An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Lobbying For Criminals
Tennessee businesses lobby for amnesty for illegal immigrants
While Tennessee’s lawmakers work to make state immigration policy as tough as Arizona’s, Tennessee businesses and professional groups are lobbying to make life easier for immigrants.
The new law breaking slave owners, eh? First off…the key word here is ILLEGAL!
not according to or authorized by law : unlawful, illicit;
Since these businesses see cheap labor in the form of illegals, I’d say these businesses should be shut down. Slavery was outlawed a long time ago.
The Nashville Music Association union, Tyson Foods and the National Pork Producers Council, with a local office in Rutherford County, all lobby for immigration reform that would raise the cap on worker visas. They also want to create a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with raising the number of worker visas, for skilled labor, under most circumstances. Considering this state has a higher than average unemployment rate, wouldn’t it be a real good idea to make sure everyone in the state who wants/needs a job be given first shot at any jobs? There is already a path to citizenship….it’s called obeying the law. Why should sneak thieves be rewarded for breaking the law when so many others have followed the rules, taken the correct route, and done what has been asked of them to become citizens. Do we really want MORE criminals in the country? Don’t we already have enough of our own? Just look at D.C. That town is FULL of criminals!
The Arizona law would have required non-citizens to carry identification papers at all times and required police to check the immigration status of anyone suspected of being in the U.S. illegally. But a federal judge blocked most of its provisions on Wednesday, hours before they were to take effect. The state has appealed and the case may end up in the Supreme Court.
Well, guess what Skippy! FEDERAL law requires “non-citizens to carry identification papers at all times”!
United States Code – TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part VII > § 1304
(e) Personal possession of registration or receipt card; penalties
Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to him pursuant to subsection (d) of this section. Any alien who fails to comply with the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction for each offense be fined not to exceed $100 or be imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both.
I really, REALLY, wish these people would read the bloomin’ bill! It’s only 17 pages, and is quite simple. No real big words, so even the pro-ILLEGALS should be able to understand. If y’all come across a few, dictionaries come in real handy.
If you want to get annoyed, go ahead and read the whole column. It never ceases to amaze me that there are so many people in this country who still don’t understand the concept of LAWS!
Well, by God, it’s good to see you doing some serious blogging… And right on target too! Nothing wrong with taking a break, but the cut and paste isn’t YOU, folks read Ol Broad for Ol Broad…
Keep hammering, and give em hell ate!
Uh… KATE dammit, KATE…
Well, I thank ya! Getting harder and harder m’friend.
Not the copy and paste. LOL That’s fairly easy. 
Illegal immigrants,you are behind in the latest terminology.
“Undocumented” no longer makes the cut. Illegals are now “displaced foreign travelers”
In the Forest Service’s news release about the recent string of marijuana busts,we discover a term never encountered before:
“During the raid, a U.S. Forest Service K-9 team located Gauldry Almonte-Hernandez, a displaced foreign traveler from Michoacán Mexico, who had tried to flee the area and hide while officers were performing entry into the marijuana garden”
“Displaced foreign traveler”? Makes it sound like he meant to go to Disneyland, got lost, and ended up at a pot plantation in the woods .
Slavery was outlawed a long time ago.
……………………………
More in the latest terminology.
Slavery has a new name: “Mandatory Service”
Introduced by Rep.Rangle of ethics fame.
H.R. 5741 will give the president the authority “To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other purposes.”
I’d like to displace a few jaws! What an absurd term for a freakin’ criminal!
