Houston Shock GM Randy Daily has started a weekly blog and has decided to repost each installment of The DAILY Chronicles here. Sit back and enjoy.
I got together with three crazy S.O.B.s this weekend who all happen to be BBBL Owners/GMs to talk a little baseball...The Warden Jack Riley (you don’t even want to hear what this bastard has seen in the prisons), Colonel Sanders ( a Chicken G-O-D) and E.L. Buckethead (a former mob leader who still is said to have ties with the Eastside Elves). However, very little baseball was talked about...instead our conversations touched on everything from NLP, MMF, the church, politics and the Colonels famous recipe. The bastard told us 10 of the secret herbs and spices but the c#*t is holding out on the 11th.
Anyways, a great deal of time was spent discussing the issue immigration and what the government is wanting to do to stop the illegal immigration from Mexico. I just want to say that this is some serious bullsh*t. What in the hell is everyone thinking. Why is this even am issue. I know that most of you are probably thinking that Randy is all for shutting off the border but you couldn't be more wrong. Unless you're an Indian...and I mean 100% Native American, this is nothing but a racist issue.
How is this a racist issue you ask? Hmmm...I don't know...you tell me.
Question: Why are we wanting to shut down the Mexican border? To keep Mexicans out.
Question: Why do we want to keep Mexicans out? Because they keep taking jobs...BULLSH*T...if you wanted the jobs they were taking you could get them.
Question: Why does the governments want this to stop? Because they are losing tax dollars.
Question: Why not shut down the Canadian border and all stop other countries from immigrating to the U.S? Hmmm...makes you think R-A-C-E again, huh?
This whole situation pisses me off. I honestly think that the powers that be really believe with all of their hearts that this will solve many problems, but they need to take a moment to stop and realize that we are all illegal immigrants. Like I said earlier, unless you are 100% Native American, you came here from somewhere else...England, Ireland, Africa, Mexico, Cuba, Russia, Japan and so on and so forth. How can American shut it doors on the opportunity to pursue the American dream. We as a people are going against the hey principal that this great country was founded on.
Now, I understand many of the argument on why this should happen and honestly agree with several of them, but I believe there are better solutions. The whole issue of illegal immigrants making money and not having to report their earning to the IRS for tax purposes is a legitimate concern. So how do you stop it? Like E.L. said Saturday ...you do away with income and state taxes and make a nationwide sales tax. What a brilliant f*#king idea. Now everyone will have to pay taxes when they buy anything. Now the under the table money will be taxed just the same as the reported income. sure some kinks will have to be worked out, but it makes a whole hell of a lot more since than kicking a whole ethnicity out of the country.
Another argument, also brought up by E.L., is that paying such low wages to immigrant workers is simply a new form of slavery. NO IT'S NOT. The whole reason people are coming to America is because the life and pay is SO MUCH MORE than where they are leaving. Sure it might not be as much as you and I make...but if I have a chance to move somewhere and make less that the average but more than what I'm currently making...I'm packing my bags.
Well I'm guessing at this point I've wither got you fired up about this ridiculous idea or so pissed off at me that you want to deport me, but either way, I've got you thinking!!
Deal with it,
Randy Daily
