Don't codify bigotry (Barf alert on illegal aliens)
New Orleans Times-Picayune ^ | 4 May 08 | Times Picayune Editorial

Posted on 05/05/2008 9:16:49 AM PDT by LSUfan

When Lake Charles Rep. Mike Geymann pulled some ill-conceived bills on immigration enforcement last month, he promised to address critics' concerns before refiling them.

The changes he made failed to correct the flaws -- yet the bills sailed out of the House Committee on the Administration of Criminal Justice last week.

Lawmakers should recognize the widespread problems these proposals would cause, even for citizens and legal residents. The Legislature should reject the proposals. If not, Gov. Bobby Jindal should veto the bills.

“Bigotry”, my foot. >:-(

I applaud the LA lawmakers for ENFORCING THE LAWS CONCERNING ILLEGAL ALIENS. Good for them!! What is the big deal here??? Better to just leave things status quo (i.e. REWARDING BLATANT LAWBREAKING AND LAWBREAKERS WITH ENTITLEMENTS, ETC.) or to pass laws reinforcing current laws on the books AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO PROTECT ACTUAL LEGAL CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA???

Where does ‘bigotry’ come into play here? Puleeeeeeeze!!!!
This sort of ‘reasoning’ drives me crazy sometimes! >:-(

Can anyone tell me of any other country in the entire world that coddles illegal aliens like this author wants them to continue being coddled in America??

It's pretty disgusting alright and there are a number of people on FR who regularly use the bigot card to argue for amnesty.

That's why courts ruled unconstitutional a 2002 Louisiana law making it a felony to drive without proof of legal residency. The new proposals face the same hurdle.

In most states you can't get a driver's license without producing a birth certificate or other proof of residency so I don't understand that court decision.

I just got home from the tractor supply store in Jackson Michigan. While I was standing in the checkout line I noticed the big “13” tattooed on the back of the guy’s neck in front of me. His race was obvious but irrelevant, I’m just disgusted that we’ve allowed these gang terrorists to infect our country.

Get used to being called a bigot and a racist. It is the Rats’ first line of defense against illegal immigration enforcement.

The left has over played the ‘race card’ to the point it’s meaningless. When they say ‘bigot’, it usually means they don’t have anything to say, which is most of the time.

If you do not sit still and allow the third world to steal your home and ultimately slit your throat you are a bigot.
You should play nice like the South Africans.

You should have asked him if it was common in his country to tattoo their IQ on the back of their necks. Perhaps it is a cultural thing.

It's all they've got, LSUFan. They did away with any reasoned argument for the invasion long ago, because there isn't one.

1. Would he understand a question asked in English?
2. Would he know what IQ means?

These are the type of people none of our glorious presidential candidates want to exclude from amnesty.

Here are the Senators who voted against the Cornyn amendment , which would have established a permanent bar for gang members, terrorists, and other criminals looking to snag a shamnesty visa. Republicans underlined:

Well, one solution is to begin wearing buttons which read, "Bigot and Proud"...

If the perverts can do it...

'Don't codify bigotry'

Oh yeah. Well I'm a 'bigot' and I demand to be 'codified'. And it's my Right as a U.S. Citizen to be a 'bigot'. It's guaranteed in the Constitution that I can be a 'bigot', so there!

Wait ... I just want our laws enforced and respected by foreigners. All foreigners. Whatta ya call that?

Oh yeah a ... 'Nativist Racist'
Sorry, my bad.

That’s an excellent short list of America’s enemies in both parties. Why they continue being reelected is the mystery to me.
