Immigration City Limits: General Assembly Pounding Immigrants, and Foreign People in General, With Legislation
Posted by Brantley Hargrove on Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 3:00 PM
But lest you suspect the story has somehow been diluted, rest easy in the knowledge that the General Assembly's nativist tendencies remain unchecked. There is still a slate of pandering proposed legislation sure to draw the conservative vote and the condemnation of the civilized world in the name of common decency.
In this week's City Limits, we spend extra time examining the GA's grand coup de grâce (which gets 0 points for originality) — Rep. Joe Carr's and Sen. Bill Ketron's Arizona copycat bill — and the damning opinions of the federal district court and the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld the court's temporary injunction, effectively halting Arizona's enactment of an almost identical bill.

Perhaps redneck excessivness in our renowned legislature also needs examination by federal courts. Something needs to put brakes on their stupidity. Only thing missing to sue the shit out of them is someone(s) injection of money. That's what it always comes down to, does it not?

blah blah blah, boo hoo hoo, I am so sad because the rest of the state thinks differently from me and trounced me at the polls, boo hoo hoo.
Good luck getting the people you insult to vote the same way you do Cynic. There are a whole lot of people like me who laugh and profit whenever upset people take to path of insulting the electorate. Keep up the good work. Your hard work since the income tax debate has given us the entire state (except lil' ol' Nashville and Memphis).
Can I set you up with a blog to start insulting voters in remaining swing states?
This might be an appropriate time for a draft the 'Bat Poet' for the legislature movement. In the right district he'd probably be a strong candidate.
ILLEGAL legislation is LONG overdue! The legislature is doing what they were elected to do & that's get rid of the ILLEGALS.
If you don't like what they're doing, move to a state where they allow ILLEGALS to have in-state tuition to the colleges. Better yet, volunteer to do some counciling to someone's family that had been killed by a drunken ILLEGAL driver.
You people who support ILLEGALS amaze me as I bet you've never once lived in another country, especially where many ILLEGALS are from & seen firsthand how their countries treat ILLEGALS there. Try living in Mexico when your visa runs out, see how fast you land in a filthy Mexican jail. That is, if you don't get raped & killed by Mexican drug gangs first.
I agree that every student having to prove citizenship is overkill. You can catch 90% of the illegals attempting to steal our services by simply noting who speaks English poorly or not at all, and then request documentation from these people only. Same goes for migrant parasites signing up for welfare.
