Time To Get Serious About Stopping Immigration

No word on whether Fox News' Bill O'Reilly suffered a stroke upon hearing this, but here's an alarming statistic: The number of immigrants in the United States has hit a record 37.5 million (out of a population of 300 million). Additionally, nearly one in every five households speaks a language OTHER than English at home!!! Of the 50 known states, West Virginia had the lowest percentage of immigrants, at only 1.2%. This is not all that surprising, since most foreign cultures frown upon marrying your own relatives.

Immigration is clearly out of control. After all, America was built by Americans, not by people coming to America on rickety wooden sailing ships, seeking freedom and a chance to build a new life for their families.

So why do all these immigrants keep coming here? Well, apparently it's got something to do with these unpatriotic, America-hating words:
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

Now before you jump all over me for encouraging even more damn foreigners to come here in pursuit of better lives for themselves and their families, let me point out that I am NOT the one who wrote that horribly subversive poem.

Rather, those words are the inscription on the base of the Statue of Liberty. And if that's not bad enough, this stupid statue was a gift from France. Yes, France!!! A known foreign country!!! How those French snuck that thing into New York Harbor remains a mystery, but it is clearly only encouraging non-native Americans from coming here, stealing our jobs as cab drivers, convenience store clerks, and leaf blower operators.

Republicans talk a mean talk when it comes to immigration reform, but it's really just empty drivel. If they are truly serious about making the American way of life safe from alien cultures, they need to follow through with some tough actions, and I don't mean that asinine 1500 mile wall along our southern border. That idea will fail the moment some damn Mexican looking to make enough money to feed his starving family figures out how to operate a step ladder.

The time for further debate is past. It's time to act. That's why I will throw my support to the first Republican presidential candidate who advocates tearing down the Statue of Liberty (someone apparently has already thought of that, but he's not running for President).

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go listen to Rush Limbaugh.
