My thoughts on illegal immigrants

I have a friend in the restaurant business. She tells me it is hard as heck to find people today willing to work. This is a college town, it should be chock full of kids looking for a job, any job. The problem is these kids have no work ethic. When they graduate, if they graduate, they will move into the work force in upper levels. Many of them want all the perks daddy has with out doing the thirty years of work daddy did to earn them. So these kids show up at the fast food joint, and expect to do little or nothing. She has even had cases where first day hires want to tell seasoned employees what to do and how to do it. That does not fly.
She recently told me that the best workers are foreign born. They arrive hungry. Not for food, but for an opportunity to make a better life for them selves. The down side is, they are easy prey for abuse. They don't want to jeopardize a job and risk deportation. It creates an ugly and dangerous situation.
I sympathize with them. They risked their lives crossing into this country looking for a better life. That does not mean I agree with them. I want a secure border first and foremost. A barrier that keep people from making the dangerous trek across   the worst parts of the south west. That needs to be job one.
I also sympathize with employers. Until we do something to make people work, the lazy will find ways to hang on and get their EBT cards filled and live like leeches off of us. Ending benefits, and punishing the people who enable them needs to be job two. when employers would rather hire a foreigner, we have a problem. If foreign workers are found in a place of business. make the owner show that he tried to hire natural born workers and could not. employee records would suffice. My friend has a file cabinet full of folders on kids she hired, and fired because they had an attitude and would not do the job. I draw a line between businesses who are trying to hold on vs those who take advantage of the foreign workers.
 What to do with the ones we have here? I am not necessarily in favor of blanket deportations. First, I would make it that a foreigner who arrived illegally could never earn the right to vote. Same for their children. I would let them stay, I would let them work, but I would not extend privileges to them. I also would not allow them to receive welfare payments of any type. Hell, I want to end those for the leeches we have now. Same for free medical. They either pay the ER bill, or the Mexican government does.
I would also tax all Western Union transactions going across the border. Minimum tax, 25%. The can apply it on their tax return when they file at the end of the year.
This is just a start. We have an economy that is in dire straits due to the management of the present administration, we need to be working on getting it healthy. Only a few years ago we were in a boom time. Those foreign workers filled a niche that appeared bottomless. We welcomed them with open arms. The tide has turned though, and its not right to turn on them since they are not the problem. Many of them hold beliefs which are not compatible with the main stream communism of the democrat party, so lets not push them to support communism and the tyranny they fled to come here.

Well Well Well

I've seen several reports recently about the lesbian waitress in New Jersey who claimed to have been stiffed on a tip by folks who supposedly left her a nasty note about her life style choice. Its appears all is not as it appears.
One problem with grabbing the spot light, is that its glare oft times reveals your flaws. Its starting to look like Dayna is a serial liar. Part of her resume is a stint in the Marine Corps. It now looks like she was booted by the Corps. Ok, not every one is perfect, and seriously, the Marines are not every ones cup of tea. The are a lot of good people who don't measure up to their standards, and if a person is not fit for the Corps, its best they not be there for every ones sake. My guess is she left after they refused to give her any awards for her heroics in combat in Iraq err Afghanistan err New York. Yeah, shes a trooper, a Garret trooper. Or at least has as many tall tails as the average REMF.
Fiends are now telling all about her. The good news is she does not have brain cancer,(but does she have a brain?) was never raped by her father, did not loose a child to cervical cancer, and did not wind up with a boat in her living room after Sandy. The bad news is she has not run out of tall tails to tell.
My bet on what happened is that she printed a second copy of the ticket. If there was a print error, they will make a second copy with out a duplicate tag on them, then either doctored it herself, or had a friend do it for her. I do not buy for a New York minute that a co worker did this to offend her. No waitress worth her salt lets some one else get at her receipts. When you work for tips, you treat them like gold.
Some say Time will tell, but shit like this usually only makes it as far as The Enquirer.
Thanks Dayna for proving that its a dog eat dog world when you don't follow GODs commands.
Oh, and Wounded Warriors? Don't hold your breath waiting for her to donate the money she defrauded. She has no honor.

