Another Take

Another take on the border crisis. We regularly bust people, put them in jail and chastise them for “scamming.” When they steal money or scam people into joining up and paying for whatever they are selling we arrest them and put them in jail.

We have immigration laws in the US, but I bet less than 2 percent of us know what those laws are entirely. How would a poor uneducated man or woman from Guatemala know of our laws?

What they know is their living is untenable in their homes and they are told by “Scammers” that they will be transported to the land of the free and the home of the rich Americans. All they have to do is give the “Scammers” all their money and they will be transported to an idyllic place where they can work and be free.

They come here for a dream that some guy who is just like Bernie Madoff instilled in them, gave him their life savings in the biggest pyramid scheme in history. We locked up Bernie for the rest of his life and I think everybody is happy about that.

It’s not totally our fault, but it is our duty to make the best of a bad situation. Catch the coyotes and hang the mother fuckers
