Governor Brewer Could Not Be
Reached For Comment
UPDATE: Bubba, Too?

American Power reports on Mass. Rep. Michael Moran, rear-ended by an apparently illegal alien.
Past the snarky title, let us:

  • Not rejoice in anyone’s misfortune, and
  • Note that drunk driving is a huge part of the case.

That said, it will be interesting to watch this “unfortunately undocumented societal victim of Bush-era injustice” move through the system.

Since it is difficult to pursue journalism while pandering, I’d expect this story to get rear-ended by a propaganda-drunk media.

While the so-called elite continue to pile on Arizona over SB-1070, more states line up to follow, and the Administration shows exactly 0 capacity to reflect  and alter course, one wonders which unfortunate incident will push the whole situation over the edge.

Update: (via Lucianne) ABC Reports that Bill Clinton’s van was also rear-ended while en route Yale. We must dispatch Da Tech Guy STAT to get to the bottom of this rash of tail-chasing smacking the cheeks of these public figures in the Northeast. Could it be a Belvedere-ian plot?

    I expect that the spin that will be used on this will be that he would have not been driving drunk/etc if he had been given “legal” status in a comprehensive immigration bill, but those damn Republicans……

    Stacy, he was drinking because he was denied the rights of citizenship. Or rather, he wad denied fully realizing all that public benefits have to offer (wihtout having to pay for it). It is the American Dream man, the American Dream.

    If we want to end illegal immigration the solution is simple. No deportations of non felons required. Simply fine employers who hire illegals until it is not worth their while to hire illegals. Fine contractors and homeowners who hire illegals too. It is a matter of political will. You do that and the problem goes away.

    I remember at least three instances of “amnesty” for illegals since Clinton was in office. Anyone that has been in this country illegally through all that obviously has no intent to obey the law to be here, and should be summarily thrown out.

    There are enough people here illegally that actually (gasp!) enforcing the law might hurt local economies, but it will only last a while before it starts to improve again.

    The idea that we have to preserve the presence of illegals in this country lest we suffer economic harm, has always struck me as akin to certain antebellum Southerners’ resistance to ending slavery for the same reason.
