Sorry. Bad laundry joke. The devil made me type it; it's not my fault.
Anyway Will Durst at WorkingForChange has the goods on this whole anti-immigration hysteria thing.
“Can't let those damn immigrants in, they'll ruin everything.” A popular modern refrain taken from the original Iroquois. And as it turns out, the Iroquois were right.
Meanwhile WIIIAI helpfully imagines streets full of people waving flags - some of them Mexican flags, some American flags, and all of them made in China. The flags, I mean. Not the people of course.
If the Chinese were on top of things they'd start a flag waving service, save all the hassle and the shipping expense. You know, sort of like that praying service the Catholics do. “Two Mexican, one Bolivian, and three Danish flags will be waved in your name....” They'd make a bundle. That is, if we have anything left to pay them with. No tickee, no wavee, see how that works?
They could do flag burning the same way. Did you ever think that if the Rs were a little more particular about air pollution they could ban flag burning on environmental grounds? Just wondering.
Oh well. Durst figures we'd have a hard time building a 15-foot high fence along the 2,000-mile long Mexican border without Mexican labor. He's probably right.
