Coupled with federal lawsuits against states that hope to enforce the very laws the feds are conspiring not to, this strategy seems nearly perfect for those hoping to artificially build up their client-state voter roles! Mark Krikorian, The Corner:
In the wake of last month’s DHS memo on how to create a de facto amnesty without congressional consent comes a similar “draft” proposal instructing local police to stop enforcing immigration laws. As reported by my colleague Jessica Vaughan, “According to a draft policy document now being circulated among a limited group of stakeholders, ICE chief John Morton intends to prohibit not only his officers, but also local officers with 287(g) immigration authority, from busting illegal aliens who are discovered as a result of traffic violations.” So that means we’ll go back to the situation where illegal aliens can drive illegally with impunity, like the Ft. Dix plotters, who were stopped 75 times by local police for traffic violations and never turned over to immigration.
Feel safer yet?
Not really, no. But I do have a sudden hankering for a churro. For what it’s worth.
I rather think I’d gain certain advantages if I renounced my citizenship and re-emigrated to the United States without the consent or approval of its government.
Cannot people be impeached/fired/jailed for actively subverting the laws that they took an oath to enforce and defend?
and what’s the piece of shit coward-ass U.S. government going to do when local cops tell it to go fuck itself?
I think if I got stopped 75 times for traffic violations I’d be in the pokey.
Keep your eyes on the ball, flatfeet.
have a tasty churro punkass government
Hey, churros con chocolate rocks.
In other news, I scored a Spotted Sandpiper yesterday, on video. I know you’re all thrilled for me.
sweet madre de dios that looks really tasty
Churros is that fried dough-tube thinger with sugar and cimmanon and whatnot?
If so, mmmmmmmm4
Churros
It’s astounding how often this blog affects my dinner plans.
I really do enjoy the Mexican coke you can get from those mobile taco trucks.
Coca Cola I mean.
So these guys were stopped 75 times and never whined about racial profiling? I think we should let the ACLU know.
Brilliant, bigbooner! Threadwinner, if you ask me.
From what I understand, Mexican Coke is the same as Kosher Coke that the Judaically-inclined get for Passover. Basically, it’s got cane sugar like they did it in the old days instead of HFCS.
One of my fondest childhood memories is pulling a 16oz glass bottle of Coke out of a cooler full of chipped ice, popping the top and enjoying the sweet sweet caramel-colored goodness inside. Mm mm mm mm MM!!!
Somehow they’ll drag out the Constitution on this topic to beat the opposition to their policies about the head and shoulders. That’s the only time the Constitution means dick to them, when they can use it as a cudgel.
BTW, the CrankyCudgel™ is currently on sale for 25% off. Buy now, buy many.
#13 – well done, sir!
Jeff, ironically this happens right when a memo in Chicago, pointing out the wallopers aren’t handing out enough traffic tickets to boost revenue comes to light… you think Chicago politicians view law enforcement…differently than the rest of us or something?
I think too much of law enforcement is a kind of self-interested fundraiser for municipalities.
But then, I’m anti-authoritarian like that. Plus, there’s a cop in my neighborhood whom I’ve been having a beef with, so I’m not terribly fond of people who carry citation booklets about with them just now.
I understand a churro goes well with falafels, which we also are being force fed these days.
And for the record, that would be the Egyptian falafels where they were invented.
I have two falafel places really near me Amir he makes the falafels and the new kosher place with the literature about Palestinian lies also makes the falafels – Amir puts lettuce in the pita why he does this I do not know and his sauce is green… my new jewish friends put the more traditional choppy chopped cucumbers in the pita and they use a spicy chili sauce. I like them both but spicy sorta wins out everytime with me.
Mmmmmm . . . falafels . . .
Consider your cupcakes, fatfleet.
I’m a cupcake free zone for a time mostly I just get them for meetings now but I only buy them ones I’ve tried before cause it causes me anxiety and pain to buy ones I never tried and give them away.
