Back in California sheriff departments that used to actively seek out and deport illegals now fly around in helicopters looking for marijuana crops. They always seem to miss the big growers, but if you've got 15 plants out back they'll swoop down on you like there's a homing beacon out there. Then as they proceed to dismantle your life they'll explain that they really don't like to do it but they need the federal funds and besides you knew it was against the law. Anyway your property will make a nice addition to the Sheriff of Nottingham's estates.
Meantime there's fifty illegals sitting outside the local Home Depot that seem to be invisible to anyone with a badge.
As far as Brown goes, he ran a poor campaign, but I voted for him anyway, because to vote for a Democrat would just be wrong. There are a lot of people around here that are Republicans and spent all of today celebrating Kerry's defeat that voted for Schweitzer, however.
I concur 100% with you there. I was disappointed in Brown's poor campaign style. but I voted for him anyway. Had I voted for Schweitzer or any other candidate, would have been voting against my principles. Brown would have made a great Governor, but again, he ran a poor campaign.
