Undocumented emigrants

Undocumented Mexican immigrants are sneaking across the border in record numbers to find jobs. Only, it's not what you think. They're heading south back to Mexico, where the unemployment rate is lower...

There are fewer undocumented immigrants in California – and the Sacramento region – because many are now finding the American dream south of the border.

"It's now easier to buy homes on credit, find a job and access higher education in Mexico," Sacramento's Mexican consul general, Carlos González Gutiérrez, said Wednesday. "We have become a middle-class country."

Mexico's unemployment rate is now 4.9 percent, compared with 9.4 percent joblessness in the United States.

Pretty soon, Americans are going to be packing themselves like sardines in trucks to sneak into Mexico...

I got a cousin and she got a friend,
Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help
At his apartment I knocked on the door,
He wouldn't come out until he got paid.
Now don't tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out you know that they'll never let me through, cos

It's no fun being an illegal alien, no
It's no fun being an illegal alien...

Taco Bell worker goes out with a bang

This is funny. A disgruntled teenaged employee at the KFC/Taco Bell on Transit Road, found an interesting way to tell his manager he wouldn't be coming in to make tacos anymore. Whatever happened to putting in your two weeks' notice?

DEPEW, N.Y. (WIVB) - A former employee at the Taco Bell/KFC at Transit and Losson in Depew chose to make a bold statement when they decided to leave their position.

The employee left a message on the fast food restaurant's exterior sign Thursday night announcing they quit. The sign reads, "I quit - Adam / **** you :)" A co-worker of the supposed sign maker at Taco Bell/KFC tells News 4 that apparently Adam is the name of a shift manager at the restaurant who denied the worker the Fourth of July off after they had worked 22 days straight, despite allowing others to have the day off.

The kid worked 22 straight days, Adam. Give him the day off for the fourth. This story reminds me of two friends of mine who worked at the Noco gas station near my house. Chris used the big sign in front to write Brian (Last Name) likes men. It was up for a few hours. Everything was fine until Brian's mother stopped by to buy some milk (true story). Brian could have sued Chris, but back then, we settled things with our fists. Right after walking to school uphill in the snow for sixteen miles. And after the nuns beat us with their rosaries, we thanked them...

Davis' makes outrageous comment

A millionaire Republican political candidate from Western New York made an outrageous comment this week and no, it was not Carl Paladino...

Congressional candidate Jack Davis shocked local Republican leaders in a recent interview when he suggested that Latino farmworkers be deported -- and that African-Americans from the inner city be bused to farm country to pick the crops.

Anyone who reads this blog regularly knows we're against most forms of political correctness. However, Davis' comments to me were way over the top. To single out an entire race, shows bad judgment. There are people of all races looking for decent paying jobs in this area. While maybe not intentional, the comments make it sound like this type of work was below whites. And I can tell you, there would be many whites willing to do farm work for decent money.

Busing an entire race of people to perform work conjures up images of slavery, which politically correct or not, Davis should have had enough sense to avoid. It's too bad, because I like the fact that Davis is taking on the establishment yet again. However, comments like this make me question whether he is in touch with the constituents of the district. The GOP leaders, who fear a Davis candidacy, were predictable in their response...

"I was thunderstruck," said Amherst GOP Chairman Marshall Wood. "Maybe in 1860 that might have been seen by some as an appropriate comment, but not now."
