A Nation Without Borders

Don't you just love it - I mean the diverse population of our country? Where else in the world can you go and sample German cuisine, or Greek, or Lithuanian cuisine without going overseas? Heck, just stumble along the main drag in the windy city of Chicago, or amble down the Avenue of the Americas in Los Angeles and you will find the cuisine you are looking for. This is America! There is no place like it in the world.

But anymore, America as we have known it for some time, is being erased from the very maps that used to highlight it. There is talk about combining Mexico, the US and Canada into one great big nation with common perimeters, common security interests and common prosperity interests. We are going to be called the United Nations of North America or UNNA. We will be connected by an international freeway and for money we will spend Ameros.

I've always dreamed of having a vacation home in the plateaus of Guadalajara, high up there in the clouds, overlooking the city of Mexico. There I can use my small savings to hire me a maid, a gardener, a cook, a masseuse, even a chauffer. I can raise my own fighting cocks and engage in the grand Spanish pastime of cockfighting, eat tacos and burritos, drink tequila and ask the local mariachi band to serenade me to sleep each evening. In my yard I will grow my own mangoes and papayas and have the local help pick the fruit when harvest time comes. And I don't have to mess with ICE fat cats because there will be no illegal aliens in my employ.

Of course I will have to learn to speak Spanish - perhaps even un poco - so that I can mosey on down to Rosa's cantina and have a good conversation. Maybe this idea of open borders and the unabated incursion of illegal aliens into the United States is good. Just think. Now I am learning to "press 2 for Espanish" and the art of how to holler, "Si se puede" like Ted "Chappaquiddick" Kennedy loves to do out in front of the assembled illegal alien throng - in between sips of his gin and tonic. What a deal...
