Reallocation of Population

Reallocation of Population


The good ole US of A has become very popular of late with tourists from the slums of Mexico and the wrong sides of towns in South and Latin America.

We must be doing something right.

They are pouring in. Some run across a border that it appears the President has decided not to defend. Others are arriving in box cars attached to trains.
Border guards are angry and confused.

We are talking thousands of illegals here, friends. Some of them, in fact recently most of them, are young children.

If the news reports are to be believed, our government--out of the kindness of our tax paying hearts--is providing these folks a box lunch, a change of clothes, and I suppose some other sort of “welcome to America.” Then the newbies are left on their own. News reports have them sleeping at bus terminals, camping out, sharing a combination of being grateful to be here and wondering what is next.

I have lived long enough to know that each of us American taxpayers has a growing family to care for and feed. Whatever you now spend on your natural family, your taxes have to be used to care for thousands more than last year. And, of course, if this continues, thousands more for the remainder of the administration’s time in office.

You may be living in a state far from the border, and you may feel insulated from this. Well, get yourself a strong cup of coffee and get ready. Sure, the first waves went to Texas and Arizona and all the usual vacation spots for illegals. But the feds are preparing to distribute them more evenly amongst us. I read the other day that some were expected to win a free trip to Massachusetts.  Maine, NH, and Vermont cannot be far behind.

Given the circumstances these folks find themselves in, they will work for next to nothing, and this will remove thousands of jobs as possibilities for currently down-on-their-luck, real U.S. citizens.  Our current unemployed survive on food stamps and unemployment payments and the good will of their fellow citizens. Whatever the size of the Federal honey pot is these days, it is now going to have to cover the needs of so many more ,and that, my friends, means less for the legal citizens currently without work in our country. The only other alternative is to raise taxes and have the rest of us cover the vacationing downtrodden. Now there is a viable idea during the huge downturn we have experienced in this country lately!

It boggles the mind that we are tolerating this. I do not understand it. For some reason, America seems tired, complacent, and ready to accept almost any government policy regardless of the wisdom or lack thereof behind it.

I was dreaming the other day in my hammock. America started with immigrants, our ancestors. They worked hard and built a pretty fine place. Maybe too fine. Everyone else wants to come here now. The current government policies, or executive actions, are turning our land into something very unfamiliar.

Maybe the answer is that we should all just take a vacation ourselves. I don’t know about you but I think Switzerland would be nice. Lets just all arrive on the shores of Europe and see if they can match the generosity we have shown our more recent visitors.

This would then leave this country to those who have newly arrived. If they wanted to survive, they would have to do what our ancestors did: work, contribute, build, and pay taxes,

I call this the Blair Project for the Reallocation of Population.

Some might call it The Blair Witch Project
