re: #12 Killgore Trout

Hmmm, the wingnut blogs are having a lot of fun comparing the peaceful Tea Parties to the more physical protests of the Arizona immigration law protests. Not that I’m excusing anything happening in Phoenix but there’s a big difference; The Arizona protests are actually against real oppression.

The Arizona law is a piece of utter stupidity.
And I’m not one who believes we ought to round up all the illegals here and ship ‘em back; I think we need bigger allowances for legal immigration from Mexico, a workable guest worker program, and much faster processing of immigration requests, along with border enforcement.

But there’s also no doubt in my mind that the citizens in Arizona (and perhaps other places, as well) feel they are under seige. The protection of our borders is a federal responsibility, and our leaders, going back YEARS, have failed us in that responsibility. And if that continues, I’m afraid other states will try to take it upon themselves to do something about it.
