"No appetite in Congress for immigration reform"

Dear Congress,
Your boss says you have no "appetite" for immigration reform because you've had a tough year and you have elections coming up. I'm so sorry you find your work so difficult. I'm sure we could find other positions for you.... how about picking strawberries in California? .... Chicken farming?.... A fishing boat in Alaska?

I really resent your spending time (and none of your over paid salary) running for re-election. What say we limit your advertising. Think of all the contribution money that could be pumped into more relevant issues if we just posted your voting records online, published them in the paper... and... gee... just let them stand for themselves and speak to who you are and what you will do. Then you wouldn't have to bother to campaign and could get more great work done.

Fiddling while Rome burns went out of fashion a long time ago.

  1. I just saw on the news that if you are an illegal immigrant in Mexico, you get to go to jail for 2 years! I guess they have a better system than we do!

    One other thought, wouldn't we be just as upset if Russians and Canadians, etc. were crossing our northern border and sending their kids to our schools and using our free emergency rooms? I don't think illegal immigration has anything to do with someone's skin color!!

  2. You're right, Sherry... illegal immigration has nothing to do with skin color... but the race card is a great red herring
