RW'er at WorldNutDaily thinks Immigrants should be sterilized
Earlier this week a coalition of Religious Right leaders emerged with the goal of influencing immigration policymaking. The organizer of this coalition, Manuel Miranda, is a former member of Sen. Bill Frist’s staff who lost his position after accessing and reading internal Democratic staff documents and went on to become a one-man army fighting for confirmation of President Bush’s judicial nominees. Now that President Bush appears reluctant to keep sending controversial nominees to Congress, Miranda undoubtedly has a lot of time on his hands and has decided to branch out into immigration. He claims that his new Families First on Immigration coalition is offering “real compromise” on the issue that should appeal to all sides by proposing a combination of increased border security, legalization for undocumented immigrants who are already in the country and, most importantly, an end to birthright citizenship guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.

Judging by this WorldNetDaily column by Jane Chastain, the Families First on Immigration’s “compromise” proposal looks as if it is appealing to some on the Right who have traditionally been among the most militantly anti-immigration. Why the change of heart? Even the most extreme anti-immigrant advocates understand the message voters sent to Congress – by not electing or in some cases not re-electing many GOPers who had strong anti-immigrant positions. They see the writing on the wall and from their weakened position are now cynically attempting to leverage their “support” for something that already has strong bi-artisan support and is likely to happen anyway, in order to get something else extreme that they have always wanted – doing away with birthright citizenship.

A real change in heart, in 2004, Chastain suggested that any temporary guest-worker program should also require sterilization of applicants:

"Therefore, the only way to assure the American people that this "temporary" status truly is temporary is to seal up the wombs – sterilize – those who apply for guest-worker status. Or else change the law that grants citizenship to anyone who is born here regardless of the status of his or her parents."

1. I think they should sterilize
the right-wing frothers. It would definitely help remove some of the stupidity genes from the pool.

2. I need to drink my morning coffee
I thought I just read that a bunch of nutters has proposed that all legal immigrants -- the women, anyway -- get sterilized as a condition of their immigration.

Once I wake up, it will all make sense.

--p!
Maybe not that thing about George Bush being president.

3. Since "Chastain" is a French name...

...I can think of one case where it might have made sense, although it's probably a bit late now. :D

(edit: it might be her married name, but I think most RWers are inbred mutants anyway)

4. That's actually hilarious.
Who would pay for this? Would there be weekly deductions from their oh-so-high paychecks to pay for the surgery? Or would employers be expected to fund this? I just love how idiotic this is.

5. Now there's a really well thought out compromise
grant amnesty but sterilize 'em.

It defies all logic why these people are even allowed to vote, much less hold any kind of office.

6. I'm glad that most RW's have the xerox model of procreation...
1 girl, 1 boy...they're done..wish they would rethink it though and maybe go for a blank sheet.
