As
you probably know, Bush has a racist and xenophobic fence around his
ranch to try to keep me and people like me out, but I was able to sneak
in. It was tough. There was a patch of desert I had to get through,
but some people left water and food there so I could make the trip in
safety. Now that I'm on the Bush ranch, it's like having sanctuary.
When you're in, you're in. A couple of years ago, I brought my family
and my cousins to the ranch also. Most days I hang out by Bush's barn
and wait for day labor work. Of course, even if Mr. Bush does give me
some occasional jobs, I don't make enough money to support myself and
my family. Even if I did, I wouldn't use it here. I send most of it
back home to my extended family so they can pay some Coyotes and also
come here. |

I
make ends meet by using the charities that Mr. Bush has opened on the
ranch to give me free food, free clothes, free medical and dental care
(Oh, did I forget to mention that Mr. Bush pays me under the table and
doesn't pay any medical insurance for me and my family?). My kids also
go to the free schools on the ranch. Since it wasn't fair that my kids
didn't have good food to eat, the schools give them free breakfasts
and lunches. But what about after school? I still have to loiter looking
for work so I can buy beer and louder boom boxes. So who will watch
my kids? No problemo. This is, after all, the Bush ranch. Bush has plenty
of everything, and it's only fair that he share it with me. To help
me out, the schools on the Bush ranch started free after school programs
to watch my kids until I finish loitering each day. 
My
wife is pregnant again, but I know that Mr. Bush will supply free prenatal
care to her and that he'll pay for the delivery. It's the fair thing
to do. Our baby will be a Bush ranch citizen because he or she will
be born on the ranch. This will give us some security. In case Mr. Bush
ever tries to kick us off the ranch he won't be able to send our ranch
citizen baby away and, he'll want us to stay to take care of the baby.
Citizenship is wonderful. 
Unfortunately,
some members of Bush's family aren't very culturally sensitive and I've
been hearing racist complaints about our music--they say it's too loud--and
they even claim that my kids have started a gang and are doing drive
by shootings on the ranch. It's not my kids. It's some other kids. They
also don't like the graffiti on the barns and fences and they've been
complaining about the discarded diapers. We don't like those racial
stereotypes, and we don't know how they got started. Of course, on another
level, we don't really care what the Gringos like or don't like. This
is our land. We're here and we're not leaving. We're asking Mr. Bush
for amnesty now. After all, we're here and it's only fair that we not
be thought of as being here illegally. How can human beings be illegal?
We don't believe in fences to separate people. |

Well,
my family and I and the rest of our village have now been on the Bush
ranch for several years, and we were doing okay up until recently. Then,
Mr. Bush and his family suddenly moved away. Now things aren't working
so well and this place is getting like our old place that we left to
come here. It's now just like Mexico. Everything's getting shabby. Crime
is high. The ranch is now mired in poverty. Mr. Bush didn't leave any
forwarding address, but as soon as we find where he's gone, we'll emigrate
there. It just isn't fair that we have to live in the kind of conditions
we have here.
