“Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger — we were strangers once, too. My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too.” (Matthew Vadum).But the ‘Ego King’ was much less than kingly when he portrayed millions of Latinos he is saving from deportation with a wave of his magic wand as those who “pick our fruit and make our beds”. Surely it is racist to portray all Latinos as the downstairs in the ‘Upstairs Downstairs’ caricature range. There surely must be many waiting for overnight legitimacy who double the brain power of elected senators. What Obama really did with his latest fiat was to pounce on the Good Ship America, adrift for six long years on the open sea, to scuttle it. Americans, whom he was elected to represent, are now figuratively swimming in a shark-infested sea without life jackets looking for any kind of driftwood to keep from perishing. But above all, defiantly Marxist in English-tranlated-to-Spanish speech,Obama, who no less than 22 times said it would not be within his constitutional power to deliver Executive Amnesty, is denying that what he delivered last night was really Amnesty:
“Amnesty is the immigration system we have today. Millions of people who live here without paying their taxes or playing by the rules, while politicians use the issue to scare people and whip up votes at election time. That’s the real amnesty, leaving this broken system the way it is. Mass amnesty would be unfair.” “Nor is the immigration system broken, at least not in the way Obama means. (Vadum) “When progressives say the system is broken, they mean it is functioning in a less than optimal manner, failing to capture every single prospective illegal alien available to wade across the Rio Grande or walk across the nation’s largely undefended border with Mexico. To them, immigration policy is a taxpayer-subsidized get-out-the-vote scheme for Democrats and the best reform they could imagine would be to abolish America’s borders altogether. Obama’s new amnesty plan is a step in this direction. “It is also a profoundly cynical move that rewards lawbreaking and begets future immigration amnesties. It will spell electoral death for the Republican Party in coming years because “Latinos, who are believed to comprise the bulk of the illegals, have traditionally shown a strong preference for the Democratic Party and its left-of-center public policies. The amnesty for 5 million illegals is likely just the beginning. The government recently issued a procurement order seeking a contractor to make as many as 34 million immigration documents over the coming five years.”For the survival searchers on the big morning after: Don’t, whatever you do, count on the jellyfish-spined Boehners and McConnells tripping over their own pant legs insisting to be ‘the pants-on truthers’ trying to catch up with the lie now out there going breakneck-speed around the upside-down world. All dumped into the sea last night: grab onto any piece of driftwood within your reach. The enemy is not the five million illegals to be granted Amnesty-that’s-not-Amnesty by the wand of a newly crowned king: Check out that tiny graphic on Obama’s latest ad where you will understand that you would have to be a mad man beyond saving if you run with an ad depicting a crown graphic on the very next day after you sunk the Good Ship America.
