More chatter about those Illegal folks
From the blog Pardon My English.
Na, na, na, na, boo, boo, If you conservative white folks write about this stuff, you get called a racist, and other really bad stuff. ME on the other hand, I can’t be a racist ha ha ha. I get to play the “Liberal Victim Card” even though I’m a hard core conservative. Ironic huh?

A very strange thing happened today.
Essentially, a little boy went to Mexico and asked the government there to ask President Bush not to send his mother back to Mexico. The Mexican legislature then agreed to do so. Apparently, even the people who run Mexico think it’s too awful to live in.
Let me go over this slowly.
A woman crossed the border of the United States illegally. Twice. After her second incursion, she had a baby, which, under the 14th Amendment, is an automatic American citizen. She, however, remains a criminal alien. (Did I mention that she was convicted of working under a false social security number at O’Hare Airport? Yeah. That, too.)
When she realized she was in jeopardy of being deported, she took refuge in a Chicago church (despite the mythology, there is no legal status of “sanctuary”; nonetheless, the government is loathe to go into a church (even a Methodist one) and drag someone out (even a criminal.))
Now, she has sent her son to plead her case with Mexican authorities. She claims that deporting her (a criminal alien) is a violation of the Constitutional rights of her son (an American citizen.)
Okay, could someone show me the part of the Constitution that says you have a right to live with your natural parents? How is this different from sending a crack dealer to prison, even though she has a baby at home? Don’t we do that? I am fairly sure we do. All the time. Every day. And the children become wards of the state, and nobody sues (these last two words, by the way, are becoming increasingly rare in our society. Ask Sasha Baron Cohen.)
It seems to me that we never should have accepted the concept of “immigrant” as applying to criminals illegally crossing into the United States. It conjures up images of sepia pictures of women in babushkas who want nothing more than freedom, standing on a ship on its way to Ellis Island.
But that’s not what’s happening. Nobody is coming here, ready to submit to the citizenship process, spending weeks or months in quarantine so as not to bring any diseases with them, eager to learn American ways and English.
Instead, people are crossing the border under cover of darkness, sneaking in to have “anchor babies” in American hospitals, who then become their sympathy card with the media and the courts. “Awww, look at her! She’s a mommy! How can you send her back now?”
In handcuffs. On a bus. Under a judge’s order. And her son can either go with her, or be put up for adoption. Maybe some of those relatives who are escorting him around Mexico would like to keep him for a while, until his mother figures a legal way into the country.
Or maybe Madonna’s still shopping.

We could allow people to immigrate more easily. That would solve a lot of problems.
