Here, I'll give you a little help.
let's take #1 on the list, "If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally ...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.
Is it or is not, a federal law that all foreigners must enter the US by legal means?
If it was left up to democrats, would people entering the US illegally be arrested and deported, yes or no?
So, if federal law states that all foreigners must be legal to remain inside our boarders, and democrat politicians, local, state and federal, do not enforce this law across the board, they are in contradiction of the law. How can you refute this?
Being that under this president - you know, the Dem one, there have been more arrests, detainments and deportation of "illegals" than under Bush.
"But some immigration-reform advocates said it is disappointing that authorities are arresting, prosecuting and incarcerating more undocumented residents who used to be processed in civil immigration courts or allowed to return to their native countries voluntarily. Advocates said federal authorities are wasting resources and taxpayer dollars by focusing on nonviolent, low-wage people who moved to this country in search of better job opportunities. It cost about $1.5 billion annually to incarcerate criminal aliens in federal prisons and reimburse state and local jails between fiscal years 2005 to 2009, according to estimates by the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
In Ohio, about 136 people were arrested and booked on immigration violations by federal authorities in fiscal year 2010, according to the most recent Bureau of Justice Statistics data. It was an increase of 77 percent from 77 arrests in 2009.
Illegal immigration was the fastest growing federal arrest offense across the country between 2005 and 2009, rising at a rate of about 23 percent each year, according to the bureau. Other federal arrest offenses include illegal weapons, drugs, violent and property crimes, which all declined in Ohio in 2010.
About 84,750 suspects across the country were arrested and booked for immigration offenses by federal law enforcement agents in 2009, up from 38,040 in 2005. "
So exactly what are you trying to say here? It is a federal law, yes. But what about this "if it were up to Democrats" part? It IS up to Democrats and they happen to be doing the opposite of what you claim. No contradiction.
If we want to examine contradictions we should add up all costs of rounding up all illegals, and the cost of their silence in law enforcement of other kinds, and then subtract the social costs of their presence. If Conservatives want them all out, and it costs more money to get them out than it does to keep them, then Conservatives are being contradictory. Oh, except that they have this ... thing. It says that so long as the government spends money on their agenda, then the debt doesn't really matter.
Course I could be wrong, it might just save us money, but it would cost us many billions to begin - and that would contradict another of Mr. Long's platitudes about spending money resulting only in a larger debt.
