Although I understand Kennedy instituted the 'abnormal' relations with Cuba via much the same means.
I agree with you 100%.
Look at the bright side... politically.... If Amnesty prevails and the borders secured the so called "immigration" problem will no longer be a campaign issue for the democrats.
All republicans need to do is articulate their conservative ideas and they will win the votes from all races, creeds and nationalities and they will win. Conservatism (when articulated, wins everytime).
Conceding to the Cuban government is a lose lose situation for the Obama administration and democrats who stand behind it not to mention bypassing Congress to do it.
Politically BOTH can be good for the republican party (and I am not a republican).
Unfortunately, the way Obama's doing both is spitting at the US Constitution and causing damage to this great nation of ours.
I have my doubts that Republicans will be able to articulate conservative ideas because if there was an ounce of conservatism in their blood Obama would not have gotten as far as he has without having been impeached. I just don't see how one can ignore the US Constitution and claim to be conservative at the same time.
At this point John Boehner is just as guilty as Obama for allowing it all to happen.
