Are you kidding me?

From CNSNEWS: The city council of Hartford, Conn., has unanimously approved an ordinance that prohibits police and city employees from asking people about their immigration status.  The ordinance would bar police from arresting or detaining any person on the sole grounds that immigration authorities had issued an administrative warrant for them.  The mayor must sign it before it becomes law.

Starting in July 2007, New Haven, Conn., home of Yale University, began offering ID cards to all residents, including between 10,000-20,000 illegal immigrants. The measure was passed to allow illegal aliens to open bank accounts.

You have got to be kidding me.  What part of ILLEGAL cannot be understood?  Illegal, as in not lawful, as in against the law, as in breaking the law.  Theres an old saying, "give somebody and inch and they will take a mile".  Well, we got people taking more than the mile, they're taking the entire interstate on this immigration business. 

I got no beef with people that want to immigrate to this country, I'm not a Native American, I hail from immigrants years and years ago.  But by gosh, obey the law, do it legally and adapt to American society.  Personally I'm all for shutting the borders down completely and letting no one new in until we get this sorted out.  I'm all for making every single person in this country prove that they are an American citizen, or on the short path to being one.  If your not, load'em up and ship'em out, then once that's all straightened out start parking American soldiers and weaponry at our borders with M1A1 Abrams tanks.  You get one warning shot over the noggin and if your dumb enough to keep coming then you'll get what's coming.  I wax a little bit fantastical here, but you get my point.  How intelligent do you have to be to not realize we could have terrorists streaming across our borders with who knows what kind of weaponry, chemicals and such because we're so lax on border security?  I'm no Einstein but I'm smart enough to figure that out. 

Thankfully my child is not in school yet, but I do have a co-worker whose boy is in the 3rd grade.  With the No Child Left Behind act, the entire class slows down to a snails pace in order to not leave the poor little immigrant child who barely speaks english behind.  He's gone to the teacher, to the principal, to the school board only to have his crys of his childs education suffering falling upon deaf ears. 

The great thing is (sarcasm) with either Hussein Obama or John Mclame we'll probably get comprehensive amensty granted to all illegals.  Well, ain't that special.
