Okay, maybe that wasnt the best metaphor, but he fumbled an important opportunity. The problem with the presidents amnesty decree is not that it makes it more difficult to reach that long-term solution because an executive order is, of course, just a short-term matter it can be reversed by subsequent presidents. The problem is that its u-n-c-o-n-s-t-i-t-u-t-i-o-n-a-l. You would expect Allen West and Steve King to be forceful in denouncing this usurpation, but even Amnesty John McCain and Rick you dont have a heart Perry were strong. Heck, Lindsey Graham Lindsey Graham denounced the move as possibly illegal. And the fact that Romney didnt answer when asked if hed reverse the order is an especially bad sign.
I know all those whove been accusing me of being in the tank for Romney will say I told you so, but my distress isnt really about his views on the policy issue at hand he seemed to endorse Rubios as-yet-not-introduced revision of the DREAM Act, which Im pretty sure I wont like. Im appalled because this is a fundamental matter of our political order

Perhaps we should have a rule in the Party like we do in Texas for candidates: sign a paper saying you’ve read the Platform and rules and then talk about at least 10 things in the Platform. No money if the candidate refuses.
Or better yet, if there are to be some - like these plaintiffs - who are so much wiser than the rest of us, perhaps we should do away with the Primaries all together.
Or the turncoats could go form their own party.
“perhaps we should do away with the Primaries all together.”
Perhaps we should. They wouldn’t be missed in the slightest.
” Jeb should stick to FLA. “
Jeb should retire, and quit foisting crap on us.
Bingo
I will never vote for another member of the Bush family.
It seems to me that the only practical manner, short of an expensive and invasive deportation program, is to make it extremely difficult to live here such as states cannot issue driving licenses or occupational licenses under threat of losing highway or other related funding that allows an illegal to do business here, enforce existing laws hammer businesses with new exhorbirate fines for hiring illegal subcontractors which is rampant in the construction businesses, remove non profit statuses to churches that give basic livelihood essentials to illegals, treat all illegal felons with greater penalties than US citizens as their rights are not recognized or guaranteed in constitution (otherwise you couldn’t have GTMO), along with the other discussed policy changes such as reversing anchor baby scenarios. Oh, and landlords/apt owners could lose properties for housing illegals. That’s what it would take if people really wanted to get serious about dealing with existing illegals....otherwise we are just venting on a web blog.
Ya think?
Way back in 1994, California was way ahead of the rest of the country Ramjet.
Lookup CA prop 187 Ramjet. It won big!
It would have prevented illegal alines from using tax paid services.
It was California Prop 187 that made me realized the government had no damn intention of securing our borders, and were operating like a GD dictatorship.
What did the state and their fedgov co-conspirators do *after* Californians voted for in a a free election and won big? I'll tell ya what they did. Your government ruling class declared California's free election, illegal and burned their GD ballots.
The results of that massive, country killing government control and intrusion can now be seen coast to coast, right in your back yard Ramjet.
Fact of the matter is, your government is one big fraud, filled with evil traitors and betrayers.
