Pristine areas? Has anyone told Michael Chertoff how ugly Texas is?
In a blatantly racist and ridiculously dense fashion, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said today that building a border fence across the southern United States is better for the environment than Mexicans who discard beer bottles and defecate outside.
He actually said this. He actually said, "Illegal migrants really degrade the environment. I've seen pictures of human waste, garbage, discarded bottles and other human artifact in pristine areas…And believe me, that is the worst thing you can do to the environment.” Ummmmm, what the deuce?!
Might I remind our congenial Homeland Security Secretary that the process of building 370 miles of border fence and 200 miles of vehicle barriers doesn’t run on fairy dust and angel wings and all that lovely nonsense? Cars and building thingamajigs pour tons of, you know, polluting stuff into the air. Global warming is a fact, people. Stephen Colbert knows this; the “market has spoken.”
Might I also remind Mr. Chertoff that poop is an excellent fertilizer? Maybe the reason the Southwest is so dry and lifeless is that not enough people are shitting outside.
Oh yes, and something about how Chertoff saying illegal immigrants are bad for the environment only perpetuates the stereotype that Mexicans are dirty and this has immense social repercussions and those crazy bastards who patrol the border on their own, without government sanction, are going to have a freakin’ field day.
Meh.

I was in Yosemite National Park this last weekend and it struck me that if only they'd cut down all the trees, they wouldn't have such a pollen problem. I think I'll be contacting the Sierra Club with this proposal.
that was an absolutely ridiculous thing for a US official to say...
exemplification, anyone? :)
what a jerk.

mexicans are dirty, well at least most of them, and this is comming from a person that has about 80% of his family in mexico, and the other 20 are people who migrated LEGALLY into america. its basically a third world country thats having trouble developing, it would be surprising if its people are not dirty, to our standards at least.
