Babysitters Support the Troops

Categorized under Migra | Tags: , , ,

BUT WHEN MEXICANS TRY, they get busted. Another ICE raid on yet another factory being operated, in part, by Mexicans. Good, because our economy is so damn robust, we really need to slow it down.

About 100 children were left stranded at schools and day care centres after their parents were rounded up by federal authorities in a raid on a factory where hundreds of illegal immigrants worked to produce supplies for the US military.

But at least American troops will have less equipment now, right? That should end the war quicker. So...busting this factory and arresting these workers actually is supporting the troops! Oh, it all gets so confusing. When in doubt, just whip that yellow magnet out!

About two-thirds of the 500 employees working at leather maker Michael Bianco Inc in New Bedford, Massachusetts, were detained on Tuesday by immigration officials for possible deportation as illegal immigrants. Most of the employees were women and, as a result, many of their children were not picked up from school or day care that day.

Corinn Williams, director of the Community Economic Development Centre of Southeastern Massachusetts, estimated about 100 children were left with babysitters or caretakers.

'We're continuing to get stories today about infants that were left behind,' she said yesterday. 'It's been a widespread humanitarian crisis here in New Bedford.'

Again...not focusing on the important parts. For one thing, leather can't wither on the vine! So good choice, ICE! And even more important is that Mexican babies are hungry and scared and lonely. Which means more American babies can prosper. And once we lock the Mexican families up and start charging, more American criminal justice systems can profit.

Sheesh. You know? Mexicanos giving places like Hutto reasons for standing and raking in cash, Mexicanos going off to fight Murka's illegal wars, Mexicanos making gear for the troops, Mexicanos making food for your own table. Americans have a lot of fucking nerve persecuting mi gente. You think we'd get a holiday or something with the amount of contributions Mexicans give and make for America. Instead of a long, multi-headed, sublimated war.

Well, we all know that Mexicans are lazy people who get free lemonade and day care and health care and money left and right; we can't leave them in those factories, engaging in all those high-powered siestas...

Sheesh, sounds like you guys are all so ungrateful. Who do you think you are, Iraqis?

Amazingly the management was nailed for running a sweatshop. But either way, what kind of frapping work is that - round everybody up, see if they are "illegal people". Meanwhile, the world must stay bent over for the Richie Rich's to ravage.


PS, have a great International Women's Day!

So no snazzy digital IR suppressing camo for the Marines? Oh man...that sucks, or would for all those gurls (and guys, according to JC General!) that like men in uniform. Well I am sure that insurgent sniper bullets won't care either way if American military uniforms come from a early 1980's Pac-Man induce fashion rage or something that looks like a bad day at the painters.

The kids left stranded without their parents....thats another story....

"Doing jobs Americans won't do" is what makes this war so unreal (or surreal).

There is no draft, no sense of national service (or even of war-time work) for the citizenry... instead, it's being outsourced to sweatshops, and (this somehow ties in) the second-largest "army" in Iraq are "contractors" (i.e. mercenaries), mostly recruited in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. Somehow, when the U.S. media talks to these guys, they get British guys, but really... this is Latin Americans fighting Iraqis for .... what? A handful of multinational oil companies? World domination?

kick it, ése.
