<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Are you on base? because your erratic posts certainly suggest that you might be partial to the odd line of sulphate. It annihilates brain cells pal, - so not a great move being as you clearly ain't endowed with a head start. Moron???
You ....
'Cockplod', drive along Highway 10 and look south across the arid landscape, where all colour has seemingly been leached by the midday sun. Think of the desperate people to the South, who risk all to traverse this hostile expanse in exchange for the American dream. Like the native Indians who were herded on to the reservations, the Mexicans once belonged on this land, but were forced out- excluded from the vision. We tend to perceive them as an overtly Hispanic culture, but despite the Spanish in breeding, what is a Mexican if not a first nation American, defined as a Mexican by proxy by a 200 year old frontier agreement..
Southern Californians rely upon their cheap labour but spend millions to keep them at bay. Politicians are no longer sitting on the fence about illegal immigration. Over the last two years, with elections looming, they were busy spending huge sums building new ones to stem the flow of an estimated 500,000 undocumented workers from Mexico each year. Federal funding of $30 million has just been allocated for completion of a third fence, running in parallel with two barriers set up around San Diego over the last few decades.. A congressional plan to spend a further 2.2 billion, extending a double fence fortification 800 miles east is likely to be approved soon. The irony being, that these are precisely the type of low wage construction projects that America usually gets the Mexicans to do. Indeed the Golden State Fence Co. the self branded top fence contractor in California was recently caught for the second time in as many years employing illegal aliens. Federal investigators have discovered that .... loads of its employees almost a third of its payroll, were undocumented workers. Astonishingly some of these had been caught in a similar sweep 18 months prior to this. In short, illegal immigrants are being employed to build barriers to keep out other illegal workers. The immigration debate in America is not just about whether to double – or even double fence borders, but about double standards. In the South West, middle aged vigilantes in combat gear – so called minutemen – are driving around the desert like extras form a Mad Max movie to deter what white neo-con America sees as drug crazed terrorist infiltrated hordes of Mexicans, who are really just desperate people trying to escape the poverty and depravation of their homeland in exchange for their share of the lavish American dream.
Take the drive up towards Palm Springs 'mockdog'- The paradox is, that everything that stretches before you in The Coachella valley, everything –the malls, the pools, the hotels, the leisure clubs, the huge annual pop and rock festival, even hypothetically an international race circuit capable of staging Moto GP one day; -this entire sunshine society, is kept going by illegal workers. The Mexicans do the jobs that many Americans spurn – the cleaning, the waste disposal, the fruit picking, the fast food outlets, and law enforcement agencies at every level connive in or conveniently ignore this fact. Far from trying to mend the holes in the system –it is in fact working very well for business, providing an almost infinite risk free supply of low cost flexible and non-unionised labour. Neither this drive towards impregnating the borders, nor six-fold increase in border guard has reduced the 11 million undocumented workers.
So 'rock-head' they keep coming – breaching the fences, and beating the patrolmen, subsequently charting a hazardous course over the mountains and deserts I urge you to gaze upon. Last year 465 died of cold hunger or heat –or they were shot. Your man Bush wanted to do something, not just because he is a Texan, (which has had a long co-habitation history with Mexican), but because he had the vested interest of tapping into the vast Latino voting pool. But his guest worker programme granting immigrants a temporary right to work had little chance of inauguration before the mid term congressional elections in the fall of 2006. The Mexican fruit and flower pickers that sleep rough in disused irrigation channels and dry creeks around The Salton Sea, and cram into rented rooms all over California, together with a score of work mates reminiscent of the ‘Okies’ in Steinbeck’s Grapes Of Wrath, are annually cleared out by the City and County authorities that preside over this land. Who does this dirty deed? – the City employs them to do it of course. They are paid to throw themselves off the land – nobody else is willing to do it!
I have encountered countless Americans Repubs like you, who loath the Mexican influx, whilst being perfectly happy to exploit or benefit from the services they provide either knowingly, or unwittingly. They speak of their damaging counter culture, and resistance to the American way, yet California for example is by its very nature Latino in essence, that is one of its chief draws and identifying facets. In England we have endured a decade of unregulated immigration under New Labour, and certainly there is a case to be argued for the detrimental effects associated with the visible erosion of the core traditions and heritage of the nation in the name of multiculturalism. But South West Americans can hardly state such a claim, where in the absence of a cultural pedigree of their own, the pervading customs are invariably of Hispanic derivation.
Your mindless generalisation has now got you furiously back peddling, as you have before - you're denying the fact that you are a bigot, but you wouldn't have to if your neanderthal rhetoric didn't speak for itself. We know what you meant, your intent, and your contempt. People like you can't hide it...which is the great thing about a forum...like free speech, it allows you to hang yourself, and this isn't the first time you've been left dangling like the tool that you are.
It's a shame Jumkie resurrected some of your dimwit posts, they make painful ugly reading - but on the other hand I'm glad he did in view of the fact that you ardently deny being a bigot. Great comment about Joey you ....... You gonna defend yourself? - then try and defend that alone you c. I'm waiting.
Well assbiter let me tell ya.
.... all of the forigners and I hope all of you have to pay for thier medical bills, children and
........ they bring to this country. Plus I have already filed my claims against you ........ so keep up the biggot .... when I have never once used racial slurs to describle people. It is funny how you keep saying this .... when if I truly was a biggot as you say I wouldn't care if you said it now would I? You are a stupid ... who thinks your big internet muscles scare me. Your a wuss and can only point things out that make it seem as though your right and I am wrong. So be it. These are the things I have recently discussed and if I want I can do more than you think. SO go do your research and find your findings cause your gonna need em bud!!! LOL He we go!!! Oh yeah if the mexicans wanted "their", land so bad they should have fought harder.
