My Favorite Color is Clear

I was watching the news again yesterday (you'd think I'd learn my lesson at some point). The news covered a rally that was put together by the pro-illegal-alien people. A teenage girl took the podium and started yelling "I'm not documented! But I'm not a criminal! I'm an honor student! This law is discriminating against me because of the color of my skin!" This impromptu speech was accompanied by cheers from the other demonstrators. It sort of reminded me of the My Anus Is Bleeding clip on YouTube, to be perfectly frank.

Although there's nothing in the law that should bother any American citizen (law-abiding or otherwise), I do recognize that some may be concerned that it could be used by racists to discriminate against Hispanics. But only an American can say that. When an illegal says that, it doesn't mean anything. She's being discriminated against because of the color of her passport, true. "Nonexistent" is a color. And it's perfectly legal to discriminate on this basis. But let's not forget that she is the target of this law. How are they going to use it to discriminate against her racially? That's like discriminating against pedophiles by passing a law making it illegal to molest small children.

But what really irritates me is that when this teen got up in front of a crowd of people and confessed to the crime of entering this country illegally, in front of hundreds of witnesses, she wasn't arrested.

Something else that irritates me is seeing illegal aliens trying to change public policy by demonstrating. What irritates me even more is the fact that they are succeeding.

When you hear someone say, "I'm not documented," that's the same thing as saying "I'm here illegally." It's just double-talk. Code for "I paid a dishonest government servant $2000 to issue me an illegal driver's license." "I falsely obtained unemployment benefits." "This country thought I was a citizen and paid for my schooling." "I advised other lawbreakers on how best to enter the country illegally." ...

Once the decision has been made to enter this country illegally, other crimes are inevitable. And if you're "undocumented," you're a criminal.
