So a cousin forwarded an email from a guy named Bob Lonsberry...and it gave me a flippin' fit.
Lonsberry's email is below. Below my reply here. Sheesh!!!
*******************************
To the cousin:
It's awful easy for somebody on the east coast like Lonsberry to talk about what he doesn't really understand or know about or have experienced. Wonder how he'd like to pay $7 for a single avocado, for instance. And that's what they'd cost without the workers, according to the Repub mgr of the restaurant I had breakfast at this morn. Same for all produce you find in your supermarket...and that includes the chickens at the meat counter.
He also doesn't mention that everyone of the 9/11 terrorists were in the US legally...as students. With student visas. Also, not a single terrorist has crossed the Mexican border. Also, the only ones who have, came across the Canadian border.
So just closing the Mexican border isn't the answer. The Mexicans, thanks to our Feds, have to cross illegally. There is a seven year long wait for Green cards for workers because US people can't get their act together. The agriculture people can't wait 7 years to get the harvests in, nor can the chicken people keep the chickens alive for 7 years...and it goes on and on. Who's down in New Orleans trying to clean the place up? Mexican workers...and half of them are being cheated out of their wages and living in tents if they have them. Same here where the field workers come...living at the edges of the fields, no electricity, no water, zip...because even though the agriculture owners want to build quarters for them, the multi-millionaires living on the cliffs above don't want to see no Mexicans below them.
Bush wants a worker program. This is good. Problem is, we already have one, but as I said, it's got a 7 year back-up to get papers from. And if anybody thinks our citizens are gonna work for barely minimum wage doing those kinds of back-breaking jobs, they're wrong. It's been tried. In reply to a help wanted ad, one guy showed up to work in the fields. ONE.
The Mexicans are crossing illegally because there's no other choice if they're gonna find a job to care for their families. Perfect solution would be to make Baja the 53rd State, but Mexico sure wouldn't go for that. Their major tourist business is in Baja. Can't tell you how many US citizens are living full time in Baja in houses along their beaches...and the number is growing.
The Mexicans crossing illegally, come and work and go back home. The US citizens living down there go and don't come back cause it's so much cheaper to live there and besides, the Mexicans are nice people. It's the damndest thing.
Barricading the borders is simply a political ploy. Every damned week some politician is down there raving about closing the borders and getting their photo op and doing their damndest to play up FEAR in US citizens that TERRORISTS are coming across. Bullshit.
And I haven't even mentioned the thousands who cross and immediately become housekeepers and baby sitters and gardners and resturant workers and on and on...and risk their lives trying to go home for Xmas and come back to their jobs again. The Mexicans who come to work here are very decent, very hard working, religious, family loving people who sure don't deserve being treated as they are.
Now here's a real problem. You know where the drug running Mexican cartels are getting their guns? They can't get them in Mexico. They get them easy...from the US where citizens can run into any gun store, buy whatever they want, turn them over to smugglers, and across the border to Mexico they go...where they're used to kill any Mexican who crosses their path. All to get those drugs across the border to the buyers...US citizens. That's sure something to be proud of. Talk about free trade. Hah.
You'd think people would remember how popular the Berlin Wall was...or the fence in Isreal to block in the Palestians. Same thing with this wall on our border. How desparate for work would you have to be to cross that goddamned desert on our and AZ's borders? And die out there because the damned smuggler has left and there you are with a couple of hundred miles of desert to cross with no water, no shelter... Pretty desperate..as are the people waiting to hire you if you can get there alive. And all because our people can't get the damned paperwork done. Sheesh!!!
And if you want to know how the field workers are living today, just go to: www.latimes.com They've done a hell of a fine article. Pics and all.

SEND THIS TO YOUR CONGRESSMAN
Dear Congressman,
Could you explain something to me?
Why the hell isn’t our Army on the Mexican border? Why the hell do you and your pals sit up there in Washington with your heads up your butts while our territorial integrity gets gang-raped everyday along the Rio Grande?
Pull out the Border Patrol and send in the 82nd Airborne and get the job done.
Or quit.
We can easily find some other vote-for-hire idiot to do your job. Because you’re clearly not getting the message. There is one freaking issue in this country and you stuffed-shirt, tax-and-spend welfare pimps are pretending not to know what it is.
