This is the area where I impart my wisdom about politics, international relations, and the state of the world in general. No, I am not deluded enough to imagine this matters much to anyone.

I should have learned to Speak Spanish.

And I too could have an impact on my listeners.

Oh. By The way... My favorite excerpt...

'I told God that if he gave me an opportunity as a radio announcer, I was going to help my people," said Sotelo, who himself illegally crossed the border in the trunk of a car in 1986 and gained legal status a decade later. "I think we have to make sure the message went through to Washington, to let them know we're not criminals." '

YOU SNUCK ACROSS A BORDER IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR! Explain to me how that's not criminal? Last time I checked, you don't have to SNEAK when you aren't BREAKING THE LAW. In any other country in the world, I'm sure if you try to hide in the trunk of someone's car while coming across the border, the chances are you're going to get gunned down. People who know me know I don't get terribly excited about the immigration debate. But at least have the common decency to admit that you're breaking the law. If you honestly believe its an unjust law, than break it. But face the consquences. That's how civil disobedience works.

This is a Republic. It's supposed to operate under the Rule of Law, not the rule of The Baboon, The Boogeyman and Tweety Bird.

For our Spanish-Speaking Audience:

Y también podría tener un impacto en mis oyentes. Oh. A propósito... Mi extracto preferido... ' dije a dios que si él me dio una oportunidad como anunciador de radio, fuera a ayudar a mi gente, "dije Sotelo, que sí mismo ilegal cruzó la frontera en el tronco de un coche en 1986 y ganó personalidad jurídica a la década más adelante. "pienso tenemos que cerciorarnos de que el mensaje fuera a través a Washington, lo dejara conocernos no sea criminales." ¡' USTED SNUCK A TRAVÉS De una FRONTERA EN El TRONCO De un COCHE! ¿Explique a mí cómo eso no es criminal? Vez última comprobé, usted no tengo que HACER FURTIVAMENTE cuando usted NO ESTÁ ROMPIENDO LA LEY. En cualquier otro país en el mundo, soy seguro si usted intenta ocultar en el tronco alguien el coche mientras que viene a través de la frontera, las ocasiones es usted va a conseguir hecho fuego sobre abajo. La gente que sabe que me conoce no consigue terrible excitada sobre el discusión de la inmigración. Pero tenga por lo menos la decencia común para admitir que usted está rompiendo la ley. Esto es una república. Se supone para funcionar bajo regla de la ley, no la regla del Mandril, el Cucuy y El Piolin.


P.S The LA Times is a rag.

So David, when the DK Republic becomes a state of its own, how will you handle those that sneak into your country?

Assuming they make it past the razorwire, attack dogs, and machine gun nests?

Illegal aliens (sorry, undocumented workers) will be immediately deported, any assets they have being seized to pay the cost of transporting them. Companies employing illegal immigrations will be fined for the first attempt (I haven't decided on a fine amount. It may have to vary based on the number of employees.) And serve 3 years mandatory jail time for second offenders, and 6 year terms of third time offenders (I can't imagine there would be any).

However legal immigration will be much easier. Companies will be allowed to register with the DKR's State Department as a company which hires foriegn labor. (for those jobs which are often migratory, like agriculture, companies could be created which specialized in providing labor, which would carry out the paperwork, and than bring their employees to the prospective farms)From time to time, companies will be checked for compliance with all applicable labor laws.
