...if I will be treated in Mexico as they are treated here??? I received this as a joke from a friend, but it tells a true story.
Dear President Bush:I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family,
and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across
the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few
arrangements. I know you can help with this.I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports,
immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the
same way you do here.So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that
I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting
the following:1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might
need, whether I use them or not.
3. All government forms need to be printed in English.
4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.
5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the
flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.
7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and
lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy
access to government services.
9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any
effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the
memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all
police officers speak English.11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals
on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not
want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes,
and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.
13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice
and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might
place on the economy.I know this is an easy request because you already do all these
things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am
sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him
nicely.However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail
hunting with your V.P.Thank you so much for your kind help.
Sincerely,
SR

Comments on I'm Going To Mexico, And I wonder....
This blog has become a tool for "ignorance and racism on both sides of the immigrant issue". The Immigrant Experience has always been about ECONOMICS for the families and businesses, instead of responding with hate and lies why not educate people about the historical perspective of immigration in this country given that we are all sons and daughters of immigrants with exception of the NATIVE AMERICANS whose land was taken by force, like their children, and their culture and languages erased by laws and killing throughout the AMERICAS.
Furthermore, for the record most immigrants have a history of hard work , and most Americans on the welfare rolls happen to be generational families of poverty that were born in the United States. Also, the main beneficiary of our tax dollars happen to be the Social Workers who hold degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Social Work, and receive a large amount of our tax dollars for their occupation,While, the poor and needy receive very little in assistance.The truth that irregardless of whether you are legal or illegal, we all pay local and state taxes when we shop for groceries, clothing, and gas. So yes even immigrants pay some taxes.
This Blog has become a vehicle for ignorance and racism by all sides of the issue. The Blog serves to educate fellow "Americans " on the immigration without a political motive, but rather through a historical perspective of immigration in the United States, that includes the Native American experience.
Thank You

I am 100% Conservative, so I do not always agree with this blogs opinion, I do respect the fact they seem to have an opinion that is not racially or politically motivated. They do not "follow" the Republicans or Democrats just because of peer pressure.
So, allow me to be blunt, you are either an illegal alien, or a freaking moron.
