Politics and Blue Jays musing while staring out at the Pacific. Life is tough.

March 30th

Just read an article by Lou Dobbs at CNN about illegal immigration.

He makes the point that after 9/11 the US still has no control over it's borders or ports. True. He wants both, and blames the President for not getting them and "defying" the peoples will.

Lou, you've got a problem. How does a democratic country TRULY secure its borders? The only country I know that was good at it was East Germany. It takes that type of documentation and control of everybody and everything to achieve true controls of your borders. Either it's not going to happen or the US is going to have to become a police state. There are those that argue it already is.

The other problem is racism. Every racist in America, and there are more than we'd like to believe, supports border control to stop "spics" etal from gaining entry.

The OVERWHELMING majority of the illegal immigrants are in the US as a COMPLIMENT to it. They can get work, support their families and even in part time wasteland jobs they can have some hope for a better future. Isn't that the reason the English, Irish, Scotch, Welsh and the REST OF THE WORLD came to American shores?

No, the answers lie in a series of steps. One, a foreign policy that doesn't see half the world as a sworn enemy and WORKS OVERTIME to ensure that any Muslim that doesn't hate the US LEARNS TO! Two, relations with your neighbours that continues to empower and enrich them so the disparity is not so alarming. Three, as a so-called Christian nation, pay more attention to what Jesus said in the New Testament and less to what so-called Christians tell you the "Bible" says. You have Christians in American who think Jesus would support capital punishment. Read what the dude said, for Christ's sake!

Unless the world sees the US as an honest broker you have no chance of success. You have let a small group of extremists gain control of YOUR government by getting a small group of American extremists elected who ARE HELL BENT on POLARIZING every person on earth. Madness. Madness. Madness.

Change this government, take back America, while there is still something worth taking back!

You're welcome Lou, anytime.

Welcome

March 12th 2006, a day that will go down in infamy! Well, only if my blog is a bust.

I'm hoping to share my views on current events, politics, the Blue Jays and whatever else catches my eclectic fancy.

Later today I'll make my first non-introductory entry. Welcome, and enjoy!
