All will be immediate de facto citizens, and no doubt required by law to throw away their fraudulent social security cards when they get the real ones in the mail. Of course they won’t. They simply pass them along to the new wave. True.
...the president signals to a fractious Congress, where immigration legislation has been stalled for years, that humanitarian concerns must, in the end, be weighed against the costs of inaction.
Anonymous editorial. By Definition. The quintessential example of personal opinion, unencumbered by facts or consequences. Consider that the relatively "minor" example of the choice of shooting down an airliner full of passengers under control of insane terrorists, is "accepted" as rational, under the doctrine of the greater good between equally horrendous choices.
Laws must be identically regarded. The only justification for laws is the greater good. No individual, under any circumstances can create a universal exception. The cost of inaction is minuscule compared to the obvious consequences of ignoring the Constitution by decree.
The United States, indeed, no single nation, can solve the existence of world-wide political, economic or social poverty. Individuals can decide to choose joining the victims as a personal choice. An elected leader of millions cannot make that choice on behalf of the millions who elected him, relying on his absolute obligations defined the Constitution and by his oath of office.
The cost of inaction in inexcusable, but the cost of action which is both illegal and increases the threat of life and limb, to say nothing of certain bankruptcy, if no one is prepared to define a limit to how many "miserable" people worldwide we are "morally obligated" to rescue. The Constitution nowhere defines moral obligation; nor does it empower any individual to exercise its arbitrary application and obligation on the United States.
We are either a nation of laws, or we are not, and no moral grandstanding nullifies the foundation of both our Republic and its Laws.
Certainly, no individual, sane or sociopath.
Doesn't take much imagination to see the consequences of electing Ted Kaczynski president. We are about to see the results. Read Kaczynski's megalomaniacal declaration, and I cannot perceive any difference whatsoever with our official First Megalomaniac.
And the thousands of people who have been trying for years to enter legally are screwed again. Along with us, of course.
“Texas should direct all illegals to MA, where they will be welcome to sign up for all the benefits they need.”
I agree. They should also build a shelter on Beacon Hill so these people can get acclimated before moving to the greater Boston area.
Do that and within a week the Boston Globe will be to the right of Fox News.
Lost in all the noise of "moral obligation" and "it's the right thing to do" is the fact that the criminal Gruber (and his RICO buddies) did not just successfully rely on the "stupidity" of the American voter, but also the stupidity and fiscal ignorance of...
THE SUPREME COURT. Stupid and ignorant.
THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE.Stupid and ignorant.
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.Stupid and ignorant.
THE SENATE. Stupid and ignorant.
THE MSM. Stupid and ignorant. (The only accurate one.)
THE AMERICAN VOTER? Not so much! (at least 50% of us.)
Related to all this, Obamacare previously could not be challenged before the Supreme Court because all of its victims, the American Citizens, did not enjoy "standing," defined as having suffered "harm."
That has now changed dramatically, both by the admission of fraud by its main architect, and by the U.S. Senate, and by the now millions of Americans who have actually been driven to or over the brink of bankruptcy by the cost of "affordable" health care.
Class action suit. Now. The sooner the process is started, the better.
Hard to imagine any victim whose premiums and deductibles have increased 500 to 1000% would not be compelled to join the plaintiffs. Bet it would not take longer than a week to get the first million signatures...
I won't waste my time. I will write (snail mail) all my Federal and State representatives informing them that unless they publicly stop supporting Obama's policies, I will work actively starting today to make sure they are not re-elected.
This will begin with any Senators and representative who "changed their minds" today to approve the Keystone Pipeline. These elected morons, at the federal level, don't grasp the obvious fact the whatever district or state they represent, their uninformed and stupid decisions affects the entire country.
In my home state, California, they pile on Bond indebtedness that can't be paid off until I have been dead for decades. And they do this EVERY election!!
Whatta bout Wyo.?