I need to do some process work on that.
criminalizing cupcakes how sad terribly sad what has befallen our socialist country.

Now that’s just nasty.
Can I get a link to a torrent?
and what’s the piece of shit coward-ass U.S. government going to do when local cops tell it to go fuck itself?
– Easy. They just sick the Justice department on any police infidels that try to interfere with their voter outreach campaigns.
– feets is obviously hiding something with the latest “don’t eat don’t tell” narrative.
75 traffic violations? Who taught them how to drive, Patrick Kennedy?
– No mortal human can resist the smooth rich “party in your mouth” goodness of a custard filled chocolate fudge icing cupcake.
Toasted ravioli is quite good. And Peruvian food.
Kabul House, JD – next time you come around my part of the world, I am taking you there and having you stuffed with mantu, kibili pillau and firnee.
I have to go to Marist next week, LtC John.
Toasted ravioli is quite good.
We call those pierogi where I come from.
100 bucks at 5 to 1 that over 100 Democrats lose their jobs in the House and Senate.
My winnings (and trust me, they will be ‘my winnings’) go to the Jeff G. Relief Fund. Any takers?
C’mon! You’ve read the expert analysis! 20 seats, MAX! That Benjamin is as good as in your hot little hand right now!
Oh, I have little doubt you are correct (or very nearly – my guess is 80 seats), what I might wager on is whether or not Queen Nancy Botox will give up the Speaker’s office when the Dems lose control of the House.
42 seats I think
the RNC is fags remember and that’s a lot unhelpful plus the media hasn’t gotten their marching orders yet
Nancy won’t have a choice in the matter. Now, if she will go out fighting, or after removing all the Rs from the keyboards, is another thing entirely
Was that a yes to the bet there, haps’?
(BTW, I’m talking about her roomy office suite in the Rayburn office building, not the Speaker’s gavel, she’ll give that up in the end, no matter how much she clings to it…).
I do hope for the spectacle of Nancy barricaded in her Speaker’s suite like the warden at the end of Shawshank, screaming in that uneven voice of hers that she’s “…not leaving because the hundred seats were STOLEN BY THE RABBLE!!!!”
I could do without her capping herself. She needs to be alive to see the complete and total discrediting of International Socialism she herself has engineered.
In other news, I scored a Spotted Sandpiper yesterday, on video. I know you’re all thrilled for me.
See. That’s the kind of nerdy stuff I like.
Is it a coastal bird?
I don’t believe I’ve seen one around lake Michigan.
nancy has gavel envy
“100 bucks at 5 to 1 that over 100 Democrats lose their jobs in the House and Senate.”
I’ll take 20 bucks of that action. 80 I can see; 100 would take more Americans growing brains and spines than anything since the Revolution.
It is a preposterous bet, and I am quite sure I will lose. The New York Times says that the losses for the Socialists will be in the 1 or 2 range. They may even pick up a few seats from crazed reactionaries like that Ryan fellow.
50 percent of the Democrats out of office? Never could happen to the ballot box stuffing party.
I don’t want to bet cause I don’t want to get vested in our little country’s fail process
Rusty, a map.
Then again…
NEW JOBLESS CLAIMS RISE TO 500,000…
maybe I’m low.
Pablo’s game for a rematch I’ll wager.
Mr. W you could lose somewhere on the order of 140 cupcakes which is probably more than I had my whole life
– I’ve got the Yankee’s and Padre’s in the world series, Pads to win in 7 (home field advantage will make the difference).
– feets isn’t saying a word about those “you know whats” starring him in the eye. But we know what he’s thinking.
#18 – yes indeed – the Chicago pols want the cops out raising revenue – not tryig to reduce the this-makes-Afghanistan-look-like-a-pacifists-meeting murder rate.
Yes, back the way we did it before we decide to mandate that sugar prices go through the roof and stay there. Now the insidious HFCS is in everything, and what we really need to do is tax the fuck out of those nasty, nasty sweetened beverages. FOR THE FAT CHILDREN™! It’s quite diabolical, really.
