Of course it doesn't. It only proves that those who could improve
enforcement have no interest in doing so. A national ID card system
with appropriate acquisition process and use of technology would be a
big step in improving the situation. A faster system for verifiying
socail security numbers would help too, and if we can do it for guns
we can do it for that.
You claim to be opposed to illegal immigration and want to reduce it
by better enforcement, bit I never see you supporting or proposing
anything to get there.
The Maryland-Virginia shooter situation is a case in point. So damn many
illegals and quasi-legals (i.e. foreign "students", h1-b's etc.) the police don't
even know where to start.

All this proves is that there have been 58,000 violations of the law by
employers, many of them with repeat offenses in the hundreds, and include
major corporations and government offices.
I have mentioned a national ID card many times; I get shot down by the
"infringement of my rights" folks. Every time I describe my simple attitude
towards immigration, I have included my suggestion on an ID card. I believe
in enforcement of existing laws (99% of the problem), revision on legal
quotas, control of visa holders and definitive clarification of the status
of people currently in the US.
A national ID card would be a significant improvement, shifting to
government the burden of verifying status before issueing a card.
Better enforcement means, simply, empowering the INS and Border Patrols with
the funds and manpower to reduce the liklihood of success of illegal
immigrants. Since a huge percentage of illegals are over-stay visaed
persons, this area needs control, too.
No school registrar, HR person or ER admission nurse is going to be able to
verify accurately a person's legality or ability to be in the US. A national
ID card would make the Federal Government verify each individual's status
before granting a card.
It's not the police's job to enforce immigration law. The police forces in
the US are not trained to verify status anymore than a school teacher is.
An ID card, needed to cash a check, open a bank account, apply for a credit
card, get a job, buy and registyer a card, register a kid for shcool, visit
a hospital, etc., would severely limity an illegal's ability to function in
the US and enhance the ability of the proper authorities to apprehend them.
Yet there is no way these companies can positively verify status;
presentation of documents and the asking of a question like, "are you
legally able to work in the USA?" are all that the law permits.
I know people with honest, respectable businesses owned by non-Hispanics in
several areas on the US who regularly find out someone they have had working
for perhaps a year is illegal... only because the SSA writes that the number
is not valid. The companies complied with all requirements of the law, and
went as far as the law (EEO, etc.) allows in questioning applicants. It is
possible for an illegal to stump the present sytem for many years as there
is no clearinghouse for verification.
You can not condemn those companies on the list for violations that they
could not discover without intervention from the INS to verify
documentation, etc.
The TRUTH is, every decent, law-abiding AMERICAN CITIZEN shares the
knowledge that we are first and foremost a country of laws. In this light
all DECENT Americans strongly believe that all law duly appointed
enforcement officers should be authorized to handle any person or persons
who they find breaking ANY law. This is especially so in this age of
terrorism. To defend the current system in which BP & INS agents are the
only ones who can "officially" handle illegals and visa violators is simply
stupid...dangerously stupid.
Americans who LACK adherence, or promote non-adherence to such fundamental
precepts as the "nation of laws" principle are simply not true
Americans...this includes you, Deduardo. From what I know of you, you are
NOT an American in any REAL sense of the word as it has been passed down to
me.
When I consider that people like you, who defecate on our ideals seemingly
through the mere act of getting out of bed in the morning, actually presume
that they ARE American, I find it to be patently insulting to a fine
heritage that "set the table" for our greatness. But alas, my ancestors
would have felt the same way, yet insisted that even those as dangerously,
insultingly misguided as you still have the right to think, speak and act in
the ways in which you do. That is an interesting, but important American
conundrum.
To sum it up, we are a nation of laws. Period. End of story. Catch 'em,
shackle 'em and ship 'em back...and kick them in the ass when they're
dropped off at the border and kick 'em so hard that they don't want to come
back. Maybe the ACLU can catch a whiff of the stench as they pass by on the
way out, but they cannot do anything about it. All we have to do as
Americans is make sure that our leaders start to ENFORCE the law.
Your Illinois ancestors would slap your ass silly for the crap that your
mind generates, I can guarantee it.

