Barack Obama promised fundamental transformation, and with the help of his own party, as well as a lengthy list of traitorous, sell-out vermin in the Republican Party, he’s having an easy time of it. The Corker-Hoeven amendment to be voted on Monday will not have been read by anyone as the vote is tallied, but it constitutes a re-write of the bill almost in its entirety. The details of the original bill and the amendment constitute more than merely awful legislation, to the extent all the provisions are known, and it is the intention of Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell along with a legion of co-conspirators in both parties to put this bill over on the American people before they can know what has hit them. If this bill passes in any form, it will have been the final legal nail in the coffin of our Republic. Swept aside will have been every possible obstacle to the overthrow of constitutional government in the United States of America, by virtually any interested foreign power. This is only possible because a large segment of the GOP has decided to be on the side they believe will win. It’s that simple: America will be ruined with Republican assistance.
There is a common temptation to think of the immigration reform bill as pertaining to people who have crept into our country from Mexico and points South. I would ask my fellow Americans to reconsider this assumption carefully, because there is no language in this law that limits the benefits of this law to only those hailing from Mexico. This law would pertain to Mohammed Atta, or other terrorist elements who overstayed visas. This law will effectively throw our nation wide-open to a world full of people not all of whom love us or will come here merely for economic opportunities. This bill will create a new class of residents who may lawfully remain in the United States despite having violated our laws. There will be no fear of deportation. There will be no further purpose for ICE agents, except as tax collectors. This is a statist pipe-dream come true.
Barack Obama is leading the overthrow of our form of government, our culture, and our economy while people wonder whether Nik Wallenda will survive his walk on a cable spanning the Grand Canyon. Worst of all, the party elected to stand in opposition to all of this is lending an assist, while far too many of the American people are oblivious to what is being done. For me, this is the most troubling aspect, because rather than zealously guarding their liberties and relative prosperity, a huge swath of America won’t know what will have been done until there is virtually no peaceable means remaining by which to reverse it.
I do not mean here to whine, because I have a small but loyal readership, and most who read these postings will appreciate them, but the fact that it is such a small sliver(relatively) of the overall population bothers me, not because they don’t read this site, but because so many don’t read anything of consequence to the future of our country. I am mortified when I consider that some times, my biggest-drawing posts on a given day are things I wrote weeks or months, and in a few cases more than a year before that only then find their way into a bit of attention from a wider audience. Short of stripping naked and running down the street ablaze(and nobody wants to see that,) I don’t know what more we conservatives can do to pierce the veil of indifference that seems to have settled over this country.
On Sunday, we learned that there would be a vote on the Corker-Hoeven amendment that will serve as a vehicle to substitute for the entire immigration bill. Byron York seemed to spend most of Sunday busily tweeting various provisions and commentary on this issue. We also learned that all of these supposed new-hire Border Patrol agents won’t even begin until 2017. By then, how much will it matter? We learned on Friday that the Corker-Hoeven amendment will permit those who overstay their visas to stay on a path to citizenship. Why bother with visas? I suppose I should blend with the herd and figure out who Paula Deen is, but it seems fairly trivial alongside the overthrow of our constitutional republic.
Monday is the day on which we need to raise unholy Hell over this immigration bill. I have my call list, and I’m starting early. The sun will scarcely be up by the time I begin calling, and this is important enough that I intend to set aside several hours for this task. These politicians don’t view our lives as important, because in their view, we’re simply cogs in a machine from which they profit tremendously. It’s time to get a little fury in our voices and let them know that they’re not so special that we can’t send them home. Sure, they’re reorganizing this country into a statist, third-world slave-pit, but nowhere is it written that we must accept it, or even go along quietly. It’s time to make some noise, for the love of all you cherish. They may overthrow us yet, but we mustn’t make it easy for them. Our only choice is to fight or to fold, and for all I hold dear, I will fight.