Damn right its a civil rights issue

Mark Suckerberg, the idiot savant inventor of farcebook is switching feet. He went on ABC's this week and stated that immigration reform is one of the biggest civil rights issues facing this nation. He's is right in a way, it is a big civil rights issue. millions of Americans legally here are being denied jobs because we allow illegals to live and work without repercussions.

Mark, next time pick get a clue for a billion dollars. All the money in your checking account won't make you right, so shut up and stick to what you know, computer code.

Possum of the United States

Bad But....

An old woman goes to get a tattoo

" I want Tom Cruise here and Matt Damon here ! ( Pointing at her upper thighs )

As the work goes on the lady starts complaining.

"I don't think that looks much like them !"

" Trust me lady once I am through it will " , replies the tat man.

When he is finished the women is still not convinced .

" That's because you're looking at them upside down" says the tat man, handing her a mirror.

" Well I guess you are right but why the hell did you put Phil Robertson between them ?

A good idea

High speed chases are a nightmare unfolding. When the bad guys decide to punch it, life gets dicy. The police often have no clue what may be prompting the person to run, and it gets ugly fast. The recent shooting in New Mexico is one example of how things can get off kilter.
In that instance, the police shot at a van after the driver became belligerent during what should have been a routine speeding stop. She sped off, her 14 year old kid got in the officers face, and eventually another officer shot at the vehicle, creating a hue and cry because children were in the vehicle.
Yes, it was just a speeding violation, and the response by the cops was over the top, shooting at a vehicle containing small kids. Was it though? The cops had no idea why she acted the way she did. She might have had a vehicle loaded with drugs, or an escaped fugitive hiding in the back.
Police now have a new option though. Its called a GPS cannon. It attaches to the front grill of the squad car, and fires a tracking device so they can follow th vehicle with out a full blown chase, and catch the bad guys later.
Lets take it one step further though. Every time An officer makes a stop, protocol is to place a hand on th rear of the vehicle, leaving a print so if things go bad, there is physical evidence on the vehicle. On board cameras make it an obsolete gesture. Maybe what we should have, is the officer placing a GPS tracker on the back of the vehicle, so if the driver decides to flee,  they have a homing beacon, at least until its discovered and removed. Basically, a zoomback with a magnetic strip on it.
Some of my rants lead people to think I'm anti cop, I'm not. They are an important part of society, and they are there in time of trouble to report what went wrong and hopefully bring justice.  Stuff like the shooting in Washington, the molestation in Deming, and other over the top tactics should not be tolerated. The police are there to serve us, and we need them. We need them to know their place, and remember that they are our servants, not our masters.
Back to the device, if this tool can take some of the danger out of the equation, its a good thing. I see that situations can be defused rather then escalated, and handled with less lethal force then a high speed chase generates. One other benefit is that it would allow officers to obtain warrants rather then making searches and seizures that get questioned in courts from podunk all the way to SCOTUS. Keeping police out of questionable situations improves life for them and for us. The life it saves might be am officer, but it might very well be a van load of kids with an idiot mother.

Winter has arrived

Freezing rain today here in Kansas, and the Communists in Washington have rewritten filibuster rules so they can get Obastards nominations through the senate with out debate. We said it would be a cold day in hell when we let them get away with this, so I guess that confirms it, Kansas is hell. What they could not accomplish in 2009 and 10 when they had complete control, they will now attempt to do before the 2014 elections. They know this is their one last chance at forcing this down our throats.
One side of me hopes that republicans get a super majority in 2014 and use it to impeach every last one of his nominations. The other part of me knows the party of stupid will never do what needs to be done to fix this mess. They will reach across the isle instead. Kinda like a woman with an abusive husband.
GOD is punishing us, and our foolish leaders are his tools.
