Motel 6 Under Fire for Respecting Laws (calling ICE)

[Fife]

In related news, Motel 6 has 3,033 followers, and their Twitter bio, or whatever you call that, is "Save more for what you travel for. #ThrillsNotFrills." I had some thrills in a Motel 6 back about 92 IIRC. Not much Frills, and no twitter, but some Thrills, yep.

Oh, I'm sorry - Jenny Rae on Twitter says otherwise? Well, damn. There you go. If you can find one anonymous twitter idiot somewhere on earth saying something contrary, then clearly you're not a fool.

On a related note, I love how HM and GCF hammer this point home, as if they aren't the very sort of people who make these policies necessary:

“We send a report every morning to ICE — all the names of everybody that comes in,” one front-desk clerk told the New Times. “Every morning at about 5 o’clock, we do the audit and we push a button and it sends it to ICE.”

Right - they send in everyone's info.
Why though?

Ah, I remember now. Because if Motel 6 only sent in the information of people using Mexican ID cards, and who could provide no US documentation whatsoever, then an army of GCF & Nanny goats would rise up screaming "OMG OMG OMG RACIAL PROFILING! RACISM!!!!" until the entire chain had to be shut down.

So you're actually to blame for this problem.
When folks like yourselves vilify all common sense methods of policing as racism, the only remaining option is to target EVERYBODY because anything less than everyone is racism, right?
Clownz.

Sorry, I couldn't really hear you over the deafening sound of sloshing from all that water you are carrying for the Department of Homeland Security, DB.

Well please don't tell your boon companions and #1 priority people about it.
I hear they're awful thirsty after hot-footing it across the desert, eh?

Wait... the Muslims or the Mexicans.

It is so hard to choose which filthy desert peasants to care about more than Americans sometimes.

"common sense methods of policing".... Like a standard of sending ALL NAMES OF HOTEL GUESTS IN THE UNITED STATES to the government every morning.
Like penetrating all private communications, "to scan for terrorists".
Like distributing tanks and combat vehicles to police departments.
Like shooting anyone who may present a threat to any law enforcement officer.

I'm talking about a business decision by a low-rate motel firm. Not the Four Seasons, not even Holiday Inn -- Motel 6.

Is being the "see-something, say-something" provider going to help them get yuge market share?

Now, if you want to pass a law requiring innkeepers to act like banks have to act nowadays in snooping into their customers' business, call your Congressman I guess.

I really think somedays some of you all really do want to live in the Panopticon. Why are you all so shook the fuck up?

Sounds to me like you don't appreciate businesses being able to operate as they freely choose.
I'm fine with Motel 6, Arizona, doing this if they want to.
Their customers can make their own decisions.

You, on the other hand, seem scandalized that any business might freely choose to notify authorities when scores of criminals are trying to quietly leverage their services.

Who is really pushing Panopticon USA, Fife?
The guy who says "let business do what they want" or the guy who says "OMG OMG OMG POLICE STATE, STOP MOTEL 6 NOW!!!"?

Reality dose.
Have one.

They both think this is fine, right?

I'm not the only one that can see that?

DB, Fife says private business can do what it do.
