Patrick J. Buchanan Makes the Case for Armed Revolt... in
so many words... reading between the lines...
* * *
* * *
Asserting a legal and constitutional authority he himself
said he did not have, President Obama is going rogue, issuing an executive
amnesty to 4 to 5 million illegal aliens.
* AND HE DIDN'T SAY IT JUST ONCE...
* AND HE DIDN'T SAY IT AS AN OFF-HAND REMARK...
* FOLKS... PLEASE... FOLLOW THIS LINK...
He will order the U.S. government not to enforce the law
against these 5 million and declare that they are to be exempt from deportation
and granted green cards.
* THE PRESIDENT (NEITHER THIS PRESIDENT NOR PRESIDENTS
BEFORE HIM) DOES NOT HAVE NATURALIZATION AUTHORITY. ONLY CONGRESS DOES. ONLY
CONGRESS CAN GRANT LEGAL STATUS. ONLY CONGRESS CAN EXEMPT LAWFUL DEPORTATIONS -
NAMELY, BY CHANGING EXISTING DEPORTATION LAW. THE ONLY POWER GRANTED THE
PRESIDENT BY THE CONSTITUTION IS THE PARDON POWER. BUT EVEN IF PRESIDENT OBAMA
WERE TO PARDON EACH AND EVERY ILLEGAL
ALIEN AND RELIEVE THEM FROM THE BURDEN OF FACING CRIMINAL LEGAL ACTION, THIS WOULD
NOT GRANT THEM LEGAL STATUS. (THE PARDON WOULD BE FOR PAST ILLEGAL STATUS...
NOT PRESENT AND NOT FUTURE ILLEGAL "TRESPASS" HERE WITHIN OUR BORDERS.)
Where did Obama get his 4-5 million figure, not 2-4
million, or 5-7 million? Nowhere in law, but plucked out of his own mind, as to
what he can get away with. Barack Obama just felt it was about right.
(Thus does our constitutional law professor-president “faithfully
execute” the laws of the United States he has twice swore to uphold?)
Our rogue president has crossed an historic line, and so
has the Republic. Future presidents will cite the “Obama precedent” when they
declare they will henceforth not enforce this or that law, because of a prior
commitment to some noisy constituency.
We have just taken a monumental step away from Republicanism
toward Caesarism - for this is rule by diktat, the rejection of which sparked
the American Revolution.
The political, psychological and moral effects of Obama’s
action will be dramatic. Sheriffs, border patrol and immigration authorities
who have put their lives on the line to secure our broken borders have been
made to look like fools. Resentment and cynicism over Obama’s action will be
deeply corrosive to all law enforcement.
* ABSOLUTELY...
Businessmen who obeyed the law and refused to hire
illegals, hiring Americans and legal immigrants instead, and following U.S. and
state law on taxes, wages and withholding, also look like fools today.
* AT THE VERY LEAST THEY'LL FEEL ABUSED...
Obama’s action makes winners of the scofflaws and
hustlers.
* YES IT DOES.
Bosses who hired illegals off the books will also receive
de facto amnesty. La Raza is celebrating. But, make no mistake, a corrupt
corporate crowd is also publicly relieved and privately elated.
Immigrants who waited in line for years to come to
America, and those waiting still, have egg on their faces. Why, they are saying
to themselves, were we so stupid as to obey U.S. laws when it is the
border-jumpers who are now on the way to residency and citizenship?
(*SIGH*)
When the world hears of the Obama amnesty, millions more
from Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East will be coming. And if
they cannot get in legally, they will walk in, or fly in, and overstay their
visas. Why not? It works.
(*PURSED LIPS*)
That this action will be as much a part of Obama’s legacy
as ObamaCare is certain. The unanswered question is how the Obama amnesty will
be remembered by history. His aides think that it will be seen as a second
Emancipation Proclamation. Perhaps. But with this amnesty Obama takes custody
of and responsibility for the entire illegal population. He is the patron saint
of illegal aliens. And for what they do, he will be held accountable, as was
Jimmy Carter for the Marielitos Castro sent and Carter welcomed.
If the amnestied illegals contribute to the drug trade
and violent crime, that will be Obama’s legacy to his country.
If they turn up disproportionately on the welfare rolls,
exploding state and federal deficits, that will be Obama’s legacy.
If this amnesty is followed by a new invasion across the
border America cannot control, that, too, will be Obama’s "gift" to
his countrymen.
One wonders, will poor and working class blacks and
whites, Hispanics and Asians, welcome this unleashed competition from the
amnestied illegals for jobs where the wages never seem to rise?
(*SILENCE*)
In the four decades before JFK the nation had a pause in
legal immigration. During that pause the Germans, Irish, Italians, Jews, Poles,
Greeks and Slav immigrants who had come in from 1890-1920 - and their children
and grandchildren - were fully assimilated. They had become not only U.S.
citizens, but also identifiably American.
The Melting Pot had worked.
We had become one nation and one people, almost all
speaking the same language, and steeped in the same history, heroes, culture,
literature and faiths.
* YEP. THAT'S THE COUNTRY I GREW UP IN.
Today, in 2014, after an influx of perhaps 50 million in
50 years, legal and illegal, no longer from Northwest Europe (or Europe at all)
but Latin America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, of every race, color, creed,
culture and language, we seem less a nation than some mammoth Mall of America.
An economy, but not a country.
* AND SURPRISE, SURPRISE... WE'RE NOT DOING WELL AS
EITHER!
Running in 2008, Obama said he intended to become a
“transformational president.” With this decision, he succeeds.
* OUT NATION'S PRESIDENT IS LEADING AN INTERNAL COUP
AGAINST THE GREATER GOVERNMENT... AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION... AGAINST THE RULE
OF LAW... AND THE AMERICAN SHEEPLE SHRUG.
This Chief Executive has accelerated and ensured the
remaking of America. Now when the wives and children of the illegals arrive,
and their extended families apply for and receive visas... and bring their
wives and children... we will become the Third World country of Obama’s dream,
no more a Western nation.
