Conservative website Human Events posted a "parody" of the Christmas song "Feliz Navidad," that features offensive lyrics about undocumented immigrants like "they're getting free organ transplants this Christmas" and "they're going to spread bubonic plague this Christmas."
As Wonk Room reported, Human Events posted a clip from Talk Radio Network's Matt Fox and AJ Rice's radio show, called "The Fox and Rice Experience." The clip, called "The Illegal Alien Christmas Song," is what Fox and Rice refer to as a "parody" version of the popular Christmas tune "Feliz Navidad."
A sampling of the newer, more offensive version:
Illegals in my yard, Illegals in my yard, Illegals in my yard, Throw them some pesos and they work so hard.Illegals in my yard,
Illegals in my yard,
Illegals in my yard,
I don't even ask if they got Green Card.They're gonna pave up my driveway this Christmas,
They're gonna clean all my cars this Christmas,
They're gonna shovel all the snow this Christmas,
Those illegals in my yard.
A later verse is even worse:
"They're going to spread bubonic plague this Christmas.
They're going to bring me lots of bed bugs this Christmas.
They're going to pass tuberculosis this Christmas.
Those illegals in my yard."
Here's the full audio, if you can stomach it:

I just knew the election of Obama would once and for all remove the xenophobic racist mask straight of the face of the conservative movement. They don't try to hide it anymore, they don't try to be sly about it. They hate anyone non-white, non-WASP and by gods they will go to their graves cursing "Why don't them speak English anymore?"
So much for fulfilling Karl Rove's dream of permanently wooing the Hispanic demographic to the GOP. They've lost them forever.
And I am always amused at the feeble, laughably bad attempts at being creative or humorous from the right wing. They just are 100% incapable of being funny.

Kinda funny how in their attempt to belittle these workers they unwittingly acknowledge that they do all kinds of jobs Whitey simply won't stoop to do.

No kidding; the first verse is condescending but admits that they're hard workers, while the narrator is a greedy, lazy slob.

Silence thinks we have a deep seeded hatred of white people. He's not saying we don't like White people. Putz.

You know and I know that if Mary and Joseph had come north to find a manger the Republicans would have deported them.

Since "illegal aliens" do so much of the work that most Americans don't want to do, why not issue work passes for them
to be fully able to do it? These people's work ethic is excellent; this would assist our economy and give them and everyone else a degree of protection and well-being.

I don't see what the big deal is. It's meant to just be funny, and it is. You don't like it - don't listen to it. Writing this song doesn't make somebody racist. They're not being politically correct and thank goodness.
