RESPONSIBILITY

RESPONSIBILITY

The state of being the person who caused something to happen.

A task or duty that you are required or expected to do.

A duty or task  that you should do because it is morally right.

Accountability.

.

First post that highlights what illegals has done to four important people in my life.

 About 35+  years ago my Mother  had to have surgery.

Being on MediCare she had to get all the paper work done before and she was to be responsible for any extra costs.

She lived about five minutes from a hospital you could see from her kitchen window.

I just assumed she would go there. But instead she had to go to the hospital across town.

About 35 minutes away.

Why ? according to her doctor the hospital was always on the verge of being shut down.

The maternity ward was hemorrhaging money.  The Hospital could not pay its bills. Turns out in all the years the hospital was open, there was never a baby born there that was not paid by the State of Arizona.  I could not believe this ! I was so shocked.

 So to keep the hospital open, the only one on the south side of town, they closed the maternity ward.  That way they could keep the hospital open and look for a buyer.

 Some time later it was bought and assimilated into a group hospital. And the Maternity Ward was again open.

 The press was there for the big day.  TV and Newspaper, cameras at the ready.

Before they could cut the cake the first baby was born. To a Mexican National who's baby was paid for by the State of Arizona. She was "accidentally" in Tucson shopping (?) She said she didn't know her due date and this baby was a big surprise. The thing is she already had four children living at home in Mexico. 

 Now to anyone reading this due date or not when the baby turns and starts down the birth channel you know it ! and after four children she knew what was going on. She was in Tucson for a reason. And so it starts again. Anchor Baby, over and over again.

  She has two options both illegal in the way she will use it.

#1 She and her child stay in Arizona. She will get section 8 housing, social security, food stamps and aid to dependent children and she will have her ANCHOR BABY. As soon as they can the other children we join the  Anchor Baby and mother along with a few aunts, uncles and cousins, all illegal but the new baby. Then another Anchor Baby will be born for the money and another......

#2  She will have her checks sent to a friends home in Tucson but she will keep living in Mexico, Once a month she will come back cash the check buy food get free health care and then go back to Mexico.  And the babies Social Security number will be rented out to use by other illegals.

  My Mother a legal citizen of the United States, who worked hard all of her life, paid all her taxes on time, never stole anything had to pay for her health care.
But an illegal who planed this baby to circumvent the law will get everything free  And will do it again and again. Along with all the extra government programs they can sign up for, church groups that will feed and clothe them and the food bank that gives them boxes of food and.......

How to fix this.

No more Anchor Babies. If your illegal just don't come here but that will not happen.
So if you are here and have your baby, illegaly, the child gets a Social Security Number and then gets put in the mothers arms and gets sent back to what ever country she came from. When the child is 21 only she or he can come back to America if that is what they want. 

#2  If you are already here with Anchor Babies, that is it. No More ! If you are on welfare, you get put on birth control and learn to be RESPONSIBLE and take good care of the children you have and only them. If you want more children take RESPONSIBILITY for them. Or the ACLU which will no doubt bring suit against this policy should pay for all of you and the many extra children needs.  

Sounds harsh and it is.  We need to stop this now. Girls, women and babies are not to be exploited like this ever !

Babies are not to be used for money by the very people that should love them, protect them and be responsible parents. Women are not to be use by husband, boyfriends or the drug cartels for money. Women and babies are not commodities.  They should not be exploited as a way to circumventing the law.

In the last U.S. Census, that was published in the newspaper and I read, Arizona is the fastest growing Hispanic state. Over half of the babies born here are paid for by the State Of Arizona. Of these babies most of them are born to teenage Hispanic girls. The #1 name for boys in Arizona is Juan. 

Tomorrow it will be me ! Because it will be about health care. Then two of my very best friends.

I hope you can stick with me so you can understand why many of us are overwhelmed by the massive needs of illegals. Never ending needs. Billions of dollars of needs all spent for votes.

update... my blog will continue with "what it is like to live in a border state" on Monday.

These posts will be stories of what happened to my mother and two very good friends because of the mass influx of illegals.

Health care, economics and education will be featured. 

then I will shut=up because it really doesn't matter. 

I am out voted

and so are you but you really don't know it yet.

living in a Border City... part 4

What will happen to all the children ?

The cities who are protesting the influx of this mass wave of mothers and children 

have good reason not to want them in their city. 

First of all when the mothers, children and teens are smuggled from whatever country, it is by the Drug Cartels. 

Years ago the cartels took over the people smugglers. Either you work for them or you were killed. They do not smuggle out of the kindness of their hearts is for money. Lots of money anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 American.

