Purely coincidental??

OK, I find it very odd that the three Recipe websites I subscribe to are ALL touting Mexican foods!!  (Well, there is that Cinco de Mayo thing this month, but.....)  I wonder if it has anything to do with the recent  UPROAR in Arizona over their stand on illegal immigrants??  Seriously.  Is this some sort of subliminal message to the reader, that because we love Mexican FOOD, we should love.........I mean.....why NOW? 
Why wasn't I receiving recipes for Mexican foods, oh, say last September??? Well, you see what I'm getting at, right??

When it comes to ILLEGAL immigrants, I have an opinion just like everyone else, and my opinion on illegal immigrants is:  BECOME A CITIZEN THE RIGHT WAY.....OR GO HOME!!  As for those "anchor babies" we're hearing so much about...(some of them in this country so long they're already attending college!)  I reallly hate it for THEM.  Their parents should have assured that their offspring were LEGAL citizens.  Yeah, yeah, yeah.....I know you're gonna say the Constitution of the United States GUARANTEES anyone BORN in this country, citizenship.  Well....and that's really as it should be.....IF THE PARENTS WERE IN THIS COUNTRY LEGALLY.

Honestly....I can't fault anyone...of any race....for wanting to better their lot in life & seek a better way of life for their children.  The problem I am having is that these immigrants, who are here illegally, are benefiting in ways that most natural-born, US citizens never will!   Our tax dollars are supporting these people.  They receive food stamps; housing assistance; medical care; schooling; CASH.....the list goes on & on.  Please understand me.....I do NOT resent this assistance to people who are LEGALLY in this country.  However....I DO HIGHLY RESENT SUPPORTING PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY.  Where do we draw the line at LEGAL vs. ILLEGAL??? 

Does this 'new attitude' in America, regarding illegals, make it OK for me to shoplift a cart-load of groceries from the supermarket, because my family needed food??  Afterall....I was unemployed for TWO YEARS.  My UE benefits ran out & I still had to eat!!  So...can I now get away with just TAKING what I think I need?? Will the law "excuse" my STEALING, simply because I needed food?? Will it be declared something other than stealing, if it's for the betterment of my family???   Is it now OK to steal a car, because I didn't want to walk or ride the bus??  Where does it stop??  Can we just suddenly say, 'well, it's not really LEGAL, but.....'.  SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME!

OK, how 'bout this:  Those of you here, illegally, who do NOT wish to go back to Mexico....y'all can stay here....BUT WITHOUT ANY ASSISTANCE FROM THE US GOVERNMENT, FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE.  Furthermore....you WILL begin to pay, not only TAXES, but you WILL PAY RESTITUTION to this country for the benefits you have already received ILLEGALLY, to date.  In addition, you...and your entire family....are required to become FLUENT in ENGLISH (both written & verbal) within 90 days of your initiation into becoming an American Citizen.  If you choose to speak Spanish in your homes, privately, I think that is a wondrous thing.  Your children should NOT be removed from their heritage.  Keep your language and your customs.....it's what makes you a unique people.  BUT RESPECT THIS COUNTRY FOR WHAT IT OFFERS YOU!!

This county will no longer be bi-lingual.   Auto Zone can take down all those stupid signs they post in Spanish!  If you wish to place or receive a phone call...ANYWHERE within the 50 states of America....you can bet your ass it will be done in English and you won't have to press ANY damned number to make it happen! 

And just for the record.....it is not illegal immigrants who are destoying this country....IT IS OUR OWN GOVERNMENT, WHO IS SELLING US OUT!!

(and finally......just how many of you...here illegally or otherwise, even KNOWS why you celebrate Cinco de Mayo??????)

Cinco de Mayo:
May 5, observed by Mexican communities in Latin America and Mexican-American communities in the United States in commemoration of the 1862 defeat of French troops at the Battle of Puebla.
