Immigration-reform rallies will be held in some 80 cities tomorrow, with many thousands of people expected to protest just at Lafayette Square behind the White House. So why will these May Day demonstrations be ignored by the Main Stream Media? There are many good reasons!
“Now it seems to me that if we are so advanced with technology and manpower and competence that we can capture illegal grasshoppers from Brazil, in the holds of ships that are in a little small place in Port Arthur, Texas on the Sabine River. Sabine River, madam speaker, is the river that separates Texas [...]
You know that your latest exercise in legislation is a little wacky when arch-nut Rick Perry refuses to endorse it. You might think that Perry would be totally down with the new Arizona effort to find and deport the swarthy folk, but it turns out that he refuses to take follow the lead of his [...]
GOD PUNISHES PHOENIX WITH AMERICA’S DIRTIEST AIR: Mexican Jesus isn’t very happy with the capital of Arizona, is she? “In its annual air-quality report card, the American Lung Association put Phoenix at the top of its list of U.S. cities with the worst year-round dust pollution, as measured by levels of airborne particles that invade [...]
WOULD YOU PUT THEM IN THE ILLEGAL’S ANUS? “‘I think we should catch ’em, we should document ’em, make sure we know where they are and where they are going,’ said Pat Bertroche, an Urbandale physician. ‘I actually support microchipping them. I can micro-chip my dog so I can find it. Why can’t I microchip [...]
Will the terrible Democrats please stop considering a long-overdue immigration bill, now that Lindsey Graham is upset? Mean old Harry Reid had pwomised him an energy bill (dead on arrival) first before pwomising him an immigwation bill! Then he switched it up! And now Lindsey Graham is so upset that he says they don’t need [...]
Self-described immigration law “liberal” Bill Kristol has read (!) the new Arizona immigration law and determined that it is Not Draconian. Then he did some Math, and look, it’s just a handful of taco trucks that may get screwed, not much else.
IS THIS A PROTEST FOR OR AGAINST THE LAW? “The conflict over a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration in Arizona intensified Monday as vandals smeared refried beans in the shape of swastikas on the state Capitol’s windows.” No no that was just Nazi Lou Dobbs playing with his poopy. UPDATE: We have replaced the funny [...]
Well, she did it, people! It was such a great idea of Obama’s to park ex-Gov. Janet Napolitano in the powerless Homeland Security Department, out of all the possible candidates. Now this Republican lady, Jan Brewer, who seems hilarious (Arizonans: share stories!), has signed a bill to destroy her state by making it a misdemeanor [...]
Despite its complete dependence on Big Government welfare water schemes and its many scenic environmentalist locations and plentiful Mexicans, Arizona has been America’s Wingnut Paradise for half a century. But by the 1980s, even Barry Goldwater was too subtle for the modern wingnut’s taste, so used-car salesman Evan Mecham served as governor for just 15 [...]
Oh right, there was *another* march on the Capitol yesterday, too. It was about Shamnesty, the Irish-Hispanic effort to have lazy Mexicans steal all the white people’s jobs picking lettuce in Yuma and separating the chicken feet at the poultry-blood factory in Sadness Falls, Iowa.
We’re so glad that Lindsey Graham is leading the immigration reform push again, in this latest attempt to seal our terrible borders and treat illegal Mexicans humanely while still Punishing them. This is called GRAHAMNESTY GRAHAMNESTY GRAHAMNESTY and we wish Lindsey Graham were actually serious about doing it, instead of just using it as lame [...]
Iowa Rep. Steve King, the #1 asshole in Congress, is exhibiting the more compassionate side of his asshole today (gross) in response to the Haitian crisis. Like many wingnuts, Steve King does not support granting temporary protected status (TPS) to undocumented Haitians living within the United States — a.k.a. he don’t support none dem Mexicans [...]
GRRR, BARACK OBAMA MAKEY SO ANGRY! Now let’s compare this Fox headline to a grown-up’s headline: “Obama halts deportations of undocumented Haitian immigrants, urged to grant ‘protected status.’” So what Obama is doing, at the urging of most rational, humane people, is halting Haitian deportations during a humanitarian crisis back in Haiti. It’s a fairly [...]

WIN OF THE AFTERNOON: Is it too early to win the afternoon? Not in Wonkette’s America! Regarding Arizona’s special new immigration law, Wonkette commenter “Hopey don’t play that game” writes: “In other news, Dora the Explorer was detained this morning in Arizona. Apparently that backpack doesn’t contain everything.”
