Yesterday’s arguments over city funding the day care day labor Center for Illegal Alien Employement reached a new low with this winner from Adrian Garcia.

“If you were unable to produce the necessary documents that would allow someone to employ you right now, would you see it as favorable to be put in the category of an illegal alien?� asked Garcia.

Non sequitor. If I am unable to produce the “necessary documents”, they’re still on file in Austin and Washington. That’s a hell of a lot different from not having them in the first place. My rights aren’t dependant on whether I carry a piece of paper; they’re dependant on the FACT that I am a US citizen and follow the law, as did my grandparents when they emigrated to the U.S.

I wish I’d been there when he said that, but it’s probably a good thing I wasn’t. They’d probably frown over a city employee losing his temper and yelling at a council member. In a just world, Garcia would go down in the primaries of the next election. However, being a Democrat, I’m sure that he’ll have enough support from voters (both live and dead, citizen or otherwise) to easily cruise to victory.
