Raid on a Drug Dealer’s House in Mexico

BELOW ARE PICTURES TAKEN AFTER A RAID ON A DRUG DEALER’S HOUSE IN MEXICO. ARE YOU READY FOR THIS??

AREN’T WE GLAD THAT WE HAVE AN OPEN BORDER POLICY BETWEEN US? JUST LOOK AT HOW WELL ITS PAYING OFF……..

I THINK ALLOWING MEXICAN TRUCKERS IN THE U.S. IS A GREAT IDEA!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE MILLIONS OF REASONS WHY…

SEE HOW WELL THESE TRUCKERS ARE DOING? WHAT THE @#@%*@ ARE WE THINKING???

Notice that nearly 100% of this money is U.S. Currency!!! Do you now wonder why the cost of living has catapulted in our country??? I don’t… Some of the illegal aliens we’re letting in can afford anything at any cost!!! And for the ones who cannot… We’ll give it to them anyway!!!

AND WE HAVE TWO BORDER PATROL AGENTS IN PRISON FOR SHOOTING AND WOUNDING A WELL DOCUMENTED MEXICAN DRUG DEALER! WHO, BY THE WAY, WAS ARMED AND ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A CONVICTED (BY MEXICO) MURDERER.

MAKES A LOT OF SENSE, DOESN’T IT??? AUTOMATICS, SILENCERS… THEY’RE ALL HAVING A NICE LAUGH ABOUT THIS STUFF AT OUR EXPENSE!!!

And we want to give ILLEGAL ALIENS amnesty and not build the border fence because of funding!?!?!? Our country is bleeding from the outside in!!! Don’t you think it’s time we take back what WE have sacrificed for over 140 years for??? I do. Build the fence higher and deeper, tighten border control, and send EVERY illegal alien home!!! It’s called “illegal” for a reason!

I ran across something yesterday that surprised me. I should have thought of it but hadn’t until a lovely Mexican employee at a shop I frequent told me about it. She can’t speak Spanish. No sin. Her parents were probably born here or they entered the United States legally. They wanted to give their children a good life. The did what a lot of immigrants do – they adapted the culture of the country they lived in. They’re not ashamed to be Mexican but they didn’t want their children to suffer because they couldn’t speak English. When I told her that lately I go places and I can’t understand a word being said. I haven’t left town or the U.S., I’m in a local shop, but I’m the one who can’t understand a word being said. She said she thought it was rude. I agree with her. But one thing she said that really stood out, that she has Mexican customers who automatically speak Spanish to her assuming that she speaks it (don’t forget most companies only hire those who are bi-lingual in my state).

I’ve even had others who have told me that to solve the problem of my lack of understanding others, I should learn to speak Spanish. I don’t think so. I have had three years of Spanish in school. I can understand a lot of it. And if I go down to Mexico on vacation, I do use it. I won’t to make myself heard in this country.

I feel badly for those who are Mexican and are treated differently because Spanish isn’t their 1st language. They consider themselves Americans and many are citizens. They don’t deny their culture, they embrace it but first and foremost, they embrace the United States.

Another friend with the same problem pointed out a shirt she bought on-line recently. She said she wears it occasionally. Those who speak English assume she’s saying she doesn’t speak English. Those who speak Spanish realize she doesn’t speak Spanish.

This is an interesting look at a highly contentious subject…… Please read and pass on if you feel like it. It was e-mail to us here at OL, and left the names intact, since these folks were sending it to a newspaper anyhow. I want to give her credit for her fine brain and reasoning power. Well done, folks!

This is a very good letter to the editor. This woman made some good points. For some reason, people have difficulty structuring their arguments when arguing against supporting the currently proposed immigration revisions. This lady made the argument pretty simple.

NOT printed in the Orange County Paper…

Newspapers simply won’t publish letters to the editor which they either deem politically incorrect (read below) or which does not agree with the philosophy they’re pushing on the public. This woman wrote a great letter to the editor that should have been published; but, with your help it will get published via cyberspace!

New Immigrants From: “David LaBonte”

My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the OC Register which, of course, was not printed. So, I decided to “print” it myself by sending it out on the Internet.

Pass it along if you feel so inclined.

Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the Orange County Register:

Dear Editor:

So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren’t being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry.

Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today’s American is not willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home.

They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture.

Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity. Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out. My father fought along side men whose parents had come straight over from Germany , Italy , France and Japan . None of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan . They were defending the United States of America as one people. When we liberated France, no one in those villages was looking for the French-American or the German American or the Irish American. The people of France saw only Americans. And we carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country’s flag and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. These immigrants truly knew what it meant to be an American. They stirred the melting pot into one red, white and blue bowl.

And here we are in 2007 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I’m sorry, that’s not what being an American is all about. I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900’s deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better life. I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags.

And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty , it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the immigration bill. I wouldn’t start talking about dismantling the United States just yet.

Bravo, Rosemary, Bravo!!!

I am probably dreaming, but I want my government to consider me when making decisions about the United States. I want them to wonder if my life will be better or worse if amnesty is granted to millions of people who broke the law to come into this country. I want them to be sure it isn’t worse. I wasn’t born in the United States. My mother was an English war bride. who brought my brother and I over on the first ship of English war brides after WWII. In order to be able to board the ship, my mother had to go to several offices to get the necessary papers. I was young when she started the quest for paperwork and even though my father was a U.S. serviceman, she had to go through all the paperwork.

I’m definitely not against anyone legally coming to this country. It is a melting pot and it’s what this country was founded on. When my mother arrived here, she didn’t have a language barrier, but I’m sure as my grandparents had to learn to speak English when they arrived here from Poland, my mother would have also. Many of the holidays are different in England then they are here. But my mother would celebrate the holidays of this country. She’d tell us about the English holidays. She celebrated Thanksgiving – thankful her new country’s history. She was here for ten years and then she became a citizen of the U.S. We have a very special place in our hearts for England. But, we have a loyalty and a love for the United States.

But now millions of people may receive amnesty for their crime of sneaking into this country. A reward for doing wrong? I would get in more trouble for speeding – and would pay a bigger fine than someone else is punished for – for sneaking in to the U.S. They knew when they came here that it was illegal. They come here, they don’t learn the language, they keep their own traditions, they get financial aid and medical. We hear of our Veterans’ hospitals being overcrowded and without the proper care for our troops who have put their lives on the line for us. I wonder sometimes how hard it must be for soldiers coming home only to be in a country where English is becoming the second language.

It would be so different accepting these people if they were honest and if they would come to learn about the U.S. instead of expecting it to change for them. I’m writing this and I’m amazed.

I don’t like going out shopping and running errands all day and not hearing one person speak English. I’m the one in the foreign country. How horrible it is that I can be at the bank, the market, anyplace – and I can’t understand one word that anyone is saying? A friend of mine had two instances last week where the employees of the places she was shopping at couldn’t speak English. She said it was a lucky thing she learned Spanish in high school so she could speak to them. I think it’s sad that she feels that she’s lucky she knows Spanish – I think she would have been lucky to have them speak to her in English.

It’s said that Mexicans are taking the jobs that those in the U.S. don’t want. They work as cheap labor – even though statistics say that this isn’t really true. I haven’t heard anyone say that now it’s harder for someone who speaks English only to get a job because most jobs now require Spanish also. I imagine that about 75% of the jobs that were once available – aren’t now unless you’re bilingual. I guess it isn’t being said because English isn’t considered the first language. Yesterday was Memorial Day. How many illegal aliens took time during the day to honor our dead? To honor all of the men and women who have given their lives for our freedom? Would they raise an American flag?

Even if one little thing were changed – let it be that anyone who wants to live in our big beautiful country – must learn English. But, we’ve given them no incentive – everything is in Spanish.

Last week in the market, the man in front of me in line was going on and on about amnesty. I noticed one of the ladies from the pharmacy walk by and gave him a “look”. She had taken his remarks personally. This isn’t about everyone. It’s about those who sneak across the borders – whether from Canada or Mexico. I live in SoCal, so there are more illegal Mexicans here. It’s about those who have no desire to work to make this a better country. It’s about those who don’t want to grow with the two cultures but who want to keep theirs – and no others. It’s about those who wave the flag of Mexico while living off the taxpayers of the United States.

I don’t want any American soldier to come home and be in a bank where no one else speaks English. Or where another country’s flag is waved in his/her face. Where Cinco de Mayo is celebrated and Memorial Day, 4th of July and Veterans’ Day are ignored.
