1 But Marcia Coakley said it wasn't illegal to be an illegal in Massachusettes.  My brain hurts.

O/T -- From the Another One Bites the Dust File. Thaddeus McCotter is one of nine repubs who have signed on for the union pension bailout fund.  (via Gateway comment) 

Shame on you 9 Republicans:

Jo Ann Emerson (MO)Â…married to a big union lawyer
Patrick Tiberi (OH)
Steven LaTourette (OH)Â…thin skinned.
Ginny Brown-Waite (FL)
John Linder (GA)
Thaddeus McCotter (MI)
Peter Roskam (IL)
Tim Murphy (PA)
Aaron Schock (IL)Â…a member of the “Republican Study Committee” club in the House, and supposed to be a staunch conservative????? Aaron is in one of the most entrenched union districts of all, in IllinoisÂ…Caterpiller union workers are one of his biggest contributors. Hmmm. 

3 Vote for it but not be happy about it? So, he was against it before he was for it? Must be nice to be on both sides of an issue, takes real courage, like the courageous John Kerry (who served in Vietnam)

4 Soooo, does this mean I have to move out of my public housing now???

HAHAHA, nah, of course it doesn't!

5

Steven LaTourette (OH)

That's a big disappointment; not sure wtf led to that....

6 Oh boy!  Obama's "auntie" may end up in the White House yet.  Seeing as she is in 'public housing' and is an illegal alien.  Unless Barry intends to throw her under the bus and send her home.  Hell, he's already got the Missus and her mother living there.

7 Senator Frederick E. Berry, a Peabody Democrat, complained that one of the Republican sponsors acted like the "Patriots had just won the Super Bowl. ... I am going to vote for it, but I donÂ’t think we ought to rejoice."

--It's like the weather, or rape.  If it's inevitable you might as well relax and enjoy it.

It's fucking time to deal with illegal immigration and the plan is NOT amnesty. It's enforcement with the goal of illegal immigrants self-deporting when they find they can't get jobs or welfare benefits. There are 140,000 illegal immigrants in the MA workforce taking jobs from unemployed MA citizens. We need a governor that will mandate E-Verify for every job and every business and audit businesses that tend to hire illegal immigrants or workers under the table. That governor is NOT Patrick!

9 yaaay! Massechussets is racist again! I'm so excited that I can't remember how to spell Massachussetts!

10 Just wait. It'll be declared unconstitutional like Prop 187.

What's that you say? They're not in the 9th District?

Hope springs eternal!

11

Clearly, you don't get it.

It's only racist Republicans support measures out of conviction. If Democratic pols support the same measure in a cynical bid to keep themselves in power, its just them doing what is necessary to appeal to the great racist mass that  is Amerikkka.

Just look at Bill Clinton: he passed the Defense of Marriage Act and welfare reform, executed a mentally retarded man (who happened to also be black) and codified discrimination of gays in the military via an act of congress, but he felt really, really bad about it so it was OK. Same thing here.

12 I was racist before all these people jumped on the bandwagon.

Just when there is a little hope of gaining ground against the socialist agenda, we get some weak kneed pussies going with the statist flow. Makes me want to have some more liquor. And puke.

14 When is Arizona gonna boycott Taxachusetts? ....and is 'boy'cott a racist word?

15 Barry in the White House:  "It's SPREADING!  I knew it would!  Damn!"

Hey Rum! Come visit this summer and kick some azz! 
I can't understand the problem some people have with deporting illegal aliens. The financial and social cost to this country is staggering. Is there another country in the world that would allow itself to be invaded in this manner? I think not.

If Deval can tear himself away from his estates in Milton and the Berkshires, a good exercise for him would be live in Arizona for a year. Let him live among the ordinary citizens, have his children attend public schools, take public transportation and just enjoy the flavor of the mass invasion.

If we have an insufficient number of State Police to cover these extra duties, hire some more. The money spent on additional police would be a drop in the bucket to what we spend on all the needs of illegals.

I notice that the wealthy communities are the first to support illegals. Needless to say they don't have illegals living in their communities as they are too expensive. The only illegals they come across are those they've hired to do their lawns or roofs. Hey, throw Americans under the bus.

Cambridge is a great example of an illegal haven city. Do they actually believe that illegals could afford to live in their city? What a joke.

I see no reason why the police aren't given the power to determine a person's status. They are the ones on the street and are in more direct contact than the Federal Government. Aren't we really talking about searching a database? Come on, how hard is that? Let's stop the flow of illegals in our state and across the country. We need to also stop all state and federal aid to these people. Let's make it too difficult for them to live here that they go home and let's fine the bejesus out of those who hire them.

