Detroit files largest municipal bankruptcy case in U.S. history

Detroit-City-is-Virtually-BankruptAnd this is somehow news?

My reply is this: boo-frakking-hoo.

A city historically run by Leftists, managed by Leftists, funded by Leftists, who had and has no grasp of reality, who are budget-ignorant, who think that money grows on trees and also magically flows from DC — ?  Go down with your ship, Leftists.  And take your black city administrators with you, like Mayor Dave “Clueless” Bing, who makes $143,000 a year.

I couldn’t care less.  Doesn’t affect me.

Clapper: I gave ‘erroneous’ answers because I forgot about the Patriot Act

Right.

You “equivocated.”  You “parsed.”

I submit, sir, you bald-faced LIED.  And you need to be PROSECUTED and tried CRIMINALLY.  You are the Director of National Intelligence, confirmed in 2010.

Clapper’s incompetence first here.

Question: “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?”

James Clapper needs to be fired and to have his pension completely eradicated.

At worst, truly, he will be rolled into ObakaKare and have to face the same consequences you and I now face.  What an onerous price to pay!  Horrible!  Terrible!

From the GuardianUK.com (again, UK media vs US media):

The most senior US intelligence official told a Senate oversight panel that he “simply didn’t think” of the National Security Agency’s efforts to collect the phone records of millions of Americans when he testified in March that it did “not wittingly” snoop on their communications.

James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, made the comments in a letter to the Senate intelligence committee, released in full for the first time on Tuesday.

Portions of the letter, in which Clapper apologised for giving “clearly erroneous” testimony at a March hearing of the committee, were first reported by the Washington Post on Monday. Clapper had previously said that his answer to the committee was the “least untruthful” one he could publicly provide.

In the full letter, Clapper attempted to explain the false testimony by saying that his recollection failed him. “I simply didn’t think of Section 215 of the Patriot Act,” he wrote to committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (Democrat, California) on 21 June, referring to the legal provision cited to justify the mass collection of Americans’ phone data, first disclosed by the Guardian.

Summary: LIES.

Former Mexican official: Immigrants will become Mexico’s burden if US doesn’t take more

Just when you believe you have not read the most idiotic stuff on the internet, you find that your thresholds are moved.

From DailyCaller.com:

A former Mexican cabinet member says the U.S. should accept more low-skill migrants from Central America, because otherwise the migrants would stay in Mexico.

If they can’t get into the United States, “they’re going to stay in Mexico, creating a burden for us that we have to carry,” Jorge Castañeda said on “Al Punto,” a Spanish-language show on Univision.

“I think Mexico should raise its voice much more clearly and forcefully to say that if the United States wants a wall, it needs to have more doors in this wall, with more bells at these doors so that Mexicans and Central Americans can enter the United States with papers,” he said, as translated.

In terms of Schadenfreude, I can’t think of anything more joyful.  Mexico to have to “take” South American “iimigrants”?  Boo-damned-hoo.

I can clearly recall my Mexican tour guides on the Mexican Riviera cruise via Holland America Lines saying: “Don’t be fooled.  Don’t give money to those people (on the sidewalk), they are here from Honduras and are looking for free cash.  They do nothing for us but take jobs and cash.”

Because, after all, Mexico’s immigration policy is infinitely more Draconian than that of the United States.  Yet NO ONE mentions this.

Mexico’s laws regarding “immigration” state:

Mexico’s main immigration law welcomes only foreigners deemed useful to Mexican society:

_ Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)

_ Immigration officials must “ensure (that) immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and that of their dependents. (Article 34)

_ Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence has upset “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” if they are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” if they are not good citizens in their own country, if they have broken Mexican laws, or if “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.” (Article 37)

_ The secretary of governance may “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.” (Article 38)

Mexican authorities keep track of every person in the country:

_ Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request: i.e., help in the arrest of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)

_ A National Population Registry tracks every “individual who comprises (sic) the population of the country,” verifying each individual’s identity. (Articles 85 and 86)

_ A national Catalogue of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), assigning each a tracking number. (Article 91)

Foreigners with fake papers or who enter the country under false pretenses may be imprisoned:

_ Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned.

(Article 116)

_ Foreigners who sign government documents “with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses” are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116)

Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons:

_ Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)

_ Deported foreigners who try to re-enter Mexico without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)

_ Foreigners who violate terms of their visa may be sentenced for up to six years in prison. (Articles 119, 120, and 121) Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa (as by working without a permit) can also be imprisoned.

Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says:

_ “A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of 300 to 5,000 pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)

_ Foreigners with immigration problems may be deported, rather than imprisoned. (Article 125)

_ Foreigners who “(make attempts) against national sovereignty or security” will be deported. (Article 126)

Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are considered criminals:

_ A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)

_ Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)
