Poem for the Tax payers

[Humabdos]

I come for a visit, get treated regal,
So I stay, who care I illegal?

I cross ocean, swin the river, poor and broke,
Take bus to see employment folk.

Nice man treat me good in there,
Say I need to see welfare.

Welfare say, "You come no more,
We send cash right to your door."

Welfare checks, they make you wealthy,
Medicaid it keep you healthy!

By and by, I got plenty money,
Thanks to you, American dummy.

Write to friends in motherland,
Tell them come as fast as you can.

They come in turbans and Ford trucks,
I buy big house with welfare bucks.

They come here, we live together,
More welfare checks, it gets better!

Fourteen families they moving in,
But neighbor's patience wearing thin.

Finally, white guy moves away,
Now I buy his house, and then I say,

Find more wet backs for house to rent."
And in the yard I put a tent.

Send for family (they just trash),
But they too, draw the welfare cash!

Everything is very good,
And soon we own the neighborhood.

We have hobby--it's called breeding,
Welfare pay for baby feeding.

Kids need dentist?  Wife need pills?
We get free!  We got no bills!

American crazy!  He pay all year,
To keep welfare running here.

We think America darn good place!
Too darn good for the white man race.

**SEND THIS TO
EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER
YOU KNOW**

"Hoffa Questions Bush Administration Plan for
Cross-Border Trucking
Statement by James P. Hoffa, General President

December 17, 2002

In the war on terrorism, President Bush has emphasized the importance of homeland security, even creating a cabinet-level department to address this vital challenge. Yet by flinging open our southern frontier to cross-border trucking at this time, he has set the stage for compromising our security, trashing the environment and threatening the livelihood of American workers.
As a condition for opening the border under terms of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Department of Transportation was to issue regulations governing the process. But in doing so, the agency ignored the National Environmental Policy Act, and with no meaningful facts to back it up, the agency found “no significant impact” and insisted that opening the border would not harm the environment. This, despite studies showing that Mexican trucks on average generate 150 percent more smog-forming nitrogen oxide and 200 percent more dangerous particulate matter than U.S. trucks.

In addition, there is no system in place to systematically inspect the emissions of trucks coming over the border from Mexico. These trucks may also be exempt from a 1998 settlement with manufacturers requiring U.S. trucks to remove “defeat devices” that permit them to test clean at inspection sites but run dirty on the highway.

To oppose this threat to public health, a collection of environmental, labor and business organizations, including the Teamsters Union, Public Citizen, the Environmental Law Foundation and the Natural Resources Defense Council, filed a lawsuit last May in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

But President Bush indicated that he would not wait on the court's action. On November 27, he lifted the moratorium on Mexican trucks traveling throughout the United States. The court is considering a request by our coalition for an emergency stay until the environmental impact of the decision can be fully assessed.

Yet the dangers posed by cross-border trucking are by no means limited to air quality. Last January, the U.S. General Accounting Office confirmed that Mexican truck safety isn't up to U.S. standards. The agency found that the U.S. lacks sufficient inspection resources at the border to ensure the safety of the American traveling public, and that Mexico lacks adequate standards and enforcement to ensure the safety of its own trucking system.

The implications for homeland security are staggering. Last May, nearly eight tons of sodium cyanide disappeared from a truck hijacked in Hidalgo, about 100 miles north of Mexico City. Because of their low pay and long hours, Mexican drivers will continue to be vulnerable to mercenary offers from parties that may have more than larceny on their minds.

“Free trade” is nothing more than snake oil when two countries don’t apply the same set of rules, and tens of thousands of American workers will pay the price. By bowing to extremist laissez-faire ideology, President Bush has placed the future of homeland security and public health in the hands of exploited and poorly trained Mexican drivers. "

Border is open for business

The influx of illegal Mexicans seems to have subsided up here in MN as far as I can tell, or at least stabilized. No jobs here, no reason to come. When or If the economoy ever picks up, and business starts hiring again they will be back in droves. Im used to them now, they are just mosquitoes, a necessary evil.
There will always be a need for someone to flip the burgers and scrub the floors. However there should be a concerted drive, not only by the US government but by the Mexican government also, to get these folks to comply with Federal INS regulations. If they pay their $1000, and start paying their taxes, I dont really care if they are here or not. Loud, rude and mannerless people that they are.

Hum,

Its not just the folks from down south.  The school district where I teach has over 50% of the students on free and reduced lunch and breakfast.  Last year a lady started an after school latch-key program.  It won't be long and we will be feeding them supper.  These kids are 99% white.  If these parents can get their kids in a special education program(IEP), then they get more free money.  When is it going to stop?  When will people see that we are creating a 2nd larger generation of free-loaders?

This has been a unpaid announcement for lower taxes!

You have three users of the American system.

1 You have Hums illegals

2 You have the lazy Americans

3 Politicians and Top managers who steal the big money.

4 The middle class get it from all directions and are slowly being brought down to the lower class through taxes for all the lazy people and greed of top executives who continually give each other raises while cutting the common workers pay. The weaker the middle class become the weaker this country will be.

Let's not forget that the rich will soon be paying no taxes at all.
