Nor do I wish to sound unsympathetic but since the fires first began I've been wondering what extent the refuge left behind in this rugged terrain by illegal immigrants played in fueling the fires.  From pictures I have seen prior to the fires the underbrush seems almost incidental compared to the piles of trash littering the landscape.

I can almost hear the ACLU whining echoed by their LA Times demedia accomplices now if the suggestion was made that a suitable punishment for illegals caught in this country would be having to spend a minimum of two weeks picking up their trash they have left behind before being deported.  I wonder if at least the environmotionalists would get on board with that eco-friendly plan?  Somehow I think they would remain as silent on that topic as the feminists were about Bill Clinton's escapades. 

It obvious by the utter failure of ICE that they too feel the same way as the ACLU and LAT. 

When have you heard, read, or viewed ICE being taken to the wood shed for their inability to control illegal aliens entering this country or apprehending and deporting them once they are here.  Instead ICE gets a free ride.

The illegal aliens issue ought to be treated like the civil rights issue back in the day.  ICE should be augmented by the National Guard and raid any and all places of employement and the apprehended illegal aliens should be immediately deported.

By the way, how is that border fence going? See what I mean. 

The Great Wall of China was built faster . . .

maybe we can get the laws of nature to do the job the police should be doing(not blaming the police directly i know it's the politicians that are holding them back). i think controlled burns against illegals would work better than a wall. maybe a 700 mile moat filled with kerosene? and that would still burn less fuel than al gore jet jumping around the world.

oooooh how about a wall topped with a moat filled with kerosene.

and little tunnels under it that trained prairie dogs with lil grenades strapped to their backs, solve 2 problems at once.

and giant lasers mounted on turrets to zap anyone that might get past all that.

nah how about just enforcing the laws that exist.

My views have changed concerning immigration. As I posted on an earlier topic...

 Being undocumented is not a CRIME in itself. At most, it is a tort offense, off limits in criminal courts. My views on this issue have changes over the past several months. I used to be an "enforce-and-deport" supporter. But as I have seen how such efforts are so economically damaging to the country, my position has shifted. And Noel... by automatically assuming that supporters of immigrants' rights are leftists, it is YOU that is showing stereotyping. After all, people like Jeff Jacoby and Linda Chavez are FAR from being leftists, don't you think?

Since the word modifies not the crime but the whole person, it goes too far. It spreads, like a stain that cannot wash out. It leaves its target diminished as a human, a lifetime member of a presumptive criminal class. People are often surprised to learn that illegal immigrants have rights. Really? Constitutional rights? But aren't they illegal? Of course they have rights: they have the presumption of innocence and the civil liberties that the Constitution wisely bestows on all people, not just citizens.

 

Extraordinary nonsense, wouldn't you agree? After all, any alien presently in this country illegally can indeed rectify the situation. He or she is only a "lifetime member of a presumptive criminal class" if he or she continues to violate the law or the law is changed.

 

How is this nonsense? He is precisely, completely, totally, 100% correct.

George W. Bush is not a full-fledged conservative, but I still support his presidency. (Although I am rethinking this position daily!) Still, I'd rather have him as president than ANY of the Democrats. Merry Christmas 2007.
