Hablas espanol????

So I am going to touch on this ticking time bomb... immigration. Now I am completely for immigration as I believe immigrants do 30% or more of the jobs in the US that really make this country run and for some reason US citizens don't want to do. What I am against however is the immigrants who cannot speak any english. I think as a rule of thumb you must be able to speak english and you must obtain citizenship within 3 years. We have everything in 2,3 and 4 languages now a days. Come on, just the savings in paper alone would be huge. I get that to pick strawberries, frame a house, clean our corporate buildings you don't necessarily need to read or speak english to be successful individually but what i am talking about is the good of the country. I know there are millions of workers in the US that don't speak english. What I say is if you really want to be in America, learn the language. If we stop you on the street or at a job and you can't speak english, pack your bags you are going home. The ones who really want the American dream will work for it and learn it. Also, I say do this to citizens born in the USA. You want government welfare and support, LEARN TO READ. Until then, good luck. Don't you think there are millions of ideas in those non-english speaking heads that would be beneficial to the USA? If nothing else a community benefits from all of it's people/resources being on the same page, hell, we aren't even in the same library as a country. Diversity is oneof our greatest strengths as a country if we make it one. All it has done to this point in recent history is divided us. If we continue to allow whoever to come in whenever and accomodate them as much as possible this will always be the case. Look at the military. One of the most diverse "organizations" the US has. How does it work? They have basic rules that everyone understands. Language being one of them, chain of command is another. Enforcing a national language is not descrimination but more of unification. We then can all begin to understand eachother and where we come from rather than just seperate and isolate ourselves from different cultures. God bless and hasta luego, ciao, das vadania, guten morgen, aloha ..... you get the picture.

Studio condo with free cable, workout facilities and sports...

What am I talking about??? JAIL. What baffles me today is when did jail turn into a place people wanted to be? I read some crazy statistics that said something like 80% of criminals jailed for more than a year ended up getting sent back to prison because of 2nd, 3rd and 4th offenses. That is crazy. Think of it, when time gets hard commit a small crime and instantly you have a roof over your head, cable tv, hot meals, a sporting and workout program. What more could you want. Hell, next we will be building jails on beaches so the inmates can get some quality outside time. It costs my state over $100,000/year to jail someone. THAT IS REDICULOUS. If people feared jail maybe we wouldn't have so much crime and second offenses. I say build the jails in Southern Texas and Alaska. No air conditioning, no heat. give them blankets up north and shade down south. No beds either. Why should I pay for them to be comfortable. Let's get back to the black and white striped uniforms. No recess for the inmates either and you guessed it... Slop for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Finally, guards have a shoot to kill order. You fight, we don't send guards down there to get kidnapped and killed we just shoot you from a tower. Then the inmates get to clean you up off the ground. You would be amazed at how quickly the overcrowding issue resolves itself if we had a backbone in this country and held people accountable. People commit crimes because there are no serious consequences anymore. I am picking on the jail system right now because it is the biggest target but there are many others. What about drunk driving??? I say if you get caught drunk driving we send you out on the KS speedway, fill you up full of alcohol and put you in a car that can't go under 200mph. Stick a few obstacles in the way and watch you pay the price. hell, you could even probably sell that on Pay per view now a days. Imagine no one has to give you the injection you get to kill yourself essentially for trying to kill others. Speeding, why not make the first offense $1,000 and no getting a lawyer, you are toast. Do you think people would slow down. you better believe it. Bottom line, the US is in the crapper because your shortcomings are always because of someone else. It is time we make people accountable for their actions and the US may have a chance. God bless and safe riding.

Gun Control....

So when was the last time you saw someone walk up to a police station or gun shop and start shooting??? NEVER. Why, because the people that do shoot innocents or go on shooting rampages are cowards and pick on the weakest most vulnerable people they can think of. Often times it is people identical to them hence the work place is a common death trap. Now how many of them have killed themselves when confronted with Law Enforcement or someone threatening? Answer, MOST. So why do people constantly try to take my right to carry away? I am baffled by this because if you look at who commits most violent weapons crimes, it is usually someone who acquired a gun illegally. Will serializing bullets solve the issue? NO, why you say, well because any somewhat intelligent criminal is going to go to a shooting range, pick up some of your used casings while you are not looking and then go rob a bank and drop them all over the floor. Next thing you know the FBI is at your doorstep. Gun control just hurts law abiding citizens and prevents us from defending ourselves at our greatest time of need. Anyway, I am ranting now and being my first blog I will stop before I get to out there. Anyway, let me know your thoughts and I will get to another post in a day or 2.
