If Texas Were In Mexico

The post I've been meaning to write, only better:

Maybe you have to be Hispanic to figure out this kind of logic: You've broken the law and risked your life to get the hell out of the land of your birth, but when the country you've sneaked into considers sending you back home, you rush into the streets in protest -- GET THIS! -- proudly carrying the flag of the country you'd rather die than live in. Some of you even carry signs suggesting that the poor failed country you've escaped from should possess the land you've fled to.

Really. I don't mean to be rude, but let's face it. Most Mexicans aren't coming here to reclaim their birthright. They're coming for jobs. If Texas was in Mexico, Mexicans would be escaping to Oklahoma. If Oklahoma was in Mexico, they'd be escaping to Kansas. If Kansas were in Mexico....

Reminds me of the refugees from Islamic theocracies who say America would be the perfect country...if only it were an Islamic theocracy. Ay carramba.
