1. Peter Kind is indeed a jackass..

I also recieved his full color brochure in the mail, trying to sell himself, while ignoring the fact that he is complicit in the worst presidential agenda in decades.

2. I got the brochure too, and have plenty of questions for him

but, know from experience he will once again answer with another nasty letter being sure to insult my intelligence.

I nearly fell out of my chair when I read this:

Yet, millions of illegal aliens enter our country every year - and, in the past three years alone, the number of OTMs (other than Mexicans) illegaly crossing the border has more than quadrupled.

OTMs? OMG! I never heard that term before! Is this a policially correct brochure?

What the hell does quadruple mean? We can quadruple the change in our pockets, and we can quadruple the grains of sand at Jones Beach, but the numbers of each is very different.

He makes other alarming statements about how this legislation would protect our borders, but expects us to take what he says at face value, offering no insight on the particulars. So next week, another letter full of questions will be sent to him.

3. King says he'll reword bill

King says he'll reword bill
Says he didn't mean to target humanitarian groups after outcry over measure aimed
at illegal immigration

After an outpouring of criticism from churches and relief groups, Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford) said Friday he is willing to reword the legislation he co-sponsored that would have made it illegal to assist undocumented immigrants.

The bill calls for building a 698-mile fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, turning undocumented immigrants into felons and permitting "deputization" of local and state police officers as immigration agents. But it also included a provision that makes it a crime for anyone to assist undocumented immigrants to "come or remain" in the United States.

Immigrant advocates and officials from churches and relief agencies said this could lead to the imprisonment of priests, nuns, social workers, doctors and Good Samaritans who may provide these immigrants with anything from counseling to a ride to the grocery store.

King said that was never the intention of the provision, which he said targets gangs that smuggle undocumented immigrants into the country. The measure "is not aimed at humanitarian groups at all," said King, who is chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. "If there are any specific words they want changed, I can assure you that will be done."
