A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention. Today focusing on Illegal Immigration and what isn’t being done about it. (With an American Soldier update at the end)
Doc Russia writes Just in case you were wondering “...about my position on the recent large protests against Sensenbrenner's bill; First off, my wife is an immigrant. Actually, she is a refugee if you want to be specific. I tell you this because I don't want to hear any bullshit about how "I don't understand the plight of the immigrant." That's absolute crap. I do know what I am talking about. My wife came to the US 16 years ago. Her family spoke no english, and they had about $200 for the six of them, and two suitcases each.”
Captain Ed writes Illegals To Americans: We Hate America “It's hard to imagine that the schoolchildren who engaged in a pro-illegal immigration rally yesterday helped their cause much, except to harden the polarization already felt on both sides of the issue. While our politicians in Washington talked about how the illegals came to the US to enjoy the American dream, their actions speak much more towards the reconquista that, as Michelle Malkin has written, lies at the heart of the triumphalism that they now espouse.”
Master Gunner at Tanker Brothers writes Tanker Brothers: Race Traitors? Think Again! “Someone insinuated that they couldn't understand why I wasn't predisposed to understand the plight of illegal immigrants. I mean, after all, I'm Hispanic, right? The whole time, I'm thinking "What the heck does that have to do with the price of tea in China?" Someone else said, quite pointedly, as a matter of fact, that they didn't understand it, either, since there had to be some immigration in my background.”
John Hawkins of Right Wing News writes The Senate's Illegal Immigration Horror Show
Sometimes, you just have to scratch your head and wonder what goes on in the vast empty space between the ears of some of the Republicans in the Senate. For example, that sort of head scratching might happen after you saw the nightmarish concoction that the Senate Judiciary Committee just came out with.
Michelle Malkin writes THE AMERICAN FLAG COMES SECOND “You will not see this heart-stopping photo on the front page of the NY Times or on the lead story of the major news networks. You should (hat tip: Mika and F/R):”
The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiller writes President Milquetoast Does It Again “Here we go again. “As Bill so very correctly notes, Wile E. Bushyote never gets tired of that same old shtick no matter how many times it blows up in his face. With Harriet Miers, all of us critics were “misogynists and elitists.” With the Dubai Dumbfuck, we were “Arab-hating racists.” Now, with his Full Amnesty plan for illegal aliens, we’re just plain old “xenophobes” who hate all immigrants…”
Gay Patriot writes Illegal Immigration Must End! “I’m hoping that Americans get as excited and angry about the watered-down Senate immigration bill as they did about the Dubai ports sale. We have got to toughen our borders first, and worry about law-breaking refugees second. If you are in this country illegally, you should not have any rights under this nation’s Constitution. It is a pretty obvious conclusion.”
Jay Tea at Wizbang writes Immigration reform: a modest proposal “With the latest round of protests against changing the laws regarding illegal aliens, I've been listening to the arguments. And it's the same old crap -- the United States NEEDS the cheap labor, we've become "addicted" to it as we have to oil, and our economy simply can't survive as is without it. I happen to think that's a load of crap, but just for the sake of argument let's presume it's true. How can we possibly reconcile our needs for security and regulating our borders with this perceived need?”
Kobayashi Maru writes Immigration and Persecution - The Missing Link “Flipping between my three favorite talk radio channels yesterday while running an errand, I was disappointed to find all of them going on about illegal immigration. And on. And on. And on…” [Ed. note: Yes I know I linked to this post yesterday also.]
Crazy Poltico’s Rantings writes Immigration, French Riots or Religion? “…The Senate judiciary committee passed a (semi)bipartisan bill 12-6 that on immigration that includes the President's request for a guest worker program. This one will set up a showdown with the Majority Leader Bill Frist on a competing proposal that doesn't include that program. When the Senate gets what ever it does worked out they still have to square their bill with the one in the House that doesn't include a guest worker program either.”
And finally some news about American Soldier who was wounded in Iraq:
American Soldier writes The angle of it all “Early March changed the way I look at things. How I felt about the war I had been fighting. Never deterred, but the angle in which I fought it…”
