Kansas Republican Suggests Shooting Illegal Immigrants From Helicopters | Political Correction

I’ve been chastised recently for stating that many Tea Party types are racist bigots.

I *do* realize the following; some of those folks are not actually racist; they just quietly condone being lumped in with them. I also realize that not all racists are Tea Baggers: Hillary Clinton’s PUMA supporters proved that.

So, even with those two caveats, I would like the defenders of “free speech racism” to explain this.

I also have two points to make here.

One, if you aren’t racist, why do you compare humans to pigs and suggest slaughtering them is the only way to deal with any potential issues they cause? Also, yes, this is racist. You can’t check documentation from a helicopter so this guy is asking to hunt brown people from the air.

Two, why do these conservative cowards refuse to hunt fairly? Cheney and his box o’ birds (which he still couldn’t shot without hitting a “friend”) and Palin and this moron wanting to shoot things from a helicopter.

Come on down to ground level and make it at least somewhat equal.

Also, if you really want to shoot brown people from the air, join the Air Force. They’ll even let you have a drone so you don’t have to leave the U.S. to do it.

Why Silicon Valley Immigrant Entrepreneurs Are Returning Home

Congratulations America. We educate millions of foreign students, give them the foundation to be innovators and entrepreneurs, than, because our inept handling of immigration reform is in permanent limbo, they go home.

Once there, they start the companies that challenge our industries here.

This needs fixed, and quickly.

We also need to finally address our attitude problem towards immigrants. When we lived in Oklahoma, after 9/11 the Air Force ROTC goon-in-charge liked to march his cadets in full uniform, gear, and guns up the hill through the family housing areas – where most of the international students lived.

Some of these families came from countries where the soldiers are the cops. And whatever pass for justice wasn’t interested in fairness, legality, or the fate of the common man. Kids were yanked inside by terrified parents. The local campus police, to their credit, did everything they could to stop this behavior.

In many cases, the damaged was done. This didn’t happen before 9/11. This wasn’t a necessary task. The head officer actually bragged about what he was doing.

You just don’t need to change the laws to let folks know they can and should stay and make their dreams come true here. You also need to tell bigots that we ALL came from somewhere else and a person’s religion, gender, melanin tone, or whatever else they want to separate us by do not matter.
