Based on what you know about him in history books, what do you think Abraham Lincoln would be doing if he were alive today?
1) Writing his memoirs of the Civil War.
2) Advising the President.
3) Desperately clawing at the inside of his coffin. -- David Letterman

Go Back To Mexico

The excuses are getting old.

You might remember when I said that I was sick and tired of politics. Well, nothing strengthens my stance more than the protests held across the nation today, one of which that was held here in Los Angeles County that attracted more than 500,000 illegals and their homies.

That’s right, I said 500,000 people. That’s half a million people, for those of you who like to use words to describe numbers. Here’s a picture of metro Los Angeles:

I’m sick and tired about hearing how these people who illegally cross the border, bring filth, disease, and a total disregard for the law are going to fill the void of the jobs that American’s do not want to take. This argument is so old and such a complete lie that I don’t even know where to start. A few days ago, I read about how the administration is farming out the job of crate inspection to a Hong Kong based business (read: China) because it’s more cost effective on their side. The last two things I want to hear in combination in any sentence are “cost effective” and “security.” I talk to college grads every day that have spent the past four years acquiring criminal justice degrees, with the hopes of jumping into the public or private law enforcement sector. You’re not going to find a better qualified workforce when it comes to law enforcement than grads in the United States, yet the jobs are being shoved across borders to foreign entities. It’s not a matter of jobs being available that American’s don’t want to take, it’s a matter of jobs being purposely sent across the globe to cheaper countries that will do mediocre work for less cost. Want do you want: A college grad with a degree in apprehending bad guys, or some guy who barely speaks English with a gun, an empty bank account, an a proposal from some terrorist to allow him to sneak a crate through the security sensors?

I’ll take the college grad who wants the job, not the guy who was forced to take it because his rent was due.