Part of this money is needed to pay off the Mexican Army at the southern border. There is a zone on this border where the Army can shoot to kill anyone.  So when this amount of  Central Americans cross into Mexico you know the corrupt Army and Police are being paid off.   Usually the cartels will hold the people half way in a remote areas and ask the families for ransom to complete the trip or they will just kill them. Large graves are  found filled with Central Americans illegals that the cartel were paid to smuggled into the US.
 Not everyone who makes it into Mexico makes it to the US. So to have such a huge amount of mothers, teens and children make it to the US Border you know this was all planed. And very well planed !

The cities that have been protesting the shelters for unaccompanied illegal children know what is happening. It has happened all before and this is the last straw.

It is because of who/what the illegals are bring with them.  They are bring everything with them they say they are trying to escape. They are now own by the drug cartels, the gangs and the violence. If they owe money to the cartels the kids are used for drug runners, lookouts and guides. Women and children will be  exploited.

1. What you don't know is many of the children will be housed  for 45 day and then released to family, their illegal families in the US, with dates to return to court. 

This is happening in Oracle, Arizona right now.  We were informed that no one there is being sent back, all will be released to illegal families already here. And if you think any of these people will return for court dates,  let me show you a copper mine I have to sell. 

2. In the first holding area in Nogalas Arizona  the oldest was a 17 year old male. The next oldest were several teen girls who are pregnant and already have children with them. What happens to them ?   Guess !

They will have Anchor Babies.

When you are here illegally and have a baby in the US the baby is a citizen and the illegal mother and father (?) stay as the guardians. The baby receives Social Security,  aid to dependent children, food stamps and section 8 housing. 

They  are being rewarded for breaking the law and being illegal. 

The extended family will move in and next year there will be another Anchor baby to help with food stamps, aid to dependent children and all the extra free services the government gives out.

3. The rest of the children are the ones who were sent ahead so later they will say... you can't break up the family and the parents will soon come.  Section 8 housing, food stamps, aid to dependent children........ and so it goes.

 

Winners, 

Corrupt Mexico, the cartels, the illegals and the Hispanic groups that are pushing for this and the Democrat Party. Votes= power.

Losers.

The American homeless, the downsized, returning veterans, veterans at any VA Hospital, the working poor and our older Social Security Seniors who have to chose between food, meds or utilities that month and me. I think these people should apply for amnesty and pro bono service.

Now with all the illegals here where will they live ? They will move to Phoenix, Santa Ana,  Compton, Chicago, Detroit Baltimore and New York.

Will they be living in Beverly Hills, or on The White House lawn ?  

They will move into the neighborhood filled with illegals, gangs, drugs, and turf wars.  Just like where they lived before. Except now they get all these free stuff paid for by me and you.

Tomorrow... using women, anchor babies and children for money. 

Next up is education.

Border State part 3

Illegal

Unlawful, illegitimate, illicit, unlicensed,  criminal, violation of statutes, not sanctioned, not permitted or lacking legal rights.

The mass influx of children and teens crossing the border into Texas is what ?  

Illegal !

But the news and our government is as usual pointing fingers, the liberals are crying, sob stories are flooding the news but our President has been so indecisive  on this subject that for once the Democrat party (my party) has been literally caught with their pants down.

President Obama,  does not want to lose the Hispanic vote  (it is all about the votes) but with the current state of our economy he could not really just come out and say this. 

Yes, I know congress is partly responsible. But his hemming and hawing has put us all in trouble. From us,  to the children who are being used for money and power. 

And if you don't think this is a play for power boy do I have a gold mine in Arizona to sell to you.

Quick note, it was so weird and strange that when the holding centers in Texas became overcrowded where did he send the overflow ? not to any of the states next to Texas but Arizona the state that has been a thorn in his side.  The government sent bus loads of women and children dropped then off at the Greyhound Bus Station in Tucson with paper slips dated with the day they are to return to court. And then left ?

For all my life I have lived with the problems of illegals and I want to tell you I am burned out. Every bit of sympathy has been beaten out of me and then stomped on for good measure.

And the reason is all the Mexican illegals who for years, years and years and more years  have treated America has their personal bank accounts. Sob stories, crying, poor me, the children oh the children and tears more tears.

phiff !

When I moved back to Tucson I was excited as the governor at the time was Janet Napoiitano.  Not the fact she was a Democrat but the fact she was  constantly in the papers talking about our about the unsafe border, the mass of illegals crossing the border and the cost. The massive coast to Arizona.  At the time President Bush was in office. Gosh I thought, here was a Governor who was really concerned about our state. 

Then Mr. Obama was elected President. and she was chosen to be Secretary of Homeland Security. I was sad at Arizona's loss but I thought here is a person from the Southwest who understand our problems. 

Boy was I wrong because "Magically", the very next day there was no border problem in Arizona or any border state. She started toeing the party line. 

By the way, I am a registered Democrat but I vote across party lines.  

