The Melting Pot is Boiling Over

I read today that the President has asked for $46 billion more for war, and Congress "isn't going to rubber stamp" the request. Then you know the rest. Bush says Congress should care about our troops in harm's way and Congress says Bush needs to end the war and tend to the home front. So, while Congress blusters their usual impotent threats, and Bush continues to be his usual pushy self, I'm going to address immigration. We know Congress will bluster for awhile, then Bush will get his funding with some crazy earmark added on and nothing will be solved, but we will pay more taxes to cover this MESS. So, let's talk immigration.
I received yet more "immigration SPAM" from someone who doesn't work, and that just infuriates me. So, I've decided to address this subject from an historical perspective. When the colonists arrived, who fed them? Hint: It's been discussed for years and years through the holiday in November. And how did those immigrants treat their host citizens? No wonder the European descendants are a bit worried about how the immigrants will ultimately treat them. But let's move on in our history lesson. Once America had been colonized, those involved in the Revolution spoke of wiping out the Indian lands and crops right along with fighting the British. I learned in school that George Washington referred to Native Americans as savages. That was before the days of political correctness, of course. Then, once the settlers had control of the land, they had slaves to work the land. Once the slaves were freed, migrant workers became the backbone of the agricultural work force which brings us to the modern day dilemma. Much of the migrant farm work through history has been done by Mexicans who were not legal immigrants. And it would appear by our society, that many of the immigrants are no longer interested in doing migrant farm work. So, our government, in it's inane grandiosity has created a dilemma that will only serve to cast a greater burden on it's already overtaxed and dissatisfied citizens. First, we must all face the fact that the illegal immigrants aren't leaving. Since they aren't leaving, they will need some way to live, but employers are facing huge fines and imprisonment for hiring them, so that is only going to create more hardships on the American citizen. The next thing we must realize is the fact that without being deported and without being able to be employed, they will need to be subsidized and supported, again more hardships on the taxpaying work force, which brings me to the next point. Americans don't want the jobs the illegal immigrants and migrant workers have been doing. I could give a list of Americans that just plain don't want to work at all. So, with a nation full of professional speakers, as in politicians, lawyers, and pundits, college degreed computer operators, corporate executives, and disabled SPAMMERS, who is going to pick the lettuce and wash the dishes?
