Immigration Reform? Too busy in Washington

I pondered doing a cartoon on all the hell going on in Arizona over their new state immigration law. I really felt it would be a difficult task to carry out tactfully. Besides I know the real issue behind the whole thing is really about money. It’s important that are borders be protected from intruders up to no good, but the clowns in Washington don’t really think it is important to hire real people with the proper training to do the job and pay them real money, instead they fritter money away and rely on egg-headed defense contractors to play with all sorts of fancy cameras and complex hardware and software. Real people on foot and a real fence would be more cost effective.

But what you really have to remember that war is money and when legislators pockets are dragging the grounds with all the money that is stuffed into them by egg-headed contractors and think tanks that build billion dollar stealth bombers that crash, 500 million dollar missiles that only kill a handful of people and usually the wrong ones.

Back on the home front the border is secured with rotten fence posts and rusty tin and outstretched miles of the border have no fence at all. The few border guards that are actually out in the field are stretched thin and overworked. They have wear the legal kid gloves if they ever really catch anybody because the ACLU is watching closely.

Meanwhile the fiends on Wall Street are coming up with all kinds of clever ways to play casino with the cash flowing like rivers through computer servers and the banking systems. Of course Wall Street needs a few good lackeys to work in this global casino. Someone to serve the drinks, shine the corporate executive shoes in the bathroom, and empty the drop boxes at the global dice tables on Wall Street. They are our representatives on Capitol Hill.
