For a long time now I've been for increased legal immigration and ease of legal immigration and just as strongly against illegal immigration. So you can see how I would be pretty big on border patrol being relatively heavy handed. That ended this afternoon.
I'm still just as strongly against illegal immigration but the border patrol being too aggressive is infringing on one of the most fundamental rights of the Mexican folks. Which is to say, catching the bigass flathead catfish that live in the Rio Grande. There's a lot of things I'm willing to allow for a solid border and rule of law but fucking with the pursuit of huge, delicious flathead is not among them. I'm going to have to revisit my views on river policy.
For them of you what ain't aware, most catfish over five pounds start getting unfortunate amounts of yellow, fatty meat that is other than the light, flaky, delicious meat that you expect to enjoy when experienced on a dinner plate. Now you can cut it out but that always seems wasteful, which is part of why a lot of catfish folks throw back anything over a certain size. Flatheads taste better than blues and channels (what you eat if you order catfish at a restaurant) to start with because they eat live bait almost exclusively and hardly have the yellow fat issue at all; if you catch an eighty pound flathead, you can expect to enjoy every bit of meat on it. They're also the most challenging to catch of the catfish in the US.

You know, TMB, there are catfish beyond your imagination? One is the Wels, the Danube River Cat [wikipedia.org], also known to exist in other European drainages, and rumored to eat children. Then there is the Mekong Catfish, known to eat children. So if you are against immigration, it should be against these catfish, since they are large enough to eat you, instead of your eating them. [wikipedia.org]
Not that they would be illegal. And no human can be "illegal", unless they code wrong, or are a racist misogynist bastard who cannot abide people who dye their hair non-natural colours.
So, In the Pleistocene, not just the Megalodon (big tooth, for you non-greek speakers), but the Megalosuck! 7-meter catfish! You can only dream! Or have nightmares of! Careful for which you fish. They may not always be alt-right.

Oh I'm familiar with the larger than US catfish species very wels. I just haven't decided if it's worth suffering through international travel to go catch a two hundred pound catfish yet.
As for easter egg hair colors, I used to have quite a thing for chicks with enough lack of give-a-shit to sport them back when they were also likely to be styled in a mohawk or something otherwise funky. Then it became not just trendy but damned near a uniform for spoiled little college bitches and ruined it for me entirely. The previous group tended to actually be strong women instead of just talking about how strong they were while being horrible cunts to everyone to prove it.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
