I Guess I Am Too Stupood To Understand....

Tuesday, May 29, 2007

This whole immigration thing. I mean, what is so hard about the debate?

I am a big fan of almost unlimited legal immigration, but I can certainly understand the position of people who want, say, only educated childbearing immigrants. It's a matter of degree.

What I don't get is people who don't understand the word "illegal" in illegal immigrant.

I'm a parent - before you give a kid his dessert you make sure the room is clean, homework done, and that there has been general good behavior.

So, I'm calling and faxing my senators and representatives to ask them to consider the following:

Fence
More cops at the border
End to so-called sanctuary cities
Immediate deportation of all illegal aliens known/found

How hard is that? Let's talk about 'amnesty' once the population of illegal aliens is quite low. I'm not asking for zero, but let's not kid outselves that the cops in most cities couldn't round up 10K illegals in a day or two.

I betcha if we put in a 180 day window for everyone to really have to fill out their I-9 with a notary present, really present ID to get a Drivers License, really prove citizenship to get free lunch or other benefits, really prove citizenship to get 2nd stage hospital care, etc....

Find The Boots

An executive goes on a business trip. When he arrives, it's raining cats and dogs. To avoid ruining his shoes, he purchases a pair of galoshes for $15, which he expenses under "Misc." on his expense report. A week later, the accounting department rejects his expense report, with a post-it note that says that the company does not reimburse for items of clothing. The next trip, the executive turns in an expense report without the galoshes, but with a post-it note that says "FIND THE BOOTS!".
