Does the word “plagiarism” mean nothing to you? Even when Joe Biden is not involved?

(I suppose I’ll be banned now. Nice knowing you.)

I hope you don’t mind if I point out that the letter is not exactly original.

What? Do you want a cookie? So what?

I hope you don't mind if I point out that the letter is not exactly original. Versions of it have been floating around the blogosphere for several months.

That is OUR President Bush sean & no he does not get the rubber stamp approval from conservatives that leftists always insinuate.

He is WRONG as are all the others who support this illegal immigrant amnesty program & WE WILL FIGHT HIM accordingly.

Buy another stamp. Send third copy to your President Bush. After all, he can veto the legislation, right?

It’s good to see you’re back. The letter, while a little tongue and cheek, does raise a legitimate point.

However, THIS patriot would never trade his US citizenship for anything, even a temporary basis to make a fast buck.

Did you have to push a neo-Nazi or Nativist or Know Nothing peer from the row? It seems there are too many bigots these days and not enough seats around here… just kidding.

Wow. From Matt’s opening sentence, any commentor “around here” who Matt doesn’t see eye-to-eye with on immigration, is “neo-Nazi”, “Nativist” and “Know Nothing” by definition. I didn’t know!

I love the added touch, of the ol’ “just kidding” dodge. Just kidding.

Oh, and for the bigots who claim the migrant workers are using our hospitals as free medical clinics?…

Let me make say this specifically: There exists some number of illegal immigrants, including some migrants, who get free medical care from our hospital emergency rooms.

Pretty uncontroversial, eh? Or it ought to be. I haven’t cast any good-bad aspect on it yet (or on any of them). But – I’m a “bigot” now, LOL!

As long as these seasonal migrant workers are legal residents, or are here legally during their time of employment, and have documentation supporting such, I have no problem with that.

Oh and you’ll get offers from MM, who’ll be fawning all over you, to come pick his cherries in New Fallujah. At least you won’t be a racist, xenophobic bastard anymore.

And maybe HardHobit will take pity on you and have you mow his yard for $2/hr. Hang out at the Home Depot for better offers.

You don’t even have to pay a fine and become a citizen. You’ll be legal once the bill is signed with all the rights and priveleges herein. All citizenship gets you is a certificate suitable for framing and it changes which box you select on job applications.
