So passive, that headline. As if these doubts had been away on holiday, enjoying some time with the family at Fisherman’s Wharf, only to come home and find that Marco Rubio, John McCain, and Chuck Schumer had broken into their house, thrown a Cinco De Mayo party, then left the doors unlocked — and now suddenly 20 million illegals are squatting in their living room, their shed, and the kids’ backyard tree fort, and the smell of pica de gallo is everywhere.
I’d have gone with something much less “journalisty”I think. Like, for instance, “Lots of People are Seriously Fucking Angry that a Bunch of Opportunistic Dicks in the Senate Are Trying to Pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform that isn’t Comprehensive, Doesn’t Reform Immigration in the Way Most People Want It To, and Normalizes Illegal Immigration.”
Which is probably too long for most journalisty venues. And is yet another reason why respectable news outlets and online opinion leaders don’t want me crashing their parties or joining their clubs.
And yet…It’s just so me, you know…? So I’m a just go for it.
Well?
I’m still seeing that passive little headline top of the post.
Yes, but it’s so deliciously meta.
Plus, I wanted Stacy to know I’d linked him.
President Lindberg: Steadert.
General Staedert: Yes Sir!
President Lindberg: I have a doubt.
General Staedert: I don’t, Mr. President.
Doubts Emerge on Senate
Short and sweet.
ANYTHING a swine like Chuckles Schumer has a major hand in is bound to be a Charlie Foxtrot of major proportions.
That advertising campaign is disgusting. It says things like “people need to come out of the shadows”, when the people we’re talking about are “criminals”, and “we don’t want two classes of people in America” when the “classes” discussed are “citizens” and Illegal aliens”.
And what really pisses me off is most Americans will fall for it.
Doubts Emerge on Federal Government.
The problem is clientism. Trying to appease the “latino” vote and righteously pissing off their other clients, the Blacks and the Unions.
When they really should be using the opportunity to hold Obama accountable for each of his current scandals. Why can’t Rubio say something like “I’ll work on immigration reform just as soon as you release all of those Fast & Furious and/or Benghazi documents that you’re currently holding back.”
Oh, and McCain criticized Issa on Morning Joe this morning. He needs to officially leave the party already, because he hasn’t been a Republican for years.
Don’t these illegals know the proper way to line jump is to hire a wheelchair-bound American citizen to accompany them.
Also, don’t forget to have hand stamped so if you leave the country you can get back in.
How can doubts “emerge” when they were never hidden in the first place?
Oh, we’re talking about among the idiocracy? Carry on, then.
DEFINTELY read this commencement speech.

“when the “classes” discussed are “citizens” and Illegal aliens”. ”
Uh, citizens and criminals., more like it.
“Don’t these illegals know the proper way to line jump is to hire a wheelchair-bound American citizen to accompany them. ”
Queing and not queing is a big dealio with Latinos. It has been my experience that at any given moment 40 to 60 percent of any group of Latinos will push out of line. Abnormally high percentages of anarchists as well.
On Immigration, It’s ‘Reformers Versus Racists’
That speech is hilarious, di. I posted it on FB the other day.
Infrastrucural spending? Train rails,(in use), sewer grates, manhole covers, aluminium guard rails, road signs? Comunal property, or raw material to be re-sold?
I have photos with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back on how they are to be used as evidence.
You should at least have some warning as to whom is invited in.
Years ago, say a hundred years or so, during the great swells of Italian and Irish immigrants to NYC, folks were made to go to night school to learn the laws of the land and study up for the Citizenship Test. I’m not sure when this fell out of favor and people stopped learning to speak English and then stopped bothering with citizenship altogether. Forty years ago or so? I had some friends in high school who had parents who were illegals, didn’t speak English and yet collected benefits, sat around their subsidized housing and watched a lot of Spanish language television. The illegals were looked down on by the legal immigrants who were also Mexican and often used derogatory terms when speaking about the illegals.
I wondered when “wetback” became a racial slur instead of a behavioral descriptor.
I never heard anyone call Mexicans “wetbacks” when I was growing up. They were just Mexicans. They started getting hostile and forming gangs and going La Raza (some of them, not all of them of course) when I was in high school.
I had a gang of girls surround me at the head of a flight of stairs once. One of them started accusing me of giving her boyfriend the eye. “I seen you lookin’ at my boyfriend, Juara (blondie).” I told her I didn’t have a clue who her boyfriend was or what she was talking about and that she and her friends better get their asses out of my way NOW. They regrouped, muttered in Spanish to each other and walked off giving me the stinkeye and calling me “Puta!” They left me alone after that, though.
Did she have her back to the stairs, Leigh?
Poor ambush planning.
Yes, she did, mojo. I figured if push came to shove (ha!), she was taking a tumble.

