What about the legal ones?

Fifteen years ago my wife and I began a journey though the expensive bureaucratic land called legal immigration. The process took years and each step cost a few hundred dollars and would be more if you used a lawyer I am sure. There were plenty of bureaucratic snafus, like losing photo's or paperwork. Then we made the terrible mistake of moving 17 miles from Maryland to Pennsylvania and that caused our case to get transferred to Philadelphia from Baltimore even though we are an hour drive from Baltimore but 2.5 from Philly. Which caused our case to get moved back in the order of processing. Eventually...after thousands of dollars, to many 4am wake ups to get to Philly by 7am because all in person meetings are at a first come first serve basis and the line forms quickly, eventually...my wife who came he from that exotic locale called Canada received her "green card".  And this is what pisses me off about the immigration debacle. We did it the right way...we jumped through all the hoops, payed all the fees....did all they asked...usually twice because the first time got "lost"....and we are now played as chumps. Where is the legal aliens voice in this debate....I guess we do not have one because we paid our cash. Seems to me in 2013 only the fools follow the rules.

Liberals and lug nuts

Not to long ago I came across a Prius festooned with Obama stickers and other left wing loon slogans. It was on the side of the road with a flat tire on the front and a helpless and clueless driver on the side. So being a compassionate conservative I stopped to help. It was a simple flat tire. So I put the tire on but not the lug nuts.

She started to bitch. "What about the lug nuts?" "Well" I said..."you have 20 lug nuts...but I think that is too much. I am keeping 2 as a tax for not having roadside assistance coverage. I am keeping the other 3 because there are gonna be folks that just don't have enough. You know spread the wealth. You understand as a liberal right? You are too rich with lug nuts."

"But...but...that's not fair? I need all those! " "Really...you still have 15...I just took 5...what is 5 lug nuts to some one as rich as you who has 20?" 

"But my wheel will fall off!" she screeched.  "Well you need to share what you have don't you? You do not want to be greedy and hog all the lug nuts! Maybe you should take one from the other 3 wheels then you will have 3 holding on this wheel and 4 holding on the other. It should be safe I guess." 

"Will you do that for me? Will you take off one lug nut from each of the other 3 wheels?" "Sure!" I said. I then took 2 lug nuts off each of the wheels. 

"Now what the hell was that for? I just wanted one nut off each of the 3 wheels...and you took off 2 but only put 1 on!" I told her..."One for the other wheel and one as a lug nut equalization tax." 

She protested again...."Another tax...that is not fair. I wanted you to help me and all you did was take 8 of my 20 lug nuts and left me in worse shape than when I started."

Yep...now you know how the country feels. Maybe next time you will learn how to change a tire before you learn to vote for change.
