Bollocks!


Speaking as the scion of immigrants…

Ya know what gentle reader? I have a mas macho beefe with Felipe and his pathetic scolding last week. Yes you know the ones. First, there was the one made on the Whitehouse lawn while BHO assisted in heaping scorn on the Republic he swore to defend, not dismantle. Then there was the tortured little screed delivered in the presence of the most corrupt, sycophantic bevy of weasels to stink up Capitol Hill since our Republic’s birth. How dare you sir, step on American soil to excoriate her citizens. Before scolding us for our audacity to define or borders and defend our laws, you need to take a good hard look in the mirror there, El Jefe.

Mr. Calderon’s diatribe is quickly hoisted on its own petard upon examination of his own view of unchecked migration. In Mexico, you had better had your papers in close proximity as authorities will quickly determine you legal status in their sovereign state. Those there illegally will be summarily be deemed persona non-grata and given a ride to the border. Or worse, they may find themselves at the mercy of corrupt authorities who’ll exploit their status. Being convicted of illegal immigration in Mexico carries up to a two-year jail term and repeat offenders may find themselves incarcerated for up to ten years.

Legal immigrants in Calderon’s Mexico must pass a stiff muster. To immigrate, one must have job offer letter in hand, or possess an independent source of wealth. There are no “bilingual public services” or “Spanish as a second language” programs in the schools for the crumb crunchers. The legal alien in Mexico has no political voice. Were they to gather up the grapes to found their on version of “The Race” (La Raza), their status would be immediately revoked and they’d be standing in El Paso, Brownsville or San Diego.

So by way of comparison, the Illegal in our Republic gets the keys to the fridge and mini-bar, the Illegal on el Jefe’s side gets the business. The legal resident alien, on this side enjoys the privileges of a constitutional republic, the legal resident alien on that side is told to cork his piehole or start packing.

President Calderon’s true beef becomes evident once one takes a cursory look at the economic picture of Mexico. In terms of revenue, Mexico’s primary income source is derived from oil exports. Its second source is derived from wire transfers, money orders and plain old cash that’s brought back or sent back by those illegally resident in the United States. Strip away his egalitarian claptrap, and we see its all about the ‘Benjamins.

Mr. Calderon, I say bollocks to your strawman beef against the law-abiding citizens of Arizona. Mr. President, stop with the apology tour and start upholding the oath of President of the United States of America. Stop using every opportunity to take a swipe at the Republic which duly elected you.
