If factual not a good tale

It makes you wonder what goes on in the psyche of these people that would hold a 4 year old girl for 14 hours with nothing but a cookie, and then deport her, even though she's a US citizen.

I have never heard stories like this until recently. Between this kind of treatment by border agents, and the stories coming out about TSA abuses, it seems the government is becoming very unfriendly to it's own citizens.

Dare we whisper Gestapo?

Between this and the IRS targeting of groups and people unfriendly to the current administration, I think the label of "Gestapo" is not entirely off base.

Not to forget the school board brown shirts.

Not to forget the school board brown shirts.

Like these:

Two seventh-grade students in Virginia Beach, Va., were handed long-term suspensions Tuesday that will last until the end of the school year for playing with an airsoft gun in one of their front yards while waiting for the school bus.

WAVY-TV reports that 13-year-old Khalid Caraballo and Aidan Clark will face an additional hearing in January to determine if they will be expelled for "possession, handling and use of a firearm" because the guns were fired at two others playing in Caraballo's yard.

...I have read other accounts, not exact but similar - the bottom line is, they have no right to hold an American citizen without cause - some of these people at the border patrol think they are still operating in Iraq and Afghanistan - they need to be disciplined...

I'd be shocked by this violation of Fourth Amendment rights at our border crossings -- if I hadn't witnessed the same attitude among law enforcement agencies within our borders over the past several decades.

Nothing to see here, people... Move along.

I'd file this under "You've got to be kidding me". Then I'd get a good lawyer and own the school
