Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Madison Tuttle. I graduated from Berlin Polytechnic with a Zwingender Lugner degree in Women's Studies, Aeronautics, and Phrenology, and I've been married some. While singing back-up for Cher, I met and dated Sonny, or was it Chastity? Whatever. Anyway, at one point, I was also engaged to Kurt Cobain, or was it Courtney? Well, you get the idea; I know People. Additionally, I wrote all of Ozzy's major hits, and Paul McCartney simply begged me to come write songs and sing back-up for him, too! Unfortunately, I was busy with husband number two (or was it three?) and breaking the Zodiac's code at the time and, sadly, couldn't commit. In my spare time, I invented the Internet, or was it the DeLorean? My memory is simply too fogged from Mensa exercises to remember for sure. I tried to start a family at one point, and I still believe Emily Scully is actually my love child even though I didn't get to give birth to her (don't ask me how, but aliens had to be involved). I was also Nancy Reagan's authentic psychic, Harrison Ford's visionary agent, Stephen King's true muse, and the brilliant legal adviser for Law & Order (uncredited). Busy, busy, busy! I should make a great mayor!
Oh, and this poor woman running against me claims she went by the name "Pinky". No wonder no one remembers her. But if anyone says they don't remember me, just tell them I went by "Leather".
Did I also mention being the first female Marine drill sergeant (during 'Nam, no less!)? Semper Fi!

Crackdown on Illegal Immigrants
So, now everyone's complaining that they have no laborers. I know this affects the markets and prices, but it also has an effect on my Social Security benefits. Does no one but me get that I've worked hard my whole life, paid all of my taxes, filed every tax return, and I'll be lucky if I get my own money back upon retirement? Why am I paying for uninsured non-citizens? Why do I get stuck paying for them to have children here just so their brood will be American citizens? Why do I pay for their schooling, accidents, legal advice, lack of insurance, medical care, and incarcerations? Why am I called a racist for wanting to get what I've paid for? I pay for everything I do and buy, but my rates go up every time a non-citizen with no license or a suspended license gets into an accident or gets hurt.
My biggest question is why isn't the Mexican government doing anything, and why are we letting them get away with it? And why are we the big, racist, terrible superpower, selfish bastards who are mistreating these lawbreakers? Why are we wrong for enforcing what any self-protecting nation would consider basic? Do I think Mexicans and most other illegals are terrorists? Absolutely not. But that doesn't mean they can trample on my rights and my money and my privileges while hollering that I'm trampling on their rights! They have no rights as Americans because they're not! Wake up! They are not citizens! They have the right to be returned to their respective countries, not to receive the same rights I do simply because they showed up.
When you travel to almost any other country in the WORLD, they expect to see a return plane ticket or a time-stamped visa or an agenda describing when you plan on leaving. Are they racist or prejudice? No. They are also very clear about you not working on the black market or being under-the-table or being a student without permission. They don't want you ending up there causing trouble or feeding off their system or ignoring their laws. This is standard. So why is the United States racist or "mean" for expecting people to go home OR stay here and follow the rules and laws?
I am a total liberal, but I'm very tired of this rhetoric. Yes, we are a country of immigrants, but we need to grow up and quit acting like our own citizens are bass-ackwards racists who can't see the future. We see it just fine because we paid for it. We may not always agree with our government, but handouts and write-offs and jobs to illegals shouldn't be a part of it. Americans pride themselves on independence and making their own way. Helping people is also part of the American way, but not when they completely disrespect us and could care less about showing any sort of appreciation. Let's face it, they've been given so much leeway in the last 30 years that they really don't care, and it shows!
Thanks!
