Missed that part, but saw his dressing down of a reporter as to why we need to be in Iraq…he did well.
As for this not fitting the definition of ‘amnesty’ in Vernon’s Law…rhetoric can justify anything, that’s why I call it Shamnesty!

So, has Trent Lott been bought and paid for by those that profit from illegal aliens and keeping wages artificially low?

#1-Yes.

#2-Yes.
1+2=He wants something, that the American public can’t give him, only big government.
I heard Sen. Lott on the radio this morning, I think it was a sound bite from last night. At least we now know when public opinion polls don’t effect what congress critters think or do. It’s when they want something so badly for their own personal reasons.

There’s an interesting article in Small Wars Journal about Iraq and the Americas: Three GEN Gangs Lessons and Prospects that is very interesting. It compares the terrorism in Iraq to the gangs in central and south America, and increasingly, here.

From a 3 GEN Gangs perspective, Iraq has been essentially overrun by 3rd generation gangs and their criminal-soldier equivalents. This is reminiscent of the nightmare scenario for the US already starting to develop in Central and South America (and, to a lesser extent, within the US) with the emergence, growth, and expansion of Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and other Maras. In many ways, the ‘Gangs of Iraq’ are a prelude to the ‘Gangs of the Americas’ that we will be increasingly facing in the Western Hemisphere.

Gangs emerge, prosper, and solidify their position as a viable social organizational form in housing projects, neighborhoods, prisons, slums, cities, urban regions, and even entire countries that have undergone (or are undergoing) varying forms of societal failure. The rise of newer forms of tribalism leading to gang emergence may be derived from combinations that include lack of jobs, high levels of poverty and drug abuse, low educational levels, an absence of functional families, along with high levels of crime and lawlessness, including that generated by domestic internal strife, which result in a daily threat of bodily injury. Further, newer forms of tribalism may readily mingle with older pre-existing forms of tribalism based on kinship, clan, and other extended family groupings.

As I said, interesting reading, and those that are inclined to encourage the government to go about disarmament of the citizens (and unprotected borders, and unlimited immigration) might want to think about the consequences.

What few will admit is that in order for illegal immigration to remain profitable it must continue. The guy that picks lettuce this year will move on to waiting tables next year. The guy waiting tables this year will move on to working hotels or framing houses. Those people have to be replaced. If they aren’t suddenly we have wage competition. Minimum wage is no longer an issue and the union wages tied to the minimum wage are frozen.
The number of taxpayer subsidized works levels off. Bad for bureaucracies

Well, we American citizens have been there, done that, and had more illegals coming in. Doing more of the same (rewarding lawbreakers) it incredibly stupid.

Uh huh. Meanwhile, an American citizen finds it increasingly difficult to get a job as a landscaper, a painter, a framer, a roofer….and I could go on and on and on.

Rasmussen Poll.
America couldn’t be any more clear or louder for W and congress to hear.
See y’all later.

Drive-by.
If this is the best the administration can do with a Dhimmicrat congress, then I’m all for walking away from it. If W really wanted to, he could instruct all agencies and bureaus to enforce the laws on the books, stringently, we don’t need another layer of laws that go unenforced, while making more like 33 million lawbreakers legal residents. Every twenty one years, since 1965, we have given amnesty, with promises of greater enforcement, and we haven’t gotten it. What we’ve gotten is more stealth amnesty added in between those years.

The amnesty of 1986 was supposed to be a “one time only” amnesty. Yet since 1986, Congress passed a total of 7 amnesties for illegal aliens:

1. The Immigration and Reform Control Act (IRCA) Amnesty of 1986 - the “one-time only” blanket amnesty for some 2.8 million illegal aliens.
2. Section 245(i) The Amnesty of 1994 - a temporary rolling amnesty for 578,000 illegal aliens.
3. Section 245(i) The Extension Amnesty of 1997 - an extension of the rolling amnesty created in 1994.
4. The Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) Amnesty of 1997 - an amnesty for nearly one million illegal aliens from Central America.
5. The Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act Amnesty (HRIFA) of 1998 - an amnesty for 125,000 illegal aliens from Haiti.
6. The Late Amnesty of 2000 - an amnesty for approximately 400,000 illegal aliens who claimed they should have been amnestied under the 1986 IRCA amnesty.
7. The LIFE Act Amnesty of 2000 - a reinstatement of the rolling Section 245(i) amnesty to an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens.

Mr. Chertoff had better consult govt. figures. According to Thomas Sowell
[quote] Even in the sector of the economy in which illegal immigrants have the highest representation — agriculture — they are just 24 percent of the workers. Where did the other 76 percent come from, if these are jobs that Americans won’t do?

The argument that illegal agricultural workers are “making a contribution to the economy” is likewise misleading. [/quote]

Sean Penn, as with any actor, is not one for letting reality get in the way. By trade, they are paid to pretend to be something or someone they aren’t.

I will say, AQ is getting better at the PSYOP and Information Operations Campaigns. Our military needs to step up our own IO to counter it.
