Tucker Carlson's Excellent Adventure

Dear Dingo:
Faux News host, Tucker Carlson, recently made headlines by 'telling the truth' about immigrants arriving in the USA. He stated they will make our country dirtier and poorer. As an example, he cites Immigrants soiling the Arizona desert during their perilous journey across the border. Then he blames the 'left" for screaming 'racist' when he says this sort of thing. How can he be so blind to this obvious racism? 

Answer:
Because apparently poor Mr. Tucker doesn't get out much. I believe Faux News encourages their employees to live in gilded cages, surrounded by their own kind--mostly angry, privileged and portly white men. 

 May I first suggest Mr. Tucker spend a few days wondering and camping the hot Arizona desert on foot with a family in tow. Apparently he would be able to use his "white vision" allowing access to all the hidden recycling receptacles and toilets among the cacti.

Secondly, he could embark on a glorious journey of whiteness--starting up North in the Mat-Su Valley of Alaska. May I suggest touring the back roads of Meadow Lakes or Wasilla? Clean is not the word that comes to mind, yet no immigrants to be seen....

Third, he should drive the roads through American Appalachian country or the deep South. There he can play the whimsical counting game: "99 deceased dogs on the road, 99 deceased dogs..." 

Lastly, wrap it up with a tour of the Seattle or San Francisco homeless camps. Thousands of tents, trash and white (yes, white!) people living on the street. And (gasp!) mostly due to Reagan's Mental Health System Act of 1980 and Republicans refusal to fund housing for the poor-- ironically their least racist policy--as to them all poor people equally suck.
