A beautiful fairy appeared one day to a destitute Mexican refugee
outside an Arizona immigration office.
"Good man," the fairy said, "I've been sent here by President Obama
and told to grant you three wishes, since you just arrived in the United
States with your wife and eight
children."
The man told the fairy, "Well, where I come from we don't have good
teeth, so I want new teeth, maybe a lot of gold in
them."
The fairy looked at the man's almost toothless grin and -- PING !--
he had a brand new shining set of gold teeth in his
mouth!
"What else?" asked the fairy, "Two more to go."
The refugee claimant now got bolder. "I need a big house with a
three-car garage in Annapolis on the water with eight bedrooms for my
family
and the rest of my relatives who still live in my country. I
want to bring them all over here" --- and -- PING !-- in the distance there
could be seen a beautiful mansion with a three-car garage, a long driveway,
and a walkout patio with a BBQ in an upscale neighborhood overlooking the
bay.
"One more wish," said the fairy, waving her wand.
"Yes, one more wish. I want to be like an American with American
clothes instead of these torn clothes, and a baseball cap instead of this
sombrero. And I want to have white skin like Americans ---and --- PING !
The man was transformed - wearing worn-out jeans, a Baltimore Orioles
T-shirt,
and a baseball cap. He had his bad teeth back and the mansion had
disappeared
from the horizon.
"What happened to my new teeth?" he wailed. "Where is my new house?
THIS IS GOOD . . . . . . . .
NO, ACTUALLY THIS IS VERY GOOD .
The fairy said:
"Tough shit, Amigo, now that you are a white American, you have to
fend for yourself."
