When Arizona passed a law stating that anyone hiring an illegal would lose their business license, the protests took it all the way up through two courts, including a federal appeals court. Both courts upheld the law! In other words, the Tenth Amendment still stands, and Arizona, including Sheriff Joe, want no parts of the illegals. Scottsdale, after having one of their cops shot and killed by an illegal, is checking credentials of all police stops, and insists it is not racial profiling, which it isn’t. After all, if someone is stopped for a violation, can’t speak English, has no insurance or driver’s license, and is Hispanic, is it racial profiling to assume they’re illegal? On NPR this morning (Monday) a news blurb said that illegals by the thousands were packing up and leaving Arizona, for other states or back to Mexico. Well isn’t that grand! Maybe they won’t take back America after all, if other states decided to put them to the test, and especially CALIFORNIA.
In Arizona, businessmen, and naturally the ACLU protested the law because they couldn’t get cheap labor to compete with whites and blacks who have benefits, insurance, and taxes deducted. Well isn’t that too bad now! Since the ACLU stands for the AMERICAN Civil Liberties union, why do they make it the MEXICAN or ILLEGAL Civil Liberties Union? Did anyone ever ask them that poignant question? It seems to me that Americans’ civil liberties are being threatened by illegals violating laws, and getting free schools, citizenship for their kids, medical care, and Social Security.
Did you see Ron Paul on “Meet The Press” Sunday? What a triumph! Tim Russert brought up all the quotes from 20 years ago when Ron was running as a Libertarian, and he answered them all explicitly and logically. Anyone watching that show who wasn’t instantly converted into a Ron Paul fan is a moron. Russert tried every trick in the book to trap Ron, and it failed miserably. Ron Paul stood his ground perfectly. I wonder if the polls showing him to be 6% are fixed like every other statistic?
Iowa and Colorado both have the “caucus” type of primary, which is so utterly stupid as to defy description. So silly, that I seriously doubt that any results of a caucus state can mean a hill of beans. I quit the Republican inner sanctum when I was considered a traitor by urging the abolition of the caucus system and going to a logical primary system. I’m still a registered Republican, but I honestly don’t know why. At any rate, open half day today, and I am out of here at noon. Have a wonderful Christmas!
