Never Mind Actually Enforcing The Laws
CNN reports that the Feds aren't going to act on the kid's revelation to Michelle Obama that her mom's in the country illegally:
"My mom said, I think that she says that, Barack Obama is going to take away everybody that doesn't have papers," the young girl told Mrs. Obama as she visited a Washington-area school with Mexican first lady Margarita Zavala.The unscripted moment was sandwiched between examples of Michelle Obama's signature policy initiatives -- a lesson on healthy eating and an exercise session -- and forced the first lady to walk the fine line of immigration reform policy language.
"Yeah, well, that's something that we have to work on, right? To make sure that people can be here with the right kind of papers, right? That's exactly right," she said.
The girl replied, "But my mom doesn't have any."
"[W]ell we have to work on that; we have to fix that and everybody's got to work together in Congress to make sure that happens. That's right," Obama said before moving to the next question.
So basically we have a confession of a federal crime. Will they do anything about it?

Of course no one will do anything about it. You're talking about people whose ideas are more important than anything else.

Good thing Michelle wasn't talking to the kids about staying away from drugs.
"My Mommy told Daddy that she doesn't like that he's making crack in the bathroom all the time, when she wants to get in there to put on her makeup and stuff."
Kids say that darnedest things!
