PWC sues feds over deportations

Elena speaks with Channel 7 News:

 

 

According to insidenova.com, the county has filed suit against the federal government. 

Prince William County filed a lawsuit today against the Department of Homeland Security, according to a county press release.

In 2007 the Prince William Board of County Supervisors passed an ordinance that requires county police officers to check the immigration status of anyone they arrest.

If police find that they have arrested someone who is in the country illegally, they turn that person over to the department for deportation.

To date the county has turned over more that  [sic] 4,000 people over to DHS, the release stated.

At issue is the fact that an illegal immigrant who was an habitual offender hit a car carrying 3 elderly nuns.  One nun was killed and the other 2 were seriously injured.  The sisters belong to the Benedictine order and requested at the time of the tragedy that people not use the death of the sister to advance their political viewpoint.  The politicians and anti-immigration crowd of Prince William County have ignored the sisters’ request and have done quite the opposite.

Colleagues admit to pulling punches on Palin

Fox News severs contracts with those candidates who announce their candidacy for president.  (What’s worng with this picture?)  So far, Rick Santorim and Newt Gingrich have both been terminated.  No so with Sarah Palin.  She has not announced, therefore she is still an employee of Fox News. 

 

In The Five, Greg Gutfeld and Bob Beckel both manned up and admitted that they pulled punches when it came down to talking about Palin because she worked there. Beckel basically clarified and said really that it was because he got a paycheck. Do we interpret that as Palin is under the protection of Fox News?   Perhaps she will never declare and will have no one criticize her ever on Fox News.  That’s one way to keep things quiet. 

On the other hand, Palin does not disappoint.  She predictably threw out her victim card in the video.  Don’t you love someone that easy to predict?  Whine, Sarah, Whine.  Show a little tooth there, Mama Grizzly!  No one does victimizaton any better.

 

Missouri bans teacher/student contact via social networks

 

This is a poorly worded law for sure.  It has vague ambiguities.  For instance, the law states no contact with former students.  That is absurd.  For how many years?  Does that mean you can’t befriend  someone you taught 10 years ago who is now a fellow teacher?  Why must lawmakers always demonstrate how little they understand about the arenas their bills impact? Read More
