Here are a few things I’ve learned thanks to the illegal alien situation and the discussion of “immigration reform.”
No matter how low you think President Bush’s approval rating is, he will do something to make it lower.
Citizens who tire of waiting for the government to fulfill basic Constitutional functions are “vigilantes” and bad.
Welcoming people from all over the world who legally immigrate - but not wanting to grant legal status to illegal aliens - makes you a “racist”.
It is morally okay to sneak into a foreign country and march in the streets waving your home country’s flag.
Breaking and entering is okay, and the property owner should take care of you once you are there. Burglars are home invasion robbers are “undocumented householders”.
If an entity that ruled over your ancestors or to which your ancestors belonged used to control property and later relinquished that property in an agreement, it is perfectly legitimate for you to sneak onto that property, squat on it, and claim it belongs to you.
Everyone in the world who wants to come here and live off our system has an inherent right to, regardless of the needs of Americans.
Americans are lazy because they want to get paid decent wages for hard labor.
More socialism is the answer to problems with existing socialism.
Increasing regulation will solve problems of not enforcing existing regulations.
People should be forgiven of their crimes so that they can be “brought out of the shadows” and because it is so darn hard to enforce the law.
Drug dealers are “unlicensed pharmacists”.
A fourteen-year-old who takes a car on a joyride is only an “undocumented driver”.
The best way to solve a crime problem is to legalize the crime.
Pleasing Mexico is more important for too many American politicians than pleasing Americans.
A government that can’t locate or round up people or persuade them to go home will still, somehow, be able to collect thousands of dollars from them and verify that they've jumped through various hoops.
If a criminal is “entrenched” or has family, it is cruel and wrong to prosecute him and separate him from his family or remove him from things to which he has grown accustomed.
We should value and protect every culture except American culture.
Legal, illegal - there's no difference!
America should adapt to people who come here illegally, but then newcomers should not be asked to adapt to America.