So I’ll say it once.
Illegal immigration.
A flood of invaders is gutting our nation, and their insolent homeland is backing them up, and you’re leading our country in a long round of grab-your-ankles.
Maybe you don’t love this country, but the rest of us do, and we’re sick and damn tired that you’re doing nothing to protect it. You tax us at some of the highest levels in history – world history – and you demand our obedience to law, and yet you fail in the most fundamental aspect of your job.
You don’t protect the country.
You don’t protect the law.
You don’t protect the economy.
You don’t protect the tax money you suck out of us.
Because you don’t protect the border and you don’t repel the invaders.
So why the hell should we keep you around?
What exactly is your function? You are as useless as tits on a boar hog. I believe the saying is: Lead, follow or get out of the way.
And having failed to lead, maybe you should try following the will of the people. The people you theoretically represent.
The people who think that the increased violence against our Border Patrol agents can’t be tolerated. The people who think that daily gunfire on our border – aimed at our citizens – is pretty damn close to an act of war. The people who think that catching and releasing 1.2 million illegal’s crossing our border each year isn’t good enough.
The people who fear those 1.2 million illegal’s are just the tip of the iceberg when compared to the ones we don’t catch. The ones who are threatening the prosperity, culture and sovereignty of the United States.
You and your chucklehead friends were sent to Washington to do the bidding of your constituents. But it seems you’ve decided you work for Vincente Fox instead of We The People. That insolent whelp lectures and castigates this country on a daily basis and not a one of you has the stones to tell him to shut up. There’s plenty of time to call your reporter pals and leak national secrets to them, but not a one of you can offer up a press quote suggesting that the president of Mexico ought to mind his own freaking business.
Like this deal with the guy who was trying to brain a Border Patrol agent with a rock. The rate of violent attack against our agents has doubled in recent months, and one of these infiltrados is heaving rocks at an officer of the United States trying to enforce the laws of the United States, and the agent has to fire his gun.
Which caused the invader to develop a nasty leak.
Which subsequently caused him to meet 72 virgins in heaven.
Oops, my bad. That’s the other guys who are trying to destroy us.
Anyway, your daddy, Vincente Fox, is crapping his pants down there demanding justice and calling it an international outrage and all sort of other insane prattle. Of course, next election, when he’s thrown out by Hugo Chavez Jr., we’re going to miss him.
But that’s ok, your constituents have lots of ammunition.
And unless you get off your hands and start protecting this country some generation not too long from now they’re going to have to use it.
You are Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
Only this nation is far greater than Rome. Because it is not a nation of empire, it is a nation of liberty. The world’s first, last and best hope for freedom. And you are allowing it to be plundered and pillaged by the vandals.
(Hey, moron, if any of these historical and literally allusions escape you, have a staffer explain the hard parts to you. As a test, have them explain what the phrase "from the halls of Montezuma" refers to in the Marine Corps Hymn.)
Now, you Washington boys are pretty good at screwing your buddy and passing the buck. But that game’s gotten old. Pointing a finger at the White House and another finger at big business and sticking a third finger up your, well, none of that gets it anymore.
You took an oath.
Be man enough to live up to it.
Defend this country.
Get over your political correctness. Get over your spinelessness. Get over your cowardice. Take your lips off the Latino backside long enough to say what all your constituents are shouting.
Illegal immigration has to be stopped.
The border has to be secured.
The invasion has to be repulsed.
American policy must be made by American officials, not Mexican bandits. And you bastardos are pretty cold-hearted to ask young men to defend America in Iraq when you won’t defend America at home.
Do your job.
Defend this country.
Protect our borders.
Or get ready to face the consequences. Because we’re not mad at the illegals anymore. We’re mad at you – and all those like you who won’t do their constitutional duty. And we’re coming after you. And all your lobbyist pals and all their money won’t be able to protect you.
Because this is an even-numbered year.
And we’ll vote for a dog before we’ll send you back for another term of treason. As far as your political career goes, you can either protect our borders or you can go to hell.
It’s as simple as that.
Signed,
A Voting American
P.S. -- The next time you see your Mexican daddy, tell him Winfied Scott said hello.
