Right As Usual

I, personally, think it's important to release criminals if they're pregnant. And, of course, protest the arrest of mothers of young children. Everyone knows that MOMS can't REALLY be felons - they're just misunderstood victims, who are only trying to make money to support said children. Yeah, right.

So, that's the answer to the furor over immigration? Re-assign 20% of the agents to other work? God forbid that illegals might have to be caught!

Whose economic well-being? Not the American workers who are being displaced from jobs, whose employers are "gaming" the system to get cheap labor. Not the home country, who have educated these workers, yet find that they then leave, and "go for the money" in the US.

Read the story below - it may shed some light on the current situation in Mexico, and what impact the heightened enforcement of immigration laws may have in the near future.

It certainly is not true that ALL illegal aliens commit crimes, but it is true that chuckleheaded, dewy-eyed innocents have a rosy impression about the intent of illegals. Some are here to work (which, BTW, is against the law); others hide like wolves among the lambs, biding their time, waiting for the sheepdogs to relax their guard - then, CHOMP!

There's a little-known connection between the sub-prime mortgage problems that have surfaced lately, and the illegal immigration flood. Check out what The Undocumented Blogger has to say about it . Just who are these borrowers that are defaulting on their mortgage loans at a nearly a 50% rate? Leonardo Simpser of the Hispanic National Mortgage Association (NHMA) says that Hispanic first-time buyers constitute the fastest-growing segment of the subprime mortgage market. He also says that many Latinos, especially recent immigrants, have low FICO credit scores or no scores at all and are less creditworthy than they are in reality. HNMA is the creator of the Hispanic Automated Underwriting System (HAUS) which claims to allow lenders to "eliminate the need for time-consuming manual underwriting of such applicants, and allows lenders to underwrite borrowers with no Social Security numbers and multiple income sources."

You have to see this video . I've been negligent in keeping up on the video blogbursts lately (moving, coursework, getting ready for school next week), but, I promise, I'll do better.

If I am against illegal aliens entering my country, why am I so upset about this? Simply because this seems to violate human dignity. Sick people should be taken care of. That assumes, of course, that the people guarding the prisoner did, in fact, ignore Victor's deteriorating condition.

I'm of two minds about this. The early decisions from the state could give a big boost to some candidates, who might otherwise get lost in the shuffle. But, the likelier result is a lengthy extension to an already mind-numbing avoidance of controversy. Each candidate tries to out-bland the others.

I've just returned from almost a month on the road (OK, I occasionally stopped off at home, just long enough to drop off one set of clothes and pick up another), and will be exiting again either tonight or early (about 4am) tomorrow. I'm currently plowing through 1/2 foot of mail (I believe I have another stack with a friend), and have MUCH work to do to get ready for the move. So what am I doing? Catching up on my blog reading, of course. On Nation Review, Marsha Blackburn is revealing the many ways our American banks and financial institutions are trying to undermine the borders. How are they doing that? Without ever having produced a Social Security number, passport, visa, or credit history, an applicant can simply maintain a $500 balance in a checking account for three months for the bank to issue a credit card. Having made no additional effort to verify the applicant’s identity or immigration status, the bank issues a card complete with a predatory interest rate of over ...

This is a link to the Blogs4Borders Video Blogburst . The man that is the subject of the video is a citizen of SC, as I am. Demint has responded to our concerns, but Lindsay Graham is an absolute disgrace! I was at a national conference this last week, and was struck by the fact that so many of the participants were for enforcement of the borders. They shared stories of communities endangered, even on the verge of destruction, by the relentless parade of illegals over the borders. To me, it's amazing that so many politicians haven't a clue.

Reading Fran, the Curmudgeon, today, I sensed a general frustration with the world. [NOTE: As I have been relentlessly on the road this summer, I've been more without Internet access than with - you might well be agog at that, as those who know me seldom see me without a computer blocking the view]. So, this is an older post, but well worth the link . Human beings are fair to middling at figuring out what they want, not quite so good at figuring out how to get it, a tad less skilled at working out the immediate consequences of their decisions and actions, and damned near hopeless at seeing past the present moment. That’s right. In case you didn’t know it already, we predict very poorly, even over ranges as short as a few weeks. (That’s one of the strongest arguments against a law to ban, regulate, or control this because it will lead to that. Keep it handy.) Few persons predicted that the prices of dairy goods would skyrocket in consequence of federal encouragement for the use ...
