Support 'Operation Wetback'! Call Congress NOW!

I took this picture when in Arizona last week, this is the front of a newspaper stand just to the side of a supermarket chain out there.

The --God part was especially amusing.

1. If this weren't in Arizona, I might think that was satire.

2. Apparently the previous version was "Operation Return to Sender" but I suspect it was too obscure

for the target audience.

Exodus 22:21: Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.



Hear that sucking sound? That is everyone who is moderate, on the fence, progressive, latino or opposed to xenophobia turning on the republican party. Let the GOP descend into a spiral of xenophobia and cultural exclusionism. Soon they will have pushed out well over 51% of the public from their 'in' group. When that happens they will not have the power to enforce any of these agendas.

That is assuming that isn't satire.

4. I really don't think it was satire

It was 22 miles from the Mexican border. On the inside of a highway checkpoint towards Phoenix.

7. I don't think it's satire, either.

I live in Arizona - red and racist all the way. Between Sheriff Joe and Andrew Thomas (Maricopa County Attorney), what do you expect?

10. It's not satire

I live in Az and unfortunately that's a prevalant attitude here.

6. Yes Jesus surely hates Mexicans.

8. There actually was an Operation Wetback under Ike.

See how far we have progressed?

By the way, despite being a crime against humanity, it didn't solve any actual problems.

12. Yeah that was pretty bad. I was just to post about that. Probably one of the more

deplorable things our government has done domestically since the Japanese Internment.

9. Ahem...Exodus 22:21: You shall not wrong an alien, neither shall you oppress him, for you were alien

EXODUS 22:21-24

21 You shall not wrong or oppress an alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt. 22 You shall not abuse any widow or orphan. 23 If you do abuse them, when they cry out to me, I will surely heed their cry; 24 my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children orphans.


Remember this passage next time you hear some fundy whining about how the "illeegulz" should be stripped of their rights and deported, or about how aliens shouldn't have civil rights.

I never fail to be amazed at the number of Christians who don't read their own holy book.

The "real" God speaks.
