The House of Representatives Stupidly Weighs In on the Stupid Immigration Debate

I caught a few seconds of Fox News covering the House’s rival plan to the currently on hiatus Senate immigration plan.

I then Googled the House plan and skimmed a couple of articles. As near as I can tell, the House wants to pass a law that requires the Government to enforce the laws we already have. I’m giving it a broad stroke here; but, I think I’m close enough, other than the sponsors’ great need for some airtime while pontificating on the issue.

I think this is a great concept. Let’s pass a law that says, “Damn it, you better well do what we told you had to do the time before and the time before that. And, if you don’t do it this time, and it’s still a popular enough issue down the road, we’ll be up here on the dais again yelling at you to Enforce The Law!”

“Oh, wait, that’s us, the Government, that isn’t enforcing the law. Well, that’s that other part of the Government that we told to do it, but didn’t give any money to so as to actually do it.”

The face-time guys railed about the Senate plan’s flaws. Only building about half of the idiotic “whole” fence along the boarder? Outrageous! They demanded 23,000 border guards instead of something in the high teens. They said employers who hire the nasty illegals should be prosecuted.
If you’ve read me for a while now, you know I have some strong opinions on this idiocy. But, I’m going to reverse my course here and give the idiot talkers in our nation’s and the states’ legislatures the chance to put their money where their mouths are. How ‘bout this:

Take your twenty-some thousand border cops. Hell, you don’t need a thousand. Do some swoops on the bad, bad wetbacks and, be careful now, the people that give them the money that gave them the incentive to come here, to stay here, to come back here if on occasion they get kicked out.

I can give the idiots some free tips on effective and cost-efficient bad guy busting:

My office complex, near the corner of I-85 and Chamblee Tucker Road in Atlanta, a couple of mornings a week, has eight or nine of the bad guys buzzing around trimming and cutting vegetation. My bet is one or more of these hard working guys doesn’t have the right papers. While here, they can get the address of the company that hired them from the nice logo on the truck “xxxxxxxxxx Landscaping. 770-555-5555.” Then they can go to the Mr. American Business Owner and handcuff him and throw him in the back of the van with his workers.

While the idiots are in the neighborhood, they can go across the highway to the townhouse condo development that is in the midst of framing work. Sure to pick up a few bad guys and they can maybe get lucky and nab Mr. American Business Owner number two as he supervises. If not that lucky, the signs on the development have lots of business names and numbers. Easy to track down those employers so as to put them in hand cuffs. Hell, I can set up busts that’ll take a month, all within ten miles of where I live and work. After a month of arrests, what will we have? Twenty or thirty thousand bad, bad guys and four or five hundred Mr. American Business Owners cooling their heels in jail. OK, the Americans will be out on bail.

Then the idiots can move on over to the next metro area and start again.

Do this for the rest of the year, and for better or worse, you won’t have an immigration problem.
