Okay....Gotta get in this one(yeah, like controversy ain't my middle freakin' name around here).....
FIRST...Correction to "the American auto industries's decline": When the "Big Three" have to pay for their employees' health care benefits and their competition overseas have their employees' benefits supplied through their Government's "SOCIALIZED" system(with all the pluses and minuses in THAT equation...and I WON'T go into THAT right now)...less money is available to the american company's for each new model's R and D and quality control.
SOOOOOOOO......DON'T blame the american unionized line worker for this encumberance upon Motown's apparent inability to compete in today's marketplace.
Now to the main issue here......IMMIGRATION.....Okay...REALITY CHECK!!!
There's NO WAY in HELL that this government is going to "round 'em all up and send 'em all back"....so GET REAL!
And BESIDES...I DON'T want to ever live to see an american version of KRISTALLNACHT!!! And let me TELL YA somethin'..."Roundin' 'em up" could very likely become SIMILAR! And that AIN'T a good thing.
Is there a problem? You're D*mn RIGHT there is! And unfotunately for some who want an instant fix here...compromise WILL ensue. That's ALSO REALITY, and I'm kind'a GLAD about that in a way! Because WITHOUT COMPROMISE....BAD and NASTY THINGS HAPPEN, SEEEEEE?!!!
Now regarding this "RACIST THING". That TOO bothers the hell out of me every time I hear THAT inserted into this argument...THAT IS, until I remember to remind myself that those who use that card are usually FREAKIN' IDIOTS(regardless for their "race"), and I then remember to consider the source of that complaint.
NOW...that being said...I'll throw something out here that possibly COULD be contrued as "racist"...by ME...Well maybe a little JINGOISTIC at least!
But I would like people to THINK about this......
What I resent is that the "ASSIMILATION FACTOR" seems to have become absent and almost PASSE, in this whole equation.
YEP! So you wanna to live here, huh? WELLLLL, sorry partner! You'll have to read about "Dead White Men" to assimilate then, dude! THAT's just the way it IS, because those swingin' dicks back then started this here country back then and it STILL kind'a works, SEE? So what say we read about a SUCCESS STORY, HUH?)
AND, in THAT vein, let's ask the throngs of immigrant protesters who are now marching in the streets about this controversy, with the MEXICAN FLAG proudly flying above their heads...HEY! WHY the hell are you so freakin' proud of Mexico??? LOOK SOUTH DUDES! Can't you see IT just DOESN'T work very well down there, my friend, and THAT WHY your A$$ is here in the FIRST PLACE!!!
Now...If you REALLY enjoy working and living here with all the bennies that are at your disposal, GREAT! BUT you're waving the WRONG FREAKIN' FLAG, DUDE!!! And are you so freakin' clueless that you don't understand that you're undercutting your credibility and any possible political good will when you sport those "WRONG COLORS", MAN??? Now I realize that you're probably juuuuust a bit under-educated here...so maybe I should give ya a break on that one, huh?
So, IN CLOSING, I say, YES...our U.S. Government Officials DO have to do a BETTER JOB AT SECURING OUR BORDERS, because....as MUCH as I'd like to take in ALL those "Huddled Masses yearning to breathe free out there...I just can't afford it on my airline salary, buddy!!!!(Did I tell ya about my recent 11 percent PAY-CUT, dude?)
And THAT'S the REALITY!!!!
Cheers,
Dwight
