Just tell the lady at the welfare office how you think that bloke in the white house is your idol and you have it made. Oh yes, be sure to drop the proper English for Australian, we’re into Aussies right now. “Good ae mate” will even get you a job, if you want it.

[I doubt this will help JP. He is of the wrong ethnicity]

Telling them that they’d have done better just to swim the Rio Grande usually elicited a small laugh, but it’s probably true.

Ms. Mercer’s mistaken use of “paroling” for patrolling actually makes a point. [Fixed now] The government patrols the border, but foolishly paroles illegal aliens. That is, the illegals are released with a summons to appear at a hearing before an immigration judge. Few bother. According to an old VDARE.com article that I’m too lazy to look up, some illegals regard the summons as a “permiso,” a permit to remain in the United States.

While the Obama administration continues to create new piles of fiat money a trillion dollars at a pop, I really can’t work up much concern about illegal alien welfare recipients. (It might be amusing to plot our GDP evaluated in gold, to see whether it’s actually been increasing.) Obama’s cap and trade emissions bill will drive what’s left of our manufacturing overseas, and might just put an end to the reliable electricity we’ve all taken for granted. America will be a typical third world cesspool before the end of Obama’s second term. With any luck, I won’t live to see it in his fourth or fifth term.

Should I also show up uninvited in Texas if I want to become a US citizen?
