Ubaldo Jimenez Detained in AZ As Illegal

Nah not really but this dumb new law is sure to wrongly grab someone notable and then it will hit the fan.

 

Well boo, can you at least tell me who Ubaldo Jimenez is?

 

Some illegal who used to be Boom's favorite squeegee man in NYC before Rudy chased them all off to the desert

 

Would have been more believable if you said Rodrigo Lopez, who plays for the D'backs and is actually Mexican. (Jimenez is Dominican).

 

Jimenez is Dominican, but isn't that part of the point/joke?
The new law is primarily intended to target illegal Mexicans but is so poorly conceived it would open the door to pulling over a Cy Young-candidate pitcher who is here legally from the Dominican Republic.

 

I was just saying in the office here yesterday that a shrewd ACLU-type lawyer will find himself a blue-eyed blond Canadian who is in AZ illegally, get that person arrested, and then have a field day with the courts.

 

Altering to make it even more perfect.

 

No one's going to get nabbed. It's complete pandering, passing a law the legislators know is 100 percent unenforceable just to get the electorate worked up. Sad thing is, it works. My college-educated cousin who grew up Catholic like me but then married a Jew, moved to Madison, Wis., and somehow became an evangelical fundamentalist in the process (beats me, as her history marks her as least likely fundie of all time) was simultaneously on Facebook singing the praises of the new Arizona law while whooping it up about some district court judge who allowed a creche on public property. There's red meat that people just gobble up. It's sad.

Wandy Rodriguez might have something to worry about. In an SI interview recently, he revealed that he used a friend's identity the first couple of season he was in Houston's organization because he feared the Astros wouldn't sign him if they knew how old he was.
