A great line from a great movie. Unfortunately, it is getting to be a bit silly. The Posturing in Washington, that is. Our great representatives in Washington have come up with a NEW immigration bill. It seems like our government keeps drawing a line in the sand in Texas. Then, after a bit of time, they take a step back and draw a new and improved line. A little more time elapses and a wonderful sweeping reform line is drawn after a step backwards.
This last line is ridiculous! Think of it: "Ok, you got away with it. Now, turn yourselves in, pay a $5000 fine and we'll just forget this unfortunate incident ever happened." I have some thoughts that may only interest me...
1. They are breaking the law. Let's just enforce it.
2. They are breaking the law, why in the world would they turn themselves in? Why not keep breaking the law - it's cheaper?
3. They are breaking the law, why would we think they will all of a sudden comply?
4. They are breaking the law.
I've got another idea (though I must admit didn't originate with me). Go ahead and let it happen. Just make sure that every CITIZEN gets the opportunity to break a law without a penalty of more than $5000. I'll go ahead and pay my $5000 and choose not to pay taxes again...
This bill is TOTAL CRAP!
