The busboy done it?
Roberto Rodriguez in Counterpunch
Who is responsible for U.S. policies that permit: the spending of close to $500 billion to wage an illegal and immoral war? Torture and the violation of the Geneva War Conventions? The elimination of Habeas Corpus? The illegal wiretapping of its own citizens? War profiteering by Haliburton and mercenary armies (Blackwater) to flourish? The dismantling of affirmative action and the nation’s civil rights laws? A Tax system that favors the super-rich?
Here are the choices:
a) illegal aliens
b) Arabs & Moslems
c) Blacks
d) Mexicans
e) Jews
f) Gays & Lesbians
g) liberals
h) abortion-seeking women
i) American Indians
Today, it seems that most Americans would choose option “a.”
This means that if the United States puts up a 2,000-mile wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and if the 12 million nannies, busboys, gardeners and maids were deported, the Iraqi war–which is expected to skyrocket in costs to another $1.5 trillion–would immediately come to a halt. If deported, the nation’s skyrocketing gasoline prices would begin to immediately reverse. In fact, the nation’s dropout crisis would also end overnight, enabling those who are remanded to the worst jobs in society to instead compete for the nation’s best jobs.