17 SiM, I'd come visit if I could. Sadly I'm too busy being a tax slave working and already am pushing it with a two week unpaid vacay.

God knows CA is in deep shit largely because of our illegal populations. Whoops, that was racist of me for pointing that out.

18 If enforcing immigration law is in vogue in the land of the Mass-holes, it can be done anywhere.

Make it so!

19

General Obamy will have to step in and put a stop to this.

No need to read the bill.  It's stupid.

Major Holder will do the dirty deed of lynching the authors of the racist tripe.

20

"14 When is Arizona gonna boycott Taxachusetts? ....and is 'boy'cott a racist word?"

Hell, San Francisco and Los Angeles should boycott Massachussetts as well or risk being rank hypocrites. They won't of course. Like I said above, Massachusetts is passing immigration enforcement measures, but unlike Arizone, they feel REALLY BAD about it so it isn't racist, at least as far as the far gone nuts on the LA and SF City Counsel are concerned.

21
>>General Obamy will have to step in and put a stop to this...

Here's why:

Kidnap capital of the World: Mexico City.. #2? Phoenix, AZ.

Number of US casualties in Iraq: 4,300, since 2003. Number of Mexicans killed in "border drug war" since 2006: 23,000!

Number One supplier of narcotics to US of A? Mexico.

Principal users of narcotics in America? Take a guess: persons who voted for Obama? or McCain?

Amount of money removed from US economy by illegals working here, and sending it back to Mexico? Estimate: $21 Billion!

Put it together for a second. Mexico is a violent and out-of-control society whose lawlessness has now spread to AZ. The demand for drugs by American lowlifes has caused the slaughter of more than 4 times the soldiers fighting for our freedoms in Iraq. Mexico supplies the drugs. The cost of Mexicans in Mexico maintaining their families would be $21 billion higher if Mexicans in America weren't subsidizing the Mexican economy.

Ergo, Mexican politicians can't or won't prevent the drug trade; its profitable to their constituents and helps prop up their violent and disorganized economy. Mexican politicians do not want to end illegal immigration to America. The money returned to their economy keeps their taxpayers, such as they are, from having to support the Mexican recipients of the money sent back by illegals.

Its all about the money. Obama and the Dems will never interrupt the chain. They covet all Hispanic votes, and the drug users are their present constituents. Press one for English. Press 2 for Auntie Zeituni.

22 According to the proposed law's supporters, it "goes farther" than any other immigration law for the past five years.

This is not an "immigration law".  It has nothing to do with immigration.  This is a law that restricts services (though not nearly enough) to legal residents.  Big whoop.  Those here illegally have no rights to any services, at all.  They have no right to be here, at all.  And they aren't "immigrants".  They are just illegals - i.e. those not included in the Constitution's main job to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity", not to mention the fact that they injure and steal from the Liberty of "ourselves and our Posterity".

Yeah.  McCotter seems like he's okay and understands the role of government, but then he's totally in the tank for every bit of union thievery and idiocy that comes down the pike.  That's more than enough to make him a worthless shitrag.  He should go to hell with the unions he shills for.

24 OT, but I didn't get this on the earlier thread about the 80 year old army vet who shot an intruder. This is a GREAT story from an area near where I grew up. A pickpocket tried to steal money from a 72 year old man. Umm, former marine, retired ironworker, former golden gloves boxer. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19468669/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mafN9E6AR2Q The video is worth watching because at about :13 - 15 you can see a beautiful beatdown. The 72 year old delivered 6 or 7 hard punches to the 27 year old thief.

25 Yeah.  McCotter seems like he's okay and understands the role of government, but then he's totally in the tank for every bit of union thievery and idiocy that comes down the pike.  That's more than enough to make him a worthless shitrag.  He should go to hell with the unions he shills for.

Remember when I supported the $700 million to take care of protecting the wild horses and their territory _{(which conveniently happens to sit on a whole bunch of land containing abundant natural resources)}.

Or that time that I proposed tax breaks/subsidies for pet owners.

I may be pretty damn funny on RedEye, and talk a good limited govt. game, but sometimes I do some craaaazy things.

 "So, he was against it before he was for it?"

Oh no, it's even better...He was against it while he was for it.

 

27 yaaay! Massechussets is racist again! I'm so excited that I can't remember how to spell Massachussetts!

Massachusettes.

Technically the W.H. is own by the ctizens, thus making it a "publicly owned" building. And it is a house. We pay the upkeep. So auntie goony-go-go may wind up in beter public housing digs. I'm sure there is a racist joke in there somewhere.

29 Damn.  Getting a hat tip is like pulling teeth around here.

Heh.

