The Illegal Hear No Evil
It’s too soon to predict the impact of our Senate, and later our Congress’ contributions to the Great Immigration Overhaul Revamp Bill Debacle, whatever you want to call it. But this much is certain. Again, our deeply conceited elected officials are going to ram legislation down our throats, as they believe we’re all just to dumb to know what’s good for us.
While Arizona Senator John McCain throws around the f-bombs to the Senate bill’s opposition, closed door negotiations with so-called moderate liberals, conservatives, and La Raza, one part of the process is being blown off: the testimony of the affected. We always hear from veterans, widows, actors (and actresses), doctors, and activists. Yet, this time out, it’s what we’re not going to hear that’s the key.
“It is not amnesty. This will restore the rule of law” – Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter
Let’s make one thing perfectly clear. Whatever the politicos on Capitol Hill come up with, this is not about bringing anywhere from 12-24 million illegal immigrants out from the shadows and into the sunshine that is America, or however Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy put it. They are not in the shadows, but giving law-abiding American citizens the middle finger. Remember the millions of illegal aliens that marched in our streets last summer, DEMANDING rights and benefits reserved for citizens?

I fear that one of these days I will wake up in what used to be Arizona and realize that I am really in Mexico. Will I then become an oppressed minority with special rights? I doubt it.

Our government no longer represents either the will or the interests of the people. It is run by selfish, self centered, narcissistic, arrogant professional politicians bent on obtaining more and more power for themselves who think they and only they know whats best for the all. One of the Founding Fathers once said something to the effect that an occasional revolution is a good thing. I think he may have been right.

This is about creating 12 to 24 million new Mexican Democrats. And the idiotic “Republicans” are allowing for their own (self-destructive) reasons. We’re watching the United States implode, and it may be too late to do anything about it.

After all these 12 to 20 million and their extended families become new citizens won’t they all qualify for affirmative action preferences on jobs, housing loans, contracts for minority owned businesses when they open them, etc/? Sure, why not, for all the years we Norte Americanos have discriminated against illegals! The ripples from the political crapola in DC will go on and on. Will we remember in November? Too late. We need to get into the primaries or else it is voting for Republican TweedleDum or Democrat TweedleDummer.