Right before she left Homeland Security and became the President of the University of California system she visited the border and gave it a thumbs up and was gone in a puff of dust.

phiff !

Tomorrow I will talk about (finally) illegals, the drug cartels,  corruption and money money money and more money and VOTES this is all about power and votes.

Sorry this is taking so long but I am trying to give you all a little back ground on this because the next few post you will not believe.

Mexico...

                      Here is the second post on what it is like to live in a border state.

Mexico

Another background post. I am trying to keep this short and as simple as I can.

Mexico is one of the wealthiest  country in the world.  Bet you didn't know this. They have vast quantities of  oil, natural gas, silver and gold mines. Land and the climate to grow huge amount of fruits and vegetables plus seafood ! Mexico is the 6th largest producer of oil and has a burgeoning solar power industry.
I read that Mexico produces more cars than any North American (USA ?) country.  GM, Chrysler and Ford have been there since around the 30's later came VW.  They also export electronics, trucks and machinery.
Mexico also holds a huge amount of American debt. Not sure how that works but a friend of mine was talking about this. Way over my head. I really do not understand this.

Mexico has always been the land of the very rich and the very poor.  Now it has established a  very large upper middle class when our middle class is all but disappearing.
So what the heck went wrong with Mexico.

 It is because Mexico is one of the most arrogant corrupt countries in the world.  It makes Russia and China look like 3rd grade bullies. It was hugely corrupt country before the drug cartels took over.  But the ground work is there.

The reality is much of the poor stay poor and Mexico, and the Catholic Church (my religion) does nothing to help, birth control is non-existence. The way they care for the poor is to point them towards  the US and say go.
The poor have limited health care beyond the clinics and educations stops when your are 15 years old. I will go into this in more depth when I write my posts about health and education.
Mexico wants as many of the poor to leave but be sure to send money back.
It is an huge industry.
From the making of shoes with maps on the insoles to carpet slipper produced to cover their shoes so when the illegally cross over the border so they won't leave foot prints. There even is/used to be a class held in a town on the west coast, who held a class in their city hall, not how to apply for a visa but how to sign up for all the free services you get across the border to the U.S.

Illegals is an export industry.

There is a now civilian group in Arizona that is patrolling the border. On Monday news they showed a tape from cameras they had set up along known trails. You see several groups of illegals  nightly, from 50 to 100 at a time crossing into Arizona. Along with these illegal are drugs. 60 % of all the drugs in America come through Arizona.

Next post illegals

also...
I appreciate the comments from yesterday.
I will answer your comment like I usually do so if you have any questions I will try to do my best.  But remember this is from what I see and read in the news.
Much of my information on Mexico and illegals comes from my friend who is Hispanic.
Much of his wife's family still lives in Mexico but my friends grandfather and grandmother were both legal citizens of America.




 

What it means to live in a border state and city.

 Not sure about this but here goes............

I will be posting for the next few days on what it means to live in a border state and city.

As I am not a writer. I hope to keep it as short as I can. Each post I will write about one subject from Mexico, economics, exploitation  of women and children by the drug cartels and their own families.  How the illegals have affected my family and two very close friends,  These are the stories you will never see on the news. It is the real life I/we live every day.
A little background on me.
I live in Tucson, Arizona which is about 66 miles from Nogales, Arizona and across the border to Nogales Mexico.
My family moved from Chicago to Tucson when I was very young. All and all my family has live here for almost 100 years. Not a super long time but enough time to see what is happening in my state.  I lived here till I graduated from The University Of Arizona in Tucson, then moved away to work.

Born in the 40's I grew up in the 50's lived through the 60's and made it through to today.

Today in the news our border with Mexico is overwhelmed by children who are being used by the Cartels,  Mexico and even their families.
I have lived with this for most of my life in California and Arizona. It is plain and simple exploitation to  circumvent the law for monetary gain and power on both sides of the border.

I lived through the Vietnam War protests but my cause was Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez and the battle to start the United Farm Workers of America. I am not sure if anyone reading this will remember the grape boycotts (started in 1965 lasted 6 years) in California that helped galvanize the UFWA. But I do and I still have a hard time buying grapes even today. This was a big impact on my life.

I will not go into the fight for UFWA but what it boils down to is the rights of workers for better working conditions, payment and the health problems of working with pesticides.

What I learned about economics, was something Cesar Chavez said. He was talking about the growers hiring illegal workers undercutting the boycott by UFWA.
Illegal workers who would work for less money, longer hours in horrible conditions.  The very things the union organize the boycott against the growers for.

What was true then has come around and is true today.
It was my "aha" moment.
You can't have a strong middle class (me)  or any middle class when we are being undercut by someone who will work for less money, paid under the table and not report it and for  longer hours with no benefits.
A strong legal workforce, befits us all.

Next post.......  Mexico.
