Chinga La Migra

If there is something as offensive as the wannabe Jim Crow-recreators of the allegedly conservative wings of the Republican and Libertarian parties regarding undocumented immigration, it would be burning crosses in Harlem and painting swastikas on synagogues in Brooklyn.

A few days ago one caller to a radio show suggested cattle cars...CATTLE CARS! as a means of repatriating undocumented immigrants to Latin American nations.

Oy. Vey. Let's see, twelve million people being "repatriated," cattle cars, cyclone fences, all of which have a cost benefit analysis lying around in Wannsee, Germany. There is a better idea to be had.

Let's get rid of a smaller population of wasteful people who cost the American Taxpayer piles of money and produce nothing of value. Right-wing congressmen who have sold this Nation's future to the Chinese in the form of US Treasury securities, while borrowing vast sums for pork-barrel programs, should be deported.

First on the list should be Tancredo, Sensenbrenner, Kyl, and Hastert. People who cook, clean, build homes and pick onions should be first in line for their assets. Honestly, which is more the American dream, a guy who busts his hump at a difficult job all day, buys a home and a car, and raises a family while staying out of jail, or the bureaucrat following orders and pushing papers in an air-conditioned office in a major city trying to throw the dude out?

Authoritarian cretins love papers, documents, and procedures. They were great friends of Nazis and Soviets alike. Anything that can be used to marginalize initiative and make bureaucracy an obstacle to success is okay by an Authoritarian.

Thomas Jefferson must be taching about 8 grand under Monticello. It is extremely telling when John McCain, Ted Kennedy, Newt Gingrich, Joe Lieberman, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton all fall on the same side of an issue. Our nation is falling rapidly into a spin of authoritarian rhetoric, and reasonable minds are disregarded as kooks.

Yes, we should take steps to secure our border, but we are obligated to treat those who have contributed to our society with dignity while we create incentives for assimilation. It's what America stands for.

Our nation must not accept anything less, or we find ourselves at risk of becoming just another land of paper tolerance, and frankly, who the heck wants to live in France?

Oh, and by the way, to our old friends the Socialists...where are the people illegally entering Cuba and Venezuela?
