Open Trackbacks - Illegal Immigration Edition

This L.A. Times article is about an illegal immigrant family with ten kids, with triplets who are the result of a reversed tubal ligation and fertility drugs, and one child who was born with liquid on his brain and is partially paralyzed. The family’s $400 per week income from the father’s job as a carpet installer is subsidized by $700 per month in Social Security benefits for the partially paralyzed baby. The children are American citizens and receive Medi-Cal and free lunch at school. Although the mother has been here for 22 years and the father 28, neither speaks English. Their oldest daughters speak mostly Spanish in spite of having been born and raised here. The twenty year old dropped out of high school without graduating, and the seventeen year old admits being on a lower reading level than her seven year old cousin. The mother’s nine siblings also came here illegally, but eventually left Los Angeles, with the sister who moved to Lexington, Kentucky providing this classic quote -

“We’re in a state where there’s nothing but Americans. The police control the streets. It’s clean, no gangs. California now resembles Mexico — everyone thinks like in Mexico. California’s broken.”

‘World Opinion’ is worthless

I tend to agree with Dennis Prager on this one. The full truth is usually eschewed by the news we get on television from around the world. This is partly because journalists do not have the freedom to report from some of the countries where the worse…

I forgive Mel Gibson - Passion of the Cristal

I do not drink and I abhor drunk-drivers. I do not party all night nor do I revel with the whores of Babylon. As you know, I loathe and despise violent racism and anti-Semitism. However… I forgive Mel Gibson for his anti-Semitic remarks. Why should…

It’s Monday: Back Away From The Eel And Nobody Gets Satirized.

It’s Monday again, and today I’m glad I don’t have to…
…be knocked off a podium by someone hurling a dead eel.
But some people do. Or rather did, before an anonymous e-mail complaint led to the termination of a 30 year t…

Hezbollah held children until they could be blown

Hassan Shar-Mootah hated his job. It wasn’t easy to fool the Israeli Defense Forces and besides, what he wanted them to do was unconscionable, although unless it was done, Hezbollah would soon be done for. Damn! Even sons of apes and pigs can be very…

Illegal Immigration: Here We Go Again…

It seems the illegal immigrant population in this nation can’t wait to take to the streets of our cities once again to parade their illegal presence.
From the Whittier Daily News:

30 million illegal immigrants can’t be wrong, can they?

The scary truth is that no one knows how many illegal aliens are in the United States. We don’t know who they are, where they came from, what their intentions are. This is something that everyone agrees on, both pro

Big cats and common sense

It makes about as much sense as allowing private citizens to house exotic cats in their homes to begin with. And it’s about time the practice ends. The federal government must do what the state refuses to and put Sipek out of this crazy business.I ag…
