ACLU raps new law banning state-paid travel to terrorist nations
Tallahassee, Florida (AP) —

A civil rights group criticized a new law that Gov. Jeb Bush signed today which restricts colleges and universities from using state funds for travel to countries classified as terrorist states by the U.S. government.

Legislators passed the bill in May. The countries on the terrorist list are Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria.

A spokesman from the Florida American Civil Liberties Union says the law will stifle research in countries that Americans need to know about in order to improve security. He also says the new law could get in the way of academic and humanitarian projects in other countries.

A total disconnect
‘Twixt rulers and the ruled.
The country will be wrecked.
Who do they think they’ve fooled?

Both Parties I accuse,
The Elephant and Mule;
Together in this ruse,
United in misrule.

A flood tide of those who
Assimilate will not!
Both Parties know ’tis true
And still they say: So What!

They think that they can hide
Behind their guards and gates;
Escape the rising tide
And leave us to our fates.

But when our culture falls
And Dear beset by Dire
Is dashed against the walls -
None will escape entire.

All this for labor cheap -
Undone our way of life
By alien hatred deep,
Sundered in alien strife.

What makes them act this way?
Have they not eyes to see?
The People they betray!
Is this Democracy?

MY new hero, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R.-Ala.) a member of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, offered a devastating analysis on the Senate
immigration bill in a speech delivered on the Senate floor on Tuesday,
May 23. Sessions pointed to outrageous parts of the bill that were
hidden deep in its text. These include, for example, that the employers
of illegal aliens would be given an amnesty for cheating on their taxes,
and that under the terms of the law the government would for all
practical purposes have to take an illegal alien’s word for it that
he has been in the country illegally long enough to qualify for an
amnesty.

Sessions also pointed to some of the tremendous hidden costs of the
bill, including the $500 billion in additional welfare payments it will
cost American taxpayers in the period 10 to 20 years after its passage.

Senators who vote for the bill today cannot credibly claim later they
were unaware of the elements and consequences that Sen. Session’s
outlined in this speech.

This was a great speech. Please go read it…
