On a topic such as immigration, you almost have to expand your mind. Well, wait for it to evolve, rather. Personally, I'm 50/50 on immigration.
Fifty percent of my head says that illegal immigrants drive down labor costs, exploit what the government of the USA has to offer rather than embrace it, and border-jumpers bring more havoc than peace wherever they land because I guess they're accustomed to a different lifestyle down in Mexico, one that doesn't have as much structure as we're used to up here. Examples would be, oh hell, I don't know, humanity, code of ethics, all those things that the typical urban Black man is failing on a massive level at, and who wants to put up with any more of that bullshit than what we are already being ass-raped by, especially when most of us on a day to day basis do the right thing yet often times have to sit idly by and watch injustice occur? That's fucked and I'll get to how much that shit pisses me off in a bit.
However, the other fifty percent of my head is the evolved, non-biased, logical side, and ya know what? It's a fair and reasonable thought process that goes something like this.
As to give a visual to what's going on in my head, I'd like you to imagine you are in the center of the country, face down on the street; could be any street, as it doesn't really matter. Now let's also say that your body, for whatever reason, became temporarily immune to gravity and you gradually started floating upwards. Remember now, you're keeping your eyes open as you eventually reach the point where you'd see Kansas in its entirety. Ah, but as you kept rising, eventually the entire United States became visible.
Now if you can imagine this happening (ain't too hard; kinda like being on a fucking plane,) you can also imagine that you wouldn't see lines on the ground roughly every 300-600 miles; you know, regions of this continent that our forefathers had decided to label states and make separate, bullshit laws in.
Outside of what you've learned from maps and seeing globes in school, you really wouldn't be able to pinpoint where exactly the Canadian border was while suspended in the air, so it's also safe to assume you wouldn't precisely know where the Mexican/USA border was, either. You'd only be able to draw these imaginary lines in your head since you've been taught by the aforementioned maps and globes, seeing the backdrop on the Weather Channel, whatever.
It is with this train of thought that makes me wonder had these men not created these imaginary lines hundreds of years ago, would Mexicans stepping on what our forefathers called The Uniteted States of America be such a big deal? Probably not, because this is all manmade law, unlike let's say, the laws of physics or even Newton's, and manmade law is usually all bullshit to begin with, therefore I'm going to take an awkward approach to the immigration problem in this country and openly state that there really shouldn't be a problem with any creed stepping on whatever rock on Earth as we know it.
You can have your opinions on why this planet exists all you want. Use your Big Bang Theory, aliens are allowing us to live here so they can study Tom Cruise movies, or maybe God was, in fact, bored off his ass. Whatever your brain interprets as logic, I say go with it and good for you, but whichever method you have chosen, I don't think you can escape the irrefutable fact that none of them were intended to have this failing form of segregation as its backbone of operations. As I've already stated this is all just manmade bullshit that's been taught onto us, just like someone taught Hitler to hate the Jews, just like the White man up until roughly a hundred years ago the Black man wasn't welcomed anywhere, and now it's topical with illegal immigrants even though they've been fence-jumping for decades.
Might sound awkward coming from my mouth, but it's a little obnoxious of this country's ringleaders to think they can decide if certain humans on Earth may enter a mass of land that they didn't make, generally don't take care of, and certainly don't preserve, i.e., pollution, oil, toxic waste and such. Seriously. If you take yourself out of whatever's been drilled into your head by your father, grandfather, the media, your friends, who the fuck is anyone on this planet to tell another person where he can't step? Unless you firmly believe in reincarnation (or pixies and the tooth fairy for that matter,) I think we can all agree that we only have one shot here, and to have boundaries during that time that prohibit one from achieving the greatest happiness they can find is unjust in itself.
How did this entity entitled 'the government' get this much power? Well shit, I don't have that much patience to write about that.
But let's get back to being assholes for a moment. Keeping certain people out of America is what's been taught onto us so let's revert to the other fifty percent of what's in our heads. The learned half.
