Wednesday, May 17, 2006 | Si, se puede “Yes we can” is a statement of illegal immigrant defiance, false entitlement, and disrespect. Aliens want free services and benefits from Americans? No, you can’t -you didn’t earn or pay for them.
Migrants want to break the law and cross the border? No, you can’t – the Minutemen are restoring and repairing the fences. Illegal immigrants want to get a CA driver’s license? No, you can’t – you are not a citizen and deserve no rights unless we grant them to you.
You want a better Mexico? No, you can’t – because you run up here to take advantage of us and run away from solving your home problems.
You demand to get our respect and consideration? No, you can’t – not after waving foreign flags and singing a bastardized version of our National Anthem on our land.
You want to assimilate and become Americans? No, you can’t – you keep your own language, refuse to learn English, refuse to become legal citizens, refuse the education that is available (40 percent drop-out rate), and think Aztlan is going to rise and retake the border area. Aztlan is a racist myth: You sold your land legally and kept the money.
You want to take services, benefits, and the rainbow of civilization’s best opportunities? No, you can’t – you have a government in Mexico which is responsible for your welfare and care. Get used to it: you need to go back home and finish your revolution, get your own civil rights, educate your own children in your own language, and depend upon your Napoleonic government and Catholic churches to sustain you – not the American taxpayers.
You don’t think we can compel 11 million lawbreakers to leave our country, make them pay fines to become citizens, create a tamper-proof ID card, or a secure our border? Yes, we can. Because Americans have the training, education, and experience to walk on the Moon – while Mexican illegals are shuffling across the desert in blanket booties to steal our lifestyle.
Can you illegal migrants return to Mexico, regain your honor, reduce your birth rate, educate your children, create jobs for your adults, build healthcare and hospitals for your elderly, jail the criminals who repeatedly murder your police chiefs, and climb from confusion into civilization? Yes, you can, and you should.
