We are detaining Canadians? I smell BS.

Well they are in Texas. Probably crossed that famous US-Canadian border in Texas.

[Still Thinking]

I don’t know. The Canucks are pretty loose on their own immigration standards and will even let in somebody with a “Death to America Jihad” t-shirt. Whether they can easily get Canadian citizenship or not or whether the people in question have citizenship or not, I don’t know, but note the last name. Even so, my BS meter is twitching too.

I wish you could see me because right now is exactly what I look like when I couldn’t care less about something.

Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlán the Campus Anti-War Movement to End the Occupation and the Public Affairs Alliance for Communities of Color. The political organization aims to "promote the theory and practice of equality and social justice,"

Key to identifying leftist organizations: the group's name is longer than its stated goal.

I want to go to my school in Canada.

Send her to Canada! Do we have to kiss everybody's #ss that gets a chafe under their waist band.

My Give-A-Damn is so busted right now.....

I'm only nine years old. I want to go to my school in Canada.

Then why the hell are you in Texas??

The author of the piece brings up the Canadian angle...and then just drops it. I notice a comment posted at the end of the article that addresses this...but no one has responded to it.

And this has what to do with illegal immigrant detention?

[Psycho_Bunny]

Your "Give-A-Damn"?  Is that some sort of old school giveashitometer?

This article has mine pegged at 0.

Whoever thought up this name has way too much time on their hands and is NOT a friend of the US.

Check the names in this case: "Canadian" Kevin Yourdkhani and his parents, Majid Yourdkhani and Masomeh Alibegi, probably aren't fans of hockey or Moosehead.

*****Campus Anti-War Movement to End the Occupation****

I think they are talking about the United States occupying Mexican land which we call Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, etc.

As for the Canadians - they are talking about the entire tier of northing states plus Alaska.

We’ve been doing this occupying business for a long time, even before England, France, Spain, Russia and Portugal. It really is time we gave it all back. So they could occupy it.

Young Kevin's statement (.PDF) in the ACLU lawsuit, FWIW. They were flying from Guyana back to Canada when the plane had to land in TX for somebody else's medical emergency.

Why is the prison getting the blame? The blame should be placed upon the parents who lead their children into this prison. The parents should be charged with child endangerment, at the least.

They'll need it when they start making the t-shirts.

[jiggyboy]

Another guarantee that they’re commies is any mention of “social justice”, which is their code for socialism.

It really is time we gave it all back

I hope you meant this as a sarcasm

******It really is time we gave it all back

To think it other than sarcasm is to never have read any of my other posts on this board.
