And a LEGAL immigrant shames the Tuscon City Council for considering suing the State of Arizona over its recent law enjoining its own law enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration laws.
h.t. Hot Air
Update: Peggy Noonan (yes, she’s still worth reading every now and then, despite having her head clogged by Beltway clannishness almost as badly as most of the politicians she accuses of living in the Beltway echo chamber) has this to say about the “feddle gummint’s” absolute failure to do anything meaningful about border control:
Why does the federal government do this? Because so many within it are stupid and unimaginative and don’t trust the American people. Which of course the American people have noticed.
Well, duh, Peggy. This statement could apply equally well to almost ANYTHING the “feddle gummint” does, though, so why just single out border control? (*heh* I was talking with a National Guard guy earlier this week about his take on why certain procedures are in place, and we agreed that they key was that the best way of doing things was likely known but was always taken off the table in favor of procedures that would exacerbate problems, be the least efficient or take the most time, money and personnel. It’s just the nature of bureaucrats to make certain it is so… )
