The Daily Beast | Say “Hell No” To Arizona “Research has also shown”are you listening, Glenn Beck?”that illegal immigrants commit much less crime than homegrown Americans.”
Reason | Immigration & Crime: There’s Nothing To Fear From Illegal Immigrants “Today, as ever, most foreigners who make the sacrifice of leaving home and starting over in a strange land do so not to mug grandmothers or molest children, but to find work that will give them a better life. Coming here illegally does not alter that basic motivation. In other words, they want to become full-fledged Americans, and they’re succeeding. Is there something scary about that?”
YRHT | Your Brown Skin Is Now Probable Cause Update: It sure as hell is when an American citizen produces a driver’s license and social security number, but is still detained until someone can produce his birth certificate.

The “Islam is an evil and wicked religion” brouhaha versus Comedy Central’s cowardly censorship of the latest South Park episode on Mohammed AND Kyle’s speech on intimidation, fear and tolerance. Franklin Graham is an evangelical idiot who is encouraged to spread falsehoods, hatred and fear. Comedy Central is a bunch of idiots who dissuade themselves from airing a show that calls evangelical Muslims on the carpet and attempts to dissipate fear. I say we throw all the world’s fundamentalist “leaders” onto an island and they take care of one another.
