To Be Announced...

Funnily enough, while we're on the topic of illegal immigration...The Marshalltown Times-Republican is planning on conducting a "summit" on immigration issues following the Swift raid a while back...

Tickets will be required for immigration summit

Those wishing to attend the National Summit on Immigration taking place in Marshalltown Feb. 26 will need a ticket to do so.

Because of very limited space and extremely high interest, the Times-Republican is instituting a ticket policy. Tickets are free and on a first come, first served basis.

Requests for tickets will only be accepted through the U.S. Mail. This means absolutely no tickets will be granted over the phone or via e-mail.

Each ticket request needs to include a name, address and phone number and a self-addressed, return stamped envelope. Those without the self-addressed, stamped envelope will not be considered.

Requests should also include whether the person seeking tickets will be coming as an independent party or will be representing a group or organization.

Do you think I could send one in a phoney name, address and phone number and call myself an UNDOCUMENTED Marshalltownian? It sounds a little like an attempt to limit speech. I'm naturally suspicious especially considering the editor's words recently:

Marshalltown editor: immigrations raids don't work

Ken Larson, the managing editor of the Marshalltown Times-Rebublican, said a summit is scheduled for Feb. 26 at Dejarden Hall at Marshalltown Community College.

“We want to do two things — to make sure the higher officials we invite can walk away educated knowing that we’ve been doing immigration raids for how many decades, and the population continues to rise, so (the raids) are not working,”

And that last part about having to identify myself as an individual or part of a group or organization...if I'm a member of the Minuteman Project, do you think they'll give me a ticket?
