Isn't 'la migra' the colloquism for the Border Patrol?

made you look

Ja Ja!

It was more than just funny. It was literally brilliant. The way it was put together and the masterful way they pulled off each point was second to none to any other satirical flash video I've ever seen.

That was truly enjoyable and refreshing and I thank you for posting it. It was extremely impressive, impactful, on point, and yet humorous all at the same time.

Literally, fucking brilliant! :applause:

The Mexican music in the background; the historical context; the way the character's panic remains the same throughout history while only his clothes and the immigrant groups change; the "have you developed a fondness for long form and endless government bureacracy?" part; and "funcuffs."

So brilliant I even e-mailed the artist to let him know it was the funniest video I had even seen.

So brilliant, I am using it as my sig.

Good one, VirtualChicano! Thanks for finding that and posting it here!

there are 4 million children, American born, who will instantly become felons for helping their parents if sensenbrenner's hh4437 passes.

Americans are too good for this.

But I've seen two previous threads with this same video, including one I posted, end up with only two recommendations.

I post it and it gets two responses and one or two recommendations. Same with you. Next thing you know, this thread gets a huge response like nobody's seen it before. What gives? :shrug:

If it weren't for a select few, this thread would also have died. That video just makes too many DUers uncomfortable.

And I'm glad the video makes people uncomfortable. :evilgrin:

but I agree, it's very puzzling why the interest is weak and the recommendations are sparing. Tho, after witnessing that poll which RagingInMiami conducted this week, I'm not surprised.

Bush's approval ratings over the last few months.

as the same exact tactic that has always been used against so many minorities in this country. Difficult for some, that is, since recognizing themselves as tools might be a pretty hard thing to swallow. Pitting working people against one another is the oldest trick in the book.

is the oldest trick in the book."


The old "divide and conquer" trick. It's very effective, which is why the neocons just love to use it.

Up where I live, we already are quite aware of who all the asshats are, so the responses from those types are typical, but as the kids in the schools have taken up the banner, the support is growing and parents are "getting the lesson" from their own children, and coming out to watch each march and even join in. We're having an agricultural festival this month, so there are lots of parades happening anyway, but for the first time, the farmworkers here have become a viable presence within that celebration...the march two weeks ago only had about 200 but last week's was more than 400. It's having quite a positive effect on our community.

Kicked.
