Think before you speak / Deport citizens? Immigrant uniforms? Really?

Members of Congress have been known to forgo common sense at times and say really ridiculous things. Unfortunately for San Diego County, two recent offenders represent this area – Rep. Duncan D. Hunter, R-El Cajon, and Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-Carlsbad.

Speaking at a tea party meeting in Ramona on Saturday, Hunter said it would be “so simple to control the southern borderâ€

Give me a break. How about all the senators and reps and even the President who are going around spreading rumors about Arizona police who would arrest brown skinned people because of the color of their skin or the hype about racial profiling?

And what exactly is behavior common to illegal immigrants? Of course, it’s obvious – working at jobs that many Americans won’t do for wages that many Americans wouldn’t accept. You’re right, congressman. That’s a dead giveaway.

Umm let's see..running from police is a biggie, so is acting nervous around law enforcement officers. Makes it a reasonable suspicion criminals are up to no good. There are no jobs Americans won't do, haven't heard about illegal aliens working in the coal mines, have you?

[quote]Hunter can’t seriously want to deport U.S. citizens for the sins of the parents. Or can he? He called what should happen to the U.S. children of illegal immigrants a “complex issue.â€

Guess there are no "brown skinned" police in Arizona? How does one racially profile an illegal alien? Illegal alien is not a race.

I just tried to post a comment at the source, S.D.U.T., and got a message that I have been ban from posting comments. No explanation.

Actually, it’s not. The 14th Amendment, in conferring U.S. citizenship to all persons born in the United States regardless of their parents’ legal status, clears it up nicely.

This statement is false.
