Ummm…. Yeah….
Because the biggest threat to us is the illegal aliens who mow our lawns, wash our dinners, watch our kids in day care and paint our houses and make repairs around the place.
Goddamn them. If it weren’t for them this place would be a paradise. We should ship every one of them back home. And hang the ‘no Irish need apply’ signs back up and while we’re at it screw the Italians… and the Germans… and the Polish… and all the others who came here seeking a better life because it’s not like we shut down Ellis Island and instituted immigration quotas.
We’re a nation built on Puritan, white, Christian people and that’s the way we intend to stay and fuck those outsiders. Especially the ones who look like you. ‘Cause I know you don’t look or act like me… hell, you don’t even eat the same kind of food or believe in the really important parts about God, so you’re screwed.
And that’s what we need to worry about. Not the regulation of the swaps market or dependence on oil, or the banking system or the amount we spend in Iraq or the situation in Afghanistan or North Korea, or what’s happening in Iran, or the cost of medical care, or the unemployment rate or anything else.
If we could just get rid of the brown skins and those other folks who do all the menial job…. That would fix everything.
Oh—and if only Kennedy, one of the most effective legislators in the history of Congress with a long history of compromise and understanding what it takes to get a bill passed—in fact the most prolific legislator of all time—would just die already. That’d do it.
With luck (and almost certainly) you’ll join him soon. We can’t wait.
