Do They Vote?

All the news today is nothing but illegal immigrant rallies, up and down the land. Everywhere, it seems, illegals are boycotting work, marching and marching, demanding rights.

Except for the Irish, of course. Low key group, heads down, don't rock the boat, don't cause a fuss. Being a politically minded people, they beg and plead with Ted Kennedy and John McCain to do something about their status. All they ask is the opportunity to work, pay their taxes and raise their children, but if they could please go home to visit and be allowed back in, it would be grand. Many a mammy's gone to her grave without a last kiss from the child struggling to make a living in New York or Boston. Good citizens all, keeping quiet while praying for Congress to have pity, they've been at work today.

And then we have the Hispanic element, millions of Mexican migrants who are demanding to be granted special status because they are working for low wages. The Democrats are on their side, with them one hundred percent, and pay no attention to George Bush and the guest worker program he's proposed. We'll let you stay, we'll let you be citizens. Just remember who gave you these handouts.

What power do the illegal migrants have? Why, none whatsoever. There's others sneaking in or coming over the border legally, sponsored by families who were amnestied in the last time around. Protest, stay away from work, and if you get fired, there's someone else waiting to fill the position.

Do you think the politicians really care? About a group of people who can't vote? Ho, ho, ho rubbish - you have no power here.

Secure the borders, that's what the American people are demanding. And they vote. Eventually, the politicians will listen. Or they'll lose their jobs, and there's always another fella waiting in the wings to fill the position.
