Since we have become Orwellianized, language and its implied corruption has been used to desensitize speakers of American English to some enormous problems. I don't even want to research to find out who first used the word immigrant as an illegal alien existing in the United States without benefit of the Immigration Service and their ridiculous green card.
That green card from the United States Immigration Services is the badge of an immigrant. Those fence jumpers and border invaders are not immigrants. They are in the country by defying the laws of any civilized country. If you or I tried to enter into any European country without passport or visa, we would be discovered almost immediately and in very serious trouble. Too many players of the Orwellian hoax claim that they don't care what other countries do because we have it better here, doing things our way. If that is so, then why are we in such an uproar, building a very suitable fence to curtail the hordes of hungry Mexicans and other intruders who hope to hunt and peck for food in the States, collect every cent they are given, to send them all back to their starving relatives in Mexico?
I am not talking out of my sombrero here either. When I vacationed in Clearwater, Florida, I stayed at a motel across the street from the beach. A horde of Mexicans invaded the motel and played their music till the wee hours of the morning. And, they were most hospitable bringing me samples of their, I have to say it, delicious tortillas and fajeetas or something.
The jobs that those illegals were doing were very serious. They were re-building the Hilton Hotel on Clearwater Beach, Florida, that had been inundated with water. Now, let us talk from what we know. Were those jobs at the Hilton really jobs that Americans don't want or were those jobs at the Hilton being paid for a lesser wage than an American plumber or mason would take? That is the cross. It isn't that illegals are taking jobs that American don't want, the phrase itself is preposterous! Those illegals are taking the jobs that Americans could want at a wage that probably doesn't include federal dollars in taxes, union dues, and city taxes. Do you get the point? Americans wouldn't and couldn't take those jobs at that wage, but illegals who are here without having to have paid to come here, without supporting the country whose largess they envy are willing to take whatever they are given and do a marachi band extravaganza on top of it. Do you get the point? Give refugees from Syria the same opportunity to invvade Israel and not Lebanon. Make it a moral obligation for the Israelis to pay those refugees human consideration and you might get the picture. And, then again, you might not.
