Group Rallies Downtown For Immigration Reform
Bishop Says Governors Should Keep American Dream Alive

DES MOINES, Iowa -- About 100 people rallied Saturday about a block from the National Governors Association summer meeting to call for immigration reform.

Kirk Martin, of Catholic Charities, said the group is calling on the nation's governors to take action.

Participants wore white ribbons and carried signs in English and Spanish that read, "I am an immigrant not a criminal,'' and "We are here and we're not leaving.''

Bishop Gregory Palmer, of the Iowa Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, said the governors should work to make America greater and to keep the American dream alive.

Um, folks, if you're an immigrant who came here illegally, then you ARE a criminal. By definition, "illegal" means "against the law" which means that if you do something illegal, you're committing a CRIME.

If you're here legally, I'm all for it. There's plenty of room for you here.

But the immigration reform that really needs to happen is called BORDER CONTROL.

I'm not sure I'd care as much if we didn't have Islamofascist terrorists trying to smuggle suitcase nukes into our country. Actually, it's probably moot, because they're likely already here. Let's just say that I'm not planning any trips to NYC, Boston, LA, Miami or DC any time soon. I'll stick to my quiet corner of the heartland, thank you.
