This is why it is a Good Thing so support LOCAL initiatives and fight the federalization of local PDs, no matter if it is the goofballs in Portland, Oregon, or the true patriots in New Ipswich.

[[On April 15 the New Ipswich police arrested Jorge Mora Ramirez, an illegal alien from Mexico. Chamberlain charged Ramirez with criminal trespass. State law states that a “person is guilty of criminal trespass if, knowing he is not licensed or privileged to do so, he enters or remains in any place.” Chamberlain says Ramirez, as an illegal alien, is not “licensed or privileged” to be in the state, and is therefore trespassing.]]

Outstanding! BRILLIANT Strategy!

New Ipswich is tiny, but is home to a very large concrete floor operation, which actually does work outside of New England as well as in the area.

There have been a lot of illegals apprehended in and around New Ipswich.

Green card checks, anyone?

In my little town, four illegals were arrested after they stole a truck.

Officer Opie put them in the county lockup.

IC&E took custody withion 48 hours, and they were out of the country in a week.

Can't we all just get along?

Sounds like the local Police will have to buy the illegal aliens a one way ticket back to their homeland to get them out of the country.

Well, we could just look to the US Constitution for guidance.

Article 13, which outlaws slavery, states as follows:

" Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Illegal aliens would probably be a lot less likely to come to America to find work if they knew that the work would be performed in the form of involuntary servitude at a penal facility, as punishment for their illegal entry. There they could truly be assigned to labor at tasks that "ordinary Americans didn't want to do".

They could even be leased out to the same landowners who employ them now. And at then end of their term of indenture, they could be paid "freedom dues" in the form of a paid one-way ticket home.

Look, we are a country of immigrants. I recently discovered that I know some of these guys. And they ain't bad people.

But that doesn't change the fact that we need to start getting serious about discouraging illegal entry, and that can't be left to the Minutemen, it has to come from policy.
