Big Government (emphasis mine):
MCALLEN, Texas — Given the opportunity to get to the White House, presidential candidate Jeb Bush would fight to grant Dreamers a path to citizenship while working to fix the broken immigration system in America. “I, as President, I would go to congress and change the law to give them not a residency but citizenship,” Bush said in Spanish during a meeting attended by this writer.
While many can point to Ted “The Swimmer” Kennedy for radically changing our immigration laws that had worked so well for all the right reasons to make our country BETTER, I think it simple to blame the real rolling start by both Papa George and Big Bro George. By not enforcing the Law, it became “broken”. Obama merely picked up the “power out of the street” and pretty much removed the Law from our Border.
And Jeb Bush would want to reward the Lawlessness of those kids’ parents who will have broken our law for EXACTLY what I have been saying for years. It is NOT wrong to want better the lives of their kids. Too many people, like Jeb, are all too willing to fall for the Democrat line in continuing the “victimhood” of this situation. Instead, I hear little that parents have accomplished their mission at the expense of our Law and THEIR failure to follow that Law in making that happen. And to boot, unlike what the Law would call for, those parents will not suffer any consequence for breaking our Law.
Instead, they have won the Illegal Alien Lottery – if not for them but for their children. And I ask – at what expense? No, not just the fact of other peoples’ money (more on that later) but that their children see that the first act of their parents was to break the Law by not following it to apply and work for LEGAL admission to our country and LEGALLY being able to stay.
And Jeb is just dandy with that. Isn’t that a hard slap in the face of our naturalized Citizens who waited long, studied hard, and paid much to come here legally and by obeying the Law? Isn’t THIS a fundamental part of being an American?
And it is quite clear that the Bushes did nothing to stop it with any kind of full throated law.
And Jeb will put that feeble effort a foot into the ground with this. This is not an “Act of Love” – it is a deliberate decision to not enforce the Law.
Haven’t we had enough of this the last 8 years?
