“Pop Drops”: Occupiers & Illegals Dump Parents off at Hospitals Before They Go On Vacation

Reading about the “permanent patient” illegal immigration problem and how it relates to hospitals today.

Illegals don’t deserve anything beyond emergency care. Chances are, the countries they illegally came from likely offer “free” care (or something close to it) and yet Americans are being stuck with the burden.

Liberals can squeal the human argument on this all they want to – the fact is these people shouldn’t be here in the first place, and this “pop drop” mentality that the hospitals talk about show just how entitled these people feel that people other than themselves should pay for their burden. This, btw, is why I include Occupiers in this group – after all, aren’t these people “occupying” a hospital without right to do so? It’s simple math: with more beds and resources going to people who don’t deserve them, less are available for people who do – either that, or costs go up.

Notice, too, how Liberal cling-to “political correctness” is preventing this problem from being addressed properly.

New Haven Mayor Wants Illegals To Be Able to Vote

Funny how lax the far left is regarding the law when it gets in the way of their Liberal agenda.

John DeStefano, the Democrat Mayor of New Haven, CT, apparently believes that “illegal immigrants pay taxes indirectly through rent and send their kids to New Haven schools and should be able to vote”, according to the NBC online article.

I know this has been said by many countless times, but what part of “illegal” does the left not get? Do they need the votes that badly so as to have to basically “cheat” to get them?

As a legal, visa-holding and law-abiding person in the U.S., I find this to be an insult to everyone like me who waits in line, pays the lawyers, does the work, and creates the jobs in order to be here legally. I can’t believe something as ridiculous as this would even be considered.

I hope deStefano’s words turn out to be a misprint, but I won’t be holding my breath.

More Annoying “Race Card Rhetoric” From Dems

It’s a simple rule: if you live in this country legally, you have identification proving as much starting with a passport, continuing with a driver’s license, bank card, utility bill, etc. etc. etc.

Here’s another simple rule: one person, one vote. Assuming rule #1 is followed, this rule should be easy to enforce, yet for some reason Democrats want to equate voter eligibility and the prevention of voter fraud with racism.

Enter good ol’ Barbara Lee from (shocker) California:

“It’s no coincidence that a disproportionate number of these affected voters come from communities of color as well as the poor, the elderly and students.”

Oh, so I get it. Because these people are too lazy, or are too illegal to go get a passport, anyone requiring them to prove their identity must be a “racist”.

There are so many things about Lee’s statement and her position that are ridiculous and frustrate me, but let me zero in on two:

1) The fact that Lee makes such absurd race-baiting statements in the first place,
2) The fact that she does so knowing that there’s still an idiot, race-baiting population that will hear her and agree with her.

The reason racism is still an issue in this country is because people like Lee continue to make it one.

If voting matters enough to people, having proper identification to do it shouldn’t be a problem. Race has ZERO to do with it.

Incendiary Rhetoric Ultimately Contributes to a Hate Crime of the Worst Kind

This isn’t a matter of right vs. left. I hear people on the left saying, “Look at how the right incites violence with what they say” pretending to be the more peaceful of the two and yet they can be the ones collectively who are often more violent (protests, union violence, etc.) This isn’t about partisan politics, this is about our humanity.

Read about this sickening act of murder against a 9-year-old Hispanic girl in Arizona.

Can anyone NOT connect the dots here? What sort of rhetoric does one think fuels these acts of violence vs. that which doesn’t?

Politicians and pundits will often prey on our fears to get us to the polls and keep us tuned into them because unfortunately, fear of loss is what gets us off our asses and doing something more than any hope of gain. Their job, however, isn’t just to leave that fear hanging. It is also to alleviate that fear and inspire us to tap into the best parts of ourselves, not the worst. That is the job of our leaders, and unfortunately, where largely our leaders fail.

There is a reason why we have to put “do not attempt” and “professional drivers on closed course” and “always drink responsibly” at the bottom of even the most outrageous and far-fetched commercials. It’s because there is a significant portion of our population that simply cannot tell 30-seconds of rhetoric from reality. Sad as the necessity for this is, it’s obviously still a necessity. Advertisers know the ultimate power of their rhetoric, and they take responsibility for it. Our leaders and pundits should, too.

Take this phrase: “Yes, we have an immigration problem, but that doesn’t mean each of us should become vigilantes and take matters into our own hands.” Why haven’t we heard the second part of this phrase as much as the first? If your answer is “We shouldn’t need to”, then tell that to Brisenia Flores. The clear, distinct message telling people to exercise restraint and compassion should be just as loud and obvious as the rhetoric that incites people to act with a lack of it. If not just as loud, it should be louder, but right now, that message is hardly stated or heard at all. I don’t care which side of the aisle you are on, that’s wrong.

Gloria Allred and Mark Levin – What Debates Should Be

I was directed to an interview on Mark Levin’s website between him and Gloria Allred, who’s apparently representing an “undocumented” housekeeper who worked for Meg Whitman.

The fact that this is purely politically motivated by those against Meg Whitman is obvious except to either the utterly naive or hopelessly stupid. That fact alone is what made me steer clear of this “issue” at every opportunity.

Why I’m glad I took in the Levin interview, however, is that Levin does something that I wish more commentators and interviewers would do:
1) Sum up the issue,
2) Put it in the form of a simple question, and most importantly…
3) DON’T LET THE INTERVIEWEE DUCK ANSWERING IT.

Allred gets owned. Listen to her response (or lack thereof) about the use of “illegal alien” vs. “undocumented worker”. Listen to her response (or lack thereof) of whether or not she put her client in harm’s way, legally, but “outing” her as an illegal alien. Credit should be given to Levin for keeping her accountable to her answers, and also, I think, for turning down her mike every time she tried to go off on her showboating tirade that had next to nothing to do with the question.

I’m neither for nor against Meg Whitman. I’m not a California resident and therefore will leave an opinion of her to California voters. I can tell you, however, that in principle, I’m against Gloria Allred and anyone else who was involved in snowing this poor housekeeper over and exploiting her in this way. I won’t go as far as to call her a victim, but really, Allred’s scruples really show their true colors here and she clearly is a vulture and nothing more. Let’s chalk yet another ridiculous moment up to greed on this one.

What Does “America’s Got Talent” Have To Do With The Immigration Debate? Perhaps More Than You Might Think…

What do Sharon Osbourne, Howie Mandell, and Piers Morgan have in common? For one, they’re the judges on “America’s Got Talent”. For another, none of them are natural born Americans! Somewhat ironic that they’re the ones deciding which Americans have talent and which ones don’t, don’t you think?

It was also reported in the NY Post that Piers Morgan’s visa has been held up in red tape (it appears) and delaying his taking over for Larry King. So at least one of the judges on AGT isn’t even naturalized and he’s about to take over for one of the most famous American interviewers ever! Whoda thought?

Maybe Americans in general are not so against helping people from another country come here and pursue the goal of a better life, and perhaps it’s not about race or what country they come from. Maybe instead it has more to do with people obeying the law that they themselves respect.
