    Isn’t one of the states trying to make being an illegal immigrant a lifetime sentence with no chance at parole.

    Slavery is coming back to America, well it never left, but it’s coming back out of the shadows.

      Yep and to the surprise of absolutely nobody it’s not a border state.

      Equally surprisingly, it’s the worst state of them all, Mississippi.

      Some lawmaker in Mississippi introduced a bill that said such, which is nearly meaningless. Any jackass can introduce any damned bill.

      Wish we could ban, or at least stop talking about these things. It will have meaning if it actually makes it through committee, makes the floor for a vote.

      The Democrats do the same (but not nearly so evil). They introduce bullshit bills as a way to get people talking. Again, meaningless if they can’t get traction beyond mere talk.
