“Please God, let this stupid stunt work…”
Okay I’ve seen our government do a lot of stupid things in the past, and when I say “a lot” I mean “A WHOLE FREAKING LOT”. A few outstanding examples are as follows: the House of Representatives wasting time by passing a motion “expressing the sense of Congress regarding the importance of motor sports,” requiring Braille on drive up window ATM buttons, and this gem of a quote from Representative Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania: “Mr. Speaker, I rise to offer congratulations to the confectioners at Just Born, Incorporated, as they celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of their most recognized and celebrated products, not to mention my daughter’s favorite, Marshmallow Peeps.”
Yup, that is a pretty good cross section of government stupid, but this one takes the cake…
SANTA ANA, Calif. – Wanted: Illegal immigrants with clean records who have ignored court orders to leave the country. Immigration officials are standing by to help you leave the country. No jail. No joke.
That invitation drew hardly any takers Tuesday on the first day of a new federal “self-deportation” program that offered 457,000 eligible illegal immigrants the chance to turn themselves in, get their affairs in order and leave the country without being detained.
Yup, our immigration policy and enforcement efforts have certainly become a joke… and this has got to be the punchline.
