Let’s hear it for ICE, finally cracking down on illegals!

People bitch about taxes, about crime, about unemployment and about low pay for entry level jobs, yet when we start cracking down on part of the problem (some would say the root of the problem) people start screaming “Civil rights! Civil rights!”

Truly amazing.

You can’t have it both ways, people. You can’t have your utopian garden of eden and at the same time allow every single scumbag who decides to cross the border into the country.

Before you start flaming me, I’ll tell you outright-I have no problem with legal immigration. But if you violate a law by entering the country illegally, why should anyone expect that you’re gonna follow any of the other laws?

No, it’s meaningful, even for one who wants illegal immigration stopped. Create a class of people who fear going to the police, and you create a class of easy victims for whatever criminal crap baddies can think of to dish out at them. And then, just like any “tax it and it shrinks, reward it and it grows” situation, this has the effect of boosting the profitability and desirability of criminal crap, which in turn makes the criminal class grow, which eventually spreads out to make all our lives less good.

Plus, not even dumb people who let some stupid, weenie concern over not being able to feed their kids because of the worthless economy in their own corrupt country should be thrown to the wolves that seem to reside in many parts of our fair MSA. Frankly, I’d rather be deporting the robbers, thieves, muggers, drug dealers (well, not mine, I mean), welfare cheats, crooked pols, crooked-pol bribers, and drunk ATVers than some of the Mexican families I’ve met in my life.

So what.

That means more crime and more victims, not less.

Bullshit

Because they would be tied up for hours, if not days, and most police departments would rather have the officer dealing with crimes that are more than status offenses.

They’re unarmed, so you can grab ‘em pretty much anywhere.
