NY pols overstepping their bounds

From the NY Post:

It's easy for New York politicians to pronounce against Arizona's new illegal-alien law. They're 2,000 miles away from the socially corrosive consequences of a failed economy -- and a raging, narcotics-fueled border war that has already claimed some 23,000 lives.

But just imagine how sanguine they'd be if a half-million poverty-wracked economic refugees flooded the city from Canada -- or, maybe more to the point, from New Jersey.

And if the federal government refused to enforce existing immigration laws.

Not very, we imagine.

So they blithely call for anti-Arizona boycotts and divestment. And ugly allusions to South African apartheid roll from their lips.

City Council members, for starters, introduced a resolution urging New Yorkers to shun Arizona and its businesses.

City Comptroller John Liu is exploring ways to cut the city's financial ties to the beleaguered state.

Yet a Pew poll found that 59 percent of Americans back the law -- and some 73 percent are OK specifically with having cops ask for immigration documents.

They get it.

If New York's pols did, they'd push for a meaningful federal fix.

But don't expect that: After all, it might deprive them of their grandstand.


It's funny how they throw hissy fits when they feel that fellow pols stepped on their toes by holding a press conference in their territory. Yet they have the balls to introduce a resolution denouncing something happening on the other side of the country? Shouldn't they be focused on the budget right now?

John Lui is not blind to the fact that undocumented Chinese in his district and now througout the city make his supporters and business associates very rich and don't wish to upset this gravy train. By enslaving his own and turning a blind eye to how empoverished Chinese illegals are in this city, he is encouraging other illegal activities such as tax evasion, theft of services of the legitimate citizens and proliferation of crime which controls these illegal Chinese folks. This is not a new story but rather a new bizarre twist on a long history of abuse illegal Chinese folks endure in this country. Shame on John Lui for encouraging, exploiting and supporting illegal immigrants in NYC. I don't see John Lui supporting Mexican and latin American illegal immigrants, do you?

To all basketball fans out there:

Please support L.A. Lakers coach Phil Jackson!

Here's what he said regarding Arizona:

“Am I crazy, or am I the only one that heard [the legislature] say ‘we just took the United States immigration law and adapted it to our state,’” Jackson said.

“It’s not usurping, it’s just copying it is what they said they did, and then they gave it some teeth to be able to enforce it,” Jackson said.

Then he mildly scolded the Suns.

“I don’t think teams should get involved in the political stuff. And I think this one’s still kind of coming out to balance as to how it’s going to be favorably looked upon by our public. If I heard it right the American people are really for stronger immigration laws, if I’m not mistaken. Where we stand as basketball teams, we should let that kind of play out and let the political end of that go where it’s going to go.”

all even though the arizona law was drastic, what do you expect when the federal govt does nothing about illegals right under their noses. just in chinatown and flushing you have so many illegals who are eating animals alive on their plates. Kick that 3rd world shit out of here

Yesterday, I was leaving the Home Depot in LIC and standing by the door was a young Chinese woman selling illegally-copied DVD's of current movies (Robin Hood, Iron Man, etc.) She held up, fanned-out, 5 covers of what she had available in her shoulder bag. I held the 5 in my hands - I had physical possession of the lot - and asked her how much? She said "five dollars each". I yelled at her that what she was doing was illegal. (It was copyright infringement.) I wanted to seize the illegal contraband for reporting to the police. (Unfortunately, my Flip video was still in my pocket.) She grabbed the 5 covers back and we had a tug-of-war which she won. She was too fast for me. She then exited the store, rounded the corner at Northern Boulevard and headed elsewhere. I lost sight of her in the crowd.

BTW, as she was leaving she waved to the guard at the door, who smiled back at her friendly. He was perplexed why she was leaving. I'm sure he was thinking that she was doing a service selling DVD's cheaply to the citizenry. Clueless.

I'd like to know just WHO she was in the employ of?

TIP to the readers: If you see similar activity, seize the goods and call 911 on your cell phone. See something; say something. Be a good citizen. (and the next time, I'll have my video on beforehand. This described incident happened too fast.)
