You can't celebrate the law and blatantly ignore the Constitution as Lincoln consistently and brazenly did. As for sealing the borders, I of course meant to illegal immigration and defending ourselves abroad, pre-emptively if necessary. The President's inaugural today announced that big government is here to stay and even worse, we are now going to become interventionalist in the affairs of other sovereign nations. In any event, it was in large part full of hot air, as without doubt we will still be doing business with China, that paragon of freedom, as well as with our good friends the Pakistanis and the Saudis. If words mean things, he's going to have to back them up with actions. Hopefully they will be better thought out than this sad speech and with the ridiculous plan of dealing with illegals by granting them permits to be here. Being interventionalist abroad does no good at all when our northern and southern borders leak like sieves, cargo comes into the country virtually unchecked, our Transportation secretary Mineta won't allow for screening of airline passengers based on nationality and threatens legal action against the airlines that dare to try.
The only ones that brazenly violated the law were wearing grey.
