Let me state the obvious for the 9,999th time: America is still not serious about enforcing its immigration laws. The latest addition to my homeland insecurity files comes from New Ipswich, New Hampshire.
Last week, the local police there stopped a speeding van. The driver was on the road with a suspended license. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the cops found 10 people stuffed inside. They sheepishly presented authorities with dubious identification cards. The cops asked the passengers where they were from and where they were headed. "Massachusetts" and "New Hampshire," the answers came back in perfect English.
One of the cops wasn't about to play games. "Are you here illegally?" the officer asked. (I can hear the American Civil Liberties Union members running to file their lawsuits right now). Upon being asked their immigration status, the passengers suddenly lost their command of the English language. "No comprende," they sputtered.
