Oh, I get it: it’s Washington’s fault that those wetbacks are such a slippery bunch. MSNB reports:
EL PASO, Texas – For all the tough talk out of Washington on immigration, illegal immigrants caught along the Mexican border have almost no reason to fear they will be prosecuted.
Ninety-eight percent of those arrested between Oct. 1, 2000, and Sept. 30, 2005, were never prosecuted for illegally entering the country, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal data. Those 5.2 million immigrants were simply escorted back across the Rio Grande and turned loose. Many presumably tried to slip into the U.S. again.
Now, it might be a bit of a problem finding room for 5.2 million new inmates in our already over-crowded prisons, but we can always put them to work building new ones. Of course, then they’ll be stealing jobs from you and me.
What’s a xenophobic, fascist police state to do? I mean, what’s this country coming to when you can’t lock people up without putting decent, honest, hard-working American out of work.
