Joe Biden on Edward Kennedy
11:06 am By la Macha · Massachusetts| Politics| boston · 2 Comments
26 Aug 2009Joe Biden has a reputation of being a bit of bumbling jackass when it comes to talking (remember the panic button he hit with his commentary on airplanes and swine flu?), but with his remarks on Edward Kennedy passing away, he even had me teary eyed.
Dirty Debate Words: The I Word
12:04 pm By Maegan La Mala · Immigration| Politics| US Presidential Race 2008 · 2 Comments
3 Oct 2008If we were to make a list of the issues raised in last night’s Vice Presidential debate we would have:
health care
taxes
bailout
Iraq
Iran
Pakistan
Energy
gay marriage
Hmm what’s missing? Only the stories of countless people. Only what is whispered in the barrios: the fear, the constant watching of your back. What’s the word? Oh yeah, immigration.
VP Debate : You Learn Something New Everyday cuz Apparently Bosniak is a Real Term
11:04 am By Maegan La Mala · Media| US Presidential Race 2008 · Comments Off
3 Oct 2008During the VP debate last night, I was cracking up out loud at Dem VP candidate Joe Biden’s use of the term “Bosniak”.
Pero it seems that it is a real word and wasn’t a gaffe. According to Media Matters for America:
According to the U.S. State Department, as of 2002, the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina consisted of the following ethnic groups: “Bosniak 48.3%, Serb 34.0%, Croat 15.4%, others 2.3%.”The CIA World Factbook states: “Bosniak has replaced Muslim as an ethnic term in part to avoid confusion with the religious term Muslim — an adherent of Islam.”
Morning After VP Debate Hangover : Don’t Ya Wanna Just Slap Palin Upside the Head

3 Oct 2008So far we’ve only had two presidential debates, and already tired of them. Sarah Palin’s performance yesterday wasn’t as bad as many expected/hoped. Pero her attempts to be cute just annoy me in the same way the other mothers at my daughter’s school annoy me with their fake ass ways.
Did you watch the debate last night? What did you think.
Palin Biden Debate Fever Causes Blindness to Continued ICE Terrorism

While everyone (myself included) VP debate drinking games, the U.S. federal government and ICE hope that their continued acts of terrorism against immigrant communities fly beneath the radar.
In a week’s time, ICE arrested 78 people in Pennsylvania and Delaware. The media is playing up the fact that some of those arrested had criminal records and in an effort to stir up fear, called an emergency meeting in the communities where the arrests happening.
The emergency of immigrant familias?

Obama’s Vice-Presidential Pick : Joe Biden (and Where’s My Text?)

This morning, we woke up to the news that Barack Obama has chose Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware to be his running mate. I know I didn’t get the text message I signed up for but that might have been for the better. The announcement went out via text message and email at about 3 a.m.
Joe Biden has all the experience that Obama’s critics say the presidential nominee lacks. Biden is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Biden Blames Mexico for Immigration and Drug Problems
12:46 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Immigration| Politics| mexico · 7 Comments

Democratic Senator Joe Biden, who will soon be the Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee pointed the finger south of the border, blaming Mexico for “illegal” immigration and drugs entering the U.S.
Mexico is a country that is an erstwhile democracy where they have the greatest disparity of wealth,” Biden said. “It is one of the wealthiest countries in the hemisphere and because of a corrupt system that exists in Mexico, there is the 1 percent of the population at the top, a very small middle class and the rest is abject poverty.”Unless the political dynamics change in Mexico and U.S. employers who hire illegal immigrants are punished, illegal immigration won’t stop. “All the rest is window dressing,” he said.
An even bigger problem are illegal drugs “coming up through corrupt Mexico,” he said. “People are driving across that border with tons, tons — hear me — tons of everything from byproducts for methamphetamines, to cocaine, to heroine.”