– Not to mention the cupcake lobby. That should be taxed unmercifully.
there’s cupcakes in the lobby?
I would love too see all the Dems go down. But they will be tougher than tou think. And of course those GOP candidates need to have a plan to go forward.
And if we are to beat Obama, we better find a decent candidate. No Huck, Newt, Palin, (For a variety of reasons I can’t see any of them beating Obama) probably no Mitt. Probably no Barbour. Chirstie was too green, too fat, and he fucked up on the 9-11 Cordoba House. which makes me doubt him ever I would still go with Fred, but that depends on Fred.
Sorry, Charlie. I’m seeing that in the realm of possibility. There’s an absolute fucking meltdown in progress, and I wouldn’t dream of estimating the damage until the smoke clears. I do learn my lessons, and the Haitians thank you. I’m eyeballing Barney hard, and if he gets sent packing, you’ll know the Great Awakening is upon us. Say a nice hello to Earl Sholley, won’t you?
Remember 2006. It wasn’t that the Dems had a plan, it was that America was pissed off with the GOP, and rightfully so. 2008 was more of the same. I don’t think I’ve ever seen America as aggravated as it is right now.
The GOP doesn’t need a plan so much. It needs fresh candidates that understand what it is they’re supposed to be doing. Once you have that, you have all the plan you need. “Get out of the way.” pretty much sums it up.
there’s cupcakes in the lobby?
– Whats wrong, did you miss one box?
vote cupcake this nov.
churros don’t need Social Security cause of they simply don’t live long enough to warrant it. cupcakes I can imagine expecting to live long enough, then being surprised when they don’t.
Yankees and Padres? You are high, sir. Very, very high.
– yeh, you’re probably right cranky, but damn its been a fun summer, pissing off the Eastern snob press and upsetting the best teams money can buy. The Yankee’s payroll is 5 times the Padre’s, who are in the bottom four teams in both leagues in that category.
– When we started the year, they said we were a “fluke”. Now they’ve just stopped talking about us at all. Helps a lot to have the best manager in the MLB.
– I just hope the opposition keeps trash talking about sweeping us in each series. Best incentive you could ask for.
sdferr, care to comment on the life expectancy of Twinkies? Because thems will blow up the actuarial tables real good… and survive the blast.
Seriously OT, but the NYT is discussing philosophy. Brian Leiter’s take..
‘Crisis of capitalism’, Brian? There would be no crisis if dirty socialisms hadn’t permeated this nation’s politics. Put that in your Rene Descartes skull-bong and smoke it.
Twinkies~!
What Brian Leiter is saying, here, is that any serious undergraduate philosophy major is smarter than he is.

Rusty, a map.
Oh! Cool!
I bookmarked that site.
Thank you.
I’m a casual birdwatcher. Usually when I’m outside doing something else, but I’ve never seen one of those.
care to comment on the life expectancy of Twinkies?
They are, for all intents and purposes, eternal.
They have only been manufactured once. For about seven months in the mid fifties. Every “Twinkie” sold and consumed since then has been from the original production run, which was many billions. The composition of “Twinkies” is a closely guarded government secret but it has been suggested that’petrolem byproducts’and ‘low level nuclear waste’are involved.
My Mexican wife (not to be confused with the American wife or the Costa Rican wife) ruined regular churros for me by telling me that it’s also slang for… well… anyway, let’s just say putting chocolate on it just made it worse.
Then I saw the churro machine going down in Nayarit and started to laugh, thinking I was on the wrong end of this deal, but I bit into mine and told my wife hers looked like the other “churro”. So I got to have two.
Revenge is sweet.
I made a batch last night and gotta say, easy peasy and tasty too. Sided ’em with espresso ice cream and couldn’t have been happier.
Rusty, or anybody else, if you live anywhere near Cape May, it’s worth the trip about this time of year and on into Oct-Nov to go see a piece of the hawk migration (not to mention the passerines becoming snacks) as it comes through the point.
