That POS is dead from an overdose. 
 

I am reminded of Bill Hicks’ bit about feeling lighter.

There but for the grace of God go I.

Couple of decades ago, was not really into my job and ready to drift, Because I was a driftah, yeah. Anyway, had good record in Military Police, spoke OK Spanish. Border Patrol was hiring. I may not have still been in now, but shitty soul-killing encounters aren't exclusive to now.

This dude wouldn't have cracked up unless he knew inside that many of his deeds were wrong.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to the opinion that bad people is more about bad situations and bad brain chemistry. Jesus’s message to not judge, just love, rings truer as I get balder.

But I’d still beat the shit out of Stephen Miller given the chance.

It's been super heartening seeing the number of people willing to put targets on their own backs in the name of decency. Be it this guy or the hundreds following around ICE, filming them, and reminding them what gigantic cowards they are.

An editorial that captured this dystopian world of weaponized, militarized, official-government-policy white supremacy pretty fucking well:

Bottom line, that's it.  That's the legal approach and regime we're dealing with.

I fucking hate these people so fucking much.  And if you support them, I fucking hate you too, and I hope that even 1/10th of the hell you support is visited on you and yours one day.

What's the Tom Cruise movie where they predict crimes before they happen and punish people who haven't yet committed a crime?  Minority Report?

That's the direction of this type of shit.

Fittingly, it’s called minority report.

I know my travel patterns back about 15 yers ago have to have bleeped some bloops, first I'd stop and visit family in the Hill Country, all of whom were terrified of Mexico (C'mon Dad, they don't cut EVERYbody's head off) so I'd always pop over a bridge alone with a wad of cash and an unhurried demeanor, find my items that I could triple on eBay, pull em on the front seat right there in the open, no ma'am nothing to declare, then they'd go all around my faithful old rat-wagon tapping its interestingly-bondo'd hull, wave me through. For I was the Han Solo of hand-stitched Puebla blouses, the good homemade ones with puffy thread.

One time I dropped down the backside from Abilene after making a sale to dude for 11 Franklins that I popped in a sock and did a good chunk of the Border from Del Rio to Laredo. I'd make camp on the Mexican side, patrol around on foot, then jam a chair under the motel door and sleep til dawn. Then, with no particular haste, I would track down as many traditional Puebla blouses as they had, make a "we both still make money" offer for the lot. All friendly and they'd usually go pull some extras out of the back that'd been duds since 1992 and we'd find a happy price. Then I'd go back on the American side and mail the whole bundle Priority Mail back to Bama.

That road down closest to the river is somewhat stark. If you get the jeebies from being watched by hidden eyes, it will be quite stimulating. Quemado was an oasis from a silent movie. BP looked pure Aztec, I figure he of all of them had authority to allow me on the continent. I sat watching the bridge in Eagle Pass for 15 minutes and just didn't feel it. Took the little river road down to Laredo, parked over the bus station, and went into Nuevo Laredo trying my usual tricks but all they had were (possibly Chinese) clothes that I'd have to pay 13 dollars for to make a measly 2 extra, no town for me, so I styled over to Banco Elektra and turned the Puebla Blouse Fund into a bag full of silver Libertads, preferably the chunkier old ones.

So yeah, I like stories.

My small-time shopping weekend may have eventually pulled in a thousand profit, but at every stop I wondered how incongruous, how "why is this guy here" the whole thing was. I was almost the only guy on that route, driving a fairly odd little car. They had to get bored and checked with each other. Odd time.

This is def his breakout year. I don't think I've heard a bad or poorly written song from him. Whole catalogue of socially conscious folk bangers.

They’re in New Orleans now. I just got out of a meeting where the firm was deciding whether to put a sign on the front door saying  “No ICE or law-enforcement of any jurisdiction are allowed to enter the building absent a signed search warrant. No employees have authority to grant access; contact firm owners”…

…or whether once somebody saw that notice and told ICE that would put us on their radar.  We are a predominantly Hispanic firm, employee wise, and well known in the community.

Yay ‘Murca!

They will look at that as a Welcome sign. Something, something, your feelings. You must have worked for undocumented so we're just gonna take all your records to take a looky lou.

We have less of those after the Louisiana legislature passed a bill that says undocumented aliens may not recover damages for being injured in auto accidents in Louisiana.

Put your Maga hat on and fire up your pickup truck.   Feel free to blow through stop signs and traffic lights at high-speed while listening to Kid Rock, because if you cripple or kill some undocumented kids, you can just point at those little brown criminals and laugh while calling ICE on the survivors.

Goddamn.

That has got to be unconstitutional, even in the Fifth Circuit.

We have upgraded the quality and number of surveillance cameras, and are making sure that real time video is stored in the cloud in case ‘we said they said’ ever becomes an issue.

There is a small logistical problem. Once we identify our clients in federal court as being undocumented, we run the risk of getting ICE laser focused to deport them.  

The Louisiana legislature did extend our statute of limitations to two years very recently, and so if we have an undocumented client who returns to their country, preferably a child who has not capable of intentionally violating immigration laws or assuming illegal Social Security identification, we might file something.  

The test case obviously needs to portray that client in the best possible light.   Bad facts make bad law and all.

Just as an FYI for all who may be interested--an Eastern Airlines 777 just landed at AUS.  Eastern Airlines is a charter company that has been used extensively by ICE to run deportation flights.
