LOSING OUR SOVEREIGNTY

Derek Hunter


Look, murders happen. We can’t stop them,
and we spend a lot of resources trying to
prevent them and punish those who commit
them. This money would be better spent on
other things, such as education, than trying to
stop what is going to happen anyway. Think
of the children who can be educated, or fed,
by the money we’re wasting trying to stop
what we can’t stop.
In addition to an inability to stop future
murders, we have to remove the stigma
unfairly attached to those who’ve done what
we’ve failed to stop in the past. The term
“murderer” is a term of shame and of
judgment. Who are we to judge those who
were simply seeking a better world for
themselves and their families?
To call someone a “murderer” dehumanizes
them and makes it easier to treat them
differently, to deny them their freedom and
the right to vote. They aren’t “murderers,”
they’re un-non-killing-Americans.
Were it not for the luck of the circumstances
of our births, our upbringings and the choices
we made, any one of us could be murderers,
too. And, when you think of the history of the
United States, we’re a nation of murderers, so
really, who are we to judge?
Prison gates should be opened, and un-non-
killing-Americans who pay a fine and
promise not to kill again ought to be
welcomed into society. Think of the money
we’d save on housing and health care alone.
Plus, un-non-killing-Americans would add to
the economy, come out from the prisons and
pay taxes – benefitting everyone.
It’s win-win, and the Chamber of Commerce
supports it, so there you go…
That is pretty much the argument for no
longer using the accurate “illegal alien” term
for the “undocumented” tripe – as if this all
was a matter of some form not being filled
out properly. This, and tales of families being
reunited and whatnot are pretty much the
extent of arguments put forth by amnesty
activists on both sides of the aisle. All of these
arguments are emotional, and none of them
should matter.
The Obama administration, which just a few
years ago took Arizona to court to stop it
from committing the sin of actually trying to
enforce the nation’s immigration laws, claims
to be powerless to stop an unfettered influx
of illegals flooding across the Mexican
border. Of course, the administration saying
it can’t stop the flood is like someone who’s
never tried asparagus refusing to eat it –
they’ve never tried it and never had any
intention of trying it, but their mind is made
up anyway.
The president has flung open the southern
border to the point that, for all intents and
purposes, it does not exist. Tens of thousands,
soon to be hundreds of thousands, of illegal
aliens are streaming over the border like the
zombies in World War Z poured over walls of
Jerusalem.
Democrats, and many Republicans, welcome
this horde with open arms, food, shelter,
health care, lawyers, and, eventually, the
hope of citizenship. American sovereignty is
an afterthought, if thought of at all.
So brazen have amnesty advocates become
that the White House welcomed 10 illegal
aliens to be honored as “ Champions of
Change” this week. But the White House is
not foolish. The recipients weren’t chosen at
random, they were chosen carefully.
All of the presidential honorees have attended
or are attending college and are working in
professional settings. This is to give the false
impression that the people streaming across
the border are just a few credits shy of a
Ph.D. or have backpacks full of venture
capital ready to start businesses. That’s not
the case.
The reality is the people currently stretching
shelters and military bases to capacity are
uneducated, non-English speaking children
and adults who add nothing but headcount to
the economy. Many are sick, and none bring
anything of value to the country, at least
now.
This nation has 10 million unemployed
citizens; it’s really our only growth industry
in the Obama economy. Adding 11 million to
30 million more, either as guest workers or
citizens, won’t magically create enough jobs
for them all. So why tear down the border?
Votes, obviously.
Uneducated, non-English-speaking masses
will be overwhelmingly dependent on
government, so they’ll vote for Democrats.
That large of an influx of low-skilled workers
will keep wages artificially low, which is what
the Chamber of Commerce wants and is why
so many Republicans support it. They know
it’s not good for the country. But it’s good for
them, so to hell with the country.
We’re told they can’t all be deported because
there are too many of them. But the people
telling us this are the same people who sit on
their hands as thousands more pour into the
country every day. They promise to secure
the border after we grant amnesty to those
here already, which is like a junkie promising
to enter rehab after just one more fix. To hell
with them.
We can’t afford to be the world’s life raft,
especially while our economy is leaking air.
Call me heartless, call me mean, I don’t give a
damn – we need to seal the border and
enforce current law, which includes
deporting illegal aliens who come into contact
with law enforcement. Prove to me you’re
willing to enforce current law and we can
talk about new laws. Don’t, and may you all
suffer the same fate as Eric Cantor.
