Got this forwarded to me today and decided to post it. I'll probably make some people mad with this, and I'm not really looking to get into any political debates, but I totally feel where this guy is coming from, whoever wrote this:
Dear President Bush:
I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? I don’t want to be arrested and charged with a felony for going over the border into Mexico illegally like they would most people, oh and to be sure to alert their border patrol that I’m coming, so that they won’t shoot us. And while you are at it, also let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. All government forms be printed in English.
4. I want my kids to be taught by native English-speaking teachers.
5. Schools should include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.
7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals. I also expect fresh turkeys in the market during the last week of November.
12. I would also like to have a job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.
13. Please tell all the people in the country to be nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely. Please also advise him that if the above demands are not met, I will get together with my extended family and friends and plan a huge demonstration that will be sure to disrupt traffic- people trying to get to work, to the airport, to school, etc.
Thank you so much for your kind help.

I'm not sure you would fare very well in Mexico there isn't a lot to eat. Remember you would actually have to WALK across the border....WALK. No no, that's definitely not for you. Why don't you stay here and continue to disgrace yourself in lonliness and bigotry, while you provide no reedeming value to our society as a person. We can't all be lucky enough to have the privledge of talking shit merely because the hand of fate allowed us to be born free. Some people are ugly on the outside, others are ugly on the inside. How does it feel to be batting 0 for 2?
At least I posted my opinion without having to hide, or stoop to personal attack. If you really stood up for your belief that's contrary to mine, you would have proudly posted a name with your comment. It's so easy to shout from the shadows...
I know that the email is meant somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but I find no humor in it. We don't see eye to eye on the subject, and that's enough said, as I know you don't wish to get into a politcal argument.
That being said, forcking anom trolls like this give the other side of the debate a bad name. Keep your chin up, Kara. You have the right to be wrong ;), but you shouldn't have to put up with that kind of crap.
I think you're all missing the point.
In spanish Fox = Zorro.
He's Presidente Zorro!
Arrrrrrriba!
(I'm hispanic so I can joke about it, YOU can't blanco/a!)
Speaking of spanish, you guys better start learnin, cus in 20yrs or so you're gonna be in the minority.
KOM is ok, cus he can order "Relleno's y Cerveza, por favor" I'm not so sure about the rest of you guys.
Hey, Lady,
Glad to see that I am not the only one that can shake the proverbial blog tree... nice going! Ignore Mr./Mrs. Anonymous... typical tree-huggin', communist-bordering liberals... no backbone.
Glad to hear that you got your taxes done, too. Congrats. How much is the refund? Another round at J&J... on you?! :-)
All kidding aside, thanks for the recent message over in my neck of the 'net... thank you for thinking of me.
Not to be too political either (here at least), but you do realize that most of those things on your list are available to you in Mexico? In most cities where Americans are populous, English is common. Classes are most likely taught about US history (I assume by 'American' you didn't really mean 'North America'). For the free medical care I admit you'd probably have to go to Canada. At least in Mexico, medical care can be so dirt cheap it's almost like free.
Of course to take advantage of these things, you would probably not be getting top doctors. You might have to sit in a crowded ER waiting room for 6 hours before someone sees you. You could most likely get away without paying taxes, but that would require you to work under the table for maybe $1.00 an hour.
If you really wanted to go to Mexico (and it sounds like you do), I'm sure they would be very happy to bring you in as a migrant worker. After all, some of their hardest workers have already left.
