So, Thursday, there's this breathless article from the WashingtonPost about how Scott McClellan pointed out that George W's Spanish isn't that good. (The reporter forgot to mention that Bush's English isn't all that terrific, either.)
Of course, of greater concern is our President's hearing. While Republican intellectuals, liberal Democrats, and vote grubbing partisans of both party persuasions argue in favor of a guest worker program, the majority of the American public has been writing, talking, singing and screaming that amnesty is no longer acceptable, and we want the danged border controlled.
How hard can that be to comprehend? Forget the high tech electronic toys, forget "smart" fences that have non-heat proof components. Also, forget about the pork laden bacon bit the Senate threw into the Emergency Funding bill yesterday that's supposed to beef up border enforcement. All the money in the world won't help as long as there's no way of deporting illegals caught at the border. (i.e. -- they're going to be apprehended -- and then what? Told to try again manana?)
Think about those MinuteMen who're about to start building their own fence down on private property adjacent to the border. Think about the hundreds of thousands of everyday Americans who're willing to sit on lawnchairs with binoculars during their vacations. Think about the difference between immigrant -- and illegal immigrant ...
Or, think about what's happening in San Bernidino, reported by the AP:
LOS ANGELES - A San Bernardino measure that would prohibit landlords from renting to illegal immigrants and force day laborers to prove legal residency to work has qualified for a special election, a city official said Thursday.
The minimum 2,216 valid signatures had been counted, setting the stage for an election, said San Bernardino City Clerk Rachel Clark.
Joseph Turner, an anti-illegal immigration activist who sponsored the initiative, said it would show cities that they have the power to combat illegal immigration.
Turner said the initiative specifically aimed to circumvent a Supreme Court ruling prohibiting public schools from asking students for proof of legal residency.
"If an undocumented family can't live in the city, they can't send their children to public schools," he said.
The proposal also would ban taxpayer funded day labor centers, mandate that city business be in English and deny permits to businesses hiring illegal immigrants. In most cases, violators would be fined $1,000
That looks like impeccable logic to me -- until the 9th Circus, and the ACLU get into the act.

Can't agree with that. I know illegail immigrants don't pay taxes and therefore don't contribute to public school funding and logically shouldn't bennifit from it.
But logical doesn't work to well for me on this. For one we are punishing kids for parents mistakes (minor reason) and two, parents won't take their kids back to Mexico for an education. No education means a sharp rise in crime. If one million highschoolers just stop going to school one day what do you think they're going to do?