Juara
Güera?
Aida, a woman I used to work with many moons ago, called me that all the time. I never knew what it meant , until she told me it meant “blonde”. She pronounced it “warra” or “warrita”.
Your spelling is probably the correct one. I was guessing.
I’ve heard “güero/a,” but that’s pronounced “GWE-ro.” Hard G.
Not sure what the other one is: maybe Northern Mexican variant.
In Colombia, they called me “mona.”
Aida was from Northern Mexico, yes.
The Columbians meant it the same way? That you are a white girl?
“Mona” = blondie, yes.
My hair is dark brown, but anything lighter than jet black is considered “blonde.”
I thought you had dark hair, but you are very fair skinned.
Makes sense, I guess if everyone else has dark skinned and black hair.
“Doubts emerge…” Well. So do hemorrhoids. And I generally find them to be red-faced and angry upon exposition. Like their daddy after perusing the immigration reform bill.
Oh please let this pass on July 4th. We’re already pretty doomed, so the irony would be worth the extra doom sauce in our doom salad.
Leigh, back in the 70’s and early 80’s we used wetback all the time. We also used Spic. At the time I lived in the Napa valley and southern Or.

I heard Spic a lot, ccs. I was in Santa Barbara in the 70s and 80s. One of my friends was half Mexican and she always said she was part Spic and part Span.

Colombians are a liberal mix of European, American, and African bloodlines, so fair skin such as mine isn’t terribly rare. I had a couple of Colombian companions that were as white as I am.
Still, they called me “mona” because my hair wasn’t jet black (the dominant color, even for the fair-skinned). I reckon they knew I wasn’t Colombian because I was a head taller than everyone else (5’7″) and I dressed weird.
5’7″ is tall in colombia or are you 6’7″?
“mona.”
Mono/a generic monkey. Type specific, named ie: Congo (Howler), Chi-Chi (spider) etc.
Blonde here is rubio/a.
“That you are a white girl” Gringa, Morena for darker complexions.
Gringo/a is not an insult here. In Mejico; si.
Negrito/a for black.
“5’7? is tall in colombia or are you 6’7??
Guatamaultecas average under 5’0”, many well under that. Theit infants look like tiny dolls

5’7″ is tall in Colombia. I attend church with various Latinos now and I tower over all the women and most of the men.
Seriously, especially the grandmothers, who might hit 5-feet in heels.