Absolutely. A National ID Card probably isn't required, but it's also probably
inevitable. Even if it's not implimented as a NatID or OneCard, probably total
conformance to a standard set by the Organization of State Governors (or
whatever is their official name) will amount to the same.
A lot of the State Governors are in fact reportedly very interested in making
the expiration dates of ID and DL to be the same as the expiration date of
visas. Further, many are reportedly open to the idea of having a special
endorsement on such ID/DL, which would be absent by default, but which with
appropriate proof, would indicate that the bearer was a citizen, and would
further require that all checks against that ID would return with that
statement of citizenship; lack of that return with the statement of
citizenship could be presumed to mean that the ID was valid, but that the
bearer was a non-citizen. If expired and a non-citizen, the presumption would
be to _automatically_ notify the INS.

It might not be "their job" foremost, but it is ridiculous to say that
it ought not be, or that they are not trained to do so. Verifying
indentification, people's histories and so on, is central to what cops
do every day. Do local cops refuse to arrest people breaking federal
code? Do they hold a guy found to have a case of counterfeit cash in
his trunk? Do they hold people found to have comitted a crime in
another state? Cops generally do everything they are equiped to do,
with the peculiar exception of immigration. That can be changed,
rather inevitable that it will.

That's right, but your hispanic brethren in politics are on the case
24/7, utterly opposed to anything that might make illegals more
apprehendable. It's fine to say that some certain number of hispanics
poll in opposition to unfettered migration, but hispanic pols are so
uniformly aggresive on behalf of immigration and illegals, it must be
considered indicative of majority hispanic intentions. Most of us
don't care to set up difficult poltical prerequisites, passing
"National ID" and the like, to do something that is actually pretty
simple. While I would always give an arrestee the benefit of the doubt
at a hearing, such that it can be reasonably determined whether he
might be an "undocumented american", neither would I play any games
with the matter. It is perfectly obvious that hispanics would like
more delay and further migration. Keep on digging that hole of poor
intentions and bad faith. Evidently the majority of hispanics would
prefer a feel-good war with the average gringo, than to secure those
with some shred of legitimacy among us. Can't have it both ways, and
if you were a little bit honest, you'd admit that you cannot.
TL didn't state that it was. Most police officers today have college
degrees and, of course, so do teachers. It they are not competent to
"verify status" then what the hell does it take? An advanced degree in
criminology? The real issue is that most illegals are easily identifiable
by racial profiling and their accents, assuming they can speak English at
all, so it has been turned into a "racial profiling" issue which the
illegals and "immigrant rights" organizations have turned to their great
advantage to further the reconquista.
You miss the point. There is no instant access database that shows whether a
parson is legal or not. There are crime databases, driver license databases,
etc., but nothing that shows or could be accessed to check status of an
individual as to residency in the US.
Even INS agents often detain persons for hours to verify ID; no other entity
can do this at present. And none can do it rapidly.
Bullshit. To tell a Spanish accent of a Tejano from a legal immigrant from
an illegal one is probably impossible, or requires a qualified linguist.
And there is no source to verify status. So no one, educated or not, can
check a person's status.
This is why employers generally learn months and months later they may have
an illegal if the Social Security folks reject a number... which is notified
as a potential error in accumulation of benefits, not an illegal alert.
There is no other quick and accurate way to verify status.

Of the 9 million illegals (mid range and highest confidence estimate) about
60% at most are Hispanic.
Why should any American have to prove they are American when other Americans
are not so required? This would be a civil rights violation of 30 million
persons (the illegals are apparently counted inthe Census figures) who are
here legally. Many whose families have been here for many generations, such
as Puerto Ricans.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, chances are it

That is not true. Most previous era immigrants learned little English; I saw
Poles, Italians, Greeks and others in Cleveland in the 50's who knew no
English; their kids were fluent.
And, just as a point of reference, Puerto Ricans in their majority are not
bilingual in Puerto Rico, but are 100% US citizens by birth.
Not knowing the language is a common thing among immigrants, legal or
otherwise. Many learn some English, a few learn good English and many never
learn more than a few phrases.
I see. Tell me how to tell a Puerto Rican from an illegal Dominican. I'm
waiting.
Well, the INS sure is not doing the border thing right. And, as I said, how
can you sanction an employer who has no friggin way of verifying status?
There is no certain and sure way right now.

An ID card is not giving up rights. It would probably prevent identity
theft, make check fraud harder, same with credit card fraud. There are many
other advantages, and zero drawbacks. We get asked for ID all the time.
Usually, we use or driver license; that is not a good ID method and all we
would do with a national ID is replace a bad ID with a good one.

