No, I'm not sleeping. There aren't many articles I wanted to comment about.

There are a couple of things going on but I'm not getting good information.

South Carolina passing tough anti-illegal laws?

Senator Jim Ritchie (R-Spartanburg) and the South Carolina Senate unanimously passed the “toughest illegal immigration reform bill in the nation.” The bill passed is a tight net of
enforceable provisions that will capture willful violators. The bill contains the most stringent fines in the nation, which are designed to drive illegal aliens out of South Carolina.

The bill creates the South Carolina Verify method, a state verification system with aggressive enforcement provisions that will be monitored and checked by South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulations. As opposed to federal E-Verify, SC Verify gives the state the authority to enforce citizenship requirements and scrutinize the legal status of all South Carolina workers. The new state verification system is the first of its kind in the nation.

Mexico total hypocrits on illegal immigration.

While Mexican immigrants led the charge in Chicago and other cities Thursday to push the U.S. government to treat illegal immigrants more humanely, the same demands for immigrant rights are festering in Mexico, which is facing mounting international criticism for how it treats Latin American migrants.

In April, diplomats from El Salvador and Honduras formally protested after dozens of their citizens accused Mexican authorities of brutality while they were detained.

That same month, the top UN advocate for migrant rights toured the country and proclaimed that "the impunity with which Mexico victimizes Central American immigrants makes it the principal violator of human rights on the American continent."

  2. Riff, Mexico just voted to lighten up on their penalties on illegals specifically to deflect some of the criticism directed at them for the hypocrisy. I don't know what their penalties are , now.
