Breathing While Undocumented (Barf Major Police/Nazi/Apartheid State Chunks)
NYT ^ | 4/26/2010 | LINDA GREENHOUSE

Posted on 04/27/2010 11:52:58 AM PDT by Dallas59

I’m glad I’ve already seen the Grand Canyon.

Because I’m not going back to Arizona as long as it remains a police state, which is what the appalling anti-immigrant bill that Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law last week has turned it into.

What would Arizona’s revered libertarian icon, Barry Goldwater, say about a law that requires the police to demand proof of legal residency from any person with whom they have made “any lawful contact” and about whom they have “reasonable suspicion” that “the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States?” Wasn’t the system of internal passports one of the most distasteful features of life in the Soviet Union and apartheid-era South Africa?

I thi nk the MSM need to compare our immigration to immigrations laws in other countries, like Mexico.

I’m so sick of these whiners’ incessant complaining. The fact is most Americans support the new Arizona law because it makes sense.

Here’s the scoop. Being undocumented means you’re here illegally. If you can manage not to get caught, congratulations. But the government has the right to catch you and deport you.

FReepers need to go out of their way to shop in Arizona, even if it's vicariously by shopping online.

Mother's day is coming up...Etsy Local Search

...and Father's day, too.

I can only imagine what’s going on right now on MSNBC. I’d rather not look, truth be told. My imagination is quite sufficient. I think ‘Zombieland’ and I think that’ll do the trick.

Ok then.
How about Haiti then ? I hear it's pretty exciting there this time of year.

For those not familiar with her:

 

 

I'm sure Arizona will not miss her. Could she boycott FL as well?

He might say it sounds an awful lot like Obamacare . . . you know that little bit of fascist legislation that will require citizens to provide proof to the authorities that they carry health insurance. Also he might wonder where is all the outrage over Big Mother Napolitano targeting Americans over their bumper stickers, the Justice Departments interest in tracking people through their cell phones and reading their emails without a warrant while Obama is out there suggesting that collecting DNA samples from people on routine traffic stops is a pretty good idea.

Californians have to provide proof of automobile insurance. Can you say, “Your papers, please?”
