a simple thing

When your music station goes from playing Ohio to Ambitionz az a Ridah in two steps, it is funny.

The more serious note: the argument of "but we're just enforcing the federal law" continues to fall on deaf ears. One assumes that if what we really wanted was the federal law enforced then we should delegate more resources to ICE and customs agents to do investigations of major smuggling or illegal employment schemes, not give federal powers to random patrol cars to hassle random immigrant-like peoples on the basis that they must all be here illegally. I submit this means what "we really want" is something else; the appearance of getting rid of an unfavorable group of people by treating them rather rudely.
