At a time when heartland Euro-Amerikan George Bush voters are fuming against migrants crossing u.$. borders, USA Today has brought forward an important part of the big picture. The "Baby Boom" generation has started retiring. Huge Social Security and Medicare bills are coming due.
Who is going to pay these bills is the intelligent question that Amerikan heartland yahoos are not asking. The answer is not the migrants killed crossing the desert, not the migrants who die at the wall Congress wants to build and not the migrants the united $tates deports. The fact is the most rational bourgeois thing to do is to compete for workers and business people to move to the united $tates, become citizens, boost property values, expand the tax base and pay the tax bills.
USA Today put it this way without mentioning the migrant issue:
Taxpayers owe more than a half-million dollars per household for financial promises made by government, mostly to cover the cost of retirement benefits for baby boomers, a USA TODAY analysis shows. Federal, state and local governments have added nearly $10 trillion to taxpayer liabilities in the past two years, bringing the total of government's unfunded obligations to an unprecedented $57.8 trillion.That is the equivalent of a $510,678 credit card debt for every American household. Payments on this delinquent tax bill must start soon if financial promises to the elderly are to be kept.(1)
Euro-Amerikans are so chauvinist against Mexicans that polls show they'd rather suffer economically than let in more. USA Today unintentionally shows that is exactly what is going to happen.
Polling agency Zogby summed up the polling facts from April:
"A recent Zogby InterActive poll found 65% of adults nationwide willing to pay significantly higher prices for goods in exchange for tighter control over the southern border—even as 46% said they believed that the immigrants were, in many cases, taking jobs Americans are unwilling to take."(2)
That's called making racism a principle. Make sacrifices for proletarian struggle-- no these petty-bourgeois Euro-Amerikan's won't and can't. Make sacrifices of living standard to uphold stupid policies concerning citizenship and borders, yes, the whites will in a futile politically-kamikaze stand.
The typical Euro-Amerikan racist view built up with decades of imperialist propaganda mastered above all by Reagan and Clinton is that people on welfare are not white, that if Amerikkkans let in Mexicans, the Mexicans and other people of color add to the government's tax burden. This racist belief shared even by some coconuts internalizing racism (Brown on the outside, white on the inside) is just factually wrong--a white lie.
In actual fact, food stamps are a tiny portion of welfare (and necessary for support of children who become working-age people) and whites are the major beneficiaries of all government handouts, including six digit jobs driving trucks in Iraq, slightly lower-paying jobs sexually torturing and murdering people in Abu Ghraib and social security. The younger population paying taxes is increasingly descended or from the Third World while the people needing care are disproportionately white. That is going to be true for all of the foreseeable future, but dumb crackers who just finished making love to their sisters are crawling out of shacks all over the country to line up to march with the Minutemen. The Minutemen have just started building a barbed wire fence in Arizona to keep out the Mexicans, by volunteer efforts, including $380,000 in donations for fences.(4) These Minutemen should be deported for making it more difficult for the rest of us to put together a good economy. If they want to live without Social Security and Medicare, they can move somewhere else--cheap bastards. MIM intends to see to it that elderly are treated well.
The U.S. Government has of course collected all the statistics we need to know.
Here is the situation in California:
"In 2000, less than half (46.7 percent) of the total population of California was non-Hispanic White, and almost one-third (32.4 percent) was Hispanic. In contrast, among people aged 65 and over in California, the majority (70.0 percent) were non- Hispanic White, and 13.1 percent were Hispanic."(5)
Understand that whitey: 70% of seniors are whiteys in California, but only a minority of working-age people are whiteys. Better wise-up, whitey.
Considering all the nasty things Ronald Reagan and the like said about people taking hand-outs from the government, the migrants should move to the united $tates and cut all the whites' social security benefits. Lucky for the crackers, no one is more petty-bourgeois and petty in outlook than Amerikans, but Amerikans better wake up fast and get on board with MIM. The old imperialist way has no future.
The ethnic groups that have the highest portion of migrants are naturally the ones with the lowest proportion of burden on government handouts. Asian-descended people have the absolutely highest proportion of working-age people and the lowest percentage of children and seniors to support. So-called Hispanics have the lowest portion of senior citizens to support with a mere 8.7 per 100 working age "Hispanics." Whites are in the most need of social security support with 25.2 white seniors per 100 white working age people. The next closest is 14.3 among Blacks.(6)
Whites have the oldest median age, so they are on a suicide mission on this border business. Then again, we already knew that about their politics from their Iraq War, which only majorities of whites ever supported clearly.
Let's look at this another way. Reagan told cracker about one Black on welfare with a fancy Cadillac and he told the story in detail. MIM is not a cheap demagogue like Reagan or Patrick Buchanan. We tell the whole overall story on who is cheating whom, not just a story about one persyn.
As of 2005, only 61.9% of the u.$. employed people in the age 16 to 39 age groups are whites but nearly 83% (as of 2003 statistics) of the people over 65 are whites.(7) Yet these whites have the nerve to spread their racism and national chauvinism. Again, they've got to be suicidal and that's what it is: they are from a doomed class that is going to disappear with imperialism.
In the year 2030, when the 39 year-olds of now start looking toward retirement, whites will still be 72% of the over 65 age group inside u.$. borders.(8) So what MIM has just explained is that for the next generation, whites will be on the collective dole.
The best explanation for why all the super-irrational hype against creating more legal citizens is land. Amerikkkans never came to grips with their settler thirst for land and genocide against the indigenous peoples. Now even though there is no rational reason economically, Amerikkkans cling to their land and try to keep Third World people off it. This mentality combined with the retrograde mentality of prison guards, military contractors and oil companies sees the world as one where war is necessary to maintain the past. They don't care if granny suffers because they were too stupid to build solar panels instead of a worldwide prison system for the CIA.
The united $tates has made some of the smallest Medicare and Social Security promises to grandma in the industrialized world out of fear of "socialism" and "big government." Instead, these crackers pose at the border in their ethnic uniforms (translation: looking like sheriffs) and they think that guarding borders actually makes people better off. The Euro-Amerikan heartland prefers the "big government" of guarding the border to hiring people to take care of granny. That is petty and stupid. Listen up crackers: the 6000 jobs Bush just promised you to guard the border are hand-outs to make you feel better. Complain enough and the country club Republicans hand out a smaller version of the swag they enjoy themselves while playing golf. Those jobs do not make anyone better off, but that's all you'll get from complaining to the leaders of this system.
The best thing that could happen to Euro-Amerikans is a proletarian invasion followed by the joint dictatorship of the proletariat of the oppressed nations. No doubt many really reactionary crackers will have to have the shit beaten out of them, before they can think straight, but that will be a much less violent solution than what is going to happen when whitey figures out he spent his social security in Iraq and forgot to let in enough people to take care of granny. Whitey's wars and treatment of granny will be much worse oppression than the joint dictatorship of the proletariat of the oppressed nations.

7. Unfortunately the Bureau of Labor Statistics is apt to count Latinos as "whites,"
so the following alternative calculation has to be done. In the 16 to 39
age group, there are 11.6 million employed "Hispanics" employed, 14.5 million employed
Blacks and Asians and the rest of 68.5 million aged 16 to 39 workers in 2005 were
white. That means that whites were 61.9% of the 16 to 39 age workers.
