[Winona] Illegal immigration/border issues

[Scott Hayden]

SORRY, I FORGOT TO SIGN MY NAME AGAIN.  NANCY HAYDEN


The following came to me via e-mail.  I had received the Real Player version
earlier with the actual broadcast. It was rather thought provoking so I
thought I would throw it out there for your review.

It is our goal to return to the Midwest, preferably the Winona Area.   In
the meantime, I will gladly be a sounding board for your questions and
inform you of the situations along the border porqué mi problema es su
problema tambien.

>From what I understand, the majority of newspapers, radio and TV are owned
by the same companies.  For instance, the Winona Daily News is owned by the
same company that owns a Tucson newspaper.  I believe there are only three
independent newspapers left in the country.  Public Radio has had to tone it
down as their funding was recently threatened, I’m sure because they were
informing the public on sensitive issues.  Accurate news is hard to come by.
As I stated before, we are spoon-fed so its hard to see beyond what the
media is allowed to present.

I’m sure its difficult to understand what another state is doing to cope
with these issues.  But I know it was a problem back in the 90’s in the
surrounding Winona area, and the INS was looking the other way with the
meat/poultry plants.  Now I understand Arcadia is going the same route.  I
know it was that way in the Iowa town I lived in that had the guts to
confront the problems and get control of the crime, gangs and tagging.  Same
problems, different city. Soon it will be Winona, its just a matter of time.

I happened to be in Tombstone a year ago on the weekend they initiated the
citizen posse for the border.  All in all, they are doing a fine job of
assisting.  Peaceful, dedicated people. It takes guts to stand up when
complacency rules.

I enjoy your posts and hope you don’t mind receiving “real-life” inputs from
a Winonan who is actually experiencing these problems.  Below is the e-mail
I referred to in the first paragraph.


You don't have to be a Limbaugh fan. This is a good read.

The last sentence is sort of a shocker ...


First, if you immigrate to the United States of America, you must speak the
native language. You have to be a professional or an investor. We are not
going to take unskilled workers. You will not be allowed. There will be no
special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections,
no government business will be conducted in your native language.

Foreigners will not have the right to vote, I don't care how long they are
here, nor will they ever be allowed to hold political office. According to
the Limbaugh Laws, if you're in our country, you cannot be a burden to
taxpayers. You are not entitled, ever, to welfare, to food stamps, or other
government goodies.

You can come if you invest here, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000
times the daily minimum wage. If you don't now have that amount of money,
you can't come and invest. You have to stay home. If you do come and you
want to buy land, okay, but we're going to restrict your options.

You will not be allowed to buy waterfront property in the United States.
That will be reserved for citizens naturally born in this country. In fact,
as a foreigner, you must relinquish individual rights to property. These are
the Limbaugh Laws.

Another thing. You don't have the right to protest when you come here.
You're allowed no demonstrations, you cannot wave a foreign flag, no
political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies, or you
get sent home. You're a foreigner. You shut your mouth or you get out, and
if you come here illegally, you go straight to jail and we're going to hunt
you down 'til we find you.

I can imagine many of you think that the Limbaugh Laws are pretty harsh. I
imagine today some of you probably are going, "Yeah! Yeah!"

Well, let me tell you this, folks. Every one of the laws I just mentioned
are actual laws of Mexico, today. I just read you Mexican immigration law
