On Monday, millions of illegal aliens and their supporters marched across America, demanding that they be afforded the right to live in the United States. They also demanded all of the rights that have been afforded to me and my family; rights such as education, medical, voting, government jobs, to name a few. Some even threatened that when they over-take America, all Gringos will be in trouble. They said that they have the right to be here just as my family has the right to be here even though they came here illegally. They have become sophisticated enough to wave the American flag instead of the Mexican flag or flag of their respective countries.
Now, I have no problems with people immigrating to this country and work towards a better life. I have no problem with people immigrating here legally. I also have no problem with people receiving an education, medical attention, jobs, housing, etc. I support people escaping oppressive governments, dictatorial governments, state sponsored terrorist governments, and genocidal governments.
Having said that, the recent turn of events have truly pissed me off. I remember reading an article about the immigration issue written by someone on this blog and did not respond because I did not make the time. I should have. Allow me to ask these foolish questions because no one out there is asking them. Is it possible for you to go to China and demand that you be made a citizen? Is it possible for me to go to Russian and demand medical services for my family? How about a little closer; can you go to Canada and demand the right vote? Can I go to Mexico and demand from the government, a college education for my child? Can you walk in front of a British, Spanish or French police officer, customs official, or immigration personnel as someone who was not legally invited and dare him/her to arrest you? Would France tolerate you singing their national anthem in English, or Spanish, or Dutch? Have we gone mad?
Am I making sense with my questioning? Are we Americans that stupid that we are willing to let our country become hi-jacked by people from other parts of the world while we stand by a play politics? What are our elected representatives doing a part from looking out for their own interest, ala getting re-elected? What are we willing to compromise next? Would we be willing to let the Arabs Islamize our country? I am afraid, we are in BIG trouble; Only In America.
