Bubba called today to squawk about Mexicans. I have to give it to
Bubba, he is honest enough to not waste words differentiating their
legality, Mexicans are Mexicans who should all be living in Mexico.
Since Lou Dobbs went ballistic on this issue, Bubba now switches
channels from his default FOX NEWS to watch CNN in the Dobb's evenings,
which now happens to be the same time I turn off CNN for some Hank and
Homer.
I must say, old Lou has gone singularly berserk on this
immigration business. Perhaps as a child he was wrapped in a tortilla
and abandoned at a bus stop in Escarsaga. Whatever the problem it's
serious. In fact I just read that the main issues involved in all this;
that illegal immigrants pull down wages, cause unemployment, are more
criminal that average, appreciably affect taxes for services and are
going to blow up Chicago are either lies or highly exaggerated crap.
So Bubba called regarding some hippies who disrupted a Mexicans Go Home
rally in downtown Houston recently. There were almost a hundred
white-wing bigots, mostly middle aged women and whacked out Vietnam
veterans draped in flags, NRA LIFE MEMBER stickers on their sleeves and of course, with nothing better to do. This being Texas with that good Republican Base and all, about half
that many kids attended holding up signs reflecting upon that bigotry. Not much of
a demonstration either way you look at it, but it was pleasant seeing
some young people take to the streets doing the right thing rather than
whooping and hollering in front of the Death Chamber down here in
Huntsville.
So Bubba joined the Minutemen Border Patrol
and wants me to ride down to Brownsville with him to man a guard post
for a week. I might go. I need a trip, and knowing Bubba, the van will
be full of beer and lots of chicken fried steak. And grits! What the
hell, I can get drunk in a field and plonk at stuff with Bubba's guns
for a few days. If I come across any Mexicans, I'll give them a ride up
to Houston on my way home. After all, the influx of Hispanics over the
years affecting the vote is the only reason Texas hasn't reinstated
slavery. Minutemen Woman Helps Murder Hispanic Family
