Happy ‘Day Without Immigrants’ Day!
A day without immigrants. Not sure where to begin with this one.
Not sure how to be sensitive to others feelings.
Not sure that’s ever stopped me before.
Well, they took it to the streets, didn’t they? Hoping to cripple the economy. Hoping to prove just how necessary they are to America. Not sure about you, but I made it through my day with minimal problems. Got in and out of Starbucks lickity-split this morning.
No illegals there to fu*k up my order.
However, as I walked into the office of one of my clients, balancing my Chai atop my binder, the door closed behind me and my Starbucks tipped over and crashed to the carpet. Taking my Monday morning heart with it.
No illegals there to clean up my mess.
So I sat at my dedicated workspace. And worked. The internet worked. So far, so good.
Next I made some travel arrangements. Got right through to my travel agent.
No illegals there tying up the phone lines. Certainly no illegals purchasing a plane ticket.
After work, I had to run to Home Depot. Grabbed a few sprinkler heads. Some fertilizer. And went to the check-out counter.
Which is customary for the white man.
No troubles there.
Finally, as a show of support, I stopped by Taco Bell to pick up some dinner. Being as the drive-thru line was 10 buggies deep, I went inside. In. And. Out.
So did ‘Day Without Immigrants’ work? Did we feel the impact? They certainly fu*ked up traffic through Denver. But at least there weren’t 30 of them scattered across the highway, lying next to an overturned van. That’s always messy.
So what about the solution? How do we here at Nine-Seven feel about the issue?
First, we think building a wall along the border is a bit silly. Let’s be realistic. A project like that would never get done without the help of Mexicanos in the first place. Americans just ain’t capable of doing that kind of labor. Hell, it took millions of Chinese like 2000 years to build their wall.
Second, we think they should not be considered felons (even though it was we who took their land.) Our legal system can’t handle the process of our own home-grown felons. (Speaking of home-grown, boy was that shit hard to find today.) But to help their cause, it wouldn’t hurt to show a little support for their host country. Like learn English. Learn to read. Practice safe sex. Get insurance. Learn your local traffic laws. Pay taxes. Usual stuff.
Third, we think that out of appreciation, we should make this Thursday a Gringo Day. Let’s call it, ‘Day Without Documented Workers.’ And let’s see just what kind of impact that has on all the Mexicans. We’re pretty sure that an overwhelming majority will be unable to even get into the building.
We’d do it Friday, but it’s Cinco de Mayo. Just how many fu*king three-day weekends do these people get? Rest assured we can’t afford to close down the hospitals.
Finally, though a bit brash, we think this is a good place to start.
Let the letters roll in.
