More immigration happenings over at the California Conservative, Democrats Shortcircuit Border Enforcement, Demand Path to Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants:

I’ve asked this before but why should illegal immigrants ever be afforded a path to citizenship? Isn?t it enough that they get legal status? If it isn’t, why isn’t it enough? Frankly, I haven’t heard a thoughtful, logical explanation for providing illegal immigrants a path to citizenship. I doubt I ever will.

Very well said! Why does immigration debate always end up with citizenship? Oh yeah, because that is the only way politicians gain potential new voters. Check out California Conservative for the full article, the link is up top there.

According to the Miami Herald, inmates are now being prosecuted for masturbating in their jail cell Inmate found guilty in masturbation trial:

(Miami Herald) - A Broward prisoner accused of committing a sex act while he was alone in his jail cell was found guilty Tuesday of indecent exposure.

Terry Lee Alexander, 20, unsuccessfully fought the charge, which had been brought by a female Broward Sheriff’s Office detention deputy who saw him perform the sex act in his cell in November.

In reaching the guilty verdict, jurors found that an inmate’s jail cell is ”a limited access public place” where exposing oneself is against the law.

Uh how do they change into other clothes if “exposing” themselves is a crime. Also, wouldn’t it be better if prison rape was something Florida jails were trying to curb. Last time I checked no one is fearful of shower masturbation.

More great immigration news from Reuters: Court throws out city’s illegal immigration law:

HAZLETON, Pa (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Thursday struck down as unconstitutional a local law designed to crack down on illegal immigration, dealing a blow to similar laws passed by dozens of towns and cities across the country.

U.S. District Judge James Munley said the city of Hazleton, 100 miles north of Philadelphia, was not allowed to implement a law that would fine businesses that hire illegal immigrants and penalize landlords who rent rooms to them.

What? Fine business that hire illegal aliens? That is preposterous!! Thank goodness for the federal courts looking out for those who broke a federal law to be here in the first place.

Yahoo news has a fun story about Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio and his illegal immigrant hotline he has setup. From Yahoo News, Sheriff urged to close immigrant hotline:

PHOENIX - Latino leaders and faith-based organizations want Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to disconnect the hotline he created for people to report information about undocumented immigrants, saying it raises the chance of racial profiling.

Hmm, typical activist whining there but the story takes a funny twist near the bottom when the activists decide to setup their own hotline:

Some Latino advocacy groups will launch a hotline of their own to take tips from people who believe they’ve been unfairly reported to Arpaio’s hotline, said activist Mary Rose Wilcox, a Maricopa County supervisor.

A typical phone call to the activists’ hotline will go something like this:

Activist phone rep: “Illegal Immigrant advocacy hotline, this is Ackbar, how can I help you?”

Illegal Immigrant caller: “Hola, I think the gringo’s are on to me, one of those American’s called a phone number. What do I do?”

Activist: “Do not worry, I will have my supervisor contact the ACLU. Please continue to wait at the Home Depot for further instructions.”

Of course in my scenario, the activists obviously contract out to a call center in Pakistan, how funny would that be? I wonder if it will be a 800 number or if they will have to use minutes off of their prepaid phone card?

Hollywood is coming out full force with its “America sucks, we are the bad guys” crap. While Real Bullets Fly, Movies Bring War Home from the New York Times:

Among the new films, ?Valley of Elah? is sure to be one of the most closely examined, thanks to Mr. Haggis?s credentials ? he shared an Oscar for writing ?Million Dollar Baby? and was nominated for another as co-writer of ?Letters From Iwo Jima? ? and because of his opposition to United States policy in Iraq.

?This is not one of our brighter moments in America,? Mr. Haggis said in a telephone interview from London, where he is still working on the film?s music. ?We should not have gotten involved.?

There seems to be at least a half dozen defeatists movies coming out over the next six to nine months. Personally I look forward to Hollywood producing future terrorist training video’s, maybe they will be able to budget for a real attack dummy and not a friggin ping pong paddle. So remember to go see a blockbuster this summer kids, that way the movie studios can take your money and use it for something good like telling you what a piece of crap they think your country is.
