OK .. I know. Some of you are going to say I'm talking about me. Go ahead and have your fun. What I'm talking about is attempts on the part of Cobb County, Georgia to do something on the local level about illegal immigration. I guess the county officials think that they're going to have to do something on their own since it is pretty much clear at this point that the federal government is going to do nothing ... not even enforce the laws we have right now.
In Cobb County they're thinking about a law relating to the number of unrelated people that can live in any single-family residence. Since illegals have shown a propensity for cramming 15 or more people into one three-bedroom home, it is thought that this might make it just a bit more uncomfortable for illegals to exceed their welcome.
Well, here come the "Latino activists." They're screaming bloody murder that this law is aimed at a specific racial group and is, therefore, (a) racist, (b) illegal, (c) evil, (d) wicked and (e) mean and nasty.
OK ... let's noodle this one out. Is it just possible that Hispanics make up the bulk .. somewhere close to, say, 95% of illegal aliens in the country?
So, if you're going to pass any law that tries to address the problem of criminal aliens, isn't it just possible that that law is going to have a disproportionate affect on Hispanics? Couldn't Homer Simpson figure this one out?
So .. here's the deal. Illegals and those who support them, have a ready-made weapon that they can use against us in the battle to enforce our laws. Since, insofar as illegal immigration is concerned, most miscreants are Hispanic, we are completely unable to enforce those laws because it would disproportionately affect --- (guess who?) --- Hispanics! Therefore, you can't pass any laws that would have a meaningful affect on illegal immigration! Don't you just love political correctness?

It is impossible to enforce immigration laws when the majority of the three branches of Government are dead set against it.
Murder, stealing, rape etc..
So why have laws?
Because you can’t have anarchy. Not everyone will get caught but you need BOUNDARIES in any CIVILIAZED society.
ENFORCE immigration laws NOW and add new ones as Arizona did - it’s WORKING!
How do we know its ‘impossible’ when we have yet to attempt it uniformly?
Is boortz an open border/open immigration proponent?
Why isn’t it “impossible” to enforce the tax laws? There are many more tax-payers than illegals, but sheer volume doesn’t seem to deter the IRS from trying to catch tax cheats.
The millions can be deported through direct and indirect means quite easily. Eisenhower did it.
Read the freaking article!
GEESH!
Have none of you ever noticed Boortz using </sarcasm> ?!?!
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Because Harry Reid looked me in the eye and told me so. I saw into his eyes and he cannot lie to me.
Neal, put me in charge and I’ll show you how to do it. I am tired of being discriminated against as a white taxpayer. I also do not get free health care of welfare for every baby my wife pops out. So when is the discrimination against me going to end?????
As long as a law is race-neutral on its face, John Roberts will make sure that it is upheld, without regard to the fact that it appears to hit one group more than another.
Far from it. He's just pointing out how absurd the argument of the "activists" are.
It’s not impossible to enforce the laws. Just do it. The arguments against it phony and disingenuous and should be exposed for that.
It’s not even like it’s hidden deep in meaning... he directly addresses the fact that people find immigration laws racist, then claims that such laws are then impossible, due to the fact that a single race (mexicans) are the largest violator of immigration laws.
If it’s going to involve 12,000,000 law cases, it will be impossible. Cut the red tape...No papers...Back you go!! No court, no attorneys, no more free lunch.
True, thanks for clearing that up.
I don’t even think the “disproportionate effect” idea is even valid any more, after Washington v. Davis. USSC said in that case that even though a police officer test had a disproportionate negative effect on black candidates, the test was OK because it was “facially neutral” or something like that.
no one is saying you could do it in a single year...but you could do it over 5 or 10. end result, the problem gets solved, which is what everyone wants... unless you are here illegally (or hoping to get something from the illegals)
it's a conflict of interest to ask the government to do something that is unpopular with a segment of the population... when elections are decided by 2 or 3%, they could swing by that same population segment
The IRS doesn’t do such a great job, they ignore many tax cheats, and are about 3 years behind on auditing the others.
I had a friend just get a notice on their 2004 taxes. It wasn’t a big problem, they didn’t owe any money, the IRS was just asking for an explanation of something. Point is, though, it’s their 2004 return and the IRS is just getting around to looking at it.
