Patrick to illegals: "Make a baby, you can stay"

Governor Deval Patrick has a few things to say about the illegal immigrants rounded up yesterday in New Bedford.

The plight of families affected by a New Bedford immigration raid is a "humanitarian crisis" and it's not over, Gov. Deval Patrick said Friday.

The governor's description of the fallout from Tuesday's raid on the Michael Bianco Inc. factory came as he announced that some detainees who are being held out of state are being released and returned to Massachusetts.

Five children and two mothers are among the people being released Friday, he said.

"Our focus is on the children and those other vulnerable people who were affected by this," he said. "It is a humanitarian crisis and it is not over yet."

Wow, a 'humanitarian crisis'!? Isn't that a little over-dramatic, Deval? These people broke the law. If they cared about their kids, they wouldn't have ever put themselves , especially their children, in that kind of a situation to begin with, but bah! Who needs responsibility? We arrest parents all over the United States every day for all sorts of crimes. Many of them are found guilty. Now illegals get to stay with their kids just because they're ILLEGAL?

Memo from Patrick to Illegals: "Want to Stay? Make Babies. TONS of 'em". Did he mention he'll pay for their college tuition too? My only question is: Does each one come with a free credit card?

Patrick apparently said during the campaign that illegal immigration was a federal issue. So why is he making phone calls trying to insure that hundreds of law-breakers are being permitted to stay in the state? This was mere weeks after Patrick announced he was not going to allow state troopers to cooperate with immigration officials.

Despite all of this rhetoric and pseudo chest-thumping, Patrick knew this raid was going to occur. He was told by Federal Officials it was going to happen. He let it happen. But then Deval realized something:


Nothing gets mini-scandals off the front page of a newspaper like starting a little race-fight!

We've all heard the story before: The evil honkeys and some uncle toms too, again, coming in and unjustly rounding up all the 'undocumented' workers and shipping them back to their country because we're all spiteful and racist for enforcing our laws. It will galvanize Deval's base, make him look like a champion of minority rights. Then he could go back to Pod-Casts and possibly open up a chain of taxpayer-funded Coffee Shops and we can all forget about those rocky days in early March.

This, ladies and gentleman, is our Governor. Next time, please vote for an adult.
