Secure Our Borders!

In case anyone's been living under a rock for the past few weeks, the Arizona immigration bill has caused quite a stir. If you pay any attention to the lamestream news, it seems Arizona's Governor Jan Brewer and Sarah Palin (scroll down see her speak on the bill) are alone in supporting it. Suddenly everyone thinks that Arizona hates Mexicans.

But nobody's even read it. Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security, didn't bother reading it. Attorney General Eric Holder, whose job is to advise the President on legal matters like this one, admitted to not having read it. And judging by his recent comments, even our own President hasn't read it.

Erroneous news reports are being cited over and over until finally they have become, in the public's eye, the truth.

But this bill is not what people are saying it is. (And yes, I have read it myself.)

Here’s the gist: If you’re pulled over by the cops for a traffic violation or other offense, they can ask you to prove that you are in fact a citizen of these United States. Which pretty much makes sense anyway.

It’s exactly like the federal law. And there are no civil rights violations. You can’t get pulled over just for looking Hispanic on your way to get some ice cream, as President Obama oh-so-tactfully put it. In fact, it states rather explicitly that your immigration status may be checked if you are already suspected of committing a public offense. You cannot be pulled over because of your apparent ethnic origin.

If you don’t believe me, you can read the bill for yourself here. The entire thing's only 13 pages.

SB 1070 does not infringe upon anyone's rights, and Arizona is correct in implementing it.

If we can’t ask people from other countries to respect the law, how can we expect our own citizens to?

In Defense of Bristol Palin

Here’s a shocker for you: the mainstream media is raking Bristol Palin over the coals again. This time, though, it’s not because she had a child as an unmarried teenager, or even because her mother is one of the most formidable (and charming) enemies of the Left. It’s because she’s supporting abstinence for teens.

Really?

Apparently Bristol said in an interview a while back that teen abstinence is “unrealistic.” So, obviously, she’s going against her word – and revealing a shockingly depraved moral character – by encouraging it anyway.

Again: Really?

Curing cancer in the next few years is unrealistic. So let’s just not bother trying. Stopping crime is unrealistic. So why don’t we let all the murderers run free and keep killing people?

I’m pretty sure that when Bristol said “unrealistic,” she meant that it’s impossible to stop all teenagers everywhere from having sex before marriage. (From the conversations I hear around my college campus, I’m regrettably inclined to agree.) But if just a few abortions can be prevented, if just a few girls can be saved from growing up too soon, then we have done something right.
