If You Really Loved Me You'd Let Me Eat Your Brain

Pelting helicopters with rocks?  That's so Palestinan of them!

This is irrefutable evidence of Mexican-Hezbollah ties.  We invade at dawn.

I tried posting a comment in reply to the 3XHAR's comment but BlogSpirit treated me very, very badly, and it hurt my self esteem very much, so I had to have a time out, hug my Gender-Neutral "Happy With My Body The Way It Is" Bear, and then come back to write a new post.

Here are some of the funnier examples:

ACLU IRP director opposes letting law enforcement detain immigrants when they're merely suspected of being in violation of a law or a threat to national security. Can't detain 'em without evidence.

ACLU opposes a law that'd increase information-sharing between federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, information like, say, immigration status. This is a great companion to the one above.

"Expand and enforce the civil rights of and civil liberties of non-citizens." Roll back the "punitive, discriminatory and, at minimum, constitutionally flawed legislation that targeted the civil liberties and civil rights of newcomers." Their words, not mine.

ACLU opposes more secure ID cards that could be used to prove that you're not an illegal alien. The play the Big Brother card on this one, and I don't buy it.

Urging support of NM Senate Bill 103, "a bill that would require state and local law enforcement agencies to refrain from using their resources to detect or apprehend people whose only offense is that they are suspected of residing in the United States in violation of federal civil immigration laws."

Immigrants don't need to comply with regulations requiring them to register, even after going to a hearing, being told to register, given a few extra months, missing the deadline again...and even when this happens, they damn well deserve a lawyer at taxpayer expense and should fight extradition.

Opposing the shocking, illegal, and Nazi-like 9/11 Commission recommendations that all people entering the U.S. carry (wait for it) valid passports. The outrage! Again, the ACLU Parrot complains about nation IDs, government surveillance, erosion of imaginary rights...wrraaack.

The ACLU's position seems clear to me: Open the borders to everyone who isn’t carrying a weapon. Well, unless the have the proper paperwork for it. Let them in first, ask questions later.

So it looks like the soulless boy that raped an 8-year-old girl and left her for dead in a landfill was in the U.S. illegally.

Imagine that.

The child rapist and attempted murderer came to the U.S. from the Bahamas on a visitor's visa in 2003. Like so many others, he stayed longer than his short-term limit.

He was arrested three times for burglary in 2004, but apparently the juvenile justice system in Florida doesn't communicate with the immigration authorities. I can think of a way to fix that, and I'll write the software myself for $1 if it'll keep illegal aliens and criminals out of my country.

One very, very simple way to catch and deport a lot of illegal aliens is to print their visa expiration date on any paperwork or forms of identification they possess or come into possession of while our soverign nation extends them the permission to reside inside our borders. Pulled over for a traffic violation? Visa expired? You'd better have a suitcase packed and in the trunk, because you're going home.

Maybe by gathering more information on who is coming into our country and actually doing something when we come in contact with a guest who has overstayed their visit we could prevent despicable crimes like what a little 8-year-old girl had to endure in Florida.

The Minuteman Project plans on patrolling a 40-mile stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona this April. Read more about it here.

The libertarian in me likes the idea of people guarding their property but I'd rather have a sensible immigration policy that makes illegal border crossings unnecessary. A guest worker program that allows for free travel to and from Mexico would eliminate the need for all the sneaking out and back in. Documenting the workers helps us keep track of who is coming and going. Maybe we'll even stop a few terrorists in the process, since the only people crossing into the country would be the ones who can't get in legally or want to enter undetected.

Documenting workers would also reduce the exploitation of illegal labor. And once someone is documented as a guest worker we can keep them out of our debilitating and soul-crushing welfare system. I like the idea of having documented guest workers pay into Medicare and social security as well as pay state and federal taxes. If they later become US citizens their time worked could count for them in the method used to determine eligibility and benefits under social security.
