Illegal Immigration: To Do Something...anything At All...why Is that Even a Question?

Sometimes you have to wonder why we are engaging in debate regarding illegal immigration at all. Sure, people across the country think this is an issue that needs to be addressed, maybe not right at present since the presidential election campaigns are in full swing, smoke screening away anything that could look like an intelligible stance in favor of trying to win over swing state voters, the women's vote, the black vote, the Hispanic vote...remember when politicians just competed for voters?

At the same time efforts are being ramped up in parts of the southwest United States, other factions or government bodies are doing everything in their powers-that-be to hamstring or deliberately derail any kind of enforcement that makes sense. Guess building a multi-million dollar series of posts for people to simply walk sideways through is the kind of common sense approach being eyeballed by the pro-illegal immigration forces.

In California, for example, the state assembly recently proved without a shadow of a doubt why I have absolutely no use for the state of California. I mean, if they slide off the map following the 'big one," fear not...the porn industry will live on in Vegas and Arizona, and that's just for starters. The state assembly defeated a bill that would have removed automatic protection for illegal immigrants who commit DUI offenses. For all the negativity the GOP has been getting this election year, I find it interesting the only two (TWO?!?) who voted for the bill were Republicans. The remainder...all Democrats...decided that merely driving drunk, hitting and injuring, maiming, and killing people was not that big a deal for their friends, the illegal immigrants. Remember this the next time you hear something about the "do-nothing Democrats," because you can prove them wrong, or at least in California. They may not do much, but they are certainly willing to ignore the safety and well-being of lawful citizens and drivers in their state.
