I found this HILARIOUS. Okay, so basically. Arizona is trying to pass a new immigration law allowing police to stop people that they suspect are in the country illegally, just by looking at them.
Now, Governor Jan Brewer is in favor of the law. Really in favor. They're saying support for the bill is strong. The governor's office has received some 5,000 calls in support of the law, and roughly 2,000 against. Senator Pearce threw in that at least 90% of the calls his office has received are totes in favor.
Two lawsuits have been filed against it already by the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, basically because this totally condones racial profiling. WELL, NO SHIT. Look, I think if you're going to come to this county, do it legally. Of course. But pulling over someone that's Hispanic just because there's a possibility of them being here illegally is ridiculous. What about Hispanic police officers? That's quite an awkward situation for them. What the fuck, Arizona? Really?
I mean, how do you decide that someone "looks" illegal. Cause they're driving a shitty truck? Or they dressed for construction work or some shit? It's complete shit. There's no way to enforce that law without racial profiling. Governor Brewer says that AZ POS, which is a police thing in Arizona, is training their officers on how to recognize illegal aliens. Right, Jan. Right.
So, a group of protesters are outside of Wrigley Field because the Diamondbacks are playing up there today. These protesters are comparing Arizona government to Nazis and the KKK. I don't know if it's necessarily THAT intense, but come on people. Shakira is even in on this! She said she was planning on meeting with the mayor of Phoenix to discuss how the city would stop the enforcement of the law. This whole thing is not right. And when you pull over someone that ISN'T illegal, it's fucked. It's like when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and they had all of the Japanese immigrants living in those makeshift neighborhood things. It's not like they were all planning to bomb the US. This bill is right on the outskirts of being unconstitutional. Not cool.
Along with this, some fucking prick congressman from California says he would totally deport children of illegal aliens. Mr. Duncan Hunter, may I present you with the Douche Kayak of the Year Award?
Sure, let's blame the children for what choices their parents have made for them. Innocent kids, who have no control over where they live or what their parents do. Apparently, this doucher supports House Resolution 1868, which calls for the elimination of automatic citizenship for children born to illegal aliens in the United States. Thankfully, the resolution stalled in the House and never passed. Dude says, and I quote, "It takes more than being born here to be an American- it's about what's in the soul." Well, apparently our souls are black pits of despair. At least yours is, dick.
On top of that, Obama declared a state of emergency today! An 120 mile long oil spill is supposed to hit the mouth of the Mississippi River within a few hours. VANDERFUL. US has all the luck. Is this karma? Probably.
Besides all of this mess, England is having their final debate tonight( Hi, Alex :])! I'm pretty jealous of the way debates work over there. You know, in the US our debates are pretty gay. There's really no actual discussion between candidates. Someone asks a question and each candidate can answer, yadayadayada. It's like a question and answer session! But, the UK does it right. I wish I could find better coverage of it on television, I'd be absolutely enthralled. Consider yourself lucky, Alex. I'd love to be watching.
That's all for now, Kbye!

No, no, no and nooooo to your last bit. Hi April :P Still no though, if you think our debates were any less tedious than your own then you're looking at it through some rose tints or something. At least yours have some level of inspiration, clever quips, dreams and ambitions and all that voter winning stuff. Here we have the dull, the over excitable and the just plain naff.
ReplyDeleteIf I have to hear another straight question being 'skillfully' avoided, see another dark cloud bringing smile from our pathetic Prime Minister already caught on camera on Wednesday calling some poor old woman who asked him about immigration a 'bigot' as soon as he got in his car, the sad bickering between the main two parties and the third upstart wanting to bring 'change' and 'fairness' and 'doing things differently' without ever saying how, or.. well anything else really, I will seriously consider moving to your beautiful country JUST for you.
