Myrick outlined a complex set of potential threats and evidence of their existence. She said "Iranian agents and members of Hezbollah" are thought to be learning Spanish in Hugo Chavez-run Venezuela before trying to obtain false documents to enter the United States as purported Mexicans.
The only wonderment to be found here is that it took so many years to happen.

Now if Venezuela loses Chavez, likely the terrs lose a resource, right? And Venezuela regains a growing economy. Hardly anything here not to like.

It's from here, which was just the first hit I got on actual text and not bloggage about it. Fox News -- but you cannot call yourself enlightened if you refuse to read Fox News, can you now?

Wow what great legislation. Makes perfect sense. Why wouldn't every state do that?




on the snarky side... That really is Bush's fault - good for him!

Well, strictly speaking, it was Rick Perry's doing, but I've always maintained that Bush was a much better politician (and person) back when he was governor--before he went senile. You gotta believe me, he used to be a brilliant debater. I truly believe that we will eventually find out he was already in the throes of early Alzheimer's during his presidency, just like with Reagan.

Cheney kept him drugged, like in the nursing homes.

Jinx, all I can say is you must raise yours. Plenty of room up here at my level, and it's really pretty nice. I'm blessed with enlightenment and intelligence. You could be. Doesn't worry me any.

Part of my intellectual quality is in how I resist the silly and narrow shibboleths of Northeastern liberal opinion, which tends to mire itself in misperception. I get out of that verkrampte region; I've been around the world. (Professional New Yorkers seem to me provincial and rather Babbity.) I've seen the regrettable results of too much government, strongman government, and so on. What you see here is the result of that experience. Now since when have you manifested anything comparable?

After 6 attempts over several years, in 2003 an appellate court upheld Fox New's first amendment right to report false information.

Well that certainly puts another nail in that coffin of public opinion supporting immigration reform.

How would it be different if the same law was applied to illegal drugs or illegal handguns? "You look suspiciously like you have illegal drugs or an illegal handgun on your person. Prove that you don't."

They already do that for anyone they have detained, no different from this law.

I stand corrected, they can stop them to check for immigration status. I still don't see or have a problem with it. Here is the Bill that the majority of the Obama administration failed to even read before they commented on it's evilness.
