The Last J
That Broke Bush's Back |
||

All of the readers must have heard about the vigilante Minutemen on the Mexican border trying to stem the tide of illegal immigrants. It is common knowledge that congressman Tancredo and commentator Pat Buchanan are against immigration and the Republican Fat Cats and Bush are for it. The standard thinking is that the first two are against immigration in general and illegal Mexican immigration in particular. The congressman and others have raised the specter of educational and health care burdens, and Hazelton in Pennsylvania and a town in California have passed laws making it an offence to rent housing to or hire illegal immigrants. Some Republicans have raised the bogey of terrorists coming here illegally across the border, to detract the public from the miserable debacles of the current executive and legislative branches. Those wanting to turn a blind eye are the ones wishing to exploit the cheap labor of the illegal immigrants in harvesting crops, construction, child care, lawn care, textiles etc. Bush was for a backdoor amnesty but seems to have changed his mind. Rumor has it that what blew Bush's mind was reading a program for a Hispanic conclave where he was invited to speak. So I called up god and asked him about the attitudes of Tancredo, Buchanan and Bush. He told me that he would send me a dream in which all would be explained. This is what I dreamt.
This will be my last communiqu' from god. I was getting hooked on calling him like many people who use these 900 numbers for sex talk. To escape the temptation, I called the phone company and put a block on all 900 calls, so even if I am tempted to call him I won't be able to, and I won't waste my money. |
