You're not saying that the police/real estate/bankers, etc. actually ask people to "see their papers" now, are you?

The City of Hazelton, PA, passed a provision that does just that. If someone is going to sign a year lease, it makes sense that they can demonstrate they can be here legally that entire year.

I'm curious - are you this aghast at Bush bending wiretapping guidelines for national security purposes? I'm not, because during extraordinary times, such steps are necessary. I've seen you defend Bush doing such as well.

Well, we've basically ignored illegal immigration for 20 years. So this problem also calls for extraordinary measures. How many people have been killed by illegal drunk drivers since 9-11, just for starters? I would venture that number is in the thousands as well.

So, once again, I'd say you are the one with situational ethics problems.

I'm just appalled at a door to door sweep of Mexicans just because they're Mexicans.

Call me whatever you must, but I just think anybody who supports that is not living in the real political world.

So you don't mind having to show papers also?
