Memo to Seth Rogan and Janeane Garofalo

It seems during a Q&A with some grade school children while promoting the Disney Pixar movie Monsters v. Aliens, Seth Rogan, who plays the voice of the one of the characters, was asked by a child which he would rather be, a monster or alien? He responded by saying something along the lines of "I'd rather be a monster because this country doesn't treat aliens very well". Really?!? That would explain why every imaginable nation's citizens are risking life and limb to get here right? Oh and thanks for not being garish and politicking to a 5 year old.

Many hard working people follow the existing laws and processes of becoming a United States citizen legally. Something for which they can be proud. They have to learn about our form of government, US history, the Constitution etc. These law abiding people are rewarded with a very moving swearing in ceremony to reward her for their going through the process the lawful and legal way.

Meanwhile illegal aliens from drug cartels in Mexico are running through our borders kidnapping women and children in Texas and Arizona to such an extent, local law enforcement is increasingly unable to keep up. Juarez, just south of the US Mexico border, is a war zone. Gee Seth, I guess the US owes you an apology for attempting to control emigration. I know it must be tempting to use your fame as a pulpit to vomit your opinions to uninterested parties everywhere, but please just say your lines and hit your marks on set and leave it at that!! You have less than no clue about the real world economic impact of the fairy tale ideology you espouse.

As for Janeane Garofalo, she may be the only person on the cast of 24 that doesn't require a script. She was born to be the one admonishing all the other agents about civil liberties while they try to save the country from an imminent pandemic. Mr. Rogan, while you and Janeane are collectively trashing the notion of border security and labelling anyone concerned enough about taxes to protest peacefully in the recent tea party as racists , the rest of us will keep trying to eek out a living under the escalating tax burden, among other things, to insure the millions of illegal aliens that we allegedly treat so poorly. Have I got it right Seth? Stay close to Judd Apatow, and far away from the open microphone.
