Are YOU ready for Illegal immigrant day?

I have another post I am working on regarding the Katie Couric CBS story on "anchor-babies" born to illegal immigrants, but in the interim, I had to comment on the protests slated for tomorrow. May 1 has been transformed into an "open borders rally", starting with "The day without immigrants" which occurred a few years ago.

But first, some humor. An attempt to bring some humor to ending Cinco De Mayo celebrations.

Michelle Malkin gives a great preview and follow up.

See here for the Chicago May Day "demands" list, courtesy of your open borders advocate and windbag Jesse Jackson.

I still have one question I would like to have any open-borders advocate answer before we debate anymore. Is Mexico going to change it's own deportation and border security policies?

Not all workers are really injured . . .

Worker's Compensation issues take up the bulk of my work and free time these days. I am always fascinated when I read about injured workers who receive thousands of dollars of treatment and money for living expenses, only to wind up being declared a complete disaster medically. Then, a settlement is proposed and arranged and miracle of miracles, they are able to go right back to work doing the same occupation they were doing before, despite a supposed reputable doctor indicating they could not possibly do the work again, hence the need for a large cash settlement.

I am real big on prosecuting Worker's Compensation fraud. Unfortunately, despite their being rampant fraud in the system, most cases never make it to a prosecutor's desk, because there are so many cases to pick and choose from. Therefore, I will take the next best thing: being caught red-handed and having the perpetrator's case thrown out.

All the troops must go, except, well, maybe for a few

One of the biggest differences between the Republican nominee and the two Democrat candidates has been over the troop presence in Iraq. Both Clinton and Obama (see also here and here) have rallied their supporters into a furor by stating all the troops will be out of Iraq right after the election.

Except Obama does not really mean that.

Or maybe he does mean it, but not really like he says during his speeches.

But lets give him a break. After all, Clinton cannot guarantee it either.

Now mind you, this is just one person on his campaign staff. After all, there have been no other examples of campaign staffers for the Democrats making comments that the candidate did not endorse? That never happens, right?

But back to the topic at hand. If the polling data is correct and the American public is as opposed to the war as liberals claim they are, then why can one not stick to a troop withdrawal strategy?
