Watching San BernardinoIt could well be the face of things to
come
I've been watching the San Bernardino mess for a few days. For the
record, I think the City Council did the right things. Let the people
decide.
I was struck by these two statements though. "In Alabama, you knew who the Klan were. They openly paraded around in sheets," Johnson said. "In California, racism has taken on a more covert approach. Here they wear suits, they have Web sites and they use initiatives to spread their message of hate." I am not quite sure how supporting existing immigration law translates to the Klu Klux Klan and hate. It certainly doesn't say much for the side that has to trot out that simile. "We are not criminals and it doesn't make sense for the city to pass a law against us," said Arreola, speaking in Spanish with a translator. By definition, if someone broke the law to live in the United States, they are criminals. As I have said before, the libertarian in me wants the borders wide open. But on a practical front, I don't want to deal with the ones who live here only to exploit the American system. I don't want the reconquista idiots, I don't want the illegals with felony records and a serious criminal history, and I don't want the ones who live here on the taxpayer dime.
