“Welcome to America. Please place your hands behind your back and lay face down on the ground.”
With Monday’s debut of Operation Liberty Shield, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s newest attempt at keeping us safe from terrorists, asylum seekers from dozens of mostly Muslim countries will be in for a surprise when they arrive on our shores.
The U.S. plans to lock them up while officials check out their claims of persecution in their home countries.
“We want to make absolutely certain you are who you say you are,” Tom Ridge said at a news conference.

We’re fed up with the hassles in the airport, the underpaid rent-a-cops taking too many liberties on their cheap porn-induced power trips, housewives and blue hairs removing their belts and shoes in assembly line fashion.

Even in the land of the free, life has always been rough for immigrants and refugees. If you doubt that, then you still think the Mafia was all about fur coats and endearing names.
Because of the actions of 19 losers, it just got a little bit harder.
