Huzzah! for John Kavanagh (AZ)! Reword the 14th Amendment now!

Representative John Kavanagh (R-AZ) is leading the way with proposed legislation to re-word the 14th Amendment, which was adopted in 1868 and states that citizenship be applied to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

"No comprende? Yes comprehende!" Mexico's catching on!

Mexico issued a travel alert to its citizens regarding visiting Arizona in response to that state's new immigration bill recently signed by Governor Jan Brewer. The government bulletin urged Mexican citizens to carry "available documentation … (to) avoid needless confrontation." Which is what Mexican visitors to the U.S. should be doing anyway. The only people that need to fear anything are those who are here illegally - Mexican, Irish, Russian, Serbian, British, etcetera.

Now, if Mexico would just issue an alert for the remaining 49 states...

AZ man finds out his property isn't his to protect.

Imagine you have property in California, New Mexico, Arizona, or Texas adjacent to the Mexican border. Imagine your property is used as a thoroughfare for illegal alien traffic. What would you do? One Arizona man has been fighting back - and now 16 illegal aliens are suing him.

According to court documents, one of the 16 illegal immigrants is a convicted felon deported from this country after a 1993 arrest by U.S. authorities on drug charges. Gerardo Gonzalez, described in a lawsuit brought by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) as a 38-year-old Mexican citizen, was convicted in September 1993 for possession of a controlled substance for sale and ordered deported to his home country.

The idea that this lawsuit even made it into our courts is a fucking joke. Face it, Americans...this is no longer just YOUR country. Get used to it.

Got kidney? Sorry, it might go to Pablo.

According to an October 29, 2008 Los Angeles Times article, Californian illegal immigrants account for about 1,350 of the 61,000 people on dialysis. Their treatment cost taxpayers $51 million last year. The investment in a single patient can easily top $1 million over time. The cost of one routine treatment is about $250. The cost of providing it in the emergency room can easily climb into the thousands of dollars, especially if the patient has to be admitted to the hospital.

I bring this up now because it was discussed on a local radio station last week - a woman in Orange County is still waiting for a kidney and brought up the LA Times article. Last year, 52 of the 1,912 kidney transplants in California were for illegal immigrants.

(Those are kidney BEANS. I was feeling hungry while I was blogging.)

I've blogged often on the illegal immigration issue in the United States. From May Day Celebrations, alien unionization, alien education, alien welfare, alien civil service, am I a racist?, border patrols, more alien handouts, alien amnesty, 26% of my payroll tax subsidizing aliens, what in the hell are aliens here in the first place, etc, etc. If you're not familiar with my stance, it's very simple - I want illegal aliens OUT of my country. Do not collect welfare or food stamps or a diploma at one of our many universities or have a baby at the nearest hospital that will take you. Just leave. Take some water and some foodstuffs to get you back over the border and stay out.

I'm all for people coming to our country to carve out a better life for themselves - as long as they follow our immigration laws. We CAN NOT SUPPORT THEM RIGHT NOW. How difficult is that to comprehend?

Take Marguerita Toribio, an illegal immigrant from Mexico. Roughly 2,000 times over the last 17 years (why didn't they take her into custody when they interviewed her for this story?) she has climbed into a cushioned recliner for the three-hour dialysis treatment that keeps her alive. She has never seen a bill. I feel bad for her condition. My Uncle Jerry had the same thing. But my Uncle Jerry was a U.S. citizen and paid taxes. Marguerita's treatment in California = more than $500,000, not including a kidney transplant in 1993. AND YOU PAID FOR IT.

Get this. A group of illegal immigrants sued Arizona in 2002 after the state attempted to cut off their dialysis. A judge told the state to keep treating them while the case was being decided. In a settlement last year, the state agreed to restore its policy of providing routine dialysis, but the settlement applies only to Arizona.

I'm still waiting for my worker's compensation case to be done and it's been almost 5 years since my accident and 2 years and 2 months of dealing with the bitch's insurance company. And I'm a U.S. motherfucking citizen! Give me a fucking break! (I apologize for swearing but that's what I do when people don't listen...I curse to those who are ignorant and arrogant.) And don't say, "well, it's our government's problem because they allowed illegal immigration to go on and on for so long". And don't tell me we have to help those less fortunate. No - not during times such as we're experiencing today. The reality is that the immigrants are here and they're illegal. And all the legislation in the world isn't going to help the problem because by the time our idiot politicians get around to doing something about it, another 10 years will have passed and the problem will be worse.

So fine. Weep for the less fortunate and all those illegals coming to the U.S. for a better life. Bleed your heart out for them. But the next time you're taking a piss, thank God you CAN. 'Cause if you can't and you need dialysis or a new kidney, you may have to wait behind an illegal alien, Amigo.

GREAT NEWS from the U.S. border front!

The Wall Street Journal reported today that the number of illegal immigrants apprehended along the U.S.-Mexico border is falling steeply, possibly a result of the economic downturn and beefed-up security which could be deterring crossings.

The U.S. Border Patrol reported that apprehensions are down 17% to 347,372 (which is still 347,372 too many) between Oct. 1, 2007 and March 31, 2008, from the same period a year before that. Tougher state laws, particularly in Arizona, is also cited as a reason.

Now I find this next point interesting. Francisco Lopez, a 43-year-old illegal immigrant who was interviewed by the WSJ, made about $50,000 a year transporting construction material - he's also the parent of two U.S.-born children - but his work dried up and now he drives taxi. First of all - excuse my French but I can't help it - why the fuck is this guy in my country? When the WSJ interviewed him, why wasn't he then arrested and deported? This guy says, "To live in America these days is to suffer...I'm not recommending to my friends back home to come here. I'm thinking of leaving myself".

Good. Nobody ASKED you to come here, believe me. Quite frankly, I'm glad you're suffering here. I'm suffering, too. So are a lot of other Americans WHO BELONG HERE, you asshole! If things are tough in America (where you shouldn't be), go back to your country. I'll drive you to the border. And if you think the illegals lined up outside your local Home Depot or wherever they line up for work are all friendly, happy-go-lucky compadres from "Me-hi-co", guess again - and watch this video.
