Er, back to the goose and gander again, Chuckie?

US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is at the forefront of the “immigration reform” effort now going on in DC (and yes, Marco Rubio is trying to figure out how to slide into the “useful idiot” slot in being John “bring’em all in” McCain’s wingman)..  Already, what started as 844 pages earlier in the week is now 900+.  My main sticking points are:

  • Once again, we are stuck with yet another “comprehensive” solution to fix what ails us – that’s what Progressive Schumer tells us, anyways.  Remember, part of the Progressive “state of being” is the Government knows what’s best.  Yo, this is Attempt #3 by “Smart Progressive Government” to fix, ostensibly, what an earlier version of “Smart Progressive Government” already did to “fix the problem.

Yeah, emphasis on “smart”.

  • Comprehensive – let’s translate that shall we: “We have to pass the bill to see what is in it”.  This is especially true that, once again, the Left wants to express train this puppy to a final vote

And let NOTHING stand in its way – from the Daily Caller:

WASHINGTON — New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer admonished colleagues not to “try to conflate” the immigration reform bill that the Senate is considering with the bombings at the Boston Marathon, the perpetrators of which have been identified as immigrants.

“I’d like to ask that all of us not jump to conclusions regarding the events in Boston or try to conflate those events with this legislation,” Schumer said Friday at a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the immigration bill.

Translation:

“Let’s not let the actions of a few rogue immigrants derail the passing of this immigration bill“.

Yet, what did we just go through with Schumer and the Progressive figuratively salivating over taking away a Constitutional Right?

Let’s us pass these comprehensive gun restriction laws due to the actions of a few rogue mental ill.

Goose / Gander?  The only thing that is Consistent in dealing with Progressives is to get to their eventual end game – there is no consistency in action otherwise.  For the actions of small handful of folks, Progressives were absolutely ready to place a lot of restrictions upon tens of millions law abiding citizens for “the common good” (and a few more incremental steps in disarming the populace).  For the actions of a few, the majority of Citizens must suffer.

Yet, when it comes to immigration (and face it, they see this as adding millions of new Democrats (and dependents), so let’s not let a few killer immigrants slow us down, eh?  Even if they put an entire (and major) city into lock down!   For the actions of a few, the immigrant-to-be majority cannot be made to suffer.
