Small Pennsylvania city bans illegal immigrants

How far we have fallen. To have to have a law to declare illegal aliens illegal, to have to have a law which declares marriage to be between a man and a woman. To jail our own soldiers for defending themselves in battle..... the list goes on....

The most frightening aspect is the large numbers of people who support illegality, redefining something as basic and simple as marriage and attempting to prosecute soldiers for following their training and protecting their country!

Zook wants to rent a two bedroom apartment to 15 illegals and charge each $150.00 a month.

It is a crying shame and even some of the so called conservatives around here don't even seem to get it!

Finally, city leaders with guts enough to say "enough is enough" to criminals.

Opponents argued it was divisive and possibly illegal...

Hmmm. So it's illegal to declare something that's illegal as illegal?

Ditto that. It's pathetic to what this country has sunken. I've suggested to both of my children not to have children. In 56 years, I don't recognize America as she was long ago when I was a child.

It's not unconstitutional. It's based on status and not national origin.

This will make the pro-illegals apoplectic.

"Opponents argued it was divisive..."

That's the new curse of the Left: "It's DIVISIVE! You're being DIVISIVE! WAAAAAA!"

I'm waiting for the day a conservative calls them on it: "You can take your 'divisive' crap and SHOVE IT UP YOUR A**, LEFTIE!"

Divisive? He**, yes, I'm divisive; want to make something of it?

[ArmstedFragg]

Every time I hear that "divisive" routine, I'm reminded of Lyndon Johnson launching into his "come, let us reason together" routine. He always presented it as an appeal to calm dialog, and somehow never got around to mentioning that the second part of the quote is something to the effect of "I'll smite your a** if you don't agree with me".

The only cure for divisiveness is to force everyone to think alike. Which is, of course, an idea the left clings fondly to.

"That's the new curse of the Left: "It's DIVISIVE! You're being DIVISIVE! WAAAAAA!""

Same with the word "COMPROMISE" meaning "you conservatives should cave in and give us what we want."

[ArmstedFragg]

Odd, isn't it, that the word "compromise" always comes up in more or less the same situations where the word 'truce' comes up with jihaddists?

Essentially, it means they've realized they're losing so they're offering to take only half of what that they're not entitled to instead of all of it.

It would be far simpler if the federal government would create laws similar to this that covered the whole country.

Hmm. What would that tautologic law look like? "Those who are illegally in this country may not live or work here."

[CottonBall]

Now that's funny, no one's held to laws but the legal American citizen.

Ironic, isn't it? Sad.
