DEAR AMERICA
Land of the brave. Home of the free!

MEXICAN SIDE: The grips of addiction dominate as the cartels force feed everyone... everything.
|
|
USA SIDE: The complicated subject that is addiction, used to run rampant as the citizenry couldn't say no. Then: The WALL was built. Addiction was immediately cured. Utopia Found!
In the meantime: Somewhere in North Dakota - Little Johnny goes online - where he learns how to cook American Meth. |
Don't let the fake media tell you that I have changed my position on the WALL.
It will get built and help stop drugs, human trafficking etc.

Could someone please tell me: What's the etcetera?
Should the rest of us be worried about you?
Your political leaders sure like to shout out “GREATEST NATION ON EARTH.” Sure, it’s good to be proud and patriotic, but c’mon, Y’all, just because you scream it out doesn’t necessarily make it true. Unless of course, you are George Costanza. And, crap, if you are so “BLEEPING GREAT” – what’s with all the MAGA hats?
Speaking of your leader, let me take a moment to listen:

Speaking of your leader, let me take a moment to listen:
“Human traffickers—the victims are women and children. Maybe to a lesser extent, believe it or not, children. Women are tied up, they’re bound. Duct tape put around their faces, around their mouths, in many cases, they can’t even breathe. They’re put in the backs of vans or cars or trucks. They don’t go through your port of entry, they make a right turn going very quickly, they go into the desert areas or whatever area you can look at, and as soon as there is no protection, they make a left or right into the United States of America, there is nobody to catch them, there is nobody to find them. They can’t come through the port, because if they come through the port, people will see four women sitting in a van with tape around their face and around their mouth. We can’t have that. And, that problem, because of the internet, is the biggest problem, it has never been like this before. That you can imagine, it’s at the worst level human trafficking, in the history of the world, this is not a United States problem, this is a world problem. But they come through areas where they have no protection, where they have no steel barriers, they have no walls, but we can stop, almost 100% of them--”

I’ll stop. In those 223 words, there is not a single mention of saving the women and children who have duct-tape around their faces or mouths. But, there sure as hell a lot of mentions of how the wall will stop the traffickers from smuggling these desperate women and children into America, where if the description the president is laying down is accurate, most certainly, they are in great peril. Sure, perhaps a wall will stop them from entering, but you know the saying: “out of sight out of mind”--or something along those lines. Mr. President, what happens to these women and children if they don’t make it into America: DO THEY GET TO GO HOME AND LIVE LONG LIVES? Maybe, just maybe, their best chance of survival is if they do make it into the States, then maybe, just maybe, the GREATEST nation on earth might be able to do something before these suffering women and children perish?
I don’t think that is what this is about. If the images the president is painting have a shred of truth to them, wouldn’t the GREATEST nation on earth go to almost any means to find a solution?
What if the duct taped women and children were white?
Let’s trip together into ANYTOWN USA:

Let’s trip together into ANYTOWN USA:
“Hey Timmy, you’ve got to get your life together. You must kick your addiction. How did you become addicted; Mexican drugs? No. Your life at home sucked. Your father drank heavily. He hurt himself at the plant and was prescribed painkillers. He hit your mother. The pain from his injury intensified. A year went by and the plant he worked at shut down. OMG. So, you and Billy got together and started cooking cleaning supplies from under the sink and, once cooked; snorted your concoctions? Jeepers. And, now, you are addicted. What about your family? Your dad’s healthcare ran out. He couldn’t find a job since the plant left town? He started buying painkillers from a man down on the corner? Oh my. Billy accidentally burnt his family's house down? Your dad overdosed and died.”
“Mister, it’s not all that bad, the president says the Mexicans are doing this to me. He’s saying as soon as the WALL is built, everything will return to normal. I will be addicted no more. I will stop using Mexican drugs. I will be able to sleep safe and sound. It’s not my fault. The president is just like the rest of us, he’s got our backs.”
“Timmy, you did say Billy cooked up the drugs in his house, didn’t you? Don’t you want to turn your life around, get a job, live a full life? No, you just want to continue to get high and escape your problems?”
“Mister, the WALL will keep the bad people out, the Mexicans did this to me, foreigners took away all the shit jobs none of "us" want to do anymore, but we like to blame the Mexicans for. As long as there are the Mexicans and blacks, I will never be the low man on the totem pole. Do you like my MAGA hat?”
“Timmy, I hate to tell you, the bad people are already here. And, Timmy, I’m not sure you can go any lower.”

Speaking of totem poles: America, can you please help me understand how a bunch of 16-17-year-old kids from a Christian school, possibly all select, on the same day, to wear MAGA hats? And, seriously, they are 16-17-years-old, when the hell was GREAT AGAIN: 2010?
America, how’s the installation of the shag carpeting coming along, I’ll hold up the corner for you, go grab a broom, and sweep, sweep, sweep, out of sight, out of mind. There now, isn’t everything better?

Hello, fellow Americans. Do we have an opportunity for you! Currently, our occupancy is kicking at 80%. Sure, we are the most incarcerated nation in the WORLD, don’t sweat it, we can always find more room at THE INN.
Have a drug problem, unpaid parking tickets, shoplifting charges, speeding tickets, on and on and on—let us take your thoughts away by giving you a room in one of our stellar institutions where you can work for the largest corporations in the world, making stuff to sell to the people on the outside. Don’t worry about ADVANCEMENT – there is no upward path. Some countries call their lodges GULAGS, we prefer “CHEAP LABOUR.”
Benefits: we’ll feed you
WE NEED YOU – IN SOME STATES IF WE DIP BELOW 90% OCCUPANCY, WE HAVE TO PAY A FINE TO THE CORPORATIONS WHO USE, YOU.

Damn you, BORDER WALL, for keeping out bad people. If we only had more bad people pouring into our country, then one day, we might be able to set some of you free, screw that, if we hit 100% occupancy, we’ll just build more prisons. After all, we are private and for profit.
Could America’s business plan include a large component of con(men)victs to feed corporate greed? Taking it a step further: is the resistance to gun control despite the ungodly amount of gun violence in the USA, a product of the need for crime to help fill the prison labour pool?
Poor Canadians, I’m pretty sure at times, they think, they are renting the attic, and their landlord happens to be a PARANOID CRACK ADDICT.
Let me take a moment to speak on behalf of most of the world: we are worried about you, we love you. Sure, we understand immigration, addiction and the massive gap between rich and poor are significant problems needing to be addressed. Not to mention, corporate greed. But, let me say, and I mean this with the utmost of kindness, can you please stop screaming out that you are THE GREATEST; who are you trying to convince?
And, I beg of Y’all, stop believing everything you are told by those with the largest platforms.
The whole world is full of brilliance and beauty and a capacity for good far greater than at any time in history, of course, I can’t verify this because I’m only living during this time in history—but anyway, let’s nurture the good and work together to find viable solutions for the challenges. America, please don’t go it alone, like said before, we love you, and we’re here to help, at least listen.
A wise man once said (unverified): “Never trust a man who never drank.”
Last thought: if you insist on living in a denial fuelled by paranoia, instead of spending billions-upon-billions on a wall, why don’t you just lay down mile-upon-mile of red, white and blue, heavy thread-count shag carpeting along your southern border. If you do, you can lift the corners and sweep all your challenges under the rug and, as they say: “out of sight, out of mind” —that way the little Timmy’s and Billy’s of the USA can finally kick their addictions and return to chasing the American dream. Unless of course, they are working for a corporation from inside a prison.
Warm Regards,
The citizens from the “NOT AS GREAT COUNTRTY’S” of the rest of the WORLD!
