Methinks something stinks about this
The old logging town of Forks is filled with independent-minded folks who “live in the middle of nowhere. And want to keep it that way,” jokes the mayor.
So it didn’t go over so well when the feds showed up last week and, in the name of fighting terrorism, made locals vouch for their citizenship. “It has created a lot of turmoil out here,” says Nedra Reed, mayor of the town of 3,200 on the far side of the Olympic Peninsula.
Starting at 8 a.m. last Thursday, federal Border Patrol agents blocked the highway outside town. For four hours, every car, truck and bus driving south on Highway 101 was pulled off the road and all passengers questioned.
While I fully support the fight to kick illegal aliens out of the country, this is entirely the wrong way to go about it.
Maybe, if the ICE dweebles would have been allowed to do their fucking jobs for the past three decades, we wouldn’t have a rampant illegal immigration problem.
Now here is what truly sticks deal in my craw.
Go to your favorite online map program and enter “Forks, Wa” and take a look at where Forks is at.
You literally cannot get any further west in the continental United States, unless you go to the Neah Bay Indian Reservation, the Lake Ozette portion of the Olympic National Park, or the town of La Push.
Why doesn’t the Fed run this “Stop and Talk” program in fuckin’ San Diego and L.A., where they might actually come across a real, live illegal alien?
Probably becuase they’d be doing some good instead of harassing the locals.
………… or maybe King County, WA?
…… Mr. C.
Damn, they’re lucky there wasn’t a bunch of dead cops that day.
I swear the first shots fired in anger against a US government (be it state or federal) are going to be fired in Washington.
It’s getting the citizens accustomed to checkpoints. The official explanation would sound just as ominous in German or Russian.
WTF? Papers please? What if I had a friend riding shotgun who didn’t have ID on him, would they haul us in for questioning? Does the government even have the authority to force me to produce identification and prove my identity? I’m waiting to hear more about this.
I live in San Diego, and, boy, I sure wish they’d set up some checkpoints here. I want Americans to get used to checkpoints. I’m thinking of checkpoints where one is required to produce a passport, or else one is taken and flung straight over the border. Would I mind having to carry my passport at all times? No, I would not mind. Would I love seeing illegal aliens rounded up, put into camps, loaded into cattle cars, and transported across the border? Yes, I would love to see that.
I want to see families separated. I want “undocumented migrants” to live in fear. I want these f…..g criminals shot as they sneak across our borders. I want anyone who hires an illegal alien to do mandatory prison time.
Did you know there are do-gooders who set up food and water stations out in the desert for illegal aliens in distress in the summer heat? These do-gooders need to be stripped of their citizenship and set adrift on a raft in the ocean.
Do you think I am kidding when I say all this? A troll trying to provoke? No, I am not kidding, and I am not a troll.
I think the penalty for illegal entry into this country should be summary execution. So do I have a problem with checkpoints? No, I do not. Not when the search is for illegal aliens.
