Sorry for the light posting folks. Day long meetings again today and more tomorrow. Leaves little time (or energy) for blogging. The one bit of news I want to comment on today is via Powerline and Right Wing News concerning the Democrats idiotic decision to allow immigrants who convict a violent crime to not only stay in this country (which I vehemently oppose), but to be elligible to become a US citizen:

“Senate Democrats refused to allow consideration of an amendment yesterday that would bar illegal aliens convicted of felonies from obtaining U.S. citizenship.Democrats said the amendment would “gut” the immigration bill under consideration in the Senate and refused to allow a vote on it.

“It hurts the bill,” said Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. “It hurts the very foundation and what I believe is the spirit” of the legislation.”

How many times have I said “if you want to beat a liberal, just let them talk”? The Democrats have (deservedly so) opened themselves up to the Willie Horton treatment. Everytime an immigrant commits a violent crime against an American citizen the Republicans and their 501c’s will be able to wrap that crime around their Democrat challengers all year long. Here is one example for use against the Senators and Gubernatorial candidate in CA:

A Mexican man who was living in the United States illegally, was sentenced to ten years in prison for molesting a five year-old girl in the St. Louis suburb of Valley Park.

Milton Soto entered a no contest plea to a charge of statutory sodomy from a crime committed last year. He was sentenced yesterday in St. Louis County Circuit Court.

Authorities say the 24-year-old was deported to Mexico in 1999 but came back to the U.S. He will be deported again after he is released from prison. That won’t occur until at least 2013, when he first becomes eligible for parole.

So this is the type of person Harry Reid believes we should allow to become an American Citizen? This is the person he is holding up the Senate debate for? Is the guy certifiably nuts? In 2013 the guy gets out and can not only work to be a citizen, he can prey on our kids some more!

Want to invigorate opposition to your party, tell Americans that not only do we need to keep this kind of dangerous scum in our country (something, I state again, I oppose for ALL aliens in our country) but he deserves to be an American Citizen.

Take a look at this site, because the victims of illegal aliens posted on this site will soon become household names and images:

…Ranger Eggle was shot down by Mexican drug dealers who were using Organ Pipe as a route for their smuggling. Only 28 when he was murdered, Eggle was a valedictorian and an Eagle Scout who joined the National Park Service because he loved the outdoors.

…In a particularly tragic example of government inattention to illegal aliens who have run amock, one of the snipers who terrorized the Washington DC area for three weeks in October 2002 was a foreign national who had been apprehended the previous year. As a stowaway, he was required by law to be immediately deported back to his home country. Instead, the INS overroad the Border Patrol’s designation and released John Lee Malvo upon the unsuspecting American public.

In another case of justice denied, the murderer of Phoenix high school student Tanee Natividad merely crossed the border into Mexico to escape law enforcement. A local television station was able to track down the murderer in a bar just a few miles across the border without much effort. Max LaMadrid has no reason to hide because the Mexican government actually helps violent criminals escape American justice.

I am all for a guest worker program. But I am also for deporting anyone who is not a US citizen and who commits a violent crime. I am also for serious background checks on EVERY alien to make sure we don’t even open ourselves up to these people. The Democrats deserve to have the victims of illegal aliens tied directly to them if they think a the guy who murdered Tanee should be elligible to be a citizen. This is sickening.
