.....

Not once has Obama forcefully said that the bill will be knocked down as unconstitutional.....Instead, this is how the bought-and-paid-for mind of our "constitutional law" professor-president works: a) Arizona and other states will pass fascist laws; b) We can do nothing about that; c) Therefore, we must pass our own fascist laws before they do it for us.

Biometric IDs. Militarized border up to our necks. Criminal checks. DHS personnel everywhere to detect document fraud. DHS personnel everywhere to monitor the entry and exit of every single person. A machine-like system the Nazis would have been proud of to INSTANTLY identify and deport anyone overstaying a legal visa. Just come after them, knock down their door, and take 'em out.

.....

Non-citizens undergoing deportation proceedings must inform the government of their location at all times....

Additional ports-of-entry will have enhanced connectivity to check fingerprint databases to screen out potential criminals. More will be done to let border patrol have the additional "tools" (whenever a government passes a fascist law, it's neutrally described as a tool--we're just trying to separate the criminal Japanese from the law-abiding ones: internment is just a tool), but they will be trained to avoid racial profiling. Sound like the justification of the Arizona law to you? The officers will be equipped with weapons...

As for the biometric identification card, "under no circumstances" will medical or personal or position-tracking information be coded. Very reassuring! .....Homeland Security will work with the Social Security Administration to ensure that the database for 300 million of us is perfectly accurate. You can count on it. Employers will be forbidden to practice discriminatory use of the system (appropriately called the BELIEVE system, as in George Bush's faith-based world).

There will also be a national birth and death registration system. You will not be able to die without being harassed. Unless you look like Elin Nordegren.

Criminal immigrants will pay to fund this whole system.

.....

A whole slew of government agencies will interfere with every aspect of getting and keeping a job--for all 300 million Americans--as the price of satisfying the bigots.

1. Talk about over the top
And I'm not talking about the proposed bill.

Deporting people who overstay their visa is Naziism now? Is that right?

Hard to take an article seriously when it writes, with no basis at all, shit like "just come after them, knock down their door, and take 'em out." Leave that kind of stuff to Glenn Beck and friends.

And if giving Border Patrol more personnel and military technology is "militarizing the border", then I'm all for militarizing the border.

2. Obama the racist bigot. Lol.
See how people who believe in enforcing laws are tarred and feathered?

3. Of course - controlling our own borders effectively is 'bigotry.'
You open-borders utopian dreamers need to find a new line. That old schtick don't play so well anymore.
