Lou Dobbs-Government can invade every aspect of my life-just keep me safe from drug-running Mexicans

[kpete]

The federal government can invade every aspect of my life as long as they keep me safe from those drug-running Mexicans.

WaPo reported Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security is building a database that tracks every every American citizen’s border crossings and catalogs the data for as long as 15 years, with little to no privacy measures in place to prevent abuse.

The federal government has been using its system of border checkpoints to greatly expand a database on travelers entering the country by collecting information on all U.S. citizens crossing by land, compiling data that will be stored for 15 years and may be used in criminal and intelligence investigations.

When Wolf Blitzer asks CNN’s Resident Xenophobe, Lou Dobbs, for his opinion, the pseudo-intellectual said this story is troublesome not because of the invasion of privacy issues it raises, but rather because those damn illegals are still sneaking into the country with their horrific (i.e. non-existent) diseases and contraband.

1. Lou is such a one issue man.

He is just a waste of time for me anymore.

2. Me thinks those whose politics are right won't have to worry about the federal government

invading sensitive aspects of their life and those whose politics aren't right will be taught a lesson. :P

3. Something all the Cons forget when they boast like this: cops can enter house and PLANT EVIDENCE

Lou could be as clean as a whistle but if some bad cop wanted to screw him, it would be no problem to use weak 4th amendment laws and relaxed "search rules" to make him look like a Harlem pimp with a bad cocaine habit.

(or anyone, not just Lou)

4. And they probably already do Lou, except it isn't to keep you

safe from drug-running Mexicans because they are probably doing business with those guys just like our government did business with Noriega.
