Deval Patrick rescinds Mitt Romney's DHS partnership agreement

Massachusetts' new governor, Deval Patrick, has shown himself to be a true Democrat by rescinding an agreement arranged by Mitt Romney with the feds that allowed state troopers to arrest illegal aliens.

His alternate plan is to allow officials at two state prisons to determine the immigration status of prisoners and then somehow recommend them for deportation. They would probably need to do that through ICE or similar.

Whether his alternate plan is just a dodge is not known, but Patrick supported both discounted college educations and driver's licenses for illegal aliens in the campaign.

I think what you are looking at is a full-on Dodge, the fact is the fix is in and he know's it full well, the aliens will be running old mass soon, and congress is making sure of that and hell he supported free money to million of our enemies and free driver's licenses for years now, after all we all know when a third world person gets a driver's licenses that means passport to the kingdom of free money and the good life.

What we are seeing is the political and economic subjugation of an historic nation and the ethnic cleansing of its people, all justified by the alleged imperatives of commerce. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either a fool like Michael Medved or an evil fool like GWB.
And, no, there is nothing economically necessary about it.

3) Stagnant or Declining Populations Are Not a Crisis

There is no fundamental problem with a country experiencing zero or negative population growth, as is the case for many rich countries. This scenario implies a rising ratio of retirees to workers, but we have always had a rising ratio of retirees to workers, and we have generally enjoyed rising living standards (on average). Productivity growth generally swamps the impact of demographics (it takes fewer people to make a car, handle bank transactions, or staff a retail store) so there is no problem associated with the fact that a smaller share of our population may be working in the future. Also, many jobs don’t need to be done – convenience stores don’t need to be open 24 hours, lawns don’t have to be mowed as frequently, restaurants can be cafeterias. In addition, in a world where scientists recognize global warming as a serious problem, a smaller number of people in the high per capita polluters is a good thing.

4) Social Security Does Not Face a Crisis, So Stop Asserting That It Does

The latest projections from the Congressional Budget Office show that the program can pay all scheduled benefits until 2046 with no changes whatsoever. This would not fit most people’s definition of a crisis. This means that if you want to use “financially distressed” “fiscally threatened” or some equivalent adjectival phrase to refer to Social Security, talk to your editor about getting an opinion piece. Such phrases do not belong in a news story.

"Dissolution" may have been a slightly better word than "subjugation", but the net result will no doubt be much the same.
