MEXICANS
Something has been bugging me.

It would appear the far left wackos dont want to put a stop to illegal immigration.
They claim Mexicans are good people just looking for a better life,and we as Americans OWE it to them.
Whatever.

It would also appear the far right wackos dont want to stop illegal immigration.
They claim there are jobs Americans wont do.
Whatever.

I disagree with that line of thinking. I truly believe there isnt a job some American wont do, FOR THE RIGHT PRICE.
So, a more honest statement would be "Americans wont do some jobs because they suck and an American cant make enough money to support himself and his family in a comfortable fashion."
So why cant they just say that?

And as for the far lefties claims. Maybe it is somewhat true.
But whenever someone throws out an idea to stem the flood of illegals coming across, they say that isnt American, blah blah blah. Then they ask, "O.K. if your going to put up a fence along the southern border, what about the northern border? Are you going to put up a fence along the northern border?"
Well, I guess if we start having an exodus of illegals coming from Canada, and we start having a problem with drug smugglers coming across the northern border, then yes, I would. I have a feeling we wont be having that problem anytime soon though.

The problem is the southern border.
Bands of illegals are coming across everyday, and night. They are destroying private property, and the property owners are not allowed to do anything about it. There have been reports of the mexican MILITARY flying across the border in helicopters and landing on private property and harrasing AMERICANS. There was also a report of the mexican military flying across and trying to steal a fuel tanker fueling a southern AZ. ranchers off road fuel tank. that Tuscon based fuel transport company reportedly no longer services border residents.
And then there are the drug smugglers.

Yet neither sides wackos wants to do anything.

How about our govt. do what its MAIN job is, and protect its CITIZENS from foreign invasion? Because thats what is going on.

I believe we can do this very simply.
Since neither sides wackos , (who are the ones that are currently running our country) want to stop the illegals from coming here, how about we make it simple and easy for those wanting to come here and improve their life?
Im saying, let them come through the border crossings.

It currently costs alot of money and time.
They have to pay smugglers, they have to make a dangerous trek across the southwest deserts.
So have a simple, fast, and inexpensive background check.
Then let them come through the border crossings.
And set up some kind of education system to teach them about American ways and laws.
And build a fence.

If you would do this, it would make the Immigration services job, and the Border Patrols job much easier.
Because if it was easy for those coming across looking for a better life to get here, then the only people sneaking across in the middle of the desert are definately criminals up to no good.

Thanks. Hey, good luck at MMI. I was going to go, had some problems and wont be able to right now. Maybe later. Maybe not. Im going to go for some welding classes and try and get my certification. Then go on to take some fab courses, then hopefully some repair courses. Still open to MMI for that, but keeping my options open.
Good news for you on the weather. Its going to cool down Sat. But its supposed to rain a ton.
Good luck finding a place thats affordable

I dunno, I always found it funny* when the evening news would say that INS raided the local area and deported many illegals...then the next morning at least three restaurants would have big "CLOSED" signs in the windows.


*Like funny amusing and ironic, not really funny ha-ha.

Thanks, I'll need it... And if you ever want a tour or to just come check it out, let me know! That sounds like a bit of work too, I've done amateur welding on my uncle's farm, and yeah, I respect those that can do it well...
Better news on the weather... I'm home now! 62F and dry... Ahhh...
As for affordable housing, you're not kidding! Although we did find a little RV park that we'll be parking a 5th wheel in for me to live in during my attendance. Exit 205 off of I-17... Not sure it's the best neighborhood, but it's definitely not the worst!
