Immigration Lunacy

Everyone knows about the immigration debate. The happenings in Arizona, drug and people smuggling.... It's a never ending story. But, does it have to be? The Tea Party and many Republicans applaud the Arizona law. Why? Do they really think this stupid law will really help? I think it was just a ploy to keep the debate alive and make sure the far right as are angry as they can get. This debate isn't about the issue anymore, it's about emotions; on both sides. The Rep's are trying to piss each other off because of the November elections. It's all politics and not rational thinking.

See, the problem isn't so much about illegal immigration. The problem lies with the companies that hire these folks. The problem is with the U.S. citizens who buy the drugs that are smuggled here. Many Progressives (including me) want the businesses that hire illegal immigrants jailed, fined, or shut down. Rep's don't. It's ironic how they talk about Reaganomics and the trickle down theory. Well, it goes both ways. The trickle down theory would work better with the immigration problem. If we dried up the jobs, arrested the owners/managers that hired illegal immigrants, there wouldn't be such an influx of people illegally crossing the border. Why? Because there would be no reason for them to come. But, I tell you this... The Rep's don't want owners punished. They WANT illegal immigration because they know that their base HIRES illegal immigrants. They know that those business leaders NEED the cheap labor that illegal immigrants do, and no one else wants to do. Farmers, ranchers, restaurants, warehouses, mom and pop stores of all kinds. Many of these owners/managers think they are Republicans, but more than that... They are hypocrits. As for the drug smuggling.... As long as there is a market for an illegal drug, it will be produced in other countries and sold here. No matter how many fences are built, silly cameras, Border Patrol, Military, Minute Men... etc. Criminals will find a way to sell their 'goods'. All of these illegal activities have to start from the top. From the business owners that hire illegal immigrants to the Chiefs of the drug cartels. Only then will we see a drop in illegal immigration.

Glen Beck is an Idiot

You know... I do a lot of reading. I love to read about sports, politics, science, religion and whatever else appears interesting. I read some things this morning that either made me laugh out loud waking my sleeping daughter; made me mad; or I shook my head and just said "are you kidding me?" The Tea Party voice; Glen Beck - has said some pretty stupid things on his program. I know some of these items are old, but wow. He actually accused the President of The United States as a racist. Then later, he accuses the first Muslim U.S. Represetative of being an enemy, only because of Ellison's beliefs. He said that he's sick of 9/11 victims being on TV and he wants them to shutup! He called Katrina victims 'scumbags'. The list goes on and on. It's hard to believe that anyone could listen to this idiot. Oh wait... Republicans do, and they buy into Beck's nonsense. Nevermind.

Carry on.

Who side are Cants on any ways?

I guess if you want Monopoly’s and want the rich to be the ruling factor you would think of “progressives ” as a cancer, since it is progressives who want a fair market and a competitive market. We know from recent history cants talk about free markets but do everything in their power to stifle it. They do not believe  in a free market, they believe in a market they control and do everything in their power to kill the innovations of the future. In fact we are seeing that ideology at work today with the oil spill in the coast.  We are seeing with our own eyes in real time the harm oil is doing to us as a people and to our nation, but cants are standing with oil trying to stifle any new energy ideas coming forward, it is in cant interest to keep the US on oil, and buying oil from countries and people who do not like us. You always hear cants question the “patriotism” of liberals, progressives and anyone else they do not agree with, but shouldn’t we be questioning their loyalty, when it is their passion to keep us enslaved to an industry that at times hates the American people  and its culture, makes you actually think about who side the cants are on.