Wrong again, Charley.
Puerto Rico is undecided on becoming a state (48% in last plebiscite) and
remaining a Commonwealth (48% in same plebiscite). Independence polled
around 3% of the votes, the level the Independence movement has been at for
the last three or four decades.
Really, the whole statehood issue is up to the Puerto Ricans, they just can't
make up their minds if they want to remain US citizens or become a seperate
nation.
A. What is Puerto Rican ID? I have never heard of such a thing.
B. Tell us how you tell a legal Puerto Rican form an illegal Dominican. I am
waiting.
C. In Puerto Rico, less than half the population considers itself
bilingual. Only the upper income segment sends thier kids to bilingual
schools, the rest speak some small amount of English or none at all.
D. About half the US Puerto Ricans are truly biningual... a portion are
totally English dominant, but there are still many who don't know much
English.

For someone who claims to support reform you sure get upset when anyone
suggests enforcing immigration laws.
The cure is obvious. Don't hire anyone until results on status check is
back. If it takes SSA a year, then it will be a year before the job starts.
That condition applies to any number of other hiring criteria, such as drug
screens and criminal background checks. They do not begin employment until
all references, tests, background checks and status have been cleared and
returned. Any employer who does anything less is irresponsible at best and
attempting to circumvent the laws.
Maybe people ought to start suing employers for negligent endangerment and
they would begin to take their responsibility and the law more seriously.
Read again. I said there is no way to enforce the laws other than by the
understaffed INS because there is no way for an employer or other non-INS
person to conveniently, quickly and accurately identify an illegal.In fact,
it often takes the INS a day or so to do so, so bad is the ID system.
The only way the immigration laws can be enforced is with an accessable
database, more INS agents and a manner by wicho businesses, hospitals,
schools and other entities can verify status in a foolproof manner. This
does not exist now. It takes an employer sometimes months to find out a
person is illegal.
> The cure is obvious. Don't hire anyone until results on status check is

There is no such thing as a status check. A business can not call the INS,
as the INS has no system for this.
The only way most employers find out an employee is faking it is when a
Social Security number is rejected by the SSA. They don't say, "you have an
illegal" but, rather, the number may not be able to be properly credited.
There is no employer accessable system to verify employment. The SSA
"rejection" may take months.
> If it takes SSA a year, then it will be a year before the job starts.
Guilty until proven innocent. And, of course, EEO would requre all job
applicants prove status. Anything else would be discriminatory.

Which can be done on short order, either at random or for all employees...
fairly.

However, the cost to businesses, large and small, would be impossible to
bear. Imagine waiting for months for a necessary employee to be on board!

Very few employers intentionally hire illegals. They comply with the law,
view ID, and process paperwork according to proper identification
requirements.

Deduardo,
Unlike Johnny, I haven't had respect for you since I read the first post of
yours I happened across. You're a racist, bigoted anti-American jerk who is
so caught up in it, you probably can't even see it. You only can accuse
others of the same faults that we find most evident in you. Just because
you aren't as obviously vehement as some of us, your transparent persona is
incapable of masking your insidious, nasty ideals.
Here's how it is going to be, and soon. If someone doesn't speak perfect
kings english in Connecticut, display and awesome Cajun flavored dialect in
the bayou, sound like Marge Simpson in the Midwest or like Dubya in Texas,
law enforcement should take notice and check them out further: We're going
to profile the living hell out of anyone and everyone who looks like they
don't belong. This is especially so if it is obvious that they are of
Hispanic descent; there's AT LEAST a one in four chance that they here
illegally no matter where you go in America! Enforcement doesn't have to
become overtly oppressive with any individual unless they start to get antsy
about the stop. Then, if their documentation doesn't fit, yank them out.
No exceptions.
Eventually, most legitimate hispanics will get tired of taking the fall for
lawbreakers and look forward to the day in which there are NO illegals so
they can once again follow the honorable path to assimilation.
I don't go anywhere without proper ID and neither does any intelligent
person here legitimately these days. If someone who is legitimately here is
so stupid not to recognize that they may fit a profile and still fails to
have something decent as far as identification is concerned (Matricula
Consular cards don't and won't ever count for shit), they need to be quickly
and courteously placed on a stinky, un-air-conditioned bus headed south.
Period.
And Puerto Rico needs to be independent. If YOU are representative of a
typical Puerto Rican resident, then it isn't likely that Puerto Rico will
EVER be deserving of statehood and should be cut loose. Ellos deben ir

