I couldn't take it
I went. It was supposed to start at 2:30pm but it started after 3PM. As I sat there waiting for people to trickle in, I noticed that I barely recognized anyone. Not that I'm a mover or a shaker, but most people didn't look familiar at all. Anyway they got the thing started off by doing one of those prayer to the four winds jobbies. I don't know. I don't speak Mayan so who knows what they were doing. But when they started the rally portion it got way too loud for me, it was indoors, which tells you how much power this lobby has, that they were able to quickly organize getting an indoor venue that can seat a few hundred because of the weather. I stayed long enough for them to do the thing where they say a city's name so all the people from that city will stand up and cheer. This was where I learned everything I needed to know. The biggest delegation was from Boston, but there were also groups from Central Falls, Providence and Pawtucket. (That's all Rhode Island in case you don't know.) And when the group from New Bedford stood up it was about 30 people, 40 tops. There was a rally in New Bedford, about a raid in New Bedford, and the vast majority of people were not from New Bedford. What does that tell you? I even saw that Ali dude who was on O'Reilly last night. The next thing on the agenda was to hold hands and pray. I shit you not. We always joke about people holding hands and singing Kumbaya but that's basically what was about to happen so I split before I blew a tube. I'll be damned if I was going that far undercover.
But I had heard enough. The interpreter girl said something about "pushing the system" to get justice for the illegal aliens. And that they had the solidarity of the whole world. Honestly why do people think they are entitled to everything that everyone else has. And why do they insist on throwing God into everything? That pisses me off more than anything. And the whole world does not back you. Who is lying to these people?
They handed out all these little flyers. One for a rally coming up later, which I thought about scanning but I don't want to advertise for them. Anyway this is what part of it said:
"On March 6th, 361 leather workers, mostly from Guatemala and El Salvador, were taken away in a military style raid on the Michael Bianco Inc. factory in New Bedford. In a terrifying scene hundreds of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents surrounded the building, burst in and blocked the exits." Exsqueeze me? What were they supposed to do? Jazz walk into the from door while criminals ran out the back? Notice how they use words like "terrifying" and "military style" to try to make it seem so tragic. We've all watched TV shows and movies where there was a raid of some kind. It's not supposed to be festive. They bust in and say 'don't move'. At which point I would suggest you don't move. If you do they're gonna chase you, and at that point, you're just scaring yourself.
"Families have been torn apart. About 100 children were stuck with baby sitters, caretakers and others creating a humanitarian crisis." What kind of babysitters were these? I mean you left the kids with them, so it must have been a humanitarian crisis that they were in everyday when you went to work. If children with babysitters is a humanitarian crisis maybe we should tell those people in Darfur that we can't be bothered with them because there are kids in Massachusetts watching SpongeBob and snacking on fruitloops in houses that *GASP!* aren't their own. OH THE HUMANITY!!!
"They are not guaranteed a lawyer and have none of the protections afforded by the criminal justice system." Uh, yeah, because it's not their justice system. But somehow I think they'll be getting lawyers. There is a whole page that I was also given that had a list of lawyers, covering both sides, who are sympathetic to their cause.
"We call on working people" Of course not the unemployed people you stole jobs from. You know better than to even ask for their help. "of good will to mobilize and express our outrage" You want people to express your outrage. Cute. "and demand that the detainees be released and reunified with their families." I'm supposed to demand from my government? Why don't you go home and demand from your government whatever conditions you need to stay there. Did that thought ever occur to any of you?
Further down the page it says "Full legalization for ALL NOW! Immediate, permanent, non-revocable legal residence for ALL who live here." Okay now I hate you people. "Immediate" is bad enough. "Permanent" is disgusting. "Non-revocable" is vomitous. How dare you? Who the hell do you think you are? "for ALL who live here." You mean freakin' Al Qaeda cells? Are you insane? There is a level of stupidity going on in this that I can't begin to fathom.

Illegal aliens suck
Let me tell you I've been against this illegal alien thing since those oh-so-wise college age children of illegals started demonstrating at universities to demand rights for their parents that they didn't deserve. Ever since they called attention to their criminal parents, the nation has been made aware of how many people are living in this country illegally. Some of us were outraged mainly because we hadn't noticed before. We hadn't realize what a crappy job the government was doing enforcing the laws that are put in place to protect all of us. We knew that they sucked in the war on drugs and all that, but I don't think anyone realized how something like illegal immigration had gotten so far out of control.
So as luck would have it, if you can call it luck, I live in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It's not a choice. I'm stuck here. I was born here. Tried to make my way in the world. Failed. And had to come home. In the time I've been back here it's been extremely difficult for me to find work. I've got a college education but no automobile which is basically all that matters because all the jobs, require one. See, we don't have decent public transportation. So if you don't have a car you can't get a job locally that requires you to work nights and weekend and you can't get a better job in the surrounding communities. I'd love to get a car, but without a job I don't have to money to do so. So you see the Catch 22 that I'm in. (In case you're wondering how I'm writing to you on a computer it's not mine. Nothing is nowadays.) Now that makes looking for work close to home, or where and when the buses do run, an imperative. And that makes those opportunities even leaner. And I have to tell you that in the years I've sent out applications, I've only been called in on a handful of interviews. And that means less than 5. The number of resumes I've sent out has been in the hundreds, maybe thousands. So you see that there is little opportunity for employment here.
That is, unless you're an illegal alien. You've heard about the raid here by now. When I heard, I did a little dance. I was glad to see some form of law enforcement actually enforcing the law. Maybe you've read some of my other posts and remember the problems I've had trying to beg the police and mayor's office to help me with the problems I have. So this was like the cool refreshing taste of a York Peppermint Pattie. And then the agendas come. Like a diarrhea hurricane.
Kennedy, Kerry, Frank. All retards that I've voted for in the past. Frank was the only one I vote for last time. Anywho these morons sold out the people who have been backing them for their entire careers. Oh did I forget to mention that almost everyone in New Bedford was pleased with the raid? We felt as if someone has finally come to save us from this oppression. The media on the other hand made it look like we support these people. Talk radio has been insane with people supporting ICE and everything that happened here. No one was hurt. I think a woman fell down the stairs by accident. And a kid was dehydrated, supposedly because it was nursing and was away from it's mother who was in custody, but actually because it had pneumonia. Mind you that baby might not have been to the doctor if it wasn't for the raid. But the brass tax is that crimes were committed, people were arrested and processed, and the vast majority of citizens support it and are thankful for it. The media neglects to tell you that.
I'm on my way to a Pro-Alien rally. I just want to see what their demeanor is. And I'll tell you when I get back. This ought to be good.
