What do I do with this RW e-mail poop?
I know, I should just trash it and walk away, but it erks me people believe this crap.

Illegal Immigrants Poem


I cross ocean,
poor and broke,
Take bus,
see employment folk.

Nice man treat me
good in there,
Say I need to
see welfare.

Welfare say,
"You come no more,
We send cash
right to your door."

Welfare checks,
they make you wealthy,
Medicaid it keep
you healthy!

By and by,
I got plenty money,
Thanks to you,
American dummy.

Write to friends
in motherland,
Tell them ''come
fast as you can.''

They come in turbans
and Ford trucks,
I buy big house
with welfare bucks

They come here,
we live together,
More welfare checks,
it gets better!

Fourteen families,
they moving in,
But neighbor''s patience wearing thin.

Finally, white guy
moves away,
Now I buy his house,
and then I say,

"Find more aliens
for house to rent."
And in the yard
I put a tent.

Send for family
they just trash,
But they, too,
draw the welfare cash!

Everything is
very good,
And soon we
own the neighborhood
We have hobby --
it''s called breeding,
Welfare pay
for baby feeding.

Kids need dentist?
Wife need pills?
We get free!
We got no bills!

American crazy!
He pay all year,
To keep welfare
running here.

We think America
darn good place!
Too darn good for
the white man race.

If they no like us,
they can scram,
Got lots of room in
Pakistan.


SEND THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN
TAXPAYER
YOU KNOW

4. tell him to stop forwarding bigoted emails from his KKK buddies
Why are they not complaining about corporate welfare? Our hard earned money goes to big corrupt businesses and filthy rich people.

I don't mind paying taxes if it supports the needy and poor. But to shove it up those rich bastards' asses...that makes me want to puke
:puke:

6. Remind them that both illegal and legal immigrants
are inelligible for welfare benefits - thus the premise of the whole bigoted email is tripe. Ask why the sender(s) are intent on passing on lies/misinformation, and worse yet are they aware of how bigoted they appear to many who are too polite to respond ... consider the following statements:

Send for family
they just trash,
But they, too,
draw the welfare cash


Human beings as "trash" - sounds like a throwback to those bigotted whites in the Jim Crow south who honestly believed that African Americans deserved fewer rights than whites...

Everything is
very good,
And soon we
own the neighborhood
We have hobby --
it''s called breeding,
Welfare pay
for baby feeding.


Reproduction as "breeding" again making comparisons to human beings as animals - another throw back to our more racist past in this country where we made human beings slaves, counted them as property, but for the census got to count them as 3/5 of a person so that we could maintain some population benefits...

This point also shows ignorance, given that the 1996 Welfare Reform law prevents both illegal and legal aliens from receiving welfare benefits (though some rights and benefits to tax paying legal aliens have been, I believe, restored.) Point out that law has been in place for eight years - bet even those immigrating are more aware of this law than the ignorant folks who keep sending this jim crow era sounding tripe around.

7. If he is not a native American, then ask him when his ancestors
arrived in this country did they speak English, did they have a job on the very first day, did they come here to have a better life and would he have liked it if they were treated like this?

This pisses me off to no end. They need reprimanded for sending on a bigoted e-mail like this. I work with immigrant families and I am
personally offended.

8. Hit "Reply All" and send this
You know, someone once said that as you treat the least of your brothers and sisters on this planet, that's how you treat him. His name was Jesus.

I sure that little bit of doggerel verse is meant to be humorous, but as a Christian, I'm under strict orders from the Highest Authority to look out for people less fortunate than I am. I've had the luxury and the good fortune to be born into the most prosperous nation on the face of the planet. I've never known the ravages of war or famine like so many people who have been driven to come to this country. And it's the policies of the leaders of our country that inflict these miserable conditions on other people around the world. Policies that I will admit benefit me greatly.

And yet, your poem tries to say that with all the advantages and privileges that have been granted to me, that I should hug them close to my chest and refuse to share. What kind of a person would do such a thing? Jesus, as well as Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Paul and Moses had many hard words for selfish people like that. Read the books of Amos and Micah for more. They're short and not too "taxing."

The first murderer tried to excuse himself by asking "Am I my brother's keeper?" Surely we can do better than that. I know I can.

9. Immediately rush to DU and post it
so that the rest of us can all see the usual freeper spam again and try to be shocked by it for the hundredth time.

Or you could just delete it.
