I report. You decide.

Well, well, look at how Madame DeLadd censors and slants over at her lil ole progressive alternative weekly "newspaper". Seems that on this thread on immigration, she didn't like some of the comments being made and deleted them as well as slanting the finished product more to her liking. Here is the censored version (The full thread is published in the comments section below): Immigration McCarthyism. Someone with too much time on his hands noticed this and sent it to me. Since jackassery is a featured part of this blog and at times its guiding philosophy, I decided to post the two versions for you. Enjoy.

Those aren't exactly unbiased sources.

Be sure to also read Adam Lynch's cover story about the myths and realities of undocumented immigration.

The third group Brittanicus lists under "Read the facts at...," American Patrol (americanpatrol.com), is identified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. It's operated by Glenn Spencer, whose, uhm, scholarship is somewhat dubious. From the SPLC page:

"Sometimes, Spencer's racial paranoia seems to get the better of him. One night in 2003, thinking he was hearing noises outside his Sierra Vista, Ariz., home, he grabbed a gun and started shooting into the dark. He managed to hit a neighbor's garage, among other things, and was charged with four felonies. But charges like that have a habit of going away in Southeastern Arizona. In Spencer's case, his felony charges were reduced to one misdemeanor. He was fined $2,500 and given a year's probation. His lease was also terminated and he was forced to move away, taking up residence in a trailer in unincorporated Cochise County."

The 37 million figure could also be described as a shot in the dark. Most credible estimates, based on actual data, place the number at 11 to 15 million.

"We need the SAVE ACT and E-verify used for every business and NOT Amnesty.

E-verify does not discriminate against RACE, Religion, SEX or physically capability only your Citizenship and your LEGAL right to be and work in United States. If we can stop Predatory business owners from hiring then the Illegal Aliens will not Stay and return to their native Countries.

This ISSUE is not about RACE, but Governments Federal/State/LOCAL not doing their jobs, because big and small business owners want cheap workers and no labor laws to bother with. Its called GREED!

The only RACISTS are the single RACE agenda GROUPS like La RAZA, Mecha, Aztlan and ETC....Whose main goal is take our Western States back to Mexico.

Both Liberals and Conservatives need to take some pride in our Country and protect it from all invading nations citizens and corporate GREED.


Please, NO IMMIGRANT BASHING or HATE Crimes. HATE only feeds the single RACE agenda groups for Open Borders and the Media."

Thanks, Tom. Here in Mississippi, we've learned (or should have) that we have to be careful where we get our "facts."

Thank you for being a proud and thoughtful American.

Here in Georgia, we passed the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act aimed at protecting Americans from the organized crime of illegal immigration and illegal employment in 2006.

We heard the same mindless, race-baiting howls of opposition that Mississippi citizens are hearing and reading on your SB 2988.

The well-funded illegal alien/open borders lobby, lacking the rule of law, the support of the majority of the American people or any basis in logic or common sense has been spewing the same un-American hate-speech for generations.

You can't envy the job of convincing the public that we need more "willing workers" when each day's headlines bring more and worse news about record levels of unemployment and government budget cuts for Americans.

Early in the last century, before many labor leaders turned against the American worker, Samuel Gompers, the founder of the American Federation of Labor had this to say about legislation intended to control immigration: "Every effort to enact immigration legislation must expect to meet a number of hostile forces and, in particular, two hostile forces of considerable strength. One of these is composed of corporation employers who desire to employ physical strength at the lowest possible wage and who prefer a rapidly revolving labor supply at low wages to a regular supply of American wage earners at fair wages. The other is composed of racial groups in the United States who oppose all restrictive legislation because they want the doors left open for an influx of their countrymen regardless of the menace to the people of their adopted country."

Gompers failed to mention willing editorial writers. Memo to yours: When it comes to illegal immigration, there is no such thing as “cheap labor”. It is taxpayer subsidized labor and most illegals would qualify for a rebate if they were to file a tax return with their stolen ID.

Is “illegal” some new race of people?

And for your reporter: “Immigrants”, by federal definition, join the American family lawfully. The most shameless anti-immigrant smear possible is to participate in the attempt to blur the line between them and what the government calls “illegal aliens” who howl “racism” at any suggestion that they not be allowed to choose which American laws apply to them.

An easy way to discern the difference: immigrants do not require amnesty.

The obvious truth being proven here and literally everywhere immigration law is applied is that enforcement works. As a direct result of our legislation, illegal aliens are migrating out of Georgia for more hospitable locals. The effect is that wages and benefits go up and public benefits go to the Americans for whom they are intended.

