LUNAcy

If you've not yet heard the name Salvador Luna, the link above will give you enough information about him to come to loathe him in no time at all. Previously convicted of child molestation, deported, he came back to this country and was arrested last year for DUI - the judge gave him probation. Now he has been arrested after his 3 year old niece was found bruised and bleeding - the result of a sexual assault.

The geniuses we've elected to Congress tried to shove an amnesty bill down our throats, but the American people made their feelings known and it went no where. Now they're back in session and the main focus of the majority will be witch hunting, finger pointing and nitpicking, and the minority will be focused on making sure obstructionism does not become a forgotten art.

Meanwhile, our borders remain unsecured, our hospitals-schools-emergency services-jails, etc. continue to be overburdened by illegal aliens, and we foot the bills.

If one is to overcome inertia, a force must be employed. When you have equal, opposing forces, you still get no where, so a common starting point of agreement should be foremost in our considerations. Why not keep it simple, like your golf swing is supposed to be, and just enforce the laws that are on the books. Some of our more liberal states have instructed their state police forces "don't ask - don't tell" - we should all be familiar with that by now. These "sanctuary" entities, at what ever level of government, are illegal.

What's the situation in Lewis County? Jefferson County? Are officers given any type of instruction regarding illegal aliens, or is the question of resident legal status just ignored?

If anyone has answers they'd care to share, please post away - I'd love to hear from you.

The employers who knowingly use illegals should be brought to justice as well. Seems like a common sense approach doesn't it? Well not as far as the ACLU is concerned. They sought and received an injunction that prevents Homeland Security from sending notices to employers regarding the employment of persons with fake Social Security cards. The letters were to inform them that they would be subject to prosecution if they knowingly employed persons with false Social Security cards - but the ACLU, with the blessings of the AFL-CIO no doubt, found a Clinton appointee known for her liberal rulings and the injunction was granted.

I have no doubt it will be overturned, as many rulings that come out of the 5th District are, but this is the kind of lunacy that allows animals like Salvador Luna to prowl the streets of America, and our politicians are doing nothing to make things right.

My old man used to wear steel-toed boots to work at Payne-Jones in Lowville - you know it now as Fibermark. Perhaps the real starting point for this problem would be for Americans from across the country to all don a pair of steel-toed work boots, take a convoy of buses to Washington D.C., and give each and every one of our representatives a good, swift kick in the ass. Regardless of race, creed, color, or gender, they'd each take an ass kickin' if it meant they'd be re-elected.

In this country, our steel-toed boots are usually found in the voting booth. If immigration means anything to you, it might be a good idea to take a real close look at where your candidate stands on the issue.
