McCarthyWatch: Florida Hispanic Reps. outraged about inoffensive joke about illegal aliens
Posted Fri, Apr 13, 2007 at 1:12 pm · short link
State Representative Don Brown sent an email to colleagues with the following joke:

"Don't forget to pay your taxes -- 12-million illegal aliens are depending on you!"Now, his illegal immigration-supporting racial demagogue colleagues are outraged:
The Florida Hispanic Legislative Caucus issued a statement saying it "took serious offense."Unfortunately, Brown has apologized instead of doing what he should have done: politely tell them to stick it.
"It was wrong. It was offensive," said House Speaker Marco Rubio, R-Miami, the son of Cuban immigrants.
Rep. Rene Garcia, R-Hialeah, said the Brown e-mail showed "an ignorance as to the founding of both this state and our country. It deeply saddens me that this mentality still exists in what we consider to be a forward-looking government."
Rep. Juan-Carlos Planas, R-Miami, said Brown's remark was "not just racist on its face, but it's not true... It's that type of mentality that is prohibiting passage of a reasonable compromise immigration bill in Washington... As long as that festers, we're losing what the American spirit was all about."

With 12 million illegal aliens, most living below the poverty level and thus good candidates for total refunds of their taxes, someone has to make up for the fact that the don't actually contribute to our tax base, and that's you and me. If these Hispanic politicians don't like the facts of life then they can just go pound sand.

This story is absurd. The Florida represenatative was only telling the truth. A few days ago the LA County officials admitted that LA County transfers 430 million dollars a year to illegals through food stamps, WIC vouchers, housing subsidies etc. for their anchor brats. That is nearly one-half billion dollars per year that taxpayers in LA county must fork over because of illegals. I just got my taxes back from the accountant and we owe 3 grand to the state and local "governments." I didn't look at how much we paid in California state taxes but I'm pretty sure my husband and I pay about 5 grand apiece to the "government" in Sacramento (not including property taxes a whole other ball of wax). That covers "free" anchor baby maternity fees for two breeders a year. I am s-o-o-o- happy to fork out for that "free" maternity care, let me tell you. . .

Muslims and illegals are perpetually outraged. Moreso when the truth is told. It is just meaningless noise, pay it no mind. Never acknowledge their complaint, and NEVER apologize, as it is the burden of the criminal to make apology to their victim, not the other way around. Outraged racists like Garcia and Planas are the ones who are truly ignorant about the founding of this nation. The apology is owed by them to Dan Brown, for their support of illegal behavior. Rep. Brown should have held fast and never apologized, as he only told the truth.
