starvedforjustice: kileyrae: “This is for our young C-SPAN [viewers]: Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. These young people have overcome their very different national origins and become apparently a happy couple. I’m sure Justin helped Gomez learn all about American customs and feel more at home in her adopted country. Oh, wait a minute. I’m sorry. Because I’m not a trained Arizona official, I somehow got that backwards. Actually, Ms. Gomez of Texas has helped Mr. Bieber of Canada learn about his adopted country. Justin, when you perform in Phoenix, remember to bring your papers.” - Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-IL)

A brief letter to Arizona

Dear Arizona,

You make me want to laugh and cry at the same time. I hear you’re having population problems down there. I have a solution: take all the people who think it’s okay to pass a bill that 1) defines the beginning of pregnancy about two weeks before actual conception and 2) allows doctors to withhold medical information from a woman if they think the woman MIGHT want an abortion because of it - take all those people and eject them from the Union.

I bet those illegal immigrants breaking the law understand a lot more about what America should stand for than some of these people making the laws. I’m not saying illegal immigration doesn’t cause problems (it does, although I think we would benefit from streamlining the naturalization process so that hard-working immigrants don’t have to wait years for citizenship); I’m saying that the worst harm comes from people who think they can legislate other people’s bodies, choices, and moralities. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free over your arrogant, your prejudiced, your ruthless legislators yearning to suck free air from the vocal chords of women. Any day.
