Illegal Mexicans do what now?

Well, I'm in a particularly [link|http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/marlowe/tolerance.html|intolerant] mood lately, and [link|http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/I/IMMIGRATION_RALLIES?SITE=7219&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2006-03-25-02-15-35|here's why].

Excerpt:

"We construct your schools. We cook your food," rapper Jorge Ruiz said after performing at a Dallas rally that drew 1,500. "We are the motor of this nation, but people don't see us.

I say:

We *do* see you. And I really [link|http://www.immigrationinsanity.com/web/newsperm.682|wouldn't bring all that up] if I were you.

Excerpt:

Many protesters said lawmakers were unfairly targeting immigrants who provide a major labor pool for America's economy.
I say:

I told you [link|http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/krikorian200401070923.asp|not to bring that up].

Excerpts:

"They are picking on the weakest link in society, which has built this country."

...
"When did you ever see a Mexican blow up the World Trade Center? Who do you think built the World Trade Center?" said David Gonzalez, 22, who marched in Los Angeles with a sign that read, "I'm in my homeland.'"

I say:

Say *what* now?

I've never been one to gush all Rousseau-esque over primitive cultures, but I do believe in giving credit where it's due. The World Trade Center was built by [link|http://www.npr.org/about/press/020619.mohawk.html|these guys.]

Excerpt:

Walking High Steel delves into the 120-year history of a small community of Mohawk Indian ironworkers, renowned for their ability to work high steel. They helped shape the Manhattan skyline, contributing to the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center and the World Trade Center. Six generations of Mohawks framed the nation's skyscrapers and bridges, "booming out" to cities across the U.S. - to California to build the Golden Gate Bridge; to Chicago to build the Sears Tower.

I say:

If Mexicans are such great builders, why has the world's tallest building never been in Mexico City?

Mr. Gonzalez, if you're not a citizen, if you have no interest in becoming a citizen, and you don't even respect our laws, then this is *not* your homeland. You are, to put it bluntly, an invader.

Now, I'm not against invaders necessarily. Sometimes countries need to be invaded to help slap them into shape. But even if the U.S. needed an invasion right now, Mexicans are not the ones to do it. They simply don't rate. Let them fix their own messed up country first, then maybe they can impose their will upon others.

The illegal Mexicans are invaders, and not the good kind. They're not here to fix the country. They're here to export their own domestic problems. We don't need their frickin' problems. We've got enough of our own.

Oh, and the 9/11 terrorists *were* illegal aliens. Shall we discriminate on the basis of race, or shall we just crack down on all illegals?

These massive demonstrations are intimidation tactics, pure and simple. The question is: will we be intimidated?

Speaking as the grandson of a man who waded across the border without benefit of formalities 90 years ago, I encourage this sort of thing from the bot and his buds.
