Mexican Hat Dance

We're about to see and hear the early 21st Century version of a mesikan hat dance once this gets the media attention it so deserves.

"MEXICO CITY - President Vicente Fox came under criticism Saturday after saying Mexicans were willing to take jobs "that not even blacks want to do in the United States."

Fox's remark Friday came a day after Mexico announced it would formally protest recent U.S. immigration reforms, including the decision to extend walls along the border and make it harder for illegal migrants to get driver's licenses.

"There's no doubt that the Mexican men and women — full of dignity, willpower and a capacity for work — are doing the work that not even blacks want to do in the United States," Fox told a meeting of the Texas-Mexico Frozen Food Council in the western city of Puerto Vallarta on Friday."

what an asshole. Maybe if he cleaned up his own damn country people wouldn't be so eager to risk their lives crossing the desert.

However he does have a point. Americans are cheap bastards and no one is willing to do that work...for the wages they pay. The whole point of Bush's guest worker program is to drive down pay rates. "If you don't like the pay or the way a business is run fine, youre fired and theres ten people standing behind you waiting to do such."

"I have wanted to give Iraq a lesson in democracy—because we’re experienced with it, you know. And, in democracy, after a hundred years, you have to let your slaves go. And, after a hundred and fifty years, you have to let your women vote. And, at the beginning of democracy, is that quite a bit of genocide and ethnic cleansing is quite okay. And that’s what’s going on now." - Kurt Vonnegut 1922-2007
