Do you support amnesty? Well, it might depend on what the meaning of amnesty is.

Our own leaders say they don’t believe in an amnesty for illegal aliens, but what they call a non-amnesty is simply another scheme to reward illegal aliens by legalizing them.

Malaysia, however, has a another definition for amnesty. In Malaysia, an amnesty means giving illegal aliens time to get out of the country before authorities go after them. After that, they are fair game for detention.

A couple of years ago, Malaysia had a crackdown on illegal aliens. An article entitled “Malaysia Launches Massive Crackdown on Illegal Immigrants” tells what happened when the amnesty period was over:

“Those who refuse to leave voluntarily and employers who hire them will face whipping, jail or fines if they are caught.”

Notice that Malaysia punishes both the illegal aliens and their Malaysian employers. Wouldn’t that be something, if prominent American employers of illegal aliens were publicly whipped ?

Malaysia’s immigration enforcement director, a gentleman by the name of Ishak Mohammed, put it this way:

”They know now that we mean business. We have given them ample time to do the right thing but they have chosen to remain defiant. Now, time has run out and they will have to face the consequences.”

Since our high-level law enforcement officials most assuredly do not mean business, should we consider outsourcing our own immigration enforcement to the Malaysians?

Following up on James Fulford’s blog that Al Sharpton is no one to throw stones at Don Imus regarding what is and is not “sensitive” I’ll add that the same observation should be made of Jesse Jackson.

In a lengthy interview on the Today Show, co-host Meredith Vieira asked Jackson what the difference was, sensitivity-wise, between Imus’ comments about the Rutgers womens basketball team and his 1984 comment that New York is run by “Hymies” and is “Hymietown.”

Jackson, completely tongue-tied, gave a lame non-response about abuse of federal airwaves, etc. But he was clearly caught with his pants down.

Dispatches From The Hogtown Front recently highlighted something I said in 2001

I suggest that the Western World in general and America in particular stop apologizing until we receive an apology (accompanied by suitable reparations), for the fall of Constantinople.

I’d like to revise and extend my remarks to say that NOBODY should apologize to Al Sharpton for anything until he apologizes for Tawana Brawley Hoax, and pays reparations to the people he got killed in Freddy’s Fashion Mart, and stops making offensive remarks of his own.

Even though Imus remarks were actually offensive, even by the standards of those of us who have sworn upon the altar of God eternal never to be sensitive, it would be a bad thing if Imus, who is a rare opponent of amnesty in the media, were to lose his job over something like this.

And while I don’t think Sharpton cares about amnesty, I do think David Brock does.
