Cows

[Joanne Vergin]

I live on a dairy farm so this struck a cord.

COWS

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington and they tracked her calves to their stalls? But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country.
Maybe we should give them all a cow.

The very same happens in other countries too.

In the past several times cows entered roads and the Autobahn in Niedersachsen and Schleswig - Holstein and the police pulled out all registers the organ has had, including search dogs and helicopters. But cars (especially Volvo 700er class, BMW, Mercedes, Audi) are stolen to hundreds and do disappear in Poland, Ukraine and Russia.

I saw a TV - report about the border between Finland and Russia "past and presence". The interviewed finish border troops officer told, they could never control effectively, because they do not have enaugh men, on one man came 50 km, ~32 or 33 miles length of border line.

I few weeks ago the government rounded up hundreds of illegal aliens from meat packing plants here in Iowa and sent them back to Mexico. I'm sure most of them are back to work by now.

JoelThis also happens in Germany. The problem is not a missed job in their home country, the problem is missed education in their home country.

... unless the snow slowed them down. ;)

[the smiley's because I have mixed feelings about such things; having seen some of how many live there, I can't really blame them.]

I don't mind them coming here if they do it legally and behave themselves. After all, my ancestors came here from another country too but they got a job and became law abiding citizens. They didn't come looking for a handout. The town where my folks live is one of the towns they rounded up a lot of the illegals from. Nobody wanted most of the jobs they were doing. That was not an issue. The crime rate was the biggest issue. We aren't used to having a lot of Mexicans here like the southern states. Almost nobody speaks Spanish here. There is a lot of resentment because we are expected to adapt to them and our tax dollars pay for their welfare and they won't even learn our language.

Dear Joel,

I do not mean you, I do mean your neighbourhood, the people you did talk about, OK?

Germany gets much more immigrants than the USA "per head of population" (I think, three times more, but could error) and they do cost our public social cashes just 0.2 percents of yearly etat. It is not correct to say, "They will eat our taxes" - watching how much money is wasted every year for never needed luxury projects.
And
"They will not learn a language" or "They can not learn a language because a school is missed for illegal season workers"?
If I were a bad educated, poor mexican man, I also would try to come inside the phantastic and glorified shining rich US - El Dorado,
legal or illegal
to get a little piece of the big cake - a handfull of earned dollars,


earned on an honourable way - through real hard hand work
under the permanently risk to be locked in



(and not by crime or by easy done wealth paper trade).

I love that 12 aged girl, Kate Maberly does play in "Friendship's Field", she is a very nice young Lady today.
