More on illegals and May day....i agree with this guy, wanted to share it!?

About a century ago, I dated a lady I'll call Louise. Louise had one of

those little yap-yap dogs. Now, Louise was a smart, kind lady. She loved

her dog, but she had rules. Bowzer was not allowed on the couch.

So, we'd be sitting on the couch, eating popcorn, and Bowzer would be

on the floor in front of us, begging to get up with us. "No, no, Bowzer;

not on the couch."

But a few minutes later, she would look into his big brown eyes and say,

"OK, OK; but JUST THIS ONCE." And up he would come. "JUST THIS ONCE."

When we'd leave to go out somewhere, she would admonish him, "Be a good

boy. And DON'T GET ON THE COUCH." But sure enough, when we got home,

there he was, lying comfortably on the couch. "Bad dog; bad dog!" Louise

cried. Then she popped him on the rear end; off the couch he would go.

A few minutes later, she would feel guilty and take him into the kitchen

for a treat.

Later, we'd do the couch thing, and it would happen again... "OK, OK;

but JUST THIS ONCE."

And when we came back from somewhere, of course, there he would be.

Now, why, when Bowzer knew the rules.... why did he continue to get on

the couch?

Well, of course. Bowzer knew that the rules did not matter. He had no

respect for the rules. He knew that there was no penalty for disobeying

them. So he did exactly what he wanted to do.

This is simple stuff, isn't it, folks?

But what does this have to do with illegal immigration?

Well, how is this, in any way, different than how our government has

treated illegal aliens?

In 1986, President Reagan signed a bill giving amnesty to illegal

aliens. "This is a one-time thing. It does not represent a

precedent."

"Just this once."

And 20 years later, they continue to flow into this country, in

ever-increasing numbers. And we continue to do nothing.

Why? Simple stuff, huh?

So, what are we going to do about it this time? Well, nothing, of course

-- just like we did 20 years ago. A lot of talk, a "guest-worker"

program, threats and promises. In other words, nothing.

Will this finally stop the invasion of our country?

Don't be silly.

The illegal aliens entering this country have no respect for our

laws. They know there is no penalty for breaking them. They know that we

do not enforce them. That is why they are so willing not only to enter

this country illegally, but also to violate other laws when they get

here. They do not respect our laws.... for very logical reasons.

And that is why they are willing to skip work and school on Monday and

hold illegal protests. They do not respect our laws, our customs... not

even our national anthem.

And what does our government do about this? Nothing.

This is so simple..... and yet, do you ever hear this argument in the

mainstream press?

Of course not.

And you know something else? We (American citizens) do not respect these

laws, either. We know that the government does not enforce them. But

instead of benefiting from this illegal activity, we are paying the

price for it.

Little wonder, then, that there is such a lack of respect up and down our

societal structure.

We should be outraged. And we should be outraged at any politician who

advocates more of the same.

The biggest price that we pay is that neither the illegal aliens nor

the American people respect the government and its leaders. The

unwillingness of our government to enforce the laws and punish those who

break them erodes the confidence of the people in the government at all

levels.

The Vermont Treatment

Nobody presented a serious challenge to the solution I offered to

the illegal immigration problem. In fact, most people who wrote to us

were just as outraged as I am. I believe that our elected representatives

are seriously misreading the sentiment in this country. And I believe it

will show at the ballot box in November. (Though the way it will likely

show is in the form of a miserably low turnout.)

A few people chided me for what I call the "Vermont treatment." My

solution puts aliens who have entered this country illegally on a

short leash. Their rights are restricted, and any significant violation

of our laws would result in the Vermont Treatment -- exile in Vermont,

with Howard Dean providing medical care, Janet Reno giving lessons on the

law, and Ted Kennedy providing taxi service. I offered that factitious

solution because, frankly I do not care what we do with them. But putting

them on a short leash is a from of punishment -- like probation. We

simply do not have enough prisons to incarcerate all of them, or those

who do not follow the rules. So, Vermont seems like a good place for

them. (My apologies to the good people of Vermont.... both of them.)

A couple people claimed that the "short leash" treats them like

second-class citizens. That's the point. They are NOT citizens. Because

they have broken our laws, they do not deserve to be citizens. Like a

teenager with a probationary driver's license, they are not entitled to

all of the rights. As I have written before, if you want to become a

citizen of the United States and enjoy all of the rights of citizenship,

go back home, apply, and get in line, like everyone else.

May Day

Let's see now... the illegal aliens are going to show their value and

patriotism by not showing up for work on Monday, by demonstrating in the

streets, and demanding their "rights."

And how are we responding to this threat? Well, by closing down

businesses and schools, that's how. We are no better than the government;

we are accommodating deviant behavior, further diminishing the laws,

customs and rules of our country.

So, this will become another annual American holiday... coinciding with

the celebration (May 1) of Karl Marx. How appropriate.

But unfortunately, the aliens are missing the point completely. If

they want to protest; if they want to demand something, they should be

protesting in Mexico City, not on the streets of the most generous, the

most free, and the most prosperous country on Earth.

Shame on them! http://www.bbhq.com/thisweek.htm
