Immigration and economics 101

(Repost from Alisa Valdes Rodriguez)

(Hey, at least back then there were jobs to be had...)

Are you like me, neighbor? Are there some days where you wake up, read the news, and can't stop laughing at the absurdity of it all? Do you laugh because if you didn't, you'd cry?

Say WHAT!!!

No, I don't believe McCain(aka McSame) & I'm convinced that he is essentially stuck within his own rhetoric, as Palin. I Don't Trust Either of Them.

However, I thought you might enjoy this bit of Political Satire (albeit sarcasm included) that I'd also posted in a current blog. Enjoy!

I'd gotten this in an email & thought I'd pass this on for your reading & amusement....
