Immigration and the ACLU

Let's start by just confirming (reaffirming?) that I am no fan of the ACLU. Time and time again I have watched in horror as they defend the stupid and ignore real world issues. The latest example of their actions has them defending the rights (rights??) of a bunch of illegal immigrants. Details - Rhode Island news Rhode Island news projo.com The Providence Journal OK now..so lets get this straight. We're upset that some troopers did their job and caught some criminals. Why? The criminals were 'racially profiled.' Huh? What are we supposed to do, wait until the illegals put on their "Kiss me, I'm an illegal immigrant" t-shirts? Maybe living so far from any foreign borders puts the Rhode Island ACLU at a disadvantage. Maybe they don't understand the danger lurking across the borders.

In any case, they are gonna have to accept that we don't live in a perfect world. The time for being delicate is over. The time for trying to be nice towards everyones sensibilities is past. It is time to retake our nation and punish those who would choose to give it away. Down here in south Texas, the border is less than a hundred miles away. The border patrol maintains stations well 'inland' from the actual boders. Everyone who passes through is stopped and questioned. They are asked to provide proof of citizenship. I faced it daily while going about my everyday job. I had no problem with this. I'm sure the R.I. ACLU would crap themselves at the thought of everyone being pulled, regardless of car type, color or radio station playing. The ONLY question asked is are you a U.S. citizen. At these checkpoints, hundreds of thousands of pounds of dope and coke are caught and taken. Hundreds of illegals are captured. Maybe the troopers in Rhode Island should just ask everyone they pull over to provide proof of citizenship. That way it wouldn't be racial profiling. What do you think, ACLU?
My point here is that we are needlessly harassing a couple of officers who should have been commended for their efforts that were above and beyond the normal scope of their assigned duties. Anything that helps curb the flow of illegal immigration is a good thing. Funny thing that the 'super new' democratic congress decided to pass the 9-11 bills without even mentioning immigration. I firmly believe that homeland security and comprehensive immigration reform go hand in hand. Of course, the reform isn't really needed if we just decide to enforce what R. Reagan signed into LAW back in '84. Call me all the nastiest names in the book, but if we continue to award prizes to folks who should be deported, worry about the sensibilities of muslim cab drivers and defend the rights of illegal immigrants not to be arrested we are GIVING AWAY AMERICA!