How radical and extreme ehh?

The new Mississippi law brings your state more inline with the way immigration and employment is enforced to our south. Bill Chandler, the shameless race-hustler who is apparently the local far left open borders organizer there hopes that you won’t realize that Mexico uses troops to secure its borders and has an enthusiastic and efficient enforcement system to deport any illegal alien who makes it into that country – most of whom happen to be Hispanic.

“Ethnic cleansing” indeed.

Brave Border Patrol Agents are risking their lives to protect our borders. The concept that we should reward those who escape apprehension is sickening beyond description.

Amnesty was proven a clear failure more than twenty years ago. There are two possible solutions to the illegal immigration threat remaining: law enforcement or officially open borders.

All concerned need to pick a side.

The Free Press’ editorial writer, Bill Chandler and Frank Curiel have.

Yuck.

An easy way to discern the difference: immigrants do not require amnesty.

An argument, that, of course, ignores the fact that someone has to decide WHO is illegal and who isn't.

Our current quota system for determining who is eligible for "legal" immigration and who isn't simply doesn't reflect reality here in the North American Free Trade Zone.

That's why people from John McCain to George Bush to John Kerry and Barack Obama has sought to find common ground, common language and common sense for the problem of illegal immigration, undocumented workers and, particularly, Latino immigrants who've been in the U.S. for many years as productive citizens.

All concerned need to pick a side.

No, they don't. IMHO, all concerned need to approach the issue with an open heart, an open mind, and the sense that as a country we can do more than just "lobby" and "fight." We can actually solve problems.

*That's why people from John McCain to George Bush to John Kerry and Barack Obama has sought to find common ground, common language and common sense for the problem of illegal immigration, undocumented workers and, particularly, Latino immigrants who've been in the U.S. for many years as productive citizens*.

Nice try - but illegal aliens are NOT U.S. citizens. Your argument would be much more honest if you would just admit that you regard borders and immigration laws as human rights violations.

Just say it: we need to all be citizens of the planet and forget about those old fashioned nations!

Mexico and every other nation decide "who is illegal". For US that would be anyone who enters without permission and is in excess of the more than one million real immigrants we take in each year. Still stuck on the we need more workers nonsense ehh?

No reason to reply to what I am sure will be coming: mindless assurances that we need more people in the United States with zero basis in reality for that silly argument.

But it sure beats finding the courage to defend your country ehh?

PS...illegals have documents - stolen from Americans.
Too funny and revealing that the JFP declined to publish my response...but the far left practices "less is more" when it comes to poking holes in the "everyone who doesn't agree with us is obviously a cold hearted racist" response.

Don't look now, but illegals are leaving Mississippi because some of your legislators do have courage.

HernandezUSA, it is against our user policy to repeat the same post over and over again. That is considered trolling. Your duplicate comment has been deleted.

American worker, we are not interested in publishing pieces by people from other states who do Web sites pushing the idea that immigrants are trying to "colonize" the United States, and other scare tactics. For the record, I would not have provided a forum for the popular "blacks should go back to Africa" meme of the 1960s, either. This is not a hate site or one for fringe ideas; you have your own; please exercise your right to post anything you want on it.

It also against our policy to keep re-registering under different names once you've been suspended for violating our user agreement. Please move on.

This is the kind of statement that makes the anonymous anti-illegals trolls look really, really goody. People with these ideas are so paranoid that they think that anyone who doesn't believe that Mexicans are trying to "colonize" must, in turn, not believe in borders. It's this kind of binary us-v.-them thinking that has our country in such a mess right now.

The issue is not that everyone is a "cold, hard racist" who believes in a good immigration policy. Of course, that's not true. What is sad is that there are many racists who are the loudest in the debate and get people to go along with their extreme ideas with scare tactics and bad information. This is not a site where that information will be passed along as propaganda. If you're not here to have an intelligent conversation about what immigration policy should be in this country—and if you can't comprehend why just saying something is illegal in turn justifies current policy rather than discussing what "illegal" should mean—you don't belong here.

Not in the least surprised. That is, after all, what propagandists do.

It looks like Diva Ladd pulled that right out of the Communist playbook by deleting the comments which by the way, is standard operating procedure at the JFP. She was sneering about intelligent commentary—does she actually read the posts people put on her website? My point here is that this cat smoke checked her and her ace reporter by presenting the facts it didn’t meet their far left, anti-American, your racist if you don’t believe anything I say about illegal aliens agenda thus it found it s way down the old memory tube and out of existence.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
