Where Are The Mexicans?

I have finally had it!

I am so frustrated over the state of affairs in this country that I took the initiative to start a blog and get some things of my chest! I have no idea for how long or what it will be about, but here goes.

It started with the health care debate. I listen to the news and talk radio quite a bit as I'm in the car alot, and quite frankly country music is about all I can handle anymore.

The health care issue is being jammed down the throats of the American people, most of whom don't want it, and we're just sitting around like a bunch of monkeys with our thumbs up our butts watching it happen.

During the endless newscasts and opinion polls, I kept asking myself, "Where are the doctors? Why aren't they saying anything?"

The administration keeps citing the AMA as having endorsed the Obama bill. Wow, I thought, the AMA! And then the conservatives would point out that the AMA only represents 20% of the doctors in this country! 20?? Who knew??

Oops...too late...the damage was done. Pretty crafty, that Obama. When the mainstream media reported that the AMA supported the bill, I know that most Americans, like me, thought the AMA was the doctors and that all doctors were members.

So where were the doctors?? Why didn't the 80% who don't belong to the AMA say or do...SOMETHING?? Are they too busy buying airplanes and boats? OK, cheap shot.

Do the docs even have an association that they belong to anymore? If not, then they need one...badly! The health care changes would impact them more than anyone else - they can't afford to sit by and watch. Besides, there are too many Americans looking for guidance on this issue and they're not getting it from the politicians...on either side. I think they'd listen to the docs.

And now, this whole debate over illegal immigration has finally gotten to me as well.

This morning I received a forwarded email from a friend that was supposedly sent by an Arizona State Senator by the name of Sylvia Allen. Well, who knows, maybe it wasn't written by her at all - maybe someone made it up and sent it out and put her name on it. Doesn't matter. The points in the article were well put: The large numbers of ranchers who have been continually terrorized by the illegals crossing the border...the murders that happen almost daily that are connected with illegals and drug trafficking...the sounds of gunfire throughout the night...the list goes on and on...

Sounds like a third world country, doesn't it? Sounds like...uh...Mexico?

Imagine having bought a little piece of paradise in Arizona years ago to raise your family and enjoy the peace and serenity. And now, decades later, you have to lock yourself in 24/7 because you're afraid for your safety. Maybe all the politicians on record as being against the Arizona immigration enforcement bill should be made to go live on the border for a month. See how they like it.

It's a big stinking MESS...and one that needs to be cleaned up!

I personally feel very strongly about the law. I know there are some bad laws; not many I'm guessing, but there must be a few. But what the heck, if it's the law, follow it. If it's a bad law, change it. But until it gets changed it needs to be followed. That's not rocket science...it's common sense! And it's a heck of a lot better than anarchy!

And like the health care debate, I have to ask this question about illegal immigration: Where are the Mexicans and why aren't they helping out? Why doesn't the Mexican government assist in keeping the illegals at home where they belong? Is the country that corrupt that the illegal drug trade now calls the shots?

Last I checked, we send a crapload of money and assistance to Mexico. We need someone with the cayunies (sp) to demand that they do something about this...NOW!

From our standpoint, let's build the border fence - that's COMMON SENSE.

Let's enforce the law - that's COMMON SENSE.

Let's get tough with the Mexican government - that's COMMON SENSE.

Perhaps most importantly, let's protect Americans living along the border - that's COMMON SENSE.

And finally, let's empower the Border Patrol to enforce the law, not play referee to the "Let's See Who Can Cross the Border" game!

We can worry about what to do with the millions of illegals later, but let's enforce the law and protect Americans now!