The choice is continued Commonwealth status (which can not be taken away) or
a change to Statehood or Independence.
Puerto Rico has essentially nothing in common with Haiti, and very little
in common today with Cuba. It does extensive trade with northern South
America, the Dominican Republic and Europe.
Who said that other Americans are not required to prove that they are who
they say they are? Any job applicant is required to provide evidence of
being an American or being a legal resident. Nobody said that only
Hispanics would be targeted for providing evidence of being here legally.
The fact that 10 million people are in this country illegally and many, if
not most of them, are from Mexico makes it especially hypocritical and
laughable that the biggest complainers and whiners about being asked to
provide proof of being in the country legally are from that group.

In light of this new world created by massive immigration where planes fly
into buildings, maybe it would be a good idea if PRs acknowledged that
there are a few minor little security issues stateside. Maybe they should
consider carrying a birth certificate or PR DL or what ever passes as ID in
PR, if that crap hole has anything like that, and be prepared to produce it
anytime they are out and about. If PR doesn't have some sort of ID, then
maybe they should get into this century and out of the stone age, because
surely if mexico can come up with a consular card PR could come up with
something. It wouldn't hurt them to learn a little English if they didn't
want the hassle of 'fessing up all the time.
Then the old standby of a birth certificate as proof, and, a back up by
verification of grade school or high school attendence. If they don't have a
birth certificate, and you can't confirm grade school or high school attendence
something is very wrong.
I can see the headlines when they arrest Henry Kissinger or a triple
platinum selling hip-hop group.

Actually, it is like 1 in 7.
Settle down, Dave, or you'll soil your trowsers! If someone can't speak
good American English then they are clearly a foreigner. Why would an
American be speaking in Spanish if trying to explain his or her legal
status. A real American would break into English if asked to answer
questions by an officer of the law.
Now, given that there is no immediately verifiable document that does this,
how are employers going to be certain?
You can not hold up the employability of a person just because they "look"
like some profile.
Available evidence today is not reliable. It is not verifiable.
You ask them. And if there is some question as to their truthfullness, then
you investigate further. It seemed that South Americans always posed that
kind of question concerning Nazi war criminals who lived in Argentina and
elsewhere, but the Israeli Nazi hunters managed to find most of them. Where
there's a will, there's a way.

I think all the churches who have been so eager to assist the illegal aliens

We were talking about Americans, Dave, not foreigners. Of course foreigners
might not speak English, but that is not the point.
I did not make the one year reference; that was another poster. My
experience is that the SSA tends to take 4 to 6 months to report back a
questionable number.

Not the current law. Anyway, a birth certificate is far easier fo fake than
a "green" card or Social Security card. I could probably do them myself with
a minimal investment in some security paper, a pressure seal and a laser
printer.

I could not even confirm my own school attendance; I have no reason to do
so, and a transcript is not legally usable as identification.
Finding a few dozen Nazis whose photos and personal information was public
knowledge is not the same as identifying, or distinguishing between, an
illegal Dominican and a (legal) Puerto Rican. The illegal will probably
present you with more convincing ID than the Puerto Rican can possibly
assemble.