Of the 1,000,000 net increase in job demands, about two-thirds went to immigrant workers, which is a weird number considering Latinos only account for roughly 18% of adult workers. Of course, we're basically only talking about grunt work. In job categories such as agriculture, building maintenance, construction and food preparation, native-born Americans still hold the majority of jobs, but they're rapidly losing them to immigrants and that's the part that's kinda pissing me off.
Does it make sense that employers are choosing immigrants and having them do the work because of the reduced pay? Hell yea since every owner/owners of corporations are a bunch of greedy, White, liberal cunts. You want to blame your ex boss that Juan now has your job? Go ahead, but I doubt your landlord is going to care about your tears.
And then there's the other side of that: you can't force yourself onto what other people believe is theirs. In this situation, the White man is in belief that this is his country and these are his jobs, so when migrant workers wander up here and do the same job for less, this is what is creating racial division with the people who have that permanent tan. It's very similar to how I feel about all the Black guys fucking White chicks nowadays.
Don't want Juan taking your job? Shit, man, shoulda been something besides a ditch digger, I guess. It's a monster that can't be stopped now. Ask your boss where his pride is or ask yourself if you could have done a bit more with life to earn a better working rank. It's not like Mexicans are hopping the fence and becoming teachers, firemen, or corporation owners. Shit, man, like the saying goes, the world needs ditch diggers, too, so maybe you should have aimed higher.
Plus in some cases, these sellout business owners might actually be getting what they pay for. I mean, how smart do these two geniuses look to you?
How about citizenship?
A green card holder can live in the USA indefinitely, work, enlist in the armed forces, or start a business. The only things a green card won't provide are the right to vote, receive government benefits, and protection from deportation. Once one obtains a green card, they can apply for citizenship after 5 years and no one should be able to say shit to them for residing in this oh-so great country of ours. And you know what? That all sounds lovely, but then the prick side of my brain kicks in and says, "well how the fuck are these people getting that green card to begin with?" We can estimate that maybe 30-35% of them are obtained legitimately, which basically means that 2 times out 3 someone who was born and raised here is getting the shaft when he/she didn't deserve to.
Just like anything in life, I think people will only take it in the ass for so long before they stop depending on the government to help out and take actions into their own hands, which, is a strong stance for advocating free will. Want to start genocide? Hell, I don't care either way. All I know is that I'm not losing as of yet so I'm still rather nice on select days. Of course, I'm certainly not winning anything as well, unlike this bullshit:
Although there are over 9 million other names in the pot, an immigrant could win a green card in the government-sponsored U.S. Green Card Lottery. Each year, 50,000 people are randomly selected via computer to receive a green card. The purpose of this lottery is to help people from underrepresented countries have more chances to become legal U.S. residents. To qualify, a beaner must have at least a high school education, 12 years of elementary and secondary study or two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring a minimum of two years training or experience---
Hey, assholes in Washington! How about you take care of home court first before worrying about what the visitor's locker room looks like!
Well, ya know what? I have all that shit and plus some, yet I have to work two jobs and pay ridiculous taxes and no one's putting my name in the hat for jack shit. In fact, the only things I keep winning are pieces of mail that say I've won $50,000 and how I qualify for gold membership to a cocksucking credit card company. Well now, that's just fan-fucking-tastic!
Fuck, and people wonder why I drive right past those street beggars holding that sign I can't even read. I've never wanted to buy a paintball gun so much in my life, just for the simple fact that I doubt he'll be standing on that same corner tomorrow.
See now, here's where the prick in me comes out because it's shit like having to speak Spanish in order to get certain jobs and the piņata lottery that will make me starve to death before I even buy a plastic bag full of fruit. Fuck that bullshit. In Spanish, how do you say 'borderline,' 'evacuate,' and 'cattle prod'?
I'm always open to new ideas, and since the brothers had to go through hangings for so many years, it's only fair if we implement that type of justice upon Juan, Jose, Jorge, and the rest of those migrant rats who come up here and be nothing but a burden to us, then on top of that we're expected to learn a new language. No, mother fuckers, you learn this one! You're the guest!
