Ain't No Illegals In Massachusetts, Because Bein' An Illegal Ain't Illegal, Says Martha/Marsha Coakely

Couple of questions asked by Howie Carr, in a piece excerpted by JWF:

1. If it's not illegal to be illegal, what charges are Shahzad's confederates being held on? Because I heard they were immigration violations.

And 2., since the Massachusetts governor has "stepped up surveillance" -- of whom?, I wonder -- does that mean it's time to boycott the racist, Nazi-esque state of Massachusetts?

The question at the press conference at the State House yesterday was, Why do these illegal types keep gravitating to Massachusetts?

The attorney general, “Marsha” Coakley, was a no-show, but she’d already answered the question a few weeks ago on Worcester radio station WCRN.

Marsha, why are so many of these illegal aliens invading Massachusetts?

“Technically,” she replied, “it is not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts.”

That’s one of the people Deval said had been briefing him on the “probe.” Whew - good to know, we have people who are serious about this problem. Back to Deval at the press conference.

“Two people in Massachusetts are in federal custody.”

But the bigger problem was, he wouldn’t say what they were charged with: immigration violations. See, the governor doesn’t like to talk about illegal aliens, especially when they’re committing crimes, as opposed to just being illegal, which Marsha Coakley says is not illegal.

Deval has been “fully briefed” on the probe, or so he said, so he must have known that the feds were tracking illegal aliens. Or maybe no one dared tell him that they were on the trail of some of the people he wants to give in-state tuition to.

Arrested in Watertown - will the Boston City Council vote to boycott Watertown next?

The second suspect was lugged at the Double Tree in Allston - that’s Boston. Does this mean the City Council will now have to bocyott itself?

Deval Patrick also won't use the "T" word, saying that calling the probe a "terrorist probe" might be a "step too far" based on current information.

Shahzad was trained in terrorist camps in Pakistan but he's not sure if he wants to say he's probing to determine if the men he's arrested are involved in terrorism?