Having learned Spanish in the LDS Church’s training center prior to my mission, I had to relearn a LOT vocabulary after I got to Colombia.
Imagine my confusion when about three phrases into the typical first-time conversation (Where are you from? How long have you been here?), I’d hear what sounded like “hasta mañana,” but was actually “¿está amañada?” (~are you feeling at home/are you comfortable here?).
And then they said “párese,” to mean “stand up,” but I had learned “póngase de pie” for that, and I’d seen “PARE” on all the stop signs, so I thought they wanted me to stop. Doing what? I couldn’t tell. Fortunately, gestures tend to make some things pretty clear.
“¿Está amañada?” is not one of them.
So learning Spanish in a classroom setting and then going to Colombia was a pretty strange experience. It’s like learning English in America and then being plopped down in Cockney London.
“¿Está amañada?” = Tiene conforte= Literally; You have comfort?
Incomodo=unconfortable
Comodo=toilet
“I tower over all the women and most of the men. ”
i visited the frick mansion here. they were short peeps too.
Names are are another interesting subject.
John or Johnny=Jhonny
Know of a man named Usnavy. Ooss knob bee.
His father greatly admired the U.S. Navy.
Jhonny
That one drove me crazy. The H is silent anyway, so why use it at all, much less in the wrong place!
It was/is common in Cali for women to have “Luz + [something]” as a first name: Luz Marina (most frequent), Luz Alba, Luz Blanca, Luz Flor.
“Nelson” was a popular boys’ name, at least among the young. “Roger” was pronounced “ROY-yer.” Kids would wear tee-shirts with vulgar English phrases on them and they’d turn green when I implied what they meant.
“Junior” also functioned as a first name, and among Latinos, girls often are named after their mothers, just as boys are after their fathers. Not sure why we N. Europeans don’t name girls after mothers (grandmothers and great-aunts, yes, but not mothers).
I can’t beat “Usnavy,” though. That’s pretty cool.
Lots of girls’ names that sound clunky in English sound nice in Spanish: Claudia, Irene, Martha, Bertha, Ursula.
I’ve met some girls from Europe who were named after their mothers, but not a lot. It seems pretty common here in Oklahoma for girls to be named after their mothers and to be called “Junior” just like boys after their fathers. That’s when they aren’t giving them trashy names like Alaska and Destiny and Braxton and Nevaeh.
Colombians are preferred here in LA for translation work
a lot cause of how mongrelized other strains of the espanol have gotten
but also cause of they tend to be sharp cookies
They also are reputed to have the very best drugs.
May explain their popularity in LA.
i do not believe that what you say is true I believe it is a Harmful Stereotype
Tangently related at best, but ,a href=”http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/06/kindergarten_and_the_kafkaesque.html”>this article is really quite brilliant. I highly recommend. A taste:
Argh.
this article
“are reputed to ” means Stereotype, dumbass.
that was very disdainful what you said Mr. lee
plus your link sucks ass
There is often truth in stereotyping. It’s a mental shortcut and we all do.
that is true but I do not know these narco-columbians just the smart sweet gentle kind
I love them very much
The link, no suck-ass edition. (hopefully)
Would someone please figure out what happened to preview? Please?
I know you doubt it’s importance, but let them mature to the legal age of consent before you love them very much.
For the children.
And I mean to be disdainful, in case you didn’t know.
the link is good
Drug dealers of the Central American kind are pretty stabby.
The child is learning to feel guilty if he catches himself in possession of thoughts unacceptable to the state as such; that is, he is learning to submit.
these are not the schools fascists like porky porky chris christie and his food stamp boyfriend send their children to
What kids like Christies do is get a bigger kid to take the pop tart away from a less popular kid, chew it into a gun, and use it to imaginarily protect Christies kid.
‘Cuz that’s the proper use of rich kids pop tarts, guns, and respect.
[…] “Doubts Emerge on Senate’s ‘Gang of Eight’ Immigration Bill” | protein… […]
What kids learn at the schools the Christies and the Obamas send their kids to is that there are two kinds of guns: the good kind, carried by licensed agents of the state (or state-approved private security) in order to protect the better sort; and the bad kind, carried by everyone else, and therefore likely to fall into the hands of the worser sort.

The expo gal where I work is messican, and she calls me “Carleena”. Her boyfriend does now too. She never could get out “car in” correctly. So she decided that’s what she would call me.
Actually, she’s not working right now, as she prepares to deliver her anchor baby late this month/early next.
Our entire kitchen staff is messican. Well, there are two or three men of pallor in there.
Sorry, not believing that there’d be enough pop tart left to make a gun if Christie was anywhere around.
Maybe if it was the last one out of a whole case.
Hey!
I propose a new pronunciation and spelling for what is perpetrated in government-owned schools: idiocation.
And the perpetrators are idiocators.
Heh. No offense, McGehee. If you are living in Missouri and have never lived elsewhere, let alone Alaska, why oh, why would you name an innocent little girl “Alaska” and then proceed to call her “Allie”?
The child is tagged as a denizen of the trailer park forever.
They’ve been naming kids Dakota for years already — and I’m pretty sure Georgia and Virginia were colony names before they were people names.