If you can't read what my 'welcome' mat says, then guess what you're not?
Hey, I'll be real honest; I hate people who can't speak a word of English and swing at paper Mache animals. I hate people who consider paying taxes as giving the door guy the cover charge. I hate having to hear an operator tell me press one for English, and press two---there shouldn't even be a two, asshole! Look at your feet right now and get a reality check on where you're standing.
I've never been to Mexico, but I seriously doubt the natives have to deal with the shit we have to up here for the twelve White people who have decided to move down there, and I'm in bumfuck Wisconsin for Christ's sake. That's like, way far north. Holy shit, I can't even imagine how bad Texas is. When I was little, I thought the worst things about Texas were fire ants and rodeo clowns. Jesus Christ, was I naive. You cowboys down there must be waist deep in tortilla chips, reggatone, and orange peels, and worst of all, reggatone has become a music genre all its own, as if 'Caribbean' wasn't good enough.
At this rate I expect the White man to start getting casinos because of this crap by 2025. Seriously, I want my future children to have casinos when you guys have plateued, because you are basically driving people off their land for nothing more than greed.
First Amendment is a mother fucker, hey? Yea . . . it's like numero uno for us, unlike your sister's green card. I will give you guys one thing, though . . . you sure are efficient when it comes to car pooling.
See, but then the nice guy kicks in my head and I start believing in equal rights again. It's like, why not respect a Latino who does his job, conforms to society standards as to not be a burden, and overall doesn't create a fuck story for those people in his immediate surroundings? Why not? Because of the color of their skin? That's stupid.
Tell ya some real truth, I'd rather date a Latino chick who knows how to treat her man rather than an American broad stealing from and lying to me, then going to fuck the neighbor while I'm at work to pay for the roof over her head.
But then it's like, why not deport or spit on those immigrants who come into the strip club trying to put his fingers in every girl's pussy, pretends to not know English to get out of tipping, all the while smelling like the a rotted produce isle?
It's the exact same shit as African Americans.
We all live in or nearby a city where Black people are out of control. Beating up teachers, shooting in public and someone innocent usually gets shot, pimping women out, a prolific drug operation in their basement, shit-talking with bad attitudes, obnoxiously loud in public places . . . and ya know what, hell, I'm not afraid at all to call them niggers, because ya know what, that's what they fucking are.
However, the stereotype hasn't killed my thought process, because I respect a Black man who works, acts right in public and overall chooses moral excellence rather than the lazy way of living life. You're damn right I respect him even more than some greedy, White corporate whore who steals from his own company, pulls the stock so then all the little people under him are fucked when he finally sells. You dirty fucking pricks.
So, I don't know, man. I don't have a whole lotta answers on immigration itself. Ultimately, I don't really care who the person is who wants to live down the block from me or work where I do, just don't be a menace to society and don't burden me on a personal level and you're good in my book. People's lives are already difficult enough, so if you're going to add to the irritation by pillaging and raping the country and the women in it, I have no problem if they Mex Ex your ass back to Mexico piece by piece and use you for donkey kibble.
Wanna end the whole debate quickly? Adopt Mexico as the fifty-first state, send shitloads of unemployed Americans down there for the next ten years to get Mexico up to date then there won't be an issue. We'll call it a 'public works' project. Immigrants won't feel a need to come up here once they have Escalades, glorious shopping malls, skyscrapers, sewer systems, 747s, PSPs, paved roads, Starbucks and clean water and a government that's a little better. Shit, that will create thousands of jobs for every 100 square miles. Need money to get the project started? Hell, start with those 100 douche bags in Forbes.
Because what? My idea seems waaaay out there, hey? Not entirely feasable? Yea . . . you're right. Because all the money this country started spending on that awesome war five years ago that's still going, that was the right thing to do with the money because it's not like had we went my route the project wouldn't already be 40% done by now and thousands of Americans and Iraqis would still be alive. That would make too much sense, so the hell with nurturing life, let's go kill it.
