RE: INS Laundry in Santa Fe NM

[Glen.Vickers@ucm.com]

What's the big deal?  Don't cities pass ordinances to abate perceived
nuisances all the time?  No one cries when it is a pornographic
establishment, a rough motorcycle bar, or the local corner where
undesirables hang out...  Ordinances are passed to pick on various
undesirables all the time, how is it that INS is better than any other
group?  Must be better lawyers.

States even pass laws that specifically outlaw previously legal occupations.
A case in point would be when the state of Florida outlawed the use of
fishing nets to possibly save a few more fish for the charter boats and
tourists.  Many people were unemployed overnight with net boats they
couldn't sell anywhere in the state of florida.  Better regulation of the
process would have been more appropriate than hurting thousands of real
working people.

I know we need not look far for inconsistencies and I guess it comes along
with our political system.
