A Bush Grows in Borderland
So we're back to patrolling the borders. Great. But as stated in this wonderful entry the problem lies more with what is allowed in the name of convenience than righteousness. I want to see employers of illegal immigrants put in jail. I want to see those that exploit these illegales be made responsible for utilizing poverty and powerlessness to further their own causes. Bush's doublespeak doesn’t fool me or anyone else that understands that the only thing he cares about is maintaining a "working business" relationship with Mexico so that he can further his own capitalistic goals. We all know that if the relationship between Mexico and the U.S. becomes hostile, then Bush will be forced to steal what he wants (aka going to war), and aren’t we already overextended in that capacity? Exactly. Of course, I'm not holding my breath. Latinos have been the pawn of rich whites for a long time. But I have to admit that I still hope for the day when I can exhale, and politicians like Bush get exactly what they deserve-in every way.
