On April 26^th Iowa's Third District Republican congressional hopeful, Pat Bertroche, a physician said this:

“I think we should catch ’em, we should document ’em, make sure we know where they are and where they are going,” said Pat Bertroche, an Urbandale physician. “I actually support micro-chipping them. I can micro-chip my dog so I can find it. Why can’t I micro-chip an illegal?

Equating illegals with dogs is blatant racism and denigrates all people. There is no humanity in his statement.

The Republican Party with Bertroche as a member shows how extremist they have become. It shows how Nazi-like the party is.

Certainly illegal immigration is a big problem and in the past 30 years we have seen politicians on both sides unwilling to do anything about it such as making companies pay the legal price for hiring illegals.

Strengthening the border can help but its porosity will continue so long as there is a high demand for illegals. No jobs for illegals in the United States means fewer illegals. It also might force Mexico to address why their citizens want to leave.

Oh yeah... how about implanting micro chips in all Iowa Republicans?