Nothing. What could we do to persuade you to give up YOUR US citizenship?
I'm speaking about the 50% or more of Cleveland that is of very recent
immigrant heritage... I remember being on the bus as a kid and not being
able to understand what anyone said. Italian, Lithuanian, Czech, Greek,
Polish... Cleveland even had in the early 60's 3 or 4 radio stations that
had programs in a dozen or so languages each... for the local residents who
did not speak English well or at all. Their kids, of course, are as American
as you are, maybe more.
Plenty of adults don't have... and may never have had... grade school or
high school papers. And, as previously posted, a birth certificate in the US
is about the esasiest ID to falsify or counterfeit.
If little Eduardo claims he went to such and such grade school in Cleveland it
can be verified! No birth certificate........something wrong.
Hi David
Any company can check out anyone. All it takes is a few bucks, and a
couple of hours for the report to come back.
Mike
Like all the other states and territories, PR has a driver license. Like
every other state, anyone with a fake birth certificate or other fake ID can
get one.
My point is that there is no ID for "Puerto Ricans." Any American living in
Puerto Rico could have a driver license if the test is passed... just like
Wyoming or Idaho or Mississippi. However, Puerto Ricans have no ID that
identifies them as such; persons living in Puerto Rico have an ID form
Puerto Rico. Just as if I move to Dallas, I can get a TX license but that
does not immediately make me a Texan.
There is no requirement or real need in Puerto Rico to know English unless
you want to work in a tourist hotel or deal with certain business matters
with the rest of the US. Otherwise, English is not necessary.
And, when you call PR a "crap hole" I'm sure you have no knowledge of the
Island, or its people.
I've seen more fake birth certificates than anything else. There is a racket
in this area, where people who are dead, known to be expats, etc., are
"cloned" to identify persons who want a new identity. This was discovered
by the criminal element decades ago. No one ever bothers to check death
certificates; con artists check death notices and rapidly clone the dead
person.

On the April 19 Nightly News, Kelly O'Donnell reported on San Luis, Arizona
where "thousands of Mexican residents rent post office boxes here and use
them as American addresses to collect welfare checks and food stamps and to
enroll their kids in U.S. schools." She also found an EITC connection: "The
IRS put a hold on 5,500 tax returns this year after detecting widespread
abuse of the Earned Income Credit."

Apparantly they do have a way to verify status. You said above that the SSA
produces results in about a year. Employers who had an interest in
following the law would wait until they got the status check back. They do
it with drug screens, criminal background checks, reference checks and
sometimes even credit reports. Until all those things are gathered and
cleared for take off, you don't go to work. They should be waiting on
verification of status, too, since it is no less important. You are just
trying to flim flam people.

275 million people are having their rights infringed on by a minority every
day. It is time to turn the tables and let democracy, majority rule, take
place.
A national ID card would only be acceptable if it was required for making
every purchase from the grocery store to the utilities to getting gas to
going to work and going to school. No gotte card no gettee tortillas.
They were able to do that for centuries until diversity brought in a culture
or race of people who lie, steal identity, enter our country illegally, and
lie on job application forms in order to get jobs at airports and in other
secure areas. But it would be "profiling" to go after the people who are
most likely to be here illegally, i.e., people who speak Spanish and look
like the typical Latin American citizen, so people like you spread stories
that it is just sooooo difficult for ordinary, honest Americans to pick out
these illegal aliens. They can be spotted easily by people who haven't been
brainwashed into political correctness.

Stop. This is the second time I have been attributed with this statement I
did not make. The SSA rejects uncheckable numbers in somehwer between 90 and
150 days, on the average. Never, if the number being used belongs to a dead
indigent, or someone who will have no inspection of their account.
> Employers who had an interest in

See if you can follow this: there is no SSA status check. You hire a person.
You start making FICA and Medicare payments. The SSA realized that the
number does not match anything on file, or the name and the number do not
match. They send back an notice of irregularity that says that the number
needs to be verified, as it can not be used to creid the funds deposited.
THe SSA does not verify residency status. This is my whole point in favoring
a national ID card that could be checked.

Again, louder: THE SSA DOES NOT VERIFY OR CONFIRM STATUS. And, only when a
person has been employed can you sometimes find a mismatch of a name or
number. But not prior to employment.

How do you know that since you say it is impossible for anyone to tell if

Most illegals don't want to be on record with any paperwork... they don't
answer surveys, don't fill in forms, are leery of pollsters. It's part of
being illegal.
Right. Now how would we be doing this? What company, government entity or

Something tells me he had papeles.
So what is your point? You seem to advocate open borders and unlimited
illegal immigration based upon the fear of offending some former illegal
alien that got amnesty or some third generation Hispanic that never learned
English and never assimilated into the culture. Your entire argument is
based on the possibility that some Hispanic who is here legally might get
asked to provide an ID. Because there is the mere possibility that a fake
ID might pass as a real ID then you argue that there is absolutely no point
in having the rule of law at all and we may as well have anarchy and
complete lawlessness.
No, they will not input a number until a person appears on an employer's
payroll withholding payment. And then, they only verify if the account
exists and the names match. If they don't, they ask for clarification or
verification. The SSA does not verify migrant status. The SSA is essentially
a bad insurance company.
Sorry. When the INS does an inspection or raid (I have covered both for the
news media), they don't ask the employer for anything. They go directly to
the employees. Then, if illegals are found, they will determine employer
liability by seeing if all procedures were complied with. there are seldom
fines, since the procedures don't usually detect illegals.

