The Unauthorized President and His Undocumented Legacy
Categorized under Migra , Política Estados Unidos | Tags: ALIENZ, hypocrisy, Language
ONCE AGAIN, Dubya represents lies, empty rhetoric, and ultimately and overwhelmingly: "hypocrisy."
If President Bush is serious about getting tough on U.S. employers who hire illegal aliens, he can start with his own administration, which employs thousands of unauthorized workers, says the top Republican on the House immigration subcommittee.
A 2006 audit showed federal, state and local governments are among the biggest employers of the half-million persons in the U.S. illegally using "non-work" Social Security numbers -- numbers issued legally, but with specific instructions that the holders are not authorized to work in the U.S."--Bush hit over jobs for illegal workers, washingtontimes.com
"Unauthorized Workers." Suddenly when Republicans, themselves, are the ones affiliated with the ILLEGUL, Mexican@ immigrants become Unauthorized Workers. Mmmm. That's rich.

What a sack of hypocritical shit. How do they have the nerve to say anything about undocumented workers when they're handing out Social Security numbers to them! God knows when it comes time for these folks to get their benefits (because if you got a number, you're probably paying into the system) it'll be 'oh, too bad, you have one of THOSE numbers, you're outta luck.'
Grr.

Maybe I have said it too many times already, if so, sorry. The whole "country" concept and imposed social "security" apparatus are constructs that hold humans in thrall to a set of economic assumptions that just do not do them, the workers, all that much good no matter what border they choose to live behind or cross over, no matter what percentage of melanin they have, no matter what language they speak or continent they live on {think of the filipinos in the middle east} and no matter how much protesting goes on.
It's time to internationalize all work for all humans and the way that will happen is by the influence of the internet as a source for work organizing and education on this topic. Governments won't be doing it, that's for sure.
The WWW has made the world safe for anarchy and genuine freedom of movement.
I know the individuals who are out there seeping in fear about terrorism will debate this point, but we are not saying: let everybody do whatever they want, wherever they want, what we are saying is that there has to be a mechanism in place that is as unrestrictive as possible that allows the greatest number of persons to migrate anywhere, anytime.
Only limited numbers of persons choose to migrate at any given time due to the desire by many to live within a familiar culture or a comfortable economy or to be close to family or within a loved geography. But others wish to be free to travel the world in search of adventure or betterment and I cannot see why that is not made easier.
The same arguments {sometimes not that valid!} that have been made for free trade should apply to free migration; citizens of all nations should fight for this right the same as they fight for freedom from tyranny.
I think we have the world we deserve, in the aggregate. We humans are just not standing up for our own interests enough. In the US, 1 one-hundredth of one percent of the population have most of the money, but the numbers that count- the number of bodies, are with the middle and lower classes by far.
What is it that everyone is waiting for? A signal? OK, I am blowing my whistle!
By the way, Nez, killer graphic. Have you been taking the funny pills lately?
