Illegal Update
Just a few more good people coming to do the work Americans refuse to do
A Mesa drop house raid yields 13 illegal aliens. The East Valley Tribune configures the article to illicit sympathy for the illegals, who they tell us “were possibly also being held there against their wills.”
“Some of the immigrants were bruised and slightly dehydrated when deputies arrived, but none appeared to have received the brutal treatment that sometimes occurs at drop houses,” the article goes on. And, the two bedroom house, had “just one bathroom.”
This quote comes from a neighbor: “I’ve seen the people. They don’t appear to be bad people.”
Well, then, that settles it.
To keep things in perspective, it’s worth remembering that the people in the house paid “coyotes” to illicitly transport them into the United States in violation of the laws of our sovereign nation. They were not picked up against their will and forced to accompany the transporters–they are co-conspirators in criminal activity–regardless of how the paper constructs the scenario.

It’s fine that illegals are abused by coyotes. These are simply cultural differences that we Phoenicians need to put our arms around and embrace. Diversity is wonderful. Previously we didn’t reside 13 to a 2 Bedroom 1 Bath. Now many more in our community experience this interesting alternative life style. These illegals were bruised and slightly dehydrated, you big sissies. They’re fine, just fine, don’t talk about them. Mac Macgruder and Bill Kopinickikinick or whatver are friends with some of my campaign contributers. So the illegal alien victims will be just fine and Sheriff Joe needs to forget about these periodic unseemly (by your standards) occurences of dead or beat-up or dehydrated or tied up and hooded or shot or stabbed illegal alien workforce members. Overall, illegal “immigration” is a good thing—you’re just gonna have to trust me on this one. Adios, Mayor Gorbon.

The Trib is obviously trying to out-sob-story the Republic. This could be the race of the century! Many of us appreciate your factual exposure of this foolishness.

The simple answer to these terrible circumstances is for the City of Phoenix to provide larger and better quipped drop houses. Two bedroom, one bath places are so darned cramped. I’m all for having my city sales taxes raised in order to provide more luxurious accommodations for those good people coming to do the jobs my brother-in-law can’t find.
BTW, said brother-in-law has been displaced in his construction job by cheaper, illegal laborers. He’s been an electrician for twenty years.

Ray, if your brother in law has industrial electrical experience, tell him to apply at a local mine- there’s one in Kearny. They pay well and REQUIRE not only the ability to speak English, but to read it and write it as well. They also use E-Verify.

Sideliner’s comment is interesting and sounds about right to me. I have not been a fan of the EVT. The idea that the EVT would try to out-Republic the Republic as a competitive strategy seems incredibly short-sighted on the EVT’s part.
