Hearts
and Hands
 You
know all those little kids
crossing the southern borders of
the U.S.,
escaping the resultant cluster-fuck
chaos of Ronald
Reagan's
murderous escapades in Central
America? Well, they're not illegal
immigrants,
pals and gals, they're refugees,
and I think a civilized society
could easily make that distinction.
But, no, we have these roving bands
of Nobel laureates clogging the
roads and blocking buses full of
ninos with purposely misspelled
signs (No
one's really
that stupid,
right?) raising a calculated stink
over a solvable problem just so
that Fox &
Friends
will
have something to rabble rouse
besides laughable innuendo about
that damn Kenyan in the White House,
whom
they secretly
LOVE as he sells more ad time than
any dead or naked British royalty
ever has.
(What we really need is demonstrators
blocking the paths of the limos
of Wall Street CEOs, the real criminals
in this country, but, oh yeah,
the last time this was tried they
had
their
police force beat the snot out
of the protestors. Not quite so
much pepper spray down on the border,
I've noticed.)
My favorite complaint is that our
government is spending millions
on these kids yet scrimping
on vets, which is like complaining
that
your hamburger is too salty because
Selma Hayek won't return your
phone calls.
Seriously, if you
want more money for the VA just
call
Speaker of the House John
Boehner
and ask him to introduce a bill
that will properly fund the agency.
I'm sure he'll
get right on it.
Bwahhhhhhhh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Man, I kill me! Oh, and fuck John
Boehner.
Yes, it costs money
to keep these kids
fed and
housed
while we figure out what to do
for them but even if we budgeted,
say, $300 million dollars a year
to care for them, and we don't,
nothing even close to that amount, that's still less
than
$1 from each American. Per
year.
This problem will not be solved
immediately, if ever, because it
requires the help of the countries
involved but I'm sure U.S. agencies
are doing the best they can. Most
importantly, anyone who thinks
it's acceptable
to bully hungry,
scared children shouldn't be allowed
the benefits of civilized society.
So fuck those guys, too.
One last reminder: Unless your
home address has been 1 Olduvai
Gorge for the past million years
you're
an immigrant, too.
Deal with it.
