Krazy Kris Kobach And His Crusade
The PBS Homeland: Immigration In America series was probably one of their best.
We've talked about the Kansas City Community Policing aspect of this story . . .
But the politics and political chatter/theater is always more entertaining and what's really driving the debate.
To wit . . .
Check out KCPT's Immigration special profiling Krazy Kris Kobach:
Homeland: National Crusader
Of course a great many of you d-bags might agree with his opinion . . . But look just a bit more closely.
The towering, articulate and well-educated political hopeful is trumpeting his message to a nearly empty ballpark of losers and bored Senior Citizens. And then he's broadcasting from a dank, cramped and cluttered tiny broadcast booth that doesn't even belong to him. I don't doubt Kobach's passion but the video did a great job putting his losing fight and niche message in perspective.
While Kobach has picked up some big checks in his immigration battle . . . The fact is that the GOP and most of mainstream America has turned away from the Mexican deportation crusade.
Perspective . . .
The KCPT Special also provides a look at one of the undocumented workers Kobach would like to deport and the dude is harmless, working a hard job and raising American kids:
Homeland: Family
There's always the tired old argument . . . "What part of illegal don't you understand?" Despite the fact that crossing the border without documentation is merely a federal misdemeanor and more akin to jaywalking than most people would like to think.
Let's also remember that Kobach has been mostly unsuccessful in his legal attempt to make life harder on the undocumented . . . Which begs the question: "What part of unconstitutional don't you understand?
Still . . . What's always fun for TKC is to watch so many hypocrite conservatives who might tout "small government" in certain circumstances until they eventually give in to nanny state hype when confronted with the prospect of brown people. In the end, very few people really trust a free and open market for labor or anything else.
Yet, in the long run and through the course of human history . . . Governments, walls and/or laws have never been able to control population shifts over the long term. In reality the debate over immigration has never been about security and has always been more of a response to the U.S. slowly changing color.
Census data shows minorities now a majority of U.S. births

Most of are Catholics...and the catholic church wants to cut back on birth control?
Maybe its the CHURCH and their fancy red robes that need to be deported!
Or at least lose their tax exemptions!
And you think this is GOOD?
What don't Kansans understand about Krazy Kris and the Peter Principle?
I don't care what he believes. I want to lick his peter.
lulz.
People realize the impracticality of deporting Mexicans. But it's NOT impractical to require them to apply for work permits, ID photos, numbers, much like social security... and penalize companies who hire those not registered with INS under work rules.
Hopefully Obama will do that during his second term.
They can't apply for ID photos, numbers without a social security. They can't get a work permit without a perm. res. visa. Uncle Sam and this country can't get its fair share of taxes without comprehensive immigration reform. The housing market can't get its share of clients without comprehensive immigration reform. The insurance industry and banking industries would also seriously profit off of comprehensive immigration reform.
Everyone is focused on the future. What about the now? We have to take care of the parents to help the DREAMers succeed.
Our economy could sure use it. Comprehensive immigration reform is an absolute no brainer. Wake up and smell the Cafe de Olla folks!
HEY TONY!!!
Go sneak into Mexico and try to get a job....let's see how well you do and if you don't end up jail you can write about it.

They are simply people seeking a better life. I don't care if they are illegal or not. Look at that little girl; she is not my enemy or my country's enemy.
A racist is, by definition, someone who hates little babies ...
Byron, with all due respect, you're fulla chit, my friend.
I'd like to have a better life by robbing bank or taking your job. Well, not YOUR job, ya understand. :)
Your definition of racism is hyperbolic and an utter distortion of what it really is. You can do better than that, BF!
We have a civilized society and rules to keep it that way. Whether you care or not, we need that order to prevent chaos. Nope, I'm not a Libertarian.
I'm for a balance of rules...and bringing the illegals here into the mainstream of society with the same kinds of documentation the rest of us are required isn't too much to ask. If that's not acceptable to them, then they SHOULD go back to Mexico, et al.
WHen in Rome, do as the Romans do. And in the US, we require a certain level of accountability as a citizen. Even if you're a newborn or a cute brown girl with no papers. Get her some, if she's your kid.
I had to get papers for both of MY kids, I assure you, before I could fill out my tax return one year when they were still too young to work!
Your analysis is simple-minded 6:51 and it doesn't stand up to a reality check. If it was as simple to get papers as it was for your kids there wouldn't be a problem. But the system is broken and Byron does a good job of pointing out the inequity.
It doesn't have to be complicated... but it IS manpower intensive, and it'll take a law to do it and some time. And it requires a crackerjack computer system...which can be found at SS, at the military, at IRS, and in the NCIC linkup with state drivers license bureaus, airline reservation systems, and more. It's just not that hard. Need electronically gathered thumbprints, photo ID's and some proof paperwork of some kind to validate names/ employers/ origins, and if they aren't available, like many home born citizens, Ellis Island immigrants, and native americans, ya just write something down and that'll be your documentation.
Ya wanna work in America, you have to have documentation...and that'd be like a Social Security number for you.
Social Security should have gone digital a long time ago with photos and thumbprints. No time like the present to start getting it in place.
Oh Byron is back! Looking to have his hillbilly ass exposed again....go find a nigger cathoic priest you intrusive faggot.
7:38: And Social Security would devise a system to prevent people from paying money in thye will never be able to get any benefits for--why?
I still want to lick his peter.
7/14/12 12:18 AM is exactly why anonymous comments shouldn't be allowed on this blog, anymore. Free speech my fat ass.
This is great. In just a few generations the minorities can call for tax cuts and stop supporting whitey
