Does The ACLU Actually Believe This?

J.J. Jackson* | May 6, 2006

?Random checks are a violation of the Fourth Amendment,? she said. ?You do not have to let the police onto your property or work site unless they have warrants. You can?t make people sign pledges that would let them sign away their Fourth Amendment right.? - Cincinnatti Enquirer

This quote comes because Butler County is taking action against companies that hire illegal aliens

Butler County leaders are moving forward with a plan to require anyone who seeks a building permit to sign a pledge not to hire illegal immigrants. Random job site inspections also would be conducted by the Butler County Auditor’s Office, with results reported to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Now, believe it or not I do actually agree with the ACLU on this. The county cannot and should not be allowed to “randomly” inspect private property without probable cause and a warrant. But I also know the ACLU well enough to understand that they don’t really believe this. Rather it is simply a means to their desired ends, which is to make sure that anyone trying to crack down on criminal aliens is stopped and intimidated by threat of legal action.

How do I know this?

Because the ACLU has yet, to the best of my knowledge, to file a lawsuit about the warrantless searches and seizures every year by governments demanding businesses and citizens disclose the contents of their finances and private papers. When the ACLU takes up the unconstitutionality of the warrentless search of citizens each year through federal and state income tax laws and fights those as hard as they fight against crosses on city seals (which actually are Constitutional!) then maybe I will take them more seriously!
