Reclaiming America from Illegal Immigrants
Found this dandy cartoon posted by Curtis over at Can’t See the Forest. Thanks, Curtis! I like it!
BTW, now how many illegal immigrants – and their descendants – live in the USA? See, there’s always somebody who was there before you. And the guys with the biggest guns write the rules that declare some “legal” (Oh luck! It’s us!) and others not.
They’re not right, Lord knows; they’re just the ones with dry powder and few scruples.
Suppose we post-Europeans will ever shake loose from thinking we own the world and call the shots?
Doesn’t it seem just a little barbaric? Medieval? Check out the related posts, just below.

I’ve always dreamed that if Christ came back and happened to come back to the present Imperial U.S.A. He would come as the child of an illegal hispanic migrant worker family.
I know it’s a stretch but a beautiful dream.

Jeremy – I’ve had a similar thought – that if the gospels had taken place in the USA, Jesus might well have been such a child.
I’m sure Mary was chosen, at least in part, because Jesus chose to identify with those who were least respected.
You get it! Thanks!

interesting thought, given that if one would get technical as declaring land to a set of people, from a scientific and historical perspective if homosapien evolution came from Africa, then everyone outside of Africa is not in their natural location
Monte Says: True enough. And maybe we could humble down a bit about what’s really “our own.” Anti-immigration sentiment, to me, seems like thinly-veiled selfishness. As my baby grandson says (most un-admirably), “Mine!”
Interested in whole picture
