So much for the right to a speedy trial

As our elected officials continue to do almost nothing that solves any real problems (and propose many things that pretend to solve problems both made up and real), I’d like to point out something about the immigration “reform” debate: the people who are trying to get their status normalized are being told they might get a court date in 2019.

Now, take a look at your calendar. Says 2015, right? So that’s 4 years from now. It’s also one Presidential election and two Congressional elections from now, so who can really say what the rules will be when today’s immigrants finally get their days in court.

Gee, it’s almost like the Powers That Be like the fact that there’s an easily exploited underclass of illegal workers!
