Jesus, this is why I stay away
Mee-ow, you all have been having too much fun. It’s amazing how much I’ve heard of all this immigration stuff lately (oddly, nothing about emigration). As you all know I work construction and am consequently around many Mexicans. Unfortunately, the government has refused to implement some sort of patch or branding for the legal ones so that we truly know which ones to hate. My friend Juan is a roofer—no shit, insert what ever jokes you want—and wears a t-shirt he had made of his green card so he would stop catching racial slurs at job sites. My only form of wisdom is this, and (swear to all that is holy) it is a true story.
I was at work a couple of days and was installing fireplaces into a duplex in the middle of Lawrence. I dropped off the fireplaces in each side of the duplex and was returning to my van to get a pipe wrench. When I went into the garage, sitting on a roll of insulation, was a cock. I’m not real accustomed to seeing farm animals and a little surprised to see on a job site. Also, a little disgusted that it was shitting of the insulation about to be put into the home. I was assured by one of the framers next door that Charles, the cock, was harmless and would not run off. It had been his loyal pet for a few years. Come to think of it, I really don’t know what this has to do with immigrants, unless I want to start making a complex comparison of Mexicans and pets cocks. Frankly, I’m tired from a day of work and I’ll let you all try that out.
I will only say this then about the whole debate. A wall is the most retarded thing I have ever heard of. If you want to stop immigration, you have to do it at the source. The source is not our borders, but our jobs. If penalties and fines of hiring illegals were stronger—and enforced—then there would no longer be an economic advantage to hiring illegals. This would lead to no jobs for people sneaking into the country and, if there are no jobs, there is no reason to come into the country. There is a problem, once this all comes into play, Americans would have to come to realization that immigrants do the jobs that no one else wants to. Think of janitors, roofers, jizz moppers, cooks at fast places, and guys that clean port-a-potties. What color came into your head? Don’t lie, were all racists. Now think of doctors, lawyers, porn stars, governors and the guys that guess your weight at carnivals. I have a sneaking suspicion that we all thought of a nice skin shade of apricot for the second and some form of light brown on the first. Illegals are hired for the jobs that Americans don’t want. What’s the number on unemployed Americans? I know there are an estimated 11 million illegals. I know a lot more working illegals than unemployed Americans (not to mention the unemployed Americans that wait to look for a job until the unemployment checks don’t come). I’m not saying that one race of worker is better then another. I’m just saying that anyone that if someone is willing to work there entire life doing the jobs that no one else wants—well, shit, everybody deserves a nice pat on the ass and a “get ‘em tiger,” every once in a while.
