Rhino Swims The Rio Grande

Sometimes in the realm of politics we are too close to the fire to feel the flame, and at other times although able to hear the cracklin acklin of the campfire we are too far away to welcome the warmth.

Take for instance the issue of immigration. I am born of immigrant parentage, was raised for the early years of my life in el barrio of LA (wats appenin ese), and today Id estimate that my daily business puts me in contact with a handful of "illegals" ordering takeout, massages, shoe shines, dry cleaning delivery, etcetera etc. These people bring value to me and increase my comfort of living.

That being said, I am still anti-immigration, legal or otherwise. Obviously the illegal invasion must be halted, and until the national unemployment rate is at 0% it is mathematically unnecessary for our country to import cheap labor and should only allow the bare minimum of skilled legal immigrants. It may benefit corp America, but that isnt always if ever the same as benefiting Americans.

Which brings me to the point of this post. It seems our esteemed colleague, Rhino was deported early this morn back to Mexico. Now I cant say for certain that he is Mexican, as his clever ruze of changing all the Z's in his name to S's in an effort to convey that euro trash vibe has befuddled us all. As he is so fond of saying himself "He's just a white guy from LI". Then show us your green card, traitor!

How has this affected The Aurora's position on immigration you ask. Not uno iota. In fact we implore this administration to build that border wall asap, enough of this bullshite lip service you continue to pay American citizens truly concerned with national security and the socio-economic ramifications of the illegal invasion on our southern border, and for that matter I call for the immediate revoking of all Canadian comedians visas as well. Its time to get tough and close our borders, preferably before Rhino finishes his vacation next week.

Vaya con diaz Rinoceronte.

Ignoring the obvious (but probably intentional) speeeling errors, I am warmly reminded of my favorite Gene Autry lyrics (covered by such 50's luminaries as Perry Como, Jerry Vale and probably (but I'm not sure) Tony Bennett:

Vaya Con Dios

Now the hacienda's dark,
The town is sleeping.
Now the time has come to part,
The time for weeping.
Vaya Con Dios, my darling.
May God be with you my love.
Now the village mission bells,
Are softly ringing.
If you listen with your heart,
You'll hear them singing.
Vaya Con Dios, my darling.
May God be with you my love.
Wherever you may be,
I'll be beside you.
Although,
You're many million dreams away.
Each night I'll say a pray'r,
A pray'r to guide you.
To hasten ev'ry lonely hour,
Of ev'ry lonely day.
Now the dawn is breaking through,
A gray tomorrow,
But the memories we share,
Are there to borrow.
Vaya Con Dios, my darling.
May God be with you my love.

Sweet Rhinoculous ... I, for one, eagerly await your return from South of the Border (that is, if the Donkeyhue and his anti-Mexican posse let you back in to the American that you so dearly love, and so dearly loves YOU).

A Mexican vacationing in Mexico.........Hilarious!!!

Hilarious will be when he checks into the resort and they hand him a lawnmower.

anita said...

americans vacation in america all the time, what's the big deal?

anita said...

in fact, many americans vacation ONLY in america because they think they've got nothing to learn from visiting other countries.

i believe, and correct me if i'm wrong, that's called 'ethnocentrism' ...

Warlike said...

Ok Anita......point taken. But Rhino in Mexico is just funny to ME.

anita said...

no problemo, warlike. i guess i was just being a little over-protective of the rhinocerous.

Lily said...

Ethnocentrism? I thought it was Redneckism.

You're gushing a bit over Rhino, Anita. Something we don't know?

Once again I correctly came when Warlike was afoot...

anita said...

hmmm, well yes, redneckism, too. but i was trying to sound 'intellectual' ...

and, yes, i too suddenly realized that i've been gushing over the rhinoculous ... i don't know why that is. some kind of subconscious need to protect large lumbering bald creatures.

*must stop being so nice to the rhinoculous, be more like the gadfly and 'pity the fool'*

anita said...

oh, and i think i meant to say ... "be more like Mr. T, and Pity the Fool."

Mookie McFly said...

I think you are giving Rhino flat out too much credit. I thought he was a Dominican!

Lily said...

Anita are you shunning us too like Donkeyhue? :)

Rhino grows on people over time. Like New Jersey. Offensive at the onset, but once you get past the GWB and get farther on route 80...its ok.

Don't bother with ointment again Donsky...it doesn't work. Just watch...when you get bumped into a higher tax bracket, you'll move back to NJ and into a nice neighborhood.
