Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Tuesday was the first day of a new federal "self-deportation" program that offered 457,000 eligible illegal immigrants the chance to turn themselves in, but only one person took advantage of the offer.

Oh my god, one whole day? It's a complete failure. But 100 years in Iraq.....

" Can't I at least stay until November?"

Yeah Jomama, I expect the other 456,999 are planning to finish out the work week. But then I'm SURE they'll turn themselves in...

right???

I'd at least wait until the time was up before I made any stupid assessments. But you go right ahead.

Ya gotta give 'em some real incentives like taking their cars, houses and personal belongs in addition to some serious prison farm time for identity theft, income tax fraud, unauthorized Medicaid payments and food stamp swindling.

Can I deport myself to Cancun??? I'll buy my own return ticket.

"Ya gotta give 'em some real incentives like taking their cars, houses and personal belongs in addition to some serious prison farm time for identity theft, income tax fraud, unauthorized Medicaid payments and food stamp swindling."

Or hey, I've got a better idea, threaten them with all that stuff if they won't testify against the employers who hired them and then do all that stuff to the employers. Oh, and if it is a big corporation, top execs get to go to jail just like real people.

How about-then-we put prisoners on the same "Honor" System?
All criminals-whether convicted or not-will be asked to turn themselves over to Authorities by the middle of next week.
THAT oughta work...yeah right! ***Sarcasm Off.***

"I'd at least wait until the time was up before I made any stupid assessments."

Dick Cheney said the same thing about "flowers and chocolates".

really, who da thunk?

Reminds me of the few Americans that during the war on Korea went north and turned themselves in there...

and the date for that was.....??

The one person that turned themselves in should be given a winning lottery ticket.

Just to entice the others to do so as well. No ticket for them, but I wonder how many people we'd catch that way. Probably save us a lot of money in the long run as well.

Nobody ever leaves this country because it's the best place on earth thanks to the republicans. Libs cry, whine, and moan but the motherf#ckers never leave either.

I like the "ignore it and it will wither and die" argument.

Boys and girls, this is a good example of why you need to stay in school.

Only a GOP administration could come up with "self deportation". God what mindless fucks.

Spud remembers Mittens Romulan declaring his simple faith in the efficiency of this self deportation program back when some morons still found him to be a viable canddidate.

Mostly Spud remembers laffing his ass off at the magical underwear wearing freak-a-zoid.

Or hey, I've got a better idea, threaten them with all that stuff if they won't testify against the employers who hired them and then do all that stuff to the employers. Oh, and if it is a big corporation, top execs get to go to jail just like real people.

THIS!

Be Well.

And I suspect the one fucking idiot to turn themselves in was Fwthom mistakenly thinking he was doing early checkin for his flight the next day.

Brought to you by the same crew of incompetents that delivered "Time Horizon."

Shit, it sounds like a new scifi program from Fox.

Yep Doc your tax dollars hard at work paying for rejects from "Time Horizon"

Furio -

Say "Time Horizon" and think of a bass voice and an echo chamber and tell me what you come up with.

Ent from LOTR?

Ent from LOTR?

Woo Hoo! Spud luffs a good Ent Moot!

They take ferever but the Ent draughts are really quite sommat.

Be Well.

This is just about the STUPIDEST idea I have ever HEARD OF from the FEDS.

What would be the advantage of this for an illegal?

Forgetting of course that back during the clinton years the rightwing jackoffs spent their days whining and moaning about clintons penis and the lincoln bedroom.

At least when the left complains, it's about real issues that effect the people. And no, i don't mean democrats when i say left either.


Shawn,

I'm dissappointed in you. Of course the right wing would be shocked about the president getting oral sex from a young girl especially since they are used to getting theirs from a Freddie Mercury look a like.

Next logical step:

Mexicans will be compelled to have a taco patch
sewn on the front of their clothing - much like
the Jews in a 1940's Germany had to wear a star
of David patch on their clothing.

The subtle practice of racism is escalating into
something very obvious; a cultural genocide is
taking place in these United States. Immigrants are
human too - even if they are not of European ancestry.

Be Well.

FURIO:

FF!!!!!!!

Skip-One problem with your thinking. These people are here illegally. The fact that a majority of fence hoppers is of Latin decent does not make removing them a racist action. Now the fact that all Latins are subject to spaying and neutering, that's racist.

Cherrio Bro

Stupid program. It will never work in any signifigant numbers. Then again, I suspect it is designed to fail.

and you are all supprised.

Why is it that many people want in the US but I don't see a line of people leaving. Must be a good country.

I'm the ears and I'm running for president. We have a great country, vote for me and we will change it.

WTF over.

re: "Why is it that many people want in the US but I don't see a line of people leaving. Must be a good country."

That would make a good slogan for Republicans this year: Eight years, and still no boat people from the US to Haiti. Go Bush!

Danni--

if they won't testify against the employers who hired them


Believe it or not the law on the books from every administration is that the employees who are illegals cannot file any suit against the employer.


That law should be changed as well.

So one person showed up--I agree with Alex--give them a scratch off.

Why don't they take away the benefits, welfare and medical and free schools.

Jail the employers who hire illegals and deport or hurry up and kill the ones in prison.

"and deport or hurry up and kill the ones in prison."

Damn. What did they do to you?

"Jail the employers who hire illegals and deport or hurry up and kill the ones in prison."

Just when you thought Murphy might not be insane.....

Putting the people who hire them in jail will work. And yes, they will self-deport (of course not all of them) if there is no real incentive to stay. One study found that from a high in Aug 2007 to May 2008 there has been an 11% decline in illegals in the US. This is much larger than the number of illegals that the gov has deported. So in fact they are self-deporting.

HomewardBound

SAWDUST they may be self-deporting right now because our construction industry is kaput, when things pick up and housing is being built again they will return. If there are American jobs there are illegal immigrants to fill them.

Danni, I agree they will come and go... My point is that people who think that self-deportation is a joke are not dealing with reality. The reality is that they *do* self-deport, and to your point they also self-import... (if that is a word).

I think I know the real reason for this program; see the second update:

lonewacko.com

If my hunch is right, it's actually a good idea. And, that explains why the MSM and some leftwingers would try to portray it as a failure.

Only a GOP administration could come up with "self deportation". God what mindless fucks.

I think that the program is brilliant even if No One signs up because it negates the rants from the illegal immigrant supporters that ICE is breaking up families and traumatizing people with their raids.


I'm waiting for the argument in support of illegal immigration.

Anybody wanna offer it?

"I'm waiting for the argument in support of illegal immigration.

Anybody wanna offer it?"

well this is simple. They have always been a critical part of the US economy. 10 million+ people. Not only would removing them cripple the economy but trying to remove them would be ridiculously expensive. They are spend money in the US and many in fact pay taxes. They have a lower crime rate than your average citizen.

These people for the most part are hard working and honest. The type of people who founded America. People who have the balls to take the riskk to improve their lives and the lives of their families

It's just the fucking pussies in the US who are too lazy to work hard feel threatened by these people. Shit let's do an exchange program. Mexicans for lazy white trash Americans.

Actually you want to drop the illegals? Take down all the freaking fences and border patrols so they can come and go from the US as the temporary work requires. This used to be the case in the past.

That would make a good slogan for Republicans this year: Eight years, and still no boat people from the US to Haiti. Go Bush!

Amazing how soon people forget the Cuban Flotilla of criminals and scum during the Carter years. Will Obama emulate that idea?

Wow. Is that hypothetical or apocryphal?
