Amazing how we've suddenly discovered Mexicans.
Mexicans all over the place. Cutting the grass. Washing the dishes. Killing the pigs. Pulling the beets. Mexicans everywhere -- to hear the Republicans tell it, anyway.
Funny how all these Mexicans showed up just as GOP Congressmen and their lobbyist buddies are heading to court like a bunch of Enron executives. How the folks from South of the Border changed from lettuce pickers, gardeners and garbage collectors to petential terrorists and inplacable threats to the Ameican Way of Life about the time Iraq turned to pus, the NSA got caught with their ears to the national keyhole, middle income people realized rich folks were getting more in tax cuts than they'd be taking home next year and a guy driving a cowboy Cadillac needed a hundred dollar bill and a fistful of singles to fill up.
Yeah, our kids are getting blown up, our constitution is getting ripped up and our oil supply is drying up and we're supposed to be worried there are too many Mexicans cleaning our hotel bathrooms, fixing our roofs and watching our kids.
Somehow it reminds me of what George Corley Wallace said after he lost his first run for governor of Alabama way back in 1958 -- "I'll never be outniggered again."
Well, Condi won't let George Bush say exactly that, but that's what he's doing -- the only difference is the skins are a lighter shade of brown and the accent is different.
When will we start hearing about the administration's "Final Solution to the Illegal Problem?"
