John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (or whatever),said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.
What?
Those of you who know me, know I think illegal immigration is not a big deal. These people are no more prone to illegal activity than citizens. Additionally, I believe they add positively to our economy. BUT; if your job is to enforce immigration law then when confronted with an illegal alien you must act. Here we have a federal official acting to nullify law that he is tasked to uphold. What the hell are we paying him for? Clearly not to do his job.
You're fired dumbass!

Republicans=idiots
Just when the Republicans have everything in their hands they manage to do something totally stupid.
Why, oh why, would you stir up the immigration mess when things were going well. This is not a winning issue for Republicans and everyone knows it but them. This is as stupid as the Democrats kowtowing to the fringe of their party. Just when it looked like they would make huge gains in the House and the Senate, along comes the immigration bomb, and they reach down and light the fuse. It's like giving back all the gains made in the past 15 months.
There seemed to be a real opportunity to gain some ground, and roll back the legislative overreach, and spending splurge of the past two years. That will crawl back now, thanks to the Arizona law, and the other southern states jumping on the bandwagon.
Idiots!

Just say no to the border fence
If the people who live on the border and are most affected by illegal immigration think the border fence is a bad idea, shouldn't we perhaps listen to them?
The Texas Border Coalition, which is chaired by the Mayor of Eagle Pass, has filed a lawsuit to stop construction of the fence. Mayor Foster says it is "an antiquated solution to a 21st century problem."

Immigrant rights
Australia gets it right.
The U.S. should enforce similar standards. An immigrant should embrace the tenets of western civilization or be turned back at the border. (Do not read this as an anti-immigrant trope against our good neighbors to the south; they are very much western civ people.)
