Me N Pablo



Bold Text
AS some of you might know or maybe figured out I am fairly conservative and a strong believer that we need to control our borders. I am not against immigrants - just the ones that don’t follow the rules to get here. But sometimes it do get personal.
Every Monday I go to the laundry mat. Well a few months ago a young Hispanic woman and her son came into the laundry mat. As she was starting her laundry her boy came over stood in front of me and just stared. I said hi-he just stared. Mom came over and got him. Well 2 minutes later he was back. 3 minutes so was Mom. I told her he was ok and not a bother.
Well Paco sat down between my legs with his sucker and a book and was a happy lil camper, looked at his book, never moved except to watch me as I did my laundry.
This became to be a habit-every Monday they would come in and Pablo (I learned his real name about week 3) would camp out at my feet not to be moved, Mom just gave up.
One Monday they came in with a older woman. When Pablo came to see me Grandma came to get him and he began to scream-Mom came running and explained to Grandma what was going on. Pablo was returned and all was well.
When I got my clothes from the dryer and began to fold them Grandma shook her head, came over pushed me away and folded my clothes for me.
I haven’t seen Pablo for a few Mondays-sure hope he and his family are well.

Sadly, these illegal immigrants all have a story. Nonetheless, they are flooding our country and somehow they have to be stopped.

I ran a day care in my home for years. Started out thinking I could made a difference in these young lives most of who's parents only worked for that big house with the pool, a cottage at the lake, a deluxe motor home plus a third car and a boat for the motor home to tow. I couldn't understand why they even bothered to have kids.

I probably would have accidently stepped on him. I don't care if they are legal or not; I don't like children.

Marg! And you a grandmother! I can't believe you are saying that.

well,well,well,is this the famous grumpy that has been idle for a while?
How are you?what have you been doing there?we missed you.
That is weird about the kid,maybe he was looking for an father image?
Maybe you can get some information on where do they live?Inquire.
He seemed to have hit it off with you.Good luck.Nice to see you.

T think that Pablo and his family were not legal-While I want only legal immigration-I understand and even admire the bravery it takes to cross that river. I wish them well and I miss my little fat brown friend.
