$30,000 to pay bail on those who would attempt to steal citizenship....
A fool and his money... Some people are just begging to become victims in life.

I reserve the right to hope you don't.
“The Border Patrol’s actions are “hurting good people, even if they are undocumented,” said the Rev. Raymond Heffernan, priest at Friday Harbor’s St. Francis Catholic Church.”
“Undocumented” A term dreamed up and dictated to his misadministration as the preferred mention of “Illegals” by Jimmy Carter during his rein of ineptitude.
“I’m really thankful our community helped us because if not for them, we wouldn’t be back,” Guadalupe said. “It’s in God’s hands. We just hope someday there’s a way for us to be legal.”
Coulda, shoulda, done it legally in the first place.
We visited the island last summer on our great NW tour. We rode the ferries a lot and had no problems. It is a great little island and the natives were very friendly.
We never saw a Border Patrol till on our way back from Canada on the Amtrack Cascade. They boarded the train at the border and were very polite to us. They had some questions about my cigars and accepted my answer that I was too cheap to buy Cubanos and instead traveled with my own stash of legal sticks.
Friday Harbor, the terrorist hotbed..
The Feds are obviously working the choke points here, & the islanders are clearly supporting the illegals on the island, so they probably deserve the extra scrutiny.
But detaining & questioning ARRIVING passengers of domestic public transport really bothers me. If terrorism were the reason, wouldn't it be prudent to question people BEFORE they get on the ferry?
Knowing how our gov’t programs start small, but quickly balloon into monsters, this sort of thing seems to be inching us closer to a police state - “Your papers, please!”.
Our gov’t allows our southern border to stand open for thousands of illegals to cross. Their solution, so far as publicity & media exposure is concerned, is to disrupt domestic transportation & business to catch the illegals already here.
Will buses, trains, subways, & ferries soon be like airport re. security? Get there 2 hours beforehand, & leave the liquids & under-wire at home! Why raid businesses to catch illegals, when huge gangs of them terrorist urban America?
I want as much as any FReeper to rid this country of illegals & thwart terrorism. But the gov’t seems to prefer instituting a police state w/i our borders, rather than securing the borders first. If you continue to let them come in, in droves, wont that require more & more internal security? And to be “fair” & avoid “discrimination”, shouldn't we ALL be searched & questioned as we go about our daily business?
