No Illegals = No Burritos

equals no cholesteral, no trans fat, no processed white flour. America can use the change!

I've long thought that Americans who resent mass immigration should stop patronizing the businesses who hire immigrants en masse, and the fast food restaurants are among the worst culprits. In the past 2 years I've cut back 90% on my use of fast food places and I'm feeling just great.

"Tempus fugit"

the US has this big sign in the harbour at New York that says it takes in the world's unwanted. Take down the sign and stop shouting that you're the greatest place to be. You don't see Mexico advertising or proclaiming to be the land of the free, the greatest country that there ever was. Your advertising is a little overstated but, tremendously effective. Apparently more effective than you had hoped. If the (primarily, not exclusively) US based-multinationals would stop treating the rest of the world like offshore slaves, maybe they'd stay home. It's hard to keep them on the plantation once they've seem American-idol.

I must first say that I have no bone with immigrants...I am about to become one...The operative word in illegal immigrant is "ILLEGAL" If you think these trespassers are mad about U.S. immigration policy now, imagine how upset they would be if we adopted the way Mexico treats illegal aliens.

Under a constitution first adopted in 1917 and subsequently amended, Mexico deals harshly not only with illegal immigrants. It treats even legal immigrants, naturalized citizens and foreign investors in ways that would, by the standards of those who carp about U.S. immigration policy, have to be called "racist" and "xenophobic."

For example, according to an official translation published by the Organization of American States, the Mexican constitution includes the following restrictions:

* Pursuant to Article 33, "Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country." This ban applies, among other things, to participation in demonstrations and the expression of opinions in public about domestic politics like those much in evidence in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere in recent days.

* Equal employment rights are denied to immigrants, even legal ones. Article 32: "Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable."

* Jobs for which Mexican citizenship is considered "indispensable" include, pursuant to Article 32, bans on foreigners, immigrants, and even naturalized citizens of Mexico serving as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, and chiefs of seaports and airports.

* Article 55 denies immigrants the right to become federal lawmakers. A Mexican congressman or senator must be "a Mexican citizen by birth." Article 91 further stipulates that immigrants may never aspire to become cabinet officers as they are required to be Mexican by birth. Article 95 says the same about Supreme Court justices.

In accordance with Article 130, immigrants - even legal ones - may not become members of the clergy, either.

* Foreigners, to say nothing of illegal immigrants, are denied fundamental property rights. For example, Article 27 states, "Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters."

* Article 11 guarantees federal protection against "undesirable aliens resident in the country." What is more, private individuals are authorized to make citizen's arrests. Article 16 states, "In cases of flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities." In other words, Mexico grants its citizens the right to arrest illegal aliens and hand them over to police for prosecution. Imagine the Minutemen exercising such a right!

* The Mexican constitution states that foreigners - not just illegal immigrants - may be expelled for any reason and without due process. According to Article 33, "the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action."

Sombrero boy in the pic has a point, no legal US citizen would work at Taco Bell for $4 an hour. No illegals in the work place might force corporate America to pay all workers a living wage. And if that pushs a value menu burrito up to $1.39 instead of 99 cents... I'll happily pay the difference..

I just make my own burritos.........With a little Italian twist. Anybody want some?

The secret to making burritos only lies within the minds of those here illegally? When you come here legally, they take away your ability to cook?

Well, it was posted under Humor. I can see the humor, however ironic.
