-Not necessarily satire
To Mexican President Felipe Calderone:
OK. As a party of one individual American citizen, I give up! You can have California. I am sure there are MILLIONS more citizens who will agree with me.
But we reserve the right to erect a tall fence complete with triple rolls of barbed razor wire and post armed security forces at our border lines to prevent admittance of any illegal aliens into the United States.
Consider this as a warning; we will take all measures necessary to keep our country free of any intruders. You might reconsider any attempts as we are planning to copy the Mexican laws that deal with illegal aliens who try to cross into YOUR country and we WILL use them against you.
To my fellow countrymen: This could be a wonderful opportunity to really do something wonderful for our country. Imagine the benefits! Sure we might lose a bit of income taxes, but think of the HUGE amounts of tax dollar outlays we will save by not having to pay for all of these non-income producing, parasites that want EVERYTHING handed to them for FREE. We will end up saving literally billions of dollars.
Another HUGE benefit that will accrue to the newer, more streamlined, California-less United States, and that is the fungus or plague called Hollywood, with its anti-American and blaspheming morally corrupt, erroneously called “stars” that bleat and condemn and incorrectly apologize for our country for transgressions that are mostly of their own making.
What a burden that will be to get that piece of trash jettisoned from our borders without having to fire a shot. Goodbye and God Bless, Arnold, and be sure to keep another of the Kennedys with you. And won’t it feel good not to have to listen to the deranged mouths of Maxine Waters, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Henry Waxman, Jerry Brown; oh, I could go on and on? In fact, the more I think of this idea, the better it gets.
To Governor Arizona Governor Jan Brewer: You can keep your water if you think it might be needed in your own state. Those Californians are so quick to condemn you and your wonderful plan of enforcing illegal immigration into your state, maybe when they get their way and are being run (or over-run) by the illegal aliens (who won’t be aliens anymore) they can make their own water from the sea or buy it from Mexico.
This is probably a little too much to hope for, but it sure would be nice to accomplish. Consider the trade-off: We get rid of one of the most troubling states that will soon have no money with which to pay any taxes to the federal government; a state that will have many more millions of mouths to feed; bodies to provide healthcare and insurance to; people to house and clothe and educate and less illegal uprisings against the government.
All we lose is a whole class of troublesome and discontented complainers who don’t like the United States anyhow.
How could it go wrong?
