The Campaign that Must End

This morning I found the same message twice in the space of an hour.  First in USA Today's front page article about Jeb Bush, then an interview with Condoleeza Rice on Fox & Friends.  Both were focused on making illegal immigrants legal.

Is it possible all this is tied into Obama's stated priority, which is what he calls "Comprehensive Immigration Reform", but really means "Get as many illegal immigrants voter registration cards as possible before the next election".

We're the only country in the world that refuses to enforce our immigration laws.  Perhaps the most ironic example is Mexico, which happens to be the source of most of our illegal alien population.  Mexico hands out flyers with advice for their people on how to game the U.S. immigration system and the best places to sneak across the border.  But imagine somebody in the U.S. were to sneak into Mexico.  Think they'll be welcoming, as those on the U.S. side advocating open borders demand we be to those who sneak into Texas and Arizona?  Actually, if you're caught sneaking into Mexico, you're guaranteed to be treated harshly.

The unholy alliance that keeps the borders dangerous and lawless is made up of both liberals and so-called conservatives.  Liberals want open borders because they see it as the most valuable path to permanent Democrat party rule, since hispanics vote Democrat in overwhelming numbers.  Republicans want open borders because it's a source of cheap labor.

Hiring an illegal means you don't have to worry about minimum wage, overtime laws, health benefits, or any of those other restrictive government rules.  Illegals tend to show up every day and give you an honest day's work.  Americans tend to show up when they feel like it, often late, then try to give the minimum amount of work effort that just barely keeps them from being fired.  Americans are also more likely to be stoned, and more likely to join unions that promise to make employers' lives even more difficult.

So we have the rare case of Obama being joined by John McCain and Lindsey Graham to push for an open borders bill.  USA Today and Fox News are playing along with this morning's campaign messages from Republicans like Bush and Rice to tell us why we must at least give these 12 million illegals green cards, if not outright citizenship.  McCain and Graham at least say they're demanding secure borders before they'll go along with the other provisions in the new immigration law.  Bush joins Obama on that subject, claiming border enforcement is impractical and unnecessary.

What ever happened to enforcing our country's laws?  What's so wrong with securing the borders and deporting illegals whenever we find them?  Is there any other country in the world that would show sensitivity to a teenager who grew up in their country illegally because he was brought in by his parents?

These folks who are here illegally know they broke the laws.  They likely also have manufactured false ID's and bogus social security numbers which in many cases represent identify theft.

Instead we're opening the cell doors and releasing captured illegals back to the streets, as an Obama punishment to the citizens for allowing the "sequester" to go through.

I have never been more disgusted with my country's leaders, or perhaps with the idiot citizens who gave them the power to destroy us from within.
