Just Another Day

Regarding the "alien" marches in 90 US Cities this week: those of you who attended school during the late 1940's, the 50's and even the early to mid 60's should remember certain classmates whose parents came from "the old country." Folks who could barely comprehend English who came to America seeking a better life. And way before that, people who came fleeing "the Kaiser," and others before them fleeing oppression and tyranny in their homelands, places to which they would never return. Many arrived in the US with the clothes they wore and perhaps a small suitcase. Some had been professionals back "home" but became painters and plumbers and builders and mechanics upon arriving in the new world. Others labored in factories and toiled on farms. Sound familiar? The illegal immigrants and others who've been demonstrating and marching across the Nation--- they just want to be us. These folks don't have the luxury of being able to get out of their countries, travel here, and be processed at a place like Ellis Island and then be absorbed into America. They are desperate to be one of us. In this modern, digital, "gotta have it right now" world, they just can't wait to be part of us. God Bless the USA. And hurry up about it. Get it? Nah, some don't. Michelle Malkin was in DC yesterday with handicam in tow... Some have an idea... And about that 700-mile wall that some are trying to get built to across the US-Mexican border: Blogger Hei Lun suggests we should build it using illegal immigrant labor!

Locally, wishy-washy "Doctor" Eva Joseph has done a complete "about face" and asked the Albany School Board to keep Phillip Livingston open for another year. Eva's "jumped the shark." You couldn't make this stuff up!
