If you want on or off this list, let me know.

You should know by now that the Anti-American Civil Liberties Union is a hypocritical, America-hating organization. Anyone who would help or support them has tapioca for brains.

If Hazleton's effort to curb illegal immigration by usurping federal authority was unlawful,

I guess it must follow that it's unlawful for states and cities to go after drug pushers for the same reason.

(Not that I support the War on Drugs.)

Facing a severe budget deficit that would render it unable to afford to meet its obligations to its own citizens, the city is issuing ID cards to anyone who asks for one and is able to prove residency. The idea is to help illegals open bank accounts so they don't have to rely on cash transactions and, more broadly, to bring them into the open as contributing members of society.

Am I the only one to see the dishonest trap here?
By failing to qualify "residency", it renders all the U.S. immigration laws null and void by virtue of inaction on the part of the Federal government.
This power can never be a "local" one, no matter how "well-intentioned". Two wrongs still don't make a "right".

For a minute there, I was excited that the town was asking its legal residents to voluntarily prove legal status, since doing the "reverse" hurts the feelings of the illegal criminals and, presumably, Judge Munley.

Let the “far, far better thing (we) do than (we) have ever done before” be the deportation of 25,000,000 illegal aliens...

From GlennBeck.com:

MAYOR BARLETTA: And a federal judge has granted that. And, you know, he made the claim that by removing illegal aliens, we will effect foreign alliances.

GLENN: That’s not his job.

MAYOR BARLETTA: That we should have contacted foreign countries to ask them if it’s okay to remove illegal aliens.

GLENN: He did not say that. Wait, wait, wait, wait. He did not say that.

MAYOR BARLETTA: I was asked during the trial when I was on the stand if I had called President Calderon to tell him about this ordinance before we passed it. And in the judge’s decision he said, by removing illegal aliens, we will effect foreign alliances.

GLENN: Let me tell you something. Anybody who said Mex-Ameri-Canada, that I was crazy for Mex-Ameri-Canada, here it is. We are now asking permission if we can enforce our own laws here? What was your response to him? MAYOR BARLETTA: I laughed. I thought the joke was a lighter moment in the trial, but the ACLU attorney was serious and obviously the judge agreed because he felt that we should have checked with other countries before we passed this law.

The judge also made the claim that the federal government wants some illegal aliens to remain in the country, that the government wants a balance, by closing off the border but allowing some illegal aliens in the interior. Now, I don’t know what law in this country of America said that we want illegal aliens to remain in the interior of the country, and this judge obviously was imposing his own views, and we need...

This judge needs to be disbarred.
