MOVING TO MEXICO

Dear President Obama:


I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.

We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico , and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements.

We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.

I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way over?

Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3 Please print all Mexican government forms in English.

4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.

5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history..

6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.

7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.

9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico but I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least! one Eng lish-speaking officer.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put U. S. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.

13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy..

14. I want to receive free food stamps.

15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.

16. I'll need Income tax credits so although I don't pay Mexican Taxes, I'll receive money from the government.

17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov't. pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car..

18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who walk over to the U..S. from Mexico .

I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

Thank you so much for your kind help.You're the man!!!

You forgot to make the only made up element that would matter...make half a dozen of Mexico's biggest industries utterly dependent on the importation of low wage workers like me from America, without which they would tumble into the gutter overnight.

'Course, that wouldn't make the idiotic RWWJ email chain letter sound nearly as smart as it does...you know, having to use facts and stuff.

Fish on...

Todd

geez I thought a different apologist would chime in before you Todd...of course Francis doesn't get reemed much here and has plausible deniability since he got this in his email and all...

Eastern Washington farm hires 300 Jamaican workers

A farm in Eastern Washington is employing hundreds of Jamaican workers to replace the illegal immigrants it lost after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigation last year.

Gebbers Farms in Brewster, WA, which grows apple and cherry trees, is hiring 300 workers from Jamaica through the H-2A visa program, issuing temporary agricultural visas.

Gebbers Farms is certified through the Department of Labor to hire foreign workers.

Mike Gempler, with the Washington Growers League, told KIRO Radio's Dave Ross, that US citizens get the opportunity to apply for the jobs, but that the farm still didn't find enough Americans to harvest its fruit.

Gempler said, "The problem is there's no guarantee that the people looking for jobs now will have legal documents. So you have businesses that are subject to enforcement actions by Department of Homeland Security."

Gempler added that Jamaica has a long history of sending people to the U.S. for farm jobs. "I think they just wanted to try out this particular program."

Jamaica's Minister of Labour and Social Security, Pearnel Charles, held a ceremony to send off the first 50 farm workers May 5. Another group departed the island May 12 and the remaining employees will leave June 3.

According to the Jamaica Observer, Charles said it was the "conduct and performance which would determine whether their contracts are renewed at the end of the six-month period."

Why isn't this farmer in jail? If he was found to have illegal immigrants working for him, he's proven he can't operate a business legally. He should have had his farm confiscated, sold, and he should be doing time.

The easy answer is that the USA is not Mexico.

Fish on...

Using that same logic, the farmer I used to buck bales for as a teenager should be in jail also... he paid us with cash and dinner...

So you're advocating increased government oversight of the populace? The 'baggers ain't gonna like that.

Perhaps, depending on how much he paid you. But more than likely, you'd be guilty of not reporting your income for tax purposes.

And to think of all that money I made mowing lawns that I paid no taxes on... Jeez, its no wonder we are in such a mess now...

If you don't like your idiocy pointed out, quit cut-n-pasting idiotic things.

If you made enough mowing lawns to exceed the threshold of nonreportable income, and did not report, then you are part of the problem. It's really that simple.

And yet you suggested we adopt their policy....

I just like the fact that Grandpa (grizz1) is still slinkin' around on the sidelines, lookin' to instigate on occasion. He had previously stated that he was above doin' that.

Note to self...
Farm...Eastern Washington...Jamaicans....wonder?

And I just noticed Blades is on! Hey Blades lets fish the Skagit for Kings tomorrow!

You are inferring then that the entire cut-n-paste was sarcasm? You don't agree with positions such as:



If you're not consistent, how can we be sure you really know what you're talking about?

You're the one that did the cut-n-paste you're trying to back peddle on, not me.

What? Is Calderon the one who sent out the mass email that Francis decided to C&P?

He's one sly leader, that Calderon.

Fish on...

Todd

Jamaicans, eh?

At least Mexicans don't have a stipulation in their religion that they have to kill all white people.

Just to knock up the fat ones.


My apologies. I've spent the last week dealing with contractors that are circling smelling Insurance Blood. I'm more crabby than usual.
