Warning: Rant Ahead

MAY DAY

I just heard an "ILLEGAL" immigrant tell a TV reporter that he's tired of being treated like an animal and that he has rights!!! Okay, what kind of animal is he relating to? A dog? A cat? A snake? (Or maybe a jackass!) Rights? What kind of rights does he have in a country that he entered ILLEGALLY?

Stop and think of the percentage of our tax dollars that go towards keeping these "animals" fed, sheltered and medicated. In what condition are the legal residents of Mississippi and Louisiana, a year and a half after Hurricane Katrina? What amount of money is being spent on ILLEGAL immigrants that should be going to legal residents - people who were born and raised here (of legal parentage!). That is without consideration of the color of their skin...I don't care.

Some participants were quoted as follows: "We want just reform," said Mayela Ruiz, an illegal immigrant. "I've been here 15 years. I've worked hard, paid my taxes. I've had no problems with the law and I'm afraid to leave my house. I want a law that would allow me to work and live in freedom but not like a slave." (If she hadn't come here ILLEGALLY, she wouldn't have to worry. Slave? What? Go home, then if you've got it so rough here~!)

"Us immigrants aren't pieces of trash, we're human beings," she said. "To be treated as less than human is a travesty." (Huh? Is she a psych major? She's being asked to obey the law!!! What's subhuman about that???)

Thomas Rodriguez, of Aurora, stood in Union Park wearing a shirt that said: "We are hard workers. We're not criminals! (Oh yeah? If you're here ILLEGALLY you sure as heck are!)

Some of the signs being used today: "I Demand Full Rights," and a child holding this one: "One more child asking for liberty for his parents." Aw, let's use the cute little kids as propaganda.

If you really feel that badly treated here, do me a huge favor: GO HOME! Now. This minute. Put down your signs, leave your ILLEGALLY gotten wages, your ILLEGALLY rented apartments, ILLEGALLY purchased homes, your ILLEGALLY gotten benefits, and just GO HOME. Wherever that may be.

You have been taught that you are being victimized. You have been lied to. You are a sucker. You have learned that entitlements are the easy way out. You live in my community and the majority of you work hard. I will give credit where credit is due. But you are still here ILLEGALLY and you are breaking the laws of the country from which you are demanding rights and entitlements, yet a large amount of you do not even bother or want to take the time to learn the language of that country! You expect me, born here 59 years ago, of parents born here also, to learn your lanaguage. And you demand respect? I don't think so! How dare you!!! If you really respect this wonderful country, take out paperwork and become a legal resident. Yes, it will take work and it will not be easy, but it will be legal and you will no longer be a criminal!

President Bush and the Congress: SECURE OUR BORDERS!!! Immediately. Now. Release the border agents imprisoned for shooting a drug runner in the butt (who received a payoff from our government!). Do NOT cave into people who are marching with their ILLEGAL children in their arms, hiding out in ILLEGAL sanctuary cities, trying to tug at sympathetic American heartstrings (we have always had big hearts...). They are blackmailing you and do not fall for it. Take care of your own first. Protect us before you allow this country to fall headlong into the largest blackmail plot in history. Have the courage to say "NO," and allow the law to stand as is and the courage to enforce it!
