On the rare occasion a public official is found guilty by a court for an unlawful official act, the government pays fines or restitution from the public treasury to settle grievances.
That’s not justice, that’s a perverse irony.
Instead of holding accountable the guilty individual, the government punishes the whole of the people, the taxpayers, by levying the public treasury, picking the pockets of citizens, for its own misdeeds, meanwhile often completely absolving and holding harmless themselves and their cronies.
Our governments at all levels (federal, state, local) have lost sight of the idea their role is as servants of the people, not our benefactors.
The politicians have failed, nay REFUSED, to enforce our immigration laws, and now they want to legitimize their unlawful acts.
In other words AMNESTY for VOTES.
