A letter to President Bush Options

[JRockTTU]

Dear President Bush:

I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family,
and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across
the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few
arrangements.
I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports,
immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the
same way we do here.
So, would you mind telling President Vicente Fox, that
I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting
the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might
need, whether I use them or not.

3. All government forms need to be printed in English.

4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.

5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the
flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.

7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and
lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy
access to government services.

9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any
effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the
memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all
police officers speak English.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals
on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not
want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes,
and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.

13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice
and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might
place on the economy.

I know this is an easy request because we already do all these
things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am
sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him
nicely.

i was listening to the Sean Hannity radio show yesterday driving to austin. i rarely bother with Hannity, but he made some great points. he kept interviewing people live from the protests, and every interview went something like this:

Hannity: welcome to the show, are you for or against illegal immigration into the US?
Caller: i'm all for it
Hannity: why?
Caller: because they deserve the same chance as us, they have every right to be here, blah blah blah
Hannity: wait, they have a right to be here? coming into the US illegally is against the law. are you implying that they should break the law?
Caller: uhhhhhh....they have a right to be here
Hannity: actually, they don't, because it's AGAINST THE LAW
Caller: ummm, uhhhh......

no one could come up with a valid response to his question. he also pointed out that anyone who skips school in DC for the upcoming rally gets community service credit. WTF? they're getting rewarded for breaking the law?


what i don't understand is this: protests are legal, but protesting and promoting illegal activities is against the law. the KKK is free to protest in this country, unless they start calling for laws to be broken - church burnings, assassinations, whatever other shit they want. the anti abortion protesters are free to hold signs up and picket abortion agencies, but if they start calling for the killing of doctors they're tossed in prison

how is this any different? these protestors are, in effect, protesting an illegal activity and promoting lawlessness. why can't they be arrested?
