How To End Illegal Immigration Once And For All In The U.S.

With today's news of the death of Indianapolis Colts player Edwin Jackson by a drunk driver who was in the country illegally (twice deported already), it got me thinking about what we need to do to stop illegal immigration.

First- Do what's been widely proposed by Trump and the conservatives- Build The Wall.

When I say Build The Wall, I mean build a common sense southern border. Build physical barriers where needed and feasible and use other means where it makes more sense. Increase border patrol resources- support these good people! Stop as many as you can before they physically enter the country.

Second- Vet visa applicants and restrict visas for high risk countries. It's not racist to want to keep high risk people out. Period.

Increase enforcement of visa over-stays. Track them down. This is currently not being done.

The Victim Card

Fact: Having been a victim at one point in your past does not make you a victim in perpetuity. It doesn't make you immune from being called out on your hypocrisy for your actions (or inaction) now.

If members or your race, gender, or ethnicity are now or have ever been legitimately victimized, but you personally have not, you cannot play the victim card by extension.

What The "Border Baby" Really Says About Mexico

Hey, Mexico Sucks! Let me in por favor!  Oh, and Viva Mexico!

A couple of weeks ago a 65 foot tall billboard of a Mexican baby overlooking the U.S. border appeared on the Mexican side. It was made by a French "artist" supposedly to spur discussion on immigration.

Well it got me thinking about the whole immigration issue with Mexico including DACA, anchor babies, etc.

It seems to me that the argument- if you can call it that- from the left basically boils down to: Mexican citizens should be able to work here, send money back home, no documentation or controls. After all, they "do the jobs American's refuse to do" right?

They should also be able to stay here as long as they want, send their kids to American schools (at American taxpayer expense). They should be eligible for welfare and Medicaid (also at American taxpayer expense). No need to worry about becoming citizens, or even registering as resident aliens under a visa system. Just come and go as you please.

Also, there should be no requirement or even expectation for any sort of assimilation. No need to learn English of course, we'll pander to them in Spanish. Anything else would be considered bigoted and xenophobic.

Perhaps most importantly, they should be allowed to vote. After all, they live here and work here, so logic dictates they should vote (for Democrats of course).

Basically, come and go as you please. Use America's resources as you wish. Contribute if you wish. Just make sure to vote.

The attitude from many Mexicans seems a bit more clear and simple- "Let me in because Mexico is a dangerous shit-hole with a terrible economy, crumbling infrastructure, and tenuous rule of law that can't support or protect it's citizens."

Then once in the U.S. the sense of entitlement takes over and it's pretty much "Fuck you Gringo! There are millions of us here. It's our country now. Oh, and Viva Mexico!"

Viva Mexico!

So yesterday (Sept 16th) was Mexico's independence day. All over the United States there were parades and public celebrations full of Mexican expatriates waving Mexican flags and loudly proclaiming "Viva Mexico!" at the tops of their lungs. Much Bud Light was consumed.

There were also coordinated protests against President Trump and his (sort of) ending of DACA- the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program started by President Obama.

Former Mexican Presidente Vicente Fox even took the opportunity for yet another rant against Trump for treating so badly the millions of his people who had to leave the wonderful, just, and kind country he ran for our cruel, racist, xenophobic, Nazi run hell hole in America to be our brown minimum wage slaves.

Viva Mexico! Green Cards For Everyone!

Every year during Mexico Independence day and Cinco de Mayo when Mexican citizens (some here legally and others not) choose to celebrate their "great" homeland on American soil, I can't help but think about the fact that if Mexico is so wonderful, why do millions of it's citizens feel the need to leave it for the U.S.A.?

The answer of course is obvious. It just seems silly and incredibly disrespectful to their adopted country that our politicians continue to tell us they love and want to make their home. Doesn't it?

Millennial Wars Episode IV - A New Hope

I get really depressed at the reality that our future is in the hands of Millennials. I mean, come on, they're fucking idiots.

But every once in a while there is a glimmer of hope. Hope that there are a few of them who actually "get it" and aren't the lock-step mindless morons who willingly enslave themselves to Liberal PC culture.

I saw this video and young women like this keep that hope alive in me.

The Colin Kaepernick Contorversey - My Two Cents

I'm not going to go too in depth here as I don't think Colin Kaepernick is worth that much of my time. I just want to make a few points.

First is that Colin Kaepernick has every right under our First Amendment to say what he wants and protest as he wishes. Apparently the NFL has no problem with his sit down protest, it's not against their rules, and it sounds like the SF 49er's are OK with it as well. They issued a statement saying so. Also, Kaepernick is not alone in his feelings. Lots of other (mainly Black) NFL players have come out in support of him.

That all said, I personally think Colin Kaepernick is an ignoramus and a world class asshole. His whole protest is based on a false premise, the widely discredited assumption that the police forces in America are full of overtly racist officers who are hunting down young Black men in the streets and assassinating them with impunity. This is absolute nonsense that has been repeated so often by the media and Black community leaders that a large number of the Black (and white) community believe it to be true. Colin Kaepernick is possibly stupid, but definitely ignorant if he believes it.

As for his choice to protest over what he believes, as I said, he definitely has that right. But the choices we make have consequences. By protesting in the manner he has chosen and the anti patriotic statements he has made, he has insulted a large portion of the population. He seems to know this and simply does not care.

In my opinion, I think the answer is simple. If Kaepernick has offended you, take action by not supporting him. Don't go to 49er's games as long as he is on the team. Don't buy 49er's merchandise. Don't patronize anyone who sponsors him. He will go away and fade into oblivion soon enough. He's a sub par quarterback who the 49er's couldn't even trade off over the summer. He's simply not worth any more time or media attention.

Colin Kaepernick and his adopted parents

Just one more personal note- Colin Kaepernick is mixed race. His biological mother is white and his father is black. His father just split before he was born like too many Black men do after they father a child. His mother gave him up for adoption as she was only 19 at the time. He was adopted into a middle class white family ad raised in a loving home among whites in white neighborhoods and white schools. He's taken those opportunities and made himself millions. Now Colin talks about 'his people' and 'The Struggle'. He rails against the injustices against Black people 'like him'. He is a disrespectful hypocrite- a self absorbed man-child not deserving of a fraction of the attention he's getting.

Why is it OK for some groups???

Why is it OK for some groups to show pride in their heritage and culture and take measures to exclude those who are different to protect it while others cannot?
