Jack Lewis on Illegal Aliens

In Jack's own words, here is his take on the current situation. Have fun!

SUMMARY: Drastic regulations for dealing with both legal and illegal immigrants [sic]. Think they're too extreme to ever be imposed? Think again.

TEXT:

New regulations for immigrants?
The following has been proposed as a reasonable method of managing not only illegal immigration but legal immigrants. See how many you agree with, and how many you'd be comfortable with being imposed...
Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country. This ban applies, among other things, to participation in demonstrations and the _expression of opinions in public about domestic politics.

Equal employment rights are denied to immigrants, even legal ones, even those with green cards.

Only citizens may serve in the military as officers, on airline crews, and chiefs of seaports and airports.

Members of both houses of Congress as well as the Supreme Court must be a citizen by birth.

Immigrants — even legal ones — may not become members of the clergy.

Foreigners, legal or illegal, may not own land.

Any citizen may arrest illegal immigrants and their accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities.

Foreigners, legal or otherwise, may be expelled for any reason and without due process.
Sounds pretty radical doesn't it. Surely the people waving the Mexican flag at that last protest would have a cow if such were the law, wouldn't they.
Except it is the law...in Mexico!

(Rosemary:) Wow. And you call us racist? Hmm...
