(229 posts)"You see, little girl, the people I work for want cheap labor. They want to bring American Workers Incomes down to the income of Chinese Laborers. So, since Reagan (who "legalized" millions of foreign-workers for this very reason), we have stopped enforcing our hiring laws, which say only American Citizens and non-citizens with special permission are allowed to join the American Workforce. These laws are pretty-much the same everywhere in the world, only with much harsher penalties for violation in places like Mexico (just ask a Gutemalan doing a year of 'hard time', there).
But there is a catch - the "general populace," who we fool into thinking they have a voice in government - they don't want to work 14-hour-days for a bowl of rice. So we have to "sacrifice" a few families - people like your father - to put on a good show for the Perpetual Suckers that buy our act. I'm sure you understand - it's just how the Billionaire Elites Fool the Masses - and have for centuries. Hell, we even have the so-called Pro-union Workers Party backing the Immigration Bill the Billionaires wrote."

Now - What we wish Obama would say:
"We know your family probably came here out of desperation, after NAFTA destroyed your livelihood there, and the US-Military-Trained Zeta-Gang, who was only supposed to murder Uppity Mayans holding resources the Transnationals wanted to STEAL, began their rampage of mass-murder - thinking they had a right to profit from war-crimes and crony-rackets just like their corporate-bosses.
Of course, things weren't all so great before those recent "gringo interventions" - though you could at least grow your own food and Live With Your Extended Family - which you treasured far more than being able to "buy more stuff" at SquWalor Mart. But not to worry little girl. You will soon be reunited with your family at home in Mexico - and not to live in poverty, either.
I have just ordered the US Military to reverse the damage we did in supporting Mexican Despotism for over a century, and depose the fake-government run By and For the ~100 Families that have stolen the VAST WEALTH of your Entire Nation (petroleum, silver, tourism, agriculture) all unto themselves and with Transnational partners, and distribute YOUR Natural Resources as shares to Every Mexican Citizen. I have ordered all CIA records relating to Mexico to be immediately released. New elections will be held after a Truth and Reconciliation Commission Testimony provides your people with the Real History of their nation."
