Media Matter catches Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) on the House floor last night comparing the capture of undocumented aliens to that of exotic grasshoppers.
Now it seems to me that if we are so advanced with technology and manpower and competence that we can capture illegal grasshoppers from Brazil, in the holds of ships that are in a little small place in Port Arthur, Texas on the Sabine River. … If we’re able to do that as a country, how come we can’t capture the thousands of people that cross the border everyday on the southern border of the United States?
You know they’re a little bigger than grasshoppers and they should be able to be captured easier.
The context here creates itself.

So Poe compares Illegals to insects?
I have an idea…….Let's tag those who cannot use thought process to come up with viable ideas and solutions (kind of like insects, except insects have an ecological niche) with microchips so we can always know who they are, and have them pay for the procedure (I sure as h**l don't want to pay for it) in chickens. Let's not, however, forget that they should carry a valid card for verification that they should show when law enforcement stops them to verify that they ARE indeed Republicans and not insects, and have them on the Gulf Coast cleaning up the oil destroying it, while singing aloud: “Drill, baby, drill”.
