“A day without immigrants”

“Seems that in Chicago, there are gonna be massive protests over the recent actions of ICE in rounding up illegal immigrant criminals….That is, folks who have committed a crime HERE IN THE US AFTER ENTERING ILLEGALLY….And that, is somehow unfair.

So, a Day Without Immigrants…..(they forget to say Illegal, but that is passed by the media)……And, of course, they won’t just stay home quietly, which would make an impression. Instead, (surprise!!) there will be protests and gatherings and such.

And, oddly, a bunch of businesses in the greater Chicago area will be closed ….Restaurants, service facilities, other low wage paying, (relatively) unskilled job producing businesses. Odd, when I worked in restaurants, I could never afford to take a day off……

All because some criminals have been deported. No massive deportations, although, apparently, the threat of that has a LOT of folks nervous….it has , from reports, seriously impacted the Mexican (Latino) business community…..The one that serves the illegals.

ETA: It was pointed out to me that if ICE is smart, they’ll observe which businesses are closed, in order to know where to look for undocumented illegal immigrant workers later…

‘Yknow….I fail to see the problem….

“Shame on ICE for putting New York’s immigrant communities—four million strong—in a state of panic,” said Steven Choi of the New York Immigration Coalition.”

And:

“Every arrest produces fingerprints that are sent to federal law enforcement officials.”

Just what is the problem here?

Undocumented immigrants invaders should live in fear of being caught and deported.  They should be afraid. They should be afraid of breaking ANY law….for fear of being deported.

Notice in the article that many countries ….Australia, Canada and others deport criminal immigrants at rates higher than the US….

And, in my opinion, anyone who puts race or culture before their fellow citizens and the law is a traitor to their country. 

I miss all of the dogs

That I have been blessed to share a portion of my life with. Sometimes I think about getting another dog…But I’m not ready yet.

But some days, I miss some of them more than other days. Lucky, Kaira, Gip, Schmoo. Others too. Even the Poms.

Some days it is terrible. I miss ’em so bad.

I have the cats, but it ain’t the same.

Am very confuzed here….

So lemme see if I got this straight here:

On the one hand:  Liberals say that “Terrorism has NOTHING to do with Islam”.

On the other hand: “If we ban Muslims from entering the US…Especially from those 7 countries….then we will create more terrorists”.

Odd, that, Innit?

First world problems:

So I was at the grocery store…

In the produce section.

This woman was bitching about the quality of the green peppers. (they were pretty bad).

I pointed out that it was a great thing that they had any fresh green peppers AT ALL…It was, in fact, February. In North America. That 20 years ago, there would have been NONE available…unless frozen.

She really didn’t get it. As I said, “First World problems”.

None so blind…

…….as those who refuse to learn.

Yeah, a paraphrase.

But for so many, it is true.

There is no shame in being wrong. There is shame in refusing to admit it, when someone points it out…Refusing to learn, or even BOTHER to learn where or when you went wrong. Of refusing to learn, or expand your knowledge. Of insisting that that which you believe is correct, even when the evidence causes doubt.

I don’t expect people to believe when it is pointed out that they have an error in their knowledge or assumptions….I DO expect them to investigate and learn and decide if they are correct or not. Failure to do so is childish. Assuming one is always correct is foolish.

We have all been guilty of that, I suppose. I certainly have….

But some of us grew up.

22 years

And a family….here in the US……22 years.

Yet she couldn’t be bothered to try to become a citizen.

Got caught using a false Social Security number…and did the thing she thought was right, which was to show up at the immigration official’s office when she was scheduled to.

By all rights, all accounts, a model citizen…..
Except she wasn’t, and apparently never wanted to be, nor saw a need to be, a citizen.

Now she is deported.

While I feel for her and her family, when one breaks the rules, one often must pay the price for that. I don’t feel sorry for her. Were it not for Obama’s politics, she’d have been deported years ago. Being a Felon and all…
Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos is paying the price for her behavior. 

Interesting coincidence:

The Left has begun using the word “Nazi” to describe anyone that they disagree with….it has become their “hate” word in the past few weeks (Seems “Racist” doesn’t work anymore?)

And, oddly, we are shown on the Television and Print media a great spate of incidents where people are drawing, spray painting, and using stickers of…..Swastikas…..Generally where there are a great number of people of Jewish extraction.

Is it just that the Media has “suddenly” decided to show us all these incidents? (or is it a false flag thing?)

Or are the Swastikas and other “Nazi” symbols…..part of the campaign to make “Nazi” the new hate word? The new epithet..?

One wonders. I have come to believe that there are no coincidences when it comes to the Media and attempts to influence public opinion.
