Must read Steyn on Immigration, Social Security, the predictably sell-out America Donks and the increasingly less surprising sell-out America Republicans:

“Mexico warned Tuesday it would file lawsuits in U.S. courts if National Guard troops detain migrants on the border.”

On what basis? Posse Comitatus? It’s unconstitutional to use the U.S. military against foreign nationals before they’ve had a chance to break into the country and become fine upstanding members of the Undocumented-American community?

Or is Mexico taking legal action on the broader grounds that in America it’s now illegal to enforce the law? Which, given that Senate bill, is a not unreasonable supposition.

Whatever. Under the new “comprehensive immigration reform” bill (Posse Como Estas?), a posse of National Guardsmen will be stationed in the Arizona desert but only as Wal-Mart greeters to escort members of the Illegal-American community to the nearest Social Security office to register for benefits backdated to 1973.

Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain, in a quintessentially McCainiac contribution to the debate, angrily denied that the Senate legislation was an “amnesty.” “Call it a banana if you want to,” he told his fellow world’s greatest deliberators. “To call the process that we require under this legislation amnesty frankly distorts the debate and it’s an unfair interpretation of it.”

Steyn is always a “read the whole thing” affair.

Why a banana? Why not a ham sandwich? I don’t know what country John McCain thinks he’s running for President in 2008 but it’s looking more and more like he’s bucking for The Great Defector’s seat.

Gateway Pundit helps to keep this argument herded into the Not-So-Ok Corral. Where it belongs.

While a British documentary notes the rise of Muslims in Texas. (link requires more registration than it takes for illegals to get into the country):

Mr. Meek, a transportation broker who grew up in the Dallas area, is shown cheering in the stands at a UNT football game, then making his way to the stadium shadows. There he kneels and prays in the direction of Mecca – something observant Muslims do five times a day.

“Islam is everything I wanted Christianity to be,” Mr. Meek says in the documentary. “It’s got such a magical attraction to it. It’s a way of life that chooses to worship an unseen God through a process of daily living.”

Later in the documentary, Eric and Karen Meek (who go by Khalil and Saffia in the Muslim community) take his mother for her first visit to a mosque.
[...]
“I meet a lot of new Muslims, either Caucasians or African-Americans,” said David Hultsch of Caddo Mills in East Texas, another star of the film and a former Methodist who converted to Islam while in the Air Force. “Probably one of the largest-growing groups is actually Hispanic-Americans.”

Allahu Akbar, ya’ll.
