Effective immediately, the President said, the United States would no
longer try to deport any young people who are in this country
illegally. If they were brought to this country as children and are not
yet 30 years old, they’ll get a free pass for the next two years. The
only stipulations are that they have no criminal record and have
completed high school, earned a GED diploma or served in the military.
No one knows for sure how many illegals will benefit from the new
rule, but estimates are that the number could be as high as 800,000. And
no one knows how many votes this ploy will garner the President in
November, but it could be several million.
So, once again, we have the disturbing specter of the President of
the United States — the Numero Uno government official who, per the
Constitution, is responsible for seeing that Federal laws are fully and
fairly enforced — blithely announcing that he is going to ignore the law
of the land and do whatever he wants.
Of course, this isn’t the first time such a thing has happened. It
isn’t even the fourth or fifth time it’s happened. It’s been a hallmark
of Obama’s Administration almost from his first year in office, when he
said that the Federal government would not enforce the Defense of
Marriage Act.
Right now, the Justice Department is waging war on officials in
Florida because the Governor there wanted the election rolls purged of
any people who are not legal residents of this country. That sounded
pretty reasonable to me. But I guess someone in Washington realized that
a lot of those illegal aliens were voting for Democrats, so maybe the
Florida officials should be stopped.
Florida is basically Conservative and many of us were shocked when the state...barely mind you...went for King Barry The First in the 2008 elections.
In other words, Barry himself would not be allowed to vote here because his birth certificate wouldn't pass muster, and his prior Chicago address changed from day to day depending upon which way the wind was blowing.
