E.T. Go Home!

The Whole Wheat Blogger proclaims: "I will never support open borders, and I will never support amnesty for illegal aliens."

However, I bet he'll support the American agricultural industry by eating some lettuce or grapes. Also, I don't notice that anybody supports higher housing costs of which many Mexicans help to keep in check by providing cheap (back breaking) labor.

But, every mojado in a car crash must mean were all here just to shoot our six guns, drink tequila and have sex with your family.

Still, I respect the Whole Wheat Blogger and his opinions but I'd like to have a little immigration primer for any white person who wants to speak intelligently on the subject:

• "You aren't against immigration, you're against 'ILLEGAL' immigration." This statement is a cop-out. This means that you like the nerdy Asian guy in your office who kisses your ass but you're scared to be in a Mexican neighborhood for anything other than purchasing Meth or picking up tamales. It's like saying you like rap music but hate rhyming. Most (almost all) immigrants in this country are illegal . . . This is why lawmakers are working to remedy a system that is broken, doesn't meet the demands of the U.S. labor market and MISTAKENLY categorizes undocumented workers as illegal when their employment, residency and contribution to this nation tacitly implies that undocumented workers do, in fact, have a place in this country. Call it a de facto standard in much the same way gung ho Americans want English to be considered the official language of this country. (Note: In actuality the official language of this country is Ebonics.)


• "My forefathers came to this country legally." No they didn't. Unless I see passport with a Native American stamp on it then your white relatives were the beneficiaries of genocide and theft. Only Black people can use this excuse because their "immigration" (read: kidnapping and enslavement) was perfectly legal according to the slave owners who founded this country. On a more serious note, a guy at the end of a dock with a clipboard does not equal SUVs, automatic weapon carrying border agents and helicopters with night vision.
  


• "I'm not racist" Now this is just funny. It's like someone trying to claim they're not crazy; you seldom take their word for it. There is nothing more comical than a white person vehemently denying they are racist because the simple fact that you felt you needed to mention it means that you're probably racist.


• Finally, before you get all high and mighty about "the rule of law" and other stuff that nobody believes when it comes time to steal cable please remember that the grandparents of this country's top cop were most likely illegal immigrants.
  

You've been schooled. Now please go and enjoy your burrito.
