Letter my mom wrote to AZ Gov.

[shortylickens]

most states would be better off returning to territory status. dump all the unfunded fed mandates and restore state rights and sovereignty.

I heard they tried that once and it wasnt so hot.

I am on his permanent shit list no matter what I post!

Well, to be fair, you do create a distressingly disproportionate number of overly polemic blog'pinion based threads and then treat those transparently one-sided screeds as the indisputably sober truth and then stick your right-wing whisk into that big bowl of faux and whip up your own patented multi-syllabic froth of overly aerated truthiness which you then try to serve to us as if it were as honest as a nicely done porterhouse, so . . .

There is no such thing as a race card. Its a nice catch phrase, but that's about it. In 1963 we still had a segregated population. For her in 1963, a white woman from Sweden, of course she could follow proper channels. Nothing was barred from her. She could get education and a regular job. Now in 1963 as woman she had to fight through, but she wasn't being hunted down, being knocked down with water hoses, beaten senseless with billy clubs, and had big dogs turned loose on her just for walking down the street. So while immigrating here for her was tough no doubt, to compare her to someone from Mexico or Africa is a joke. Especially considering the social climate in 1963.

I am not sure at all, but I doubt if there were even strict rules for immigration in 1963. Zebo seems like a cool dude, so if this is his mom, she's probably a great lady. But her immigration is not comparable to many others because she did not face the same barriers. I am a straight shooter, I call it down the middle, always have. I step on toes here because far too often folks post their clear prejudices and I give the other side of the story. When it comes to social stuff, folks here have a tendancy to reach a bit for examples.

She said it was tough. You wouldn't believe how many times we were lectured about "I was in foreign country away from my family" "i came here with $90" "worked 3 jobs" "raised you ungrateful kids" blah blah blah "WTF is wrong with you kids given everything by your father and I"

True story. I'm sure it is tougher for minorities, no doubt. Anyway I think her point was we need to have checks on immigration just like when she had to do it or else it's a free for all and race to bottom. Guess who is hurt most by unlimited immigration? Traditional minorities and uneducated.

I second this. Despite the media hype/legend, the general run of Swedish chicks are more . . . sturdy . . . than anything else.

The rep might come more from their long established openness to "casual" sex at a time -- 30's until the '60's -- when that attitude wasn't as prevalent in the US.

Even my Dad had stories!

Another lesser known thing is that Swedish females from the sticks are really down on Swedish guys in general. They say the guys prefer getting drunk to getting busy!

On personal note, though, my one successful threesome was with two visiting Swedish babes in Munich!

Young and shallow fool that I was, every time I'd had two women at a party interested in me simultaneously, I always tried to promote the idea that there was enough Perk to go 'round for all, if you know what I mean.

This always ended with both women walking away in disgust, until this one magic time!

But let me just say this, outside of pr0n, no one man can fully satisfy two women at once, it's hard work!

Ahhh, let me just add this: In my experience, more than one Swedish babe has fallen into the category of "looks better with her clothes off than on." Swedish chicks tend to be on the muscular/sturdy/large side anyway, so when you get one who is nevertheless in near perfect proportion but who just wears jeans and a non-showy shirt, MY, when those clothes come off!

Yes sir - more babushka less Victoria Silvstedt. Umm my dad is 100% Irish so there ya go.. Dude still gets in bar fights at 70 and runs over guys with golf carts who hit balls at him & talk shit. Dad aint right in da head but I love him.

If there were no illegals, there would be less demand for teachers

True

less demand for teachers = lower salaries and/or higher unemployment.

false

Teachers, public teachers, salaries are funded by the tax payer, which means their income is basically "What will the tax payer pay". Lower illegals will equal less teachers, that's fact, but overall it will also equal more funds for teachers. Funding for different districts won't suddenly and automatically disappear, however, the excess teachers might (Why have 1 teacher to 2 students?)

Couple that with lower resource costs all around and you've got a net positive thing.

The OP's mom received personal financial benefit from educating some of those same illegals she now wants deported.

She would have been payed the same with or without the illegals. If anything, she had to work harder for the same pay.

She got hers, screw those AZ teachers who are gonna get laid off.

Yes, because they can't get a job anywhere else . For any cooperation, laying people off is a part of life, why it is so bad for the US government to lay someone off and yet perfectly fine for any other functioning organization is beyond me.

Heck, because of teachers unions, I would be surprised if more then 100 teachers got layed off as a result of this. The more likely outcome would probably be that new teachers aren't hired to replace retiring teachers. Sucks for the new teachers, but such is life. Some careers are hard to get into.

I don't know, my Dad came here as a PHd Physicist, you can bet that's a lot harder than what most people do everyday.

 

[preCRT]

other than those 3 nuns who couldn't vote in indiana, who doesn't have a driver's license and is over the age of 18?

How about those who are visually impaired aka blind people?
Also those with seizure disorders, etc.

We are just going about the whole illegal thing the wrong way. This is the way we need to deal with the situation
