OT: Tinseltown Ad Touts Driver's Licenses for Illegal Immigrants

[Guest guest]

Hey y'all,

 

Somehow .. the actions of the Hollywood fruitcakes and the Mexican

government seem sorta out of line with the norms of international law

and logic.

 

True it is that Mexican workers have kept the farmers in my area of

Kentucky from going bankrupt .. its impossible to get American workers

there because living on government handouts is preferable to working

hard on a farm. And true it is (I have read) that this is the case all

over the USA .. so logic flows that we should allow Guest Workers in

like they do in Europe. And logic flows that many of the Guest Workers

will win the hearts and minds and support of their employers .. and end

up as American citizens.

 

But the below .. something is rotten there and its not just the issue of

driver's licenses .. its like .. lets do away with borders and not only

open the country to anyone who wants to come in for whatever reason but

also encourage them to come in.

 

My ideas .. and likely they'll not change. :-P Butch

 

PS: I'll add that the two main reasons the EU is dragging their feet on

admitting Turkey are Religion (which they won't admit to) and the fact

that they're afraid open borders will mean a flood of Turkish workers ..

which would probably be the case .. and the EU does admit to this.

 

 

Tinseltown Ad Touts Licenses for Lawbreakers

 

Some Hollywood celebs have taken out an ad in Variety magazine urging

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to approve a bill that would allow

illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses.

 

Star promoters of licenses for illegals include Martin Sheen, Danny

Glover, Diane Keaton, Carlos Santana, Emilio Estevez and Melissa Gilbert.

 

The Mexican government no doubt appreciates the celebrity support. It's

already been working to provide a steady flow of new California drivers

by publishing a comic book, which teaches folks how to safely skirt U.S.

immigration law. An agency of the Mexican government plans to distribute

1.5 million copies of its book, " The Guide for the Mexican Migrant, " in

provinces from which many illegals flee.

 

The Hollywood celebs seem to ignore those pesky little things called law

and logic and opt for emotion instead. The Variety ad pictures a

Hispanic woman with two young children, with a caption that's

tailor-made to pull on heartstrings.

 

" I am trusted every day to use my hands and my heart to nurture and care

for children who are not my own... " the ad reads. " I am welcomed into

the most personal parts of people's lives, but I'm not trusted with a

license to drive a car. "
