DARWIN AWARD, LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT – BONUS ROUND

I recently wrote about the 900 liberal geniuses at the State Department who stupidly signed a letter saying they could not support the Trump foreign policy.  Odds are high that Tillerson is already going through that list with a smile.  Now we learn that today is being promoted as “A DAY WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS.”  It is a call for all undocumented residents to do the following today:

DON’T GO TO WORK

DON’T OPEN UP YOUR BUSINESS

DON’T BUY ANYTHING IN A STORE OR ONLINE

DON’T EAT AT A RESTAURANT

DON’T GO TO CLASS

DON’T LET YOUR KIDS GO TO CLASS

Here are a couple of articles explaining the strategy:

While the main stream media will consider this to be a major success, odds are most of us won’t notice.  Those who do notice may not consider this to be a problem.  There are about 157 million people in the U.S. workforce.  Let’s assume that there are 11 million illegal immigrants working here.  That means that at the most about 7% of our workforces are illegal immigrants.  Those who own businesses and have nice jobs are unlikely to participate in this event.  They have too much to lose and they are too smart to self-identify.  The people most likely to participate are students and if they skip school most people won’t even notice.

But wait, there’s more.  We don’t actually know how many illegal immigrants are living here.  Homeland Security estimates 11.4 million.  The Washington Post estimates less than 11 million.  But, if this effort is really successful, we will know a lot more of them.  Keep in mind that many illegal immigrants are pretending to be citizens.  They have id cards showing them to be citizens.  Here in California we give the Drivers’ licenses to make it easier for them.

Smart illegal aliens should probably read the following before they decide to skip work.

8 U.S. Code § 1324a – Unlawful employment of aliens

 (2)  CONTINUING EMPLOYMENT

It is unlawful for a person or other entity, after hiring an alien for employment in accordance with paragraph (1), to continue to employ the alien in the United States knowing the alien is (or has become ) an unauthorized alien with respect to such employment.

If you are an illegal alien and you don’t show up for work today and tell people this is because you are an illegal alien, you have not only given your employer grounds to fire you, you have actually made it illegal for your employer to legally continue your employment.

Do you remember the “The Great American Strike” that took place on May 1, 2006? What?  You don’t remember this?  Neither do many other people because it didn’t work. Odds are really high it won’t work this time either.  It may convince a lot of illegal aliens to self-identify making it much easier for ICE.

In 2006 the President of the United States was George W. Bush, not Donald Trump.  Bush was a pro-immigration reform guy.  Trump, on the other hand, is a “just enforce the law” kind of guy. He is extremely unlikely to be impressed by the political grandstanding.  Trump knows that the main stream media has zero intention of treating him fairly on any issue anyway.  So, he might just as well do the necessary. Those who follow self-absorbed, self-righteous, arrogant, incompetent clowns off the cliff to oblivion have, once again, earned special recognition.

One thought on “DARWIN AWARD, LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT – BONUS ROUND

  1. Well duh, the fact is most illegals are employed in the service sector, wherein choice is an implied absolute; if you’re stupid enough to close your business for a day, I can go elsewhere; I can also let the lawn go for a week, do a little painting myself – the impact is minimal. What’s more insidious though, is how these folks are consistently duped by the professional “activist” crowd, whose level of delusion as to their inflated sense of self and purpose is off the charts. Such nonsense will never amount to much at the end of the day, except for lots of burnt-out dumpsters, broken glass and stung-eyed, sore headed, black-clad morons.
