A Nod To The Gods

Mexican immigration to the United States is on the brink of a historic reversal:
More Mexicans may be going back to Mexico than coming in, according to a Pew Hispanic Center report Monday. The influx of Mexicans, which has dominated U.S. immigration patterns for four decades, began to tumble in 2006 and 2007 as the housing bust and recession created a dearth of jobs. At the same time, the number of Mexicans returning to their native country along with their U.S.-born children soared.

From 2005 to 2010, 1.4 million Mexicans came to the USA— down by more than half from the 3 million who came from 1995 to 2000. From 2005 to 2010 , the number of Mexicans who moved from the USA to Mexico rose to 1.4 million, roughly double the number who had done so 10 years before.

Passel says the data suggest that the return flow to Mexico probably surpassed the incoming flow in the last two years.

Not many people get a picture of this proud bird snuggled up next to them! Freedom and I have been together 11 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn’t open all the way even after surgery,it was broken in 4 places. She’s my baby. When Freedom came in she could not standand both wings were broken. She was emaciated and covered in lice. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vet’s office. From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to lay in. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes. We also had to tube feed her for weeks. This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn’t stand. It got to the point where the decision was made to euthanize her if she couldn’t stand in a week. You know you don’t want to cross that line between torture and rehab, and it looked like death was winning. She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon. I didn’t want to go to the center that Thursday, because I couldn’t bear the thought of her being euthanized; but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear. I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I was just about in tears by then. That was a very good day. We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her. I got her used to the glove, and then to jesses, and we started doing education programs for schools in western Washington . We wound up in the newspapers, radio (believe it or not) and some TV. Miracle Pets even did a show about us. In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I had stage 3, which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of chemo. Lost the hair – the whole bit. I missed a lot of work. When I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight the cancer. This happened time and time again. Fast forward to November 2000 the day after Thanksgiving, I went in for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for the results. I went in Monday, and I was told that all the cancer was gone.                               So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her up, and we went out front to the top of the hill. I hadn’t said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my back (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don’t know how long . That was a magic moment. We have been soul mates ever since she came in. This is a very special bird. On a side note: I have had people who were sick come up to us when we are out, and Freedom has some kind of hold on them. I once had a guy who was terminal come up to us and I let him hold her. His knees just about buckled and he swore he could feel her power course through his body. I have so many stories like that.. I never forget the honor I have of being so close to such a magnificent spirit as Freedom. Hope you enjoyed this!

You just can’t make this shit up.  Ok I did, but it would not surprise me.

The Mexican drug cartels are out of control, the US Border Patrol is a token force that can’t possibly police the border, (an expensive attempt to pacify the public), and Latino’s are ready to vote for Obama because they want some sort of amnesty.

Romney has come out swinging on the immigration problem and the 70% approval for Obama over Romney bears out the fact that this voting block will go democratic.
So be it!
Politicians bow to the pressure of minority groups knowing the votes are all important for any election cycle. Romney needs to stand up to Hispanics and take his chances with which way they decide to vote. Right now the unemployment rate of mexican minorities is running 5% higher than average unemployment numbers, (whatever that is), and their plight has certainly not gotten better under Obama. So if there is no work, why stay here? Well for the most part they will turn to crime. Got to make their money somehow.

Now can you see the bigger picture? If Romney panders to the Latino voters, they will be empowered to gain even more control. They will feel as though the election process in the United States can be controlled at their whim. Obama has launched his “Latino’s for Obama” campaign and is doing exactly what this bloc of voters want’s, kiss our ass and work on liberal legislation that pushes us closer to amnesty and you have our vote. ROMNEY MUST NOT HELP THEIR CAUSE!

If Romney sticks to his guns and begins campaigning for immigration reform that calls for deportation and tough fines for employers that hire them, he dampens the hopes of future illegals, and some will actually self deport, believe it or not. The employers that hire them is the problem.
No Worky, No Money, No Stay…ey.

The criminal element from Mexico is one of the most brutal and viscious groups of people on the planet, right behind the religion of peace. If Romney stands firm and any mexicans, who are here  illegaly and have been arrested, are immediately deported, no questions asked. No holding for identification other than finger printing and standing in line for a bus or plane flight to Mexico. And the expense for this deportation effort should be paid for by the South American governments that can’t make their own countries desirable enough for it’s populace to stay.

If you think that this is a problem that does not effect you personally or is really something that won’t effect us until sometime in the future you are dead wrong.
