Immigration bills around the country are leaning on reduce public help for undocumented immigrants. In Georgia, that bastion of racial harmony, Republican Govenor Sonny Perdue has signed a bill into law called The Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act which, among a number of things, would keep emergency rooms from accepting undocumented immigrants. So, if you are undocumented, living in Georgia, you have a broken leg, you go to the emergency room, sorry, no help for you! In fact, you're under arrest.
I hate Republicans. I really do.
I'm sure many of you are thinking, well, they are here illegally. What about that? Are they? Well, lets just take a closer look. Who will this Law affect most? Mexicans. Mexican migrant workers. Of all of the people living in North America, who has a longer history? Americans? Sorry, Mexicans. Mexicans, my friends, are Native Americans and they've been living here for at least 20,000 years. They were here legally, that is, they were the very first humans to colonize this whole hemisphere. Who came here illegally? Hmmm, could it be Europeans? They came here, killed off huge numbers with muskets, syphilis, and Christianity, lied, cheated, and stole, and then hurded them off to live on the most arid land of the plains.
Lets not forget the Mexican-American War. President James Polk lied to the American people so he could start a war with Mexico to capture Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California in the name of Manifest Destiny and Western Expansion. If I remember correctly, I think the justification was 'terror.' Quite a unifying theme.
Hypocrisy, anyone?
