WHAT “RIGHTS” DO ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE? WHAT IS THE OBAMA REGIME GIVING THEM?
by One Pissed-off Vietnam Vet
(Sep. 1, 2011) — Before a word is born, before an identity is attached to a sound, or a combination of sounds, an idea, or a concept, has to take hold. Sometimes it happens in a “New York minute,” which, I believe, is somewhere in the neighborhood of one-tenth of a nanosecond, perhaps less. The concept of “rights” is a fairly new invention. More thought has been expounded on the subject of what the obligations of the citizens have to the state than on any other political subject.
The freedoms that Americans have enjoyed for over two hundred years were made possible by a path thousands of years old trampled with untold thousands of people who realized that freedom was worth fighting and dying for. Revolts long ago have remained in our collective conscience, as have the names of history’s despots, and for good reason: the failure of eternal vigilance, for inaction, for complacency, is to allow the door to be open for people who have no respect for the law, thereby no respect for us, be they tyrants or followers.
One of Yogi Berra’s quotes comes to mind: “Nobody goes there anymore; it’s too crowded.” And that’s what’s happening now, here in America. This country was successful for one reason: the citizens supported the Constitution. Legal immigrants came to America to take part in the dream that if everyone works hard and follows the laws of the land, then everyone should reap the rewards. I made the Dean’s list in college by studying until 3 AM every night, and after I graduated, I was rewarded for my hard work by being hired for a job that I would’ve done for free, had I the money, it was so much fun. But as the police officer said to a person wanting to video an event, after Obama was elected, “This ain’t America no more.”
Everyone wants a fair and equitable chance at whatever they strive for, but it is not logical to go to a place unlawfully in the pursuit of lawful rewards; in other words, parasitic illegal immigrants in our public schools draining the resources of legal taxpayers, rendering a once effective education system ineffective, barely able to cope with a major influx of students who shouldn’t be here. The cost of allowing illegal immigrants to live in America is, by their disregard for the law, bringing America down to the level from whence they came. Talk about wrecking their own dream.
These illegal immigrants, who so dearly want to stay in this country but are not obliged to act lawfully, are themselves destroying what prompted their being here in the first place. They are, without a doubt, shooting themselves in the foot, refusing to realize that the system supported by mindless politicians such as Harry Reid, John McCain and Nancy Pelosi, who fail to understand sound economic practices, is unsustainable, and that they, the illegal immigrants, are overloading the system. They are, besides sinking their own ship, sinking ours.
Freedom is a responsibility, and being illegal is the epitome of being irresponsible, bereft of integrity and any Civil Rights they have imagined that they deserve. Lawbreakers do not deserve “rights.” By acquiescing to lawbreakers within our midst, we cheapen the values that this country once held dear. Our de facto President and Congress are morally bankrupt, and most law enforcement have turned their backs on the Constitution. By championing illegal immigration, by encouraging illegal acts, by supporting amnesty, we devalue our heritage, we underscore our essence until America has diminished in stature to a place where people used to want to be. Deport them all.

Editor’s Note: New evidence has been released by Judicial Watch indicating that the Obama regime ordered that deportations of illegal aliens were to be evaluated on a “case-by-case” basis, which was a change in policy, without the approval of the U.S. Congress. This news follows on the heels of the arrest of Obama’s uncle for driving while intoxicated and the subsequent discovery that he is in the country illegally.
