Not all are welcome, outsiders need not apply.

Hello, blog you know the only thing cool about the constitution? Debating over it. Forget all that rule stuff, I want to use it as a tool to be the end all on my arguments. I couldn't care less about my rights. Which brings us to today; the Republicans want to change the 14th amendment.

OoooOoooO You know the 14th amendment, the part where you get busy in our country, get a kid, then the kid is a citizen.



The Republicans say...NO! They want to change illegal’s having children to try to use to get legal. What I don’t get is if being born here doesn't decide your legal status what the hell does? Where are the pro-lifers on this one? I mean don’t these guys support and love the babies? Doing this is going to only discourage illegal mothers to go to the hospital and have their child born safely. Those immoral immigrants, how dare they walk and cross and jump borders to try to be a part of the prosperity we have bragged to the entire world.



I think it's odd that the same people who think the Constitution should never be altered want to alter this. These guys complain about Government being too big too, but in order to make sure no kids from illegal’s are born here they will probably need some legal police at every hospital room.



"Oh Congratulations on your baby girl now catch your breath and I hope you like car rides cause were going back home ok."



"Hope you like handcuffs too."



"No, no it's ok. Just apply for legal status, sell your home in Mexico to prove you wish to be an American citizen." I'm not kidding about the last part. I met a "Legal" immigrant who is being told to sell his home in Mexico to prove he wishes to be a citizen. He has to go back to Mexico three months a year and is constantly asked, "Are you a drug dealer? A murderer? Or a part of Eric Estrada's family?" All three good sir!



This shows when the chips are down Republicans will invest in changing the Constitution just like Liberals would. If it fits the needs and interests of the Xenophobic, anti-immigrant folks, then going against your basic principles as a political party (Big government) (Preserving the Constitution) is OK.



Just remember though if you change this Constitution I'm going to say Sarah Palin is secretly a Russian Fascist who was born on a floating piece of ice in the arctic. Oh and by the way DONT BLAME HER FOR NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT AMERICA. I know the answer to that too. She was mauled by a moose as she floated to Alaska. Therefore she has memory loss and also intolerance for Moose. That's all I gotta say. It shows the parties aren’t too different and are willing to go against their basic principles that make up their party if it protects their interest.

Judge blocks part of Arizona Bill

Hello readers, today, as a lot of you know, more of the immigration tension heightened as a judge blocked a portion of the Arizona Immigration law. Before I talk anymore about this I suggest reading TangentX on Immigration for my stance on this subject, thank you. tangentx on arizonas immigration law



Okay, now the blocked portion is cops having the authority to question an individual's legal status. I looked at the CNN comments about this, and boy are the Arizona law supporters extremely unhappy.



It was the usual bigoted racial comments that the Internet is so well known for these days. Most that support and don’t support, however, seemed pretty misinformed. Isn't that with most politics in this nation? I mean, a lot of the people you debate with on the internet about issues end up in a verbal war due to the no consequences of it because you'll never meet this person face to face.



Ok, back on topic. I'm pleased with the outcome of today. A lot of people are downplaying the severity of this block but I think it was one of the most important parts of the bill. I do think both sides will have a few benefits. The pro-Arizona law will have safer streets simply because now the police won’t have to deal as much with illegal immigration activity. Think about it? If an illegal was arrested and can be thrown out of this country do you think those illegals are going to be very cooperative? Most criminals already try to be as difficult as possible, imagine if it was also a threat of staying in America or not.



The Arizona police will have to deal less about questioning legal status and more on whatever crime they did to get in trouble with the police. Of course those anti-Arizona Bill supporters are happy about this. However there is probably dissatisfaction from both sides. One wants the bill completely removed. The other wanted police to be able to question the legal status of criminals. And, of course, there is that growing category of this nation who side on the "Who gives a damn?" and "What's going on?"



To sum it up, it's a good victory for those against this bill, and for those who support it probably a step back. As you may know I am against this law. I've said it before so today is a win for us against obviously but, there’s still a lot to be done.



Stay safe and good night.

TangentX on Arizona's Immigration Law

I'm sure everyone knows about Arizona's new immigration law. Everyone is passionate about this debate and so am I. Majority says that what Arizona is doing is correct. Well, I'm here to say, not so fast. I have asked but never gotten an answer from anyone when I say “What's the difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal immigrant"? They both come from foreign countries. They both, for the most part, are here to work hard and be a part of the greatest country in the world. So, I must say, the only difference I can find between them is one starts with “ill” and the other doesn't.


First off, I want to give you a fact that might surprise you. In the last ten years property damage and law breaking has dropped 20% even during the peak of crossing illegally in Arizona in the year 2000. Second, it has been proven with multiple cities across the bordered areas near Mexico that border towns have proven to be safer than other cities. Interesting since so many illegal’s pass through, right?
Did you know that computer companies like Google and Yahoo were actually created by immigrants? It’s amazing that an immigrant, who supposedly takes jobs away, could create thousands of jobs in return.
Now to my next stump that I haven't understood from most people against illegal immigration, what’s the difference between an illegal and an American? It's just the simple fact that you were lucky enough to be born in this great nation and the other born in another. We also always brag about being the greatest country in the world and the land of opportunity. You tell me, if your living dirt poor and in a foreign nation and see Americans, or other countries, saying America is the land of opportunity and freedom, I think we can all agree myself included that we would want to be a part of that.

And perhaps the most dishearting statistic of them all, did you know in order to become a legal citizen of our great nation it takes 131 years! Something tells me you won’t be living to see the day you'll be a legal citizen. The US only hands out ten thousand work visas a year. I also want to point out the minority within a minority. Not all immigrants cross over to steal from the Government in fact most immigrants from Mexico aren’t told about their own benefits. And what about the simple economic known fact that if the people who make it are paid less than the goods themselves cost less and are more likely to take part in competitive prices.
Oh, did I forget to mention Canada, Australia, and Britain? They are doing what we used to do, have open borders for skilled working immigrants. If they are having the supply of workers, something tells me there stocks are raising the ranks of exports and wealth is going to rocket.
Did I forget to mention that securing our border is actually impossible? That's right. Don’t listen to what your representative has said, they are using it as a token to earn your vote. You tell me putting patrol over the vast border of Mexico that is only protected by a twelve foot fence and has more holes than Swiss cheese makes sense. Build the fence higher? Give the patrol machine guns? The Berlin wall wasn't impenetrable. Secure this border from possible terrorist attacks why would they bother? The 9/11 terrorists all had tourist passes and because of that came in legally and free.

But even if they did, why would they go for the border that does have some defense? What about our friends to the north, Canada? They have a border and a clear shot to America too. And that border? Even longer than Mexico's so to put patrol on both are a lot of resources and a lot of men.
You might say you could lose more money from the Government in that then those who are cashing in on welfare. What about the ones who do come in with bad intentions and make money with drugs? You're right, we can’t really stop them. Maybe that’s why we should stop paying attention to a common working foreigner and concentrate more on these drug cartels.
Arizona is the sole state who wants to do this to take out the working immigrant, right? No, Ohio Texas, and Georgia also wish to follow with Arizona and are in consideration.
It's time for us to remember how we became the top export country in the world. Our immigrants who worked hard and wished to achieve more and fought tooth and nail for the American dream. Why not do the right thing and re-introduce the guest work program. You work for America you get paid and you go home. Or we increase the amount of work visa's and maybe make a serious dent in this one hundred thirty one year wait for legal citizenship. Rather than take hard working men and women looking to be a part of the greatest melting pot in the world. I've told you all I know and my beliefs the choice is yours and America's, good night.
