De Facto Amnesty

Janet Napolitano’s decision to free illegals caught in a raid and issue them work permits – to the extent of having the Department of Homeland Security drive them to the office where they needed to complete the paperwork – was the rule, not the exception. On the bright side, we can just bypass that whole pesky political debate, calling Congress and the White House, and writing letters to request our government enforce our borders. It’s a done deal:
On Sunday, April 19, 2009, Secretary Napolitano went on CNN’s “State of the Union” and proclaimed that crossing the border illegally is not a crime.
On the bright side, with unemployment at historic lows, now is a really good time to import a bunch of poorly educated entry-level workers.

At least the WSJ will be able to keep costs down with the new wave of paperboys this will bring them.

Wow, John McCain’s dream is about to come true..and he didn’t even have to tell the bigots to shut up! Congrats, Backdoor John! Mission accomplished!

What really frosts me is it’s just an executive decision to pretend certain laws don’t exist. If we went through the process and changed the law, I’d fight it tooth and nail and gripe the whole time – and afterwards, for that matter. But at some level I’d accept it because the process had been honored. To just skip all that and bypass the rule of law – I’m outraged in a way I can’t adequately describe.

So when another 9/11 happens will ole Janet be arrested for murder? Or at least aiding and abedding – if her choice not to enforce the existing law would have aided the terrorists?
And I don’t think it’ll just be a few thousand (as horrible as that was) next time. Not when they can cart a nuke across the unguarded border via some Mexican Cartel.

We are so glad to be rid of Napolitano, next on the list is John McCain and family.

Our country is in deep doo doo while these idiots are in power.
I’m thinking of hanging in the green room more often.
Less trolls to deal with and better posts.
