They've Done It To Us Again

After being served notice by law-abiding citizens of this country that we have had our fill of lawlessness at our southern borders and have had enough of millions of illegals doing whatever they want and then insisting that we just give them something others have had to wait decades for, namely citizenship, our elected tormentors torpedoed immigration reform largely along partisan lines. The Democrats led by Kennedy said "poo" to tougher enforcement and making immigrants have to pay fines. According to the bill approved by the House earlier this week, anyone here 5 years or more would simply have to pay a fine and then wait a small amount of time and then they could have their citizenship. Anyone here less than 5 years or more than 3 would have to go back to their country of origin, fill out the paperwork at the nearest US consults or embassy, wait a little bit, and them come back to the US. Anyone else (like less then 2 years) was immediately sent packing back to where ever the heck you came from.

Reasonable.
Logical.
Fair.
Balanced.

Which is precisely why it was doomed from the start. The bill had no hope of seeing life because of the likes of Ted Kennedy and his ilk. It was far too fair, it required folks to actually get the hell in line with the rest of the others who have been waiting far longer than 5 years for their citizenship and they have followed the law. Now the Democrats want to just GIVE citizenship away, like it means nothing to them because in essence their own freedom and citizenship mean nothing to them. They look down upon the republic and everything that it stands for. They detest the fact that anyone that has ever achieved anything in this country has had to work their asses off to get where they are. And that is also something that the left cannot stand because those on the left have never been able to compete, never been able to even hold a fast food job if they wanted to. They want everybody to be the same, poor and disenfranchised. Like the Soviet system before, the left here wants everything for nothing. They want their freedom but don't want to do the work of protecting it. They want all benefits of a rich state, but don't want to work for it. They want all the freedom of the rule of law but donot want to held accountable for their actions. To them, all worldviews are acceptable from child rape to polygamy. and they despise the values of the common man and woman.
As for the values of the common man that the likes of Kennedy hold in such contempt, I am not talking about religious ones. I am talking about the values of hard work, common sense, loyalty, duty to one's neighbor's, looking out for the less fortunate, being held accountable for your deeds and words...those and others are values that the left hold in such utter contempt. I personally try my hardest to practice those values and others because they require a certain amount of personal integrity, something the leftists also hold in utter contempt. Refusing to do what is convenient in order to do what is ethically or honorably proper is also an American value. What we are saying to the illegals is go ahead and come here, burden our system, exploit the loop holes in our laws and make yourselves right at home. To the American taxpayer and citizen we are saying up yours, you are going to ake this up your ass and like it. The elected tormentors decided to not hold people accountable and decided to leave our borders open, failing that basic test of government which is to protect those of us here from those who would do us violence in the name of whatever religious or political flavor of the month.
If the Democrats really thought that this will gain them the Latino vote, then they are in for a rude shock. Almost every single Latino that I have as coworkers, friends, and neighbor's who are here would vote overwhelmingly conservative with a few who would go the other way. But that is beside the point. Our domestic tranquility and safety are no longer paramount to the politicians on the American Left. What is more important to them is making Bush look bad as much as possible and causing all of us-legal and not-to be in far more danger than we should be. And I for one resent being held hostage by the likes of Kennedy and his ilk just so that they can score points with the loonies on the left.
I will vote in the next elections as I always do, but I will not be voting for those who killed this very important bill. For like Benjamin Franklin, I firmly believe that if you sacrifice freedom for security, you deserve neither.
