The most well known of this years ICE raids took place in Postville, Iowa in May. About 400 Guatemalans and Mexicans were arrested, jailed and deported for the crime of working hard in America without the proper paperwork. This Sunday buses with a few hundred pro immigration protesters from around the Midwest came to Postville to have their say. Bishop Jerome Hanus and Rabbi Harold Kravitz who helped organize the demonstration spoke at the gates of Agriprocessors, the nation’s biggest kosher meatpacking plant. Protesters rally against immigration raid in Iowa
The signs of the protesters read:
Citizenship Yes! Deportation No!
and
United States for Immigrant and Worker Rights.
This issue of course brings out the counter demonstrations who are usually laden in patriotic garb and gadgets and angry red faces. In this case about 75 people, one of whom was Claire Jamison who came all the way from Minneapolis to let her views be known with her sign:
What Would Jesus Do? Obey the Law!
While Barack Obama is being roasted by Republicans for playing nice with those damn Frogs and Krauts on foreign soil, they laugh at he and the Democrats for losing the hearts and minds of Middle Americans like Claire Jamison, a good Christian woman who is so mud dumb stupid she doesn’t even know that her religion is based upon her Jesus being executed for not obeying the law! Gosh… Dumber than mud.
And it’s a sure bet that Claire – a fine example of America’s intelligent voting public – is a conservative Republican (or soldier for Ron Paul), a Rush Limbaugh Dittohead, a member of the Savage Nation wears flags instead of underwear, has more guns than brains and wouldn’t vote for a Black guy if it was her own father.
Ms Jamison is the cause of this great mystery concerning the polling number disconnect between Obama and McCain. She represents the so called intelligent voting public – which if it ever existed at all – fell to the wayside with the advent of cable news networks. Profit driven news gives us mostly Britney, Paris and matter of sex. News has become what we want to hear rather than what we should be hearing.
