"Okay, er..." I searched for words. "We've been mewling that Mexicans are invading the U.S. Now we'll say that the A-Rabs and Mexicans are the same. Hell, we'll call 'em Mexrabs. And, you heard of that there al Quaida, right? We'll make it sound Mexican by calling it El Quaida." "Look Stumpy, " I said, "not all Mexicans and not all Arabs are bad or are terrorists." "You wimp," said Stumpy. "It ain't our job to sort 'em out. They ain't got no right to come to this country. And when they do, we sit around and hug each other and talk as though we're zonked out PTA types on happy juice. This is PR stuff I'm up to here." "So what do you want to do?" I asked. "The best defense is a strong offense," replied Stumpy. "And, in this context, this means exactly what?"

"Damn it. We're gonna hafta invade Mexico, that's what?" "We are?" "Yep. First we'll talk it up and link Mexicans and A-Rabs in the public mind and then we'll add Mexico to that there friggin' Axis of Evil that Dubya talked about. After that, we'll invade the friggin' place and make it part of the U.S. Screw that Aztlan crap. We ain't gonna let them invade us any more. Now it's our turn."

"Hell, we ain't gonna send no ground troops to Mexico," said Stumpy. "That ain't how America does war anymore. We're gonna send our bombers over Mexico and bomb them terrorists like we did in Afganistan. We'll stop them evil doers."
Just then the doorbell rang. "Excuse me a minute, I gotta go pay my gardener, Jose." "Hey, Stumpy," I said when he came back, "I heard you talk to that guy in Spanish. I didn't know you knew Spanish." "Yeah, I had to pick some up. Everyone around here speaks it," said Stumpy. I was starting to get suspicious of Stumpy. "Where are your kids?" I asked. "Maria, the maid, took them down to the park." "Stumpy, I noticed some guys up on your roof, what's going on?" I asked. "Stumpy, " I said, "you have a Mexican gardener, a Mexican maid, a bunch of Mexicans on your roof and you're talking about bombing Mexico?" "Oh, these Mexicans are different. These ones want to be Americans." "Are they illegal aliens?" I asked. "Hell if I know. I didn't check. I think they're just people trying to make better lives for themselves." ![]() |
