Mark Levin is right. The Undocumented Auntie isn't even one of the 12, 15, 30, whatever million run-of-the-mill Undocumented-Americans who just wander into the country and decide to stay. She's one of the far more select number - half a million or so - who've been served a deportation order. She is, in law, not merely an illegal immigrant but what ICE call a "fugitive alien". So when John Conyers gets huffy about "leaks", is it even possible to "leak" that someone's a "fugitive"? When regular boring US citizens are fugitives, they get pasted up on Post Office walls and written up in the papers. And, in the event that someone discovers that the guy on the lam is holed up at 27b Elm Street, there's not usually a wave of outrage on the appalling breach of the fugitive's privacy rights. If I were Joe the Plumber, I'd ask Aunt Zeituni if I could move in. It's his best chance of a quiet life. |

#2 If Joe moved in, he's a plumber, and he can fix the leaks. Sorry. |

#1 Leaks? She's a law breaker, and that is a matter of public record. She's a fugitive from justice, so that data is PUBLIC. Unlike Joe the Plumber, she has broken the law and continues to do so. |
