Politics Joe Arpaio Will Run For A U.S. Senate Seat, Pledging Support For Trump

Again, go home, you're drunk

 

If you wanted to go to Canada without a passport, you'd be locked up at the border.
I think the point you're missing due to the messenger (both Arpaio and Maris) is that if you wanted to bring a dog or a rosebush into CA, you would need a health exam for it or it would be confiscated and burned. They have checkpoints at basically every major entrance to the state. You might say there's a "wall" of checkpoints set up to stop people from bringing in plants and pets. But since it's illegal immigrants who are being discussed, there seems to be a dichotomy. Does CA care about diseases that affect the population, or not?

I've had apples and cherries taken away from me at the I-5 checkpoint. Never have traveled with a pet, though, so YMMV.

 

OK, I'll stick to humans, but I was bringing up the point that CA doesn't let fucking cherries into the state, but doesn't care about illegal immigrants.
I've been strip-searched in Charles de Gaulle, with a passport. And checked with every CBRN detection device at their disposal. To come back into the US you have to declare whether or not you've been on a farm or near livestock, because you're subject to medical questions and potentially an exam. If you have (and don't disclose) you're subject to confinement. And it's not just us.
You can't sail a ship into the most ports (I know for the Bahamas and in West Africa) without a detailed declaration of health.
I had to get a visa to go to Ghana. I had to show shot charts to get the visa.
Australia -- full medical exam and proof of insurance required.
New Zealand - exam and chest x-ray.
And it's not just the racist white Christian devils doing it. Feel like going to Hajj?

And if you're coming from Africa, they straight up just administer it to you preventatively.

Forget that Arpaio was the one that said it. The point that law-abiding citizens and law-abiding visitors and law-abiding immigrants "get their ass checked", and that CA confiscates cherries and checks out pets, but we collectively turn a blind eye when "Illegal immigration" is at the heart of it is not logical. In fact, turning a blind eye toward illegal immigration causes a lot of problems for the immigrant. There are tons of anecdotes (many of which I've brought up before). In West Seattle Somali women and their families were being shoved 10 at a time into an unheated attic and charged over $1k (and I shudder to think about physical and sexual abuse) with no ability for help b/c their captors are holding their deportation over their head. Instead of showing them how to apply for asylum, or immigration status, or whatever.

Edit: Links keep deleting. I'll edit them after this posts.

 

So we're actually talking about giving immigrants socialized medicine?!?

 

Picking strawberries as a kid doesn't make you a farmer.

 

I bucked hay on Ken Kesey's ranch.

 

Lol. That was good.
