I've always suspected something about the ACLU...

According to this page of the ACLU website, their policy states that the right to bear arms applies only to a well regulated militia. They say that gun registration and licensing is permissible. Apparently, they've missed the 10th Amendment, but I digress because I've come up with a better way to deride them.

They don't seem to realize how Title 10 of the United States Code defines a militia. Title 10 states that all males between the ages of 17 and 45 are members of the militia (with certain exceptions, which I'm not going to get into at the moment because they are beside my point of deriding the ACLU) and female citizens that are members of the National Guard. Quite simply, if you're a woman or if you are over 45, then you are not a member of the militia. The ACLU quite clearly says that only members of the militia should be allowed to own firearms. Since I'm a member of the militia, but my younger sister that is also an adult is not, I can only conclude that the ACLU is made up of a bunch of sexist bigots that whose nightmare is firearms in the hands of women, or heck, everybody because then those cretins are likely to be out of a job.

Ok. U.S. Immigration policy is messed up!

Recently, I got to go on a ride-along with police officers, in a local jurisidiction. Anyway, at one point, the officers were dispatched to a domestic dispute involving two people, one of whom spoke little English and the other who apparently spoke no English. This is not a hotel that I'm talking about here. That suggests that they are not tourists. This is an apartment complex, which suggests that they intend long term residence. One person speaks very little English and the other speaks no English which suggests that they are not United States citizens. By very little English, I mean the police had to call in an officer that spoke Spanish to translate.

Guess what the catch is? The cops cannot even ask them for their immigration papers, to determine whether or not they are violating United States law. Well, that kinda sucks. It's racial profiling to ask someone that doesn't speak English and is living in an apartment for immigration papers. Heaven forbid. If they do, they'd probably get sued by the ACLU or some moonbat because they are "abusing" the poor migrant worker that just wants to live and work in peace.

As we saw from 9/11, the INS is fairly incompetent at catching people that don't really want to follow the law. Doesn't it make sense that we allow local cops, since they have the most contact with the public, to ask about immigration papers? It would only enhance our capabilities of locating illegal immigrants by a few hundred thousand officers or so, so it's not too big of a deal.
