What are “Jimmy the Nose” and “Joey Bag of Cannoli” pushing up the concrete costs? Or are they factoring in the Teamsters kickbacks in the initial costs?
I wonder if they could use this same case to go after what’s left of obamacare. That’s a regulation cosplaying as a tax too. And like the NFA, the fee was eliminated in 2019.
Most of them have entered illegally, and some have been here 20+ years. Now they’re upset we’ve decided to actually enforce our own laws. I point to Thomas Sowell. He said this about blacks but it works in this context too: “when one is used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination”.
The thing the press likes to harp on is “You’re arresting people who don’t have warrants or have no convictions”. THE FACT THAT THEY ARE HERE is a criminal act! And under immigration law, that’s enough.
By some elements of the magisterium he’s really pushing it. It’s moments like this that show the Catholic church hasn’t completely forgotten they were once a temporal government. It would be better if they did. The spiritual and temporal don’t mix well together. I’m not talking about morality. I’m talking about Theocracy.
You see this sometimes with lifers. I bet there was some kind of behind the scenes financial promise to the cousin’s family if he copped to the killing. In exchange they would put money in his prisoner account to make his time more bearable.