Maybe that is why you are supposed to provide more than one form of ID and
reference.
Welfare is generally locally administered or an entitlement. Whatever
welfare is paid in Puerto Rico comes from unemployment taxes collected in PR
or from entitlements collected by Federal taxation in PR, such as Social
Security and Medicare.
Of course, real Americans and honest people have no reason to falsify or
counterfeit these records. It is a gift of the Mexicans to the United
States that now all such records and forms of ID are now called into
question because they have brought dishonesty, corruption, and law-breaking
to the U.S. along with their contraband drugs and people smuggling.
Remember how before Hispanics became the largest minority in the U.S. we
could trust the integrity and honesty of most people and birth certificates,
school records, and social security cards were taken at face value? This
must be what we mean by cultural diversity, i.e., that now all forms of ID
are suspect and even though you think someone who can't speak English and
seems like an illegal alien should be deported, the Senators and governors
and Congressmen and mayors will label you a Nazi and a bigot for daring to
call for enforcement of our immigration laws against people who openly
announce that they are here illegally. The illegal aliens are so proud of
their fake IDs and stolen Social Security numbers that they now use the
prevalence of liars and cheaters among them as an argument against trusting
any form of ID. We are like Romania now where the mafias that deal in
people smuggling, kidnapping, drug smuggling, and other illegal enterprises
begin to dominate society.

Point? The current system does not work. We need a reliable ID document and
a way for employers, the DMV, schools and such to verify it.

No. It is based on the fact that our existing ID can be faked, forged,
duplicated and is totally unreliable for verification of status.

The problem is that there is no way of rapidly verifying ID, fake or real,
in a reasonable time frame. Heck, even the INS often has to detain suspects
for a day or more to verify ID or information.
Wrong. To be employed, a resident card should be presented by a resident
alien, plus a Social Security card. The SS card is not ID... it even says so
on the card. Citizens can, theoretically present a birth certificate,
passport or a combination of other documents that tend to prove legal
status.
The employer can make their own requirements, as long as they are uniformly
applied, to try to show intent to do something that is, in fact, impossible
to do 100% right 100% of the time.
This kind of quibbling, along with fear, uncertainty and doubt you throw in
sheds light on why Operation Wetback just rounded up anyone who looked and
talked Mexican and threw them out of the country. Don't they call
Eisenhour's generation the Greatest Generation? They knew back then that
once you get into these arguments with people like you that it is absolutely
hopeless to stop illegal immigration and you see what is happening today,
where California, Texas, and other states have just been taken over by
illegal aliens and the politicians live in fear and trepidation of the
Hispanic voter who will punish any politicians who put America first.
Rather than assimilating, the immigrants from Mexico are tearing this
country apart.
TL,
Why bother with Deduardo? He's just a bigoted, dickhead of an old fart who
is more than somewhat ashamed of his Irish heritage. He isn't an hispanic,
but wishes he was born one. He'll go round in circles with you like an
arthritic, senile old dog trying to lick its nuts. He's anathema to his
ancestors and will soon be nothing more than a drooling curmudgeon pissant
of a problem for his descendants. He hates anything historically "American"
and roots for the sea of human refuse seeping up from our south to overtake
us. His statistics and "facts" bounce around as authentically as Anna
Nicole's boobs and, while he may have a modicum of intelligence, he has long
lost the intellectual capacity to put it to proper use.
Most importantly, he doesn't matter one bit in this discussion because he
cannot do a damned thing about it from where he sits. His audience is on a
small, isolated island that means very little to this nation...but it does
offer nice test bombing ranges.
What it boils down to with Deduardo is that I know that I can affect change
and I am successfully recruiting others to answer the call to halt the
invasion. I'll bet you can from where you sit, too. Deduardo can't do a
thing in response. You just have to be willing to have the Deduardos of the
world subtly hate you for it. I'd pity him, but I just can't find it in my
heart to pity someone who holds such enmity for his ancestors and for my
country.
I try to ignore him, but sometimes his points are just so asinine I can't
help myself.
