? Compassion is one thing, but this is NOT compassion, this is lunacy. If the giver of the gift gives everything away, how is that helping the receiver? And for that matter, how is that helping the giver? We are a kind and good nation; we like the underdog, the little guy, the blood-and-guts fighter who will do anything to get to a free nation. I've always admired those who sacrifice so much to come to America. They are the ones who built us...they are what America is all about.
To pretend, however, that this is still the case isn't just stupid, it is evil. Our borders are no longer seen as the last hope for oppressed people. They are used to destroy us. We can no longer perpetuate the idea that everyone coming in is good; quite the contrary. The desire to be part of the "great nation" is no longer the motivating force for far too many immigrants. Bringing America down has become at best a sport for nations and at worst a conspiracy between nations. One of the biggest reasons that Rome fell was the flipped pyramid--there were more being supported at the top than there were doing the supporting at the bottom. I'm no engineer, but even I know that such an unstable structure could never last. We are the new Rome, and heading, I fear, for the same fate.
Even the so-called "benign" immigrant--those who truly do just want to come here to better themselves--is destroying us. They still use and abuse our social programs to the point that many hospitals have closed and many states are bankrupt. They just want to eat, to live, like all of us... I understand that. But we are drowning now, and if we don't save ourselves, then everyone dies.
We can't do it, people, we simply can't do it. And beyond that, we shouldn't have
to be doing what the leaders of greedy regimes won't even do for their own people. I know this is a hard thing, but it is a necessary thing. We have to do it; it is not wrong to save or defend ourselves from fiscal abuse and malevolent cults. It is OK to do it, so let's do it now. It isn't racist, cruel, or even against nature for an overburdened animal to shrug off the mantle and care for itself.
Look, we'd all just love it if our way could be paid. It is natural for all animals to seek the path of least resistance. But what makes us more than mere animals is our ability to overcome adversity and even thrive. This is what builds men--this is what builds nations, good nations. If we continue in this suicidal direction, the oppressed of the world won't have to worry about whether or not we're racist--their race in this life will be over, and there will be no America to save them then. Is that the goal--no America? It is the ambition of our enemies; they don't need our help. Let's at least deprive them of that.
Keep the faith, bros, and in all things courage.
After all, we're the real Americans... that means we have to pay for things that immigrants--including/especially illegals--get for free so long as they have a pulse and a sob story.

"Please tell me...how did we go from being the greatest nation on earth to the biggest sucker on earth?"
Our government turned on "real" Americans, the decendents of the American Revolution, long ago. Every culture is to be celebrated and respected, but not ours. They deny we even have one.
After all, "we are all imigrants", no matter how many generations of us have been born, built, fought, and become the envy and destination of every usurper on earth.
Now every race that washes ashore here is entitled to congregate and seperate themselves from the whole, and is honored, but not us. That would make us racist.
I know my only reason for working is to have medical coverage, in order to have medical coverage worth anything I can't work a part-time or menial job. I would love to be in a position to be able to go into partial retirement, but I can't afford it because of medical.
Ya know this rant rings hollow especially comparing Cancun,
To New Orleans,
I don't mind helping people in their "hour of need"
What I resent is helping for a decade of need.
I hear that even Mexicans won't clerk at Quickie-Mart.
No Muslims, No Slurpies.
Huh it seems that some immigrants to some Americans are not "American enough"(i.e dependent on the govt.)
Vietmanese evacuees shun shlters-Sticking together cuts them off from government aid
You got any close relatives still calling you from NOLA?

Well stated. And our Washington government panders to our own cultural self-destruction...with taxpayer rights and money, to say nothing of what is left of our soverignty.
I'll have to give you one for that.
You're a slicky one.
I have no idea, but it seems that Cancun has a more competant govt. than New Orleans and Louisiana.
Sheesh the mayor of Cancun and Vincente Fox aren't blaming Hurrican Emily on Bush, like native born Americans blanco/nagin/landrieu are blaming President Bush for Katrina.
Please tell me...how did we go from being the greatest nation on earth to the biggest sucker on earth?
Abe Lincoln, followed by the 14th amendment. Been down hill ever since.
Next in line of dinks dragging us under has got to be Wilson and then FDR.
LBJ gets credit for inciting the immigration problem.
Jimmy Carter gets credit for kick starting Islam back into its role of trying to dominate the world.
Bubba Clinton only gets credit for being a circus freak.
I think I’m going to give Woodrow Wilson top honors though. Not only did he get us into WWI and end the Jeffersonian ideal of open and free trade but no entangling alliances, but he also initiated the League of Nations that then led to the U.N.
That’s how I call it. Anybody else got a good idea to toss about.
For the sake of context though and recent events (in the past 20 years) - no other single issue has caused more damage to the sovereignty, economy, security, and integrity of the United States than illegal immigration from Mexico.
==============
You're thinking clearly today. I knew you could.
It doesn't really matter how an individual feels about imigration, for or against it. I think it foolish however to ignore a government agenda and attitude towards it's most basic citizen.
Articles in Bloggers/Personal don't get a lot of traffic without pings, so...
