Words Fail Me (Wizbang)

This morning, the Boston Globe has a story about a series of workshops being offered across the Bay State.

They're being put together by non-profit organizations, and their focus is simple:

How illegal aliens can avoid getting caught and deported.

They're being given clear and explicit instructions on how to thwart federal law enforcement officials.

In the title, I say "words fail me." But that's not quite true. Quite a few words come to mind.

Setting aside the profanities, I am left with the following:

Aiding and abetting criminals.

Accomplice after the fact.

Criminal conspiracy.

Racketeering-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations.

Harboring fugitives.

The thing that gets me the most infuriated, though, is that all these groups are calling themselves "immigrant rights activists." That's not true in the least. They have no use for legal immigrants; their energies are fully dedicated to illegal aliens.

That's not quite fair. They do have a use for legal immigrants; they can use them as cover, as "beards," for the illegal ones.

It's a gross insult to them, the welcome and valued guests of this country, and to us, the citizens of this country.

But it's Massachusetts, the state of Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Michael Dukakis, Tip O'Neill. state that Democrats hold 100% of all federal offices, 100% of all statewide offices, and 85% of the legislature. That's just par for the course.

Nessus:

The sad truth is the much of illegal immigration is related to legal immigration. They can't be totally separated, that's why I favor a reduction in legal immigration (as well as the H-1B high-tech visa scam, i.e., the affirmative action program for Indians and Chinese computer programmers) as well as fighting hard against illegal immigration.

Is it gonna happen? Not likely. Too many people make too much money off the current high level of legal and illegal immigration.

My advice? Learn Spanish and get a Muslim prayer rug cuz you're gonna need both. Liberals and (neocons) both don't have a spine to stand up for their own nation and culture.

yup. And it could be legitimately argued that some of those 'training' activities should be investigated and possibly proscecuted. If it's done on the down low, the gov't ignores it (usually). If it is in-your-face and/or high profile and/or embarrasing to the gov't and/or goes against the politics of the administration in charge at the time, you bet they'll take a look at you.

Thumbing your nose at the Feds and the American people and broadcasting it through the Boston Globe, et al, is a sure way to piss the public off. Pissed of citizens tend to demand investigations. Politicians often cowtow to pissed off citizens.
