A Letter of Thanks to President Bush - The Best President Mexico Ever Had!

Dear El Presidente Bush:

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all of the wonderful things that you have done for the people of this country. You have done more than I could have ever imagined that you would do when you first came to power.

First, I would like to thank you for coming to the defense of the Mexican national, Jose Ernesto Medellin, who was on death row for the rape and murder of two young Texas teenagers. The "World Court" said that his rights were violated because he was not told he could contact the Mexican Consulate, and you stepped in and came to his defense and informed the State of Texas that yes, they would have to reconsider his case. Why did you not come to the defense of the one American who was involved in this crime? That man, an African-American, has already been executed. If I remember this case correctly, Medellin and his buddies raped the 14-year old and 16-year old for over an hour. Did you know, El Presidente, that they bashed out the front teeth of one of the girls so that it would feel better for them when they made the girl perform oral sex on them? That they laughed and pointed and said something to the effect of, "This b_____ won't die!" when choking her with a belt didn't work? (Would you have been so forgiving if Jenna Anheiser-Bush had been the victim?) I'm sure that the girls who were the victims of those animals would love to thank you for your efforts, also. If they were here. But they are not.

My daughter's friend would like to thank you, also. She was a school teacher in an elementary school in our area. A couple of years ago, she and a handful of teachers who were not bilingual were told that they would not be returning the following year. They were replaced with Spanish-speaking teachers. Why? Some schools in Texas have a wonderful "pilot" program where English-speaking and Spanish-only-speaking children are put in the same class. Half a day's instruction is given in English, then those lessons are repeated the second half of the day in Spanish. We are told that it will be wonderful that all of our children will be bilingual. I am so grateful for that. Of course, they may not have much time to learn math or science, but who needs that?

I'd also like to thank you for your wonderful border policies. The arrest and imprisonment of Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean for just doing their job sent the message loud and clear to Border Patrol Agents everywhere: Don't do your job too well (wink, wink; nod, nod). Your policies have also emboldened the Mexican drug cartel. Did you know that a huge marijuana field was found not far from an FBI/DEA training facility in Dallas? Did you know that there were at least four other marijuana patches (some with thousands of plants) found in the Dallas area (including a local recreational lake)? Authorities have concluded the Mexican drug cartel is responsible. Thank you for making them feel so comfortable here!

I'd also like to thank you for your inconsistency in dealing with the United Nations. You told them where to go when they didn't go along with your plan to invade Iraq. But now, our Senate is looking at ratifying the "Law of the Sea" treaty (L.O.S.T.). This would give the UN control over the earth's seas (as well as the air above it and all mining rights), with the power to levy taxes and fees on all vessels from all countries. Just what I love: if national taxes aren't enough, let's have international taxes. Thank you!

Thanks for the lead in our toys that are produced in China. Thanks for the tainted dog food from China. Thanks for the fact that only 1% of food that is imported into our country is actually inspected. The USDA/FDA has done a great job under your administration! That makes me feel so safe, especially considering that the pharmaceutical industry has admitted that about 50% of the ingredients that are used in manufacturing our drugs now come from: CHINA!

Although I agree that families who make $86,000 should not be eligible for SCHIPS (your main objection to increasing the funding), if we would quit giving benefits of all types to people who are here illegally, we might have enough to pay for it. It beats not having it at all, for those who truly need it. If the Immigration Reform Bill that you wanted had passed (Senate Bill 1639), Section 413(c)(4) said that the US would be "helping the Government of Mexico to establish a program with the private sector to cover the health care needs of Mexican nationals temporarily employed in the United States." So, we can help provide health care for citizens of other countries, but not our own? Section 413 of that same bill says that under the Security and Prosperity Partnership, we would also strengthen educational and training opportunities in Mexico. There's a whole list of things we would have done there in this bill. We can't rebuild New Orleans, but we can help build Mexico and Iraq. Maybe the $3 million that we just sent to Mexico to help them expand their wiretapping program could help pay for SCHIPS, too.

Thanks!

I guess the greatest thing that I have to thank you for is turning me from being a Republican to an Independent. Muchas gracias!
