Ohhh! THOSE Illegal Aliens!

Everybody’s in a hubbub over whether the president is imprudently granting amnesty to the estimated 8 million illegal aliens thought to be in the United States. But they’re focusing on the wrong illegal aliens.

Why would we suddenly look the other way at mostly Mexican law-breakers and let them stay here as “guest workers”? They could come out of hiding and continue taking those minimum-wage jobs formerly taken by American citizens who are teenagers, college students, moms who want to work part-time, and so forth.

What’s behind all this? To perceive what’s going on, you have to read the REST of the paper. You know that big scientific probe to Mars that’s going on right now? Costing us skillions and wad-dillions of dollars – sucking that money right out of our economy and sending it, not to the moon, but all the way to Mars?

Well, think about it. If there ARE men on Mars, there must be a LOT of them. It’s a pretty big planet.

Then, with our new amnesty for illegal aliens, THEY can come freely through our borders and take jobs away from American citizens. It wouldn’t be that big of an adjustment for our employers. Many of the new high school grads ACT like they come from Mars.

Anyway, then our president could not only get reelection campaign contributions aplenty from Big Food, but he could get the Latino vote . . . PLUS the Martian vote!

Prayer request: Lord, there’s someone in a job-search situation today who is pretty upset. He feels like he’s wrestling constantly with unanswerable questions. He doesn’t know whether two recent job turn-downs are a rebuke to his lack of credentials, or Your leading. He thinks it may be time to change career fields or perhaps start a business, but he has built up a lot of expertise in his career field, and the turn-downs may simply be routine. Besides, he needs money for his family. Father, draw this man closer to Your heart so that he will understand Your plan and purpose for him. Empower him to move forward with confidence and vigor to a fulfilling, high-paying position. (Luke 22:31,32)