30
We know it wuz you, incognito. Maybe the powers that be respected your 'handle'!

31 Does anyone here honestly think this law is going to be enforced? You forget our AG thinks it's legal to be "illegal".

32 Rage against the machine deplores "shak down" of odious bill,  "...the bill compels police officers to challenge anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant to prove their immigration status."

"Fans of our music, our stories, our films and our words can
be pulled over and harassed every day because they are brown
or black, or for the way they speak, or for the music they
listen to," de la Rocha wrote in an open letter. "This law
opens the door for them to be shaked down [sic], or even
worse, detained and deported while just trying to travel
home from school, from home to work, or when they just roll
out with their friends."

Translation: Send money.

33 THAT is a HEADY turn-around for a state that yesterday was a SANCTUARY state.

GOOD NEWS!

Time the state where some planes took off that crashed into NYC buildings began to take their duty to fellow CITIZENS more seriously than they do their desire to commit Treason by aiding and abetting the ENEMY of their own home soil!

34 Oh boy!  Obama's "auntie" may end up in the White House yet.  Seeing as she is in 'public housing' and is an illegal alien.

She is no longer an illegal migrant. Even under the previous order of deportation she was granted asylum. Our immigration law and policies have been stood on their head. There is no way possible she was in any political danger from her home country.

Yes we do need massive immigration reform, but I don't think the current load of communists in the congress would like my idea of reform.

35 There won't be enough to override the veto and the Dems can tell their constituents they 'tried'.

If so, they should take a past look at recent history. That is what the Republicans thought with McCain-Feingold. The Repubs thought (accurately) it was blatantly unconstitutional and the Supremes would kill it. Some voted for it figuring they were covered and Bush, even stated he thought it was unconstitutional, but signed it anyway.

In the end the idiots on the court upheld it.

Anyone, be they in congress or the President who says they think a law is unconstitutional and yet they approve it anyway should be removed from office post haste. In doing that they admit that they are violating their oath of office.

36 Since the GD spammers started dumping the page here has started locking up, even when you block all script. One wonders what these damn spammers are doing.

37 I find it curious that article doesn't mention the recent car accident Rep. Moran had with an illegal immigrant who then mocked the cops. I put up a post about it a few days ago. Honestly, this feels like a case of 'when it happens to one of us, then we'll take action.'

38 LauraW Don't worry, here in MA EVERYONE is laughing at his stupid ass. NO sympathy from anyone. BTW WHat's up with the site format? It's all effed up

39
Having strong immigration laws benefits all American citizens, natural born and newly admitted. We need a strong sovereign country, it seems that the powers at be want to destroy that. With all the unemployed Americans it makes sense that we provide jobs,benefits and housing to legal residents and American citizens only.
Moran needs to go - he "Supports illegal immigrants" *his words* - including the one who was a: driving without a license, b: driving drunk, c: caused an accident, d: tried to flee the scene, e: bragged that nothing would happen to him because he was going "home" to Mexico.

How much you want to bet he'll be back in a month?

LauraW..currently, local police departments in Massachusetts can enroll in a federal program that lets them enforce immigration laws.

But the only two agencies that have done so, Framingham police and the Barnstable SheriffÂ’s Department, both dropped out of the program last year.

Why wait for 6 months to be paid by the federal government for a court appearance when you could be working a traffic detail and get 8 hours overtime pay in your next paycheck?

40 Whoa - what's going on in MA? One of the bluest states first electing a Republican (even if he is kind of a RINO), and now this?

The Precedent better invade that place and lock it down; at this rate it will be red by November and positively CRIMSON with TRUE libertarians and conservatives in 2012.

Why, it's almost as if Massachusetts has started turning into the MA of t he 1770s...

41 I'd be interested to see what kind of loopholes are built into this. I'm guessing they're big enough to drive a truck through. (or at least an unregistered.uninsured,lowered Toyota with a $6000 stereo system)

As with anything custom, price is still a factor. While world sport jersey may be more expensive than regular paintball pants a few things should be considered. First, if a team is having custom jerseys and pants designed and manufactured at the same time, savings can be achieved by reducing design time since a lot of the design characteristics will be similar between the jersey and the pants. Second, with the availability of additional space for sponsors, the cost may be offset by the addition of more sponsors. Third, custom paintball pants allows a team to definitely stand out. Custom jerseys can still look similar from a distance. Two teams may have red and white in their design and though the soccer jersey are completely unique, from far away all that may be recognizable is a player wearing a red and white jersey with black pants. Now a team is able to have a custom uniform that is unmistakably distinguishing from any other team.
