Is the US CODE UNCONSTITUTIONAL?

US CODE TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part VIII > § 1325

§ 1325. Improper entry by alien

TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part VIII > § 1324a

§ 1324a. Unlawful employment of aliens

WE DO NOT NEED IMMIGRATION REFORM. WE NEED IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

ENFORCE THE LAW

We should treat immigrants like Mexico does:

At present, Article 67 of Mexico’s Population Law says, “Authorities, whether federal, state or municipal … are required to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country, before attending to any issues.”

That would simplify things.

Looks like Machete will be a major-league hoot. Nice catch, Lisa.

Wow, give her a nun’s habit and pistol, suddenly Lindsey Lohan is attractive to me.

Who knew?

All I can think while I’m watching this trailer is Blowed Up. Well, that and Robert Rodriguez is another director who clearly likes to cast the same actors in all his movies.

Is this a modern Billy Jack?

Just like drama queen Mexican illegals – If we Americans don’t let them come and go as they please then, just like the narco-thugs in Mexico, they will butcher the yankees with machetes because they are the “la raza”. You know, like the Aryan race only brown. Boy are you hollywood types being played for chumps. And your response: Brilliant, just fuckin’ brilliant.

Mexican thugs chopping up Americans – That really makes me sympathetic to the cause of illegal Mexicans.

Then you wonder why AZ is reacting in it’s own self defense by passing SB 1070. Perhaps if the feds did their job of enforcing the existing immigration laws and opted to secure our borders – both North and South – AZ wouldn’t take matters of the self defense of it’s LEGAL AMERICAN citizens into their own hands till the feds get off their asses and do something…

Ah, but how do you recognize a “foreigner” here? A driver’s license is not proof of citizenship, and a social security is not proof of ID. Are you advocating a national ID card? Micro-chipping?

I have been told I look a) Canadian; b) European;
c) weird; d) lovely; e) otherworldly.

My friend Kelvez is brown skinned. He could be several ethnicities, but he is a US citizen.

Making people who “look like” illegal immigrants prove their citizenship to prove they “belong” pretty might dispel my sympathy for the people along the border who actually do face some dangers because of the all the people trafficking. At least, it would if I were a bigot.

That’s a great construct.

Like Coppola, Goddard, DiPalma, Corman: Auteur.

I was fortunate enough to catch Al Sharpton on This Week last Sunday. He is excellent at distilling these issues down to the most important element. In defense of the AZ law George Will used an analogy of all the buildings in the capitol which require people to present I.D. to enter. Sharpton immediately responded that EVERYONE has to provide I.D., not just those who fit a profile.

Someone needs to start challenging this talk-show figures to immediately pull out proof of THEIR citizenship on the programs. See how many can comply. Some may pull out a driver license…but few will have a passport, and none their Birth Certificates. Point out that in Arizona that would likely get them detained IF…they were brown.

I wonder how the law will be applied to illegal immigrants with white skin, say Canadians? I mean it’s kinda hard to tell them apart from say New Yorkers or folks on vacation from Fargo. I guess everyone in AZ should be questioned if they look “out of place.” Because that’s a really good use of law enforcement’s time and resources

If you are a tourist from another country, what proof are you supposed to have with you to prove you are here legally–and planning to leave?

And who is in favor of a national ID card?

The backstory of this flick is that “Machete” was one of the fake trailers in the Tarantino-Rodriquez doubleheader Grindhouse. Since the trailer was easily the best part of Grindhouse, naturally Rodriguez went ahead and made it a real movie.

“Don’t hire him to kill the bad guy unless you’re damn sure you’re not the bad guy”. Truer words were never spoken :o)

And I’m in favor of a National ID, in fact I have one in my desk drawer, its called a passport. Instead of a new National ID bureaucracy, simply require drivers and job applicants to carry their passport and/or visa with them. Foreign tourists would be fine carrying their own country’s passport (the expiration date on their stamped entry visa easily proves they’re here legally).

I hate to point out the obvious but foreign nationals are not citizens, they can’t run for office, they can’t vote and they have no constitutional right to live here. Every “alien” (the statutory term) 14 years or older in the US for more than 30 days is required to register with Uncle Sam (8 US 1302), further, every alien 18 years or older is required to carry their registration paperwork with them at all times (8 US 1304).

Hey, I was an extra in “Billy Jack.” I guess BJ was sort of a reverse deal, bad white girl trying to fit in with the NA culture, but the hero (besides BJ) was a sweet NA boy who told her she should be herself, not an “everybody’s.” Terrible acting, but a cult fave.

I. Just. Go. Beserk!

roundhouse kick

Like you beowulf, I have no problem with having a “national” ID card. In case the drama queens who bleat and bray about having their liberties tramped on if we as a country opt for one, perhaps they should remember that most all Americans already have a national ID card – It’s called a Social Security card. Never heard of anyone pissing and moaning about their “liberty and freedom” being violated having to show their SS card when they get hired for a job – have you?

And the other bogus argument is that those that object most to having to carry ID with them say being asked for ID is a violation of their privacy. Tell you wha, that “privacy” ship sailed when credit reporting bureaus came along.

And don’t you just love the fear mongering hysteria that the “open border” and “immigration scoff laws” use as an argument for not having your ID with you when your out and about. One of the greatest “Make’em pee in their pants” hypotheticals being passed around the Mexican conclaves here in AZ is this one.

The anti-illegal immigration weenies are saying posses of AZ state troopers and sheriffs deputies in jack boots and silver reflecting sunglasses will be setting up ID check points in front of the WalMart in Old Tucson demanding in bad German accents “show me your papers”. And you know what, the La Raza and “sanctuary city” types are ginning up fear-mongering propaganda that this is what SB 1070 will do! Man, they must have read the rethugliCANT How-To book on instilling irrational fear in Americans, legal or otherwise.

As for me, I carry my ID everytime I leave the house – no big deal really. And I hope and pray that a law enforcement type stops me and asks for my ID. I’m more than happay to prove I’m an American and relish every opportunity to proudly prove it. But then again I’m a legal US citizen…

And don’t came at me with that bullshit that AZ SB 1070 makes it legal for a AZ law enforcement types to simply ask for ID for no apparent reason. The hard fact is that SB 1070 reinforces and adds yet another layer to EXISTING laws – both federal and state – that makes it illegal for cops to do just that. They have to have good cause that can be proven in a court of law for stopping you in the first place and being brown ain’t one of those reasons. And they can’t ask you if you’re an American citizen either, something the “illegal brown is beautiful” scoff laws conveniently fail to mention…

YouTube took down the video, but you can still see it here:

I guess that legally the Social Security card NOT being considered an ID has no bearing?

Yes, I have read that on the card itself.

Fine put a few CEO’s in jail for hiring immigrants then we will talk.

Funny I hear no complaints from your side about Hispanics in Hollywood always getting prison and criminal parts.
I’m sure that didn’t change voters minds about Hispanics even though AZ’s crime rate has staid the same for years despite population growth much of it illegal.

So when is this coming out? Whats with this whole invest in movies thing I heard about if this film comes out before the election I’d like to invest.

Sweet Lisa. She believes everything she reads.
