Governor Bredesen, in a move that I find so surprising that I almost fell off my chair, signs an illegal immigration bill into law that directs jailers to report illegal immigrants already in jail to ICE, to face deportation.

This is not as broad as Arizona's law. Unfortunately, you already have to be in jail to get asked if you should have been in jail already.

How in the world did a Democrat ever find enough cahoneys to sign this bill? Remarkable. Bredesen must not have any interest in running for anything political for a few more years. Which is fine with me; he's done things that deserve my ire, including vetoing the concealed carry in nice restaurants bill two years running. And digging that giant pothole under the Governor's mansion, the 'Party Bunker', for to woo political donors for years to come. A shame it didn't flood to ruin.

Of course, this measure brought anger from the usual leftards: the ACLU, who postured thusly:

The bill was opposed by immigrant groups and the Tennessee chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. ACLU-Tennessee Executive Director Hedy Weinberg urged the governor to veto the legislation, calling it “un-American.”

In a letter, she charged the bill “effectively creates a police state” and also “invites disparate treatment of minority groups, and encourages racial profiling” — assertions rejected by the measure’s proponents

Ya stupid lying bitch, Hedy Weinberg, this 'profiling' occurs in a jail. Which last time I looked is rightly a 'police state'. These people are criminals, in jail, and if they are illegal immigrants, they deserve to be sent home. To San Francisco. Or Los Angeles. Anywhere in California, which I find to be a hopeless, useless Leftist state that I'll be happy to help any good people left there get away from, with a donation of some nice suitcases.
