OK, maybe I'm just failing to see something here, so I wanted to get the opinions of some other people. I mean, maybe I'm just seeing this wrong, but IS IT TRUE that what I'm seeing on TV is the following?

1. Illegal aliens protesting having to pay taxes while they demand tax payers educate their children in America
2. Illegal aliens protesting having to pay back taxes in the form of a fine.
3. Illegal aliens protesting having to learn English so that we don't spend billions of dollars per year on translation services.
4. People who are protesting something that they know nothing about (having signs like "Aqui Estamos y no nos vamos" (Here we are and we aren't going).

Excuse me, we don't want you to go - but, if you choose to protest having to pay taxes while driving down our streets and educating your children through our education system, then WHY ARE YOU OPPOSED TO THIS????? If you don't want to pay taxes........LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's just as simple as that!!

Am I not seeing something here?????????

 

The sad fact is, when they are allowed to stay in some form or other, it won't be for any protests by liberals, it will be because our politicians including Bush have their lips planted on the behinds of business interests at the expense of their own citizens.

 

Yup... remember NAFTA

 

This sounds familiar to what we have in Britain.

A little story for you.

UK AND AMERICA TODAY

CLASSIC VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away..

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

THE END

THE MODERN VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away...
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

So far, so good, eh?

The shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate, like him, are cold and starving. ABC News shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper, with cuts to a video of the ant in his comfortable warm home in L.A. with a table laden with food.

The public are stunned that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so while others have plenty.

The Anti-War Party, the Respect Party, the Transvestites with Starving Babies Party, the Single Lesbian One Eyed Mothers Party and the Coalition against Poverty demonstrate in front of the ant's house. ABC, interrupting a Rastafarian cultural festival special, with breaking news, broadcasts them singing "We Shall Overcome."

Jesse Jackson laments in an interview with Geraldo that the ant has got rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share". In response, the
Government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti-Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant's taxes are reassessed, and he is also fined for failing to hire
grasshoppers as helpers. Without enough money to pay the fine and his
newly imposed retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated.

The ant moves to Europe, and starts a successful AgriBiz company [funded by the EU] (although within weeks, his business is threatened with compulsory purchase by the state unless he marries a French ant).

ABC later shows the now fat grasshopper finishing up the last of the
ant's food, though Spring is still months away, while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he hasn't bothered to maintain it.

Inadequate government funding is blamed, Hilary Clinton is appointed to head a commission of enquiry that will cost $10,000,000.00.

The grasshopper is soon dead of a drug overdose; the Press blames it on the obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social inequity. The abandoned house is taken over by a gang of immigrant spiders, praised by the government for enriching the countries multicultural diversity, who promptly set up a marijuana growing operation and terrorize the community.


THE END

 

THAT WAS AWESOME.

 

Well done, EA.

MR

 

It was a cut and paste from a British car forum.
I just changed the names to make it applicable for the USA.

Same old **** that we have though :o

 

This is the part that I think is ridiculous. Just because they have a child born in this nation, their child should NOT be an American! By the government allowing this, those families get funds that they are not paying for (taxes).

 

Bruce Springsteen might have something to say about that.

 

If you can make sense of what he's saying without the E-Street Band there to translate to human.

 

"Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the U.S.A.
I was, born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I was, born in the U.S.A."

Something like that, I think.

 

I think he took a couple of "kicks" too many.

 

That's true, but then again Mr. Springsteen's parents are American.

 

Well- All I know is that this has really pissed me off...

I'm all for it, the fence, the felony, all of it...
If you want to come here, then got-dammit, come here legally.
If you're sneaking across the border to get here, then I think you deserve whatever you get...

If it were me, I'd put land mines out there... But, that's just me.
If we're blocking Cubans and Hatians on the boats, then why should the land route be wide open?

 

Excuse me, we don't want you to go - but, if you choose to protest having to pay taxes while driving down our streets and educating your children through our education system, then WHY ARE YOU OPPOSED TO THIS????? If you don't want to pay taxes........LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's just as simple as that!!
