Assault on illegal immigrants an assault on civil liberties in general

Several states are gearing up to massively fight against illegal immigration, with numerous problems.

The first problem, as already noted in the federal court action against Arizona's SB 1020 from last year, is that immigration is a federal-control matter, not a state issue.

The second, and even more important, in the new potential state laws, is that "birth citizenship" is part of the 14th Amendment and actions to try to remove that are unconstitutional.

The third? The "War on Drugs" looks like it's going to become a "War on Illegal Aliens." Asset forfeiture seizures of cars and property? (The story isn't clear on the Oklahoma bill, but, based on the War on Drugs model, I'll assume pre-conviction seizures are what's planned.

Finally, the "anchor baby" nonsense indicate that, legitimate concerns and fears aside, this is all wingnut-driven.

Ahh, you, Sir Nutbar, prove exactly the problem that I wrote this blog post about.

1. There is no god.
2. If there were, he allegedly loves the whole world equally.
3. Let's raise the minimum wage, if you're worred about wages, and rightfully so. Write your tea partier GOP Congressmen. See how soon they do that.
4. Rick Perry's cameras on the border was such a huge fucking flop that even he doesn't talk about it any more.

That takes care of the basic refutation of you.
