My wonderful wife was not born here in the United States. Yes, that?s correct ? TheWriteAmerica is married to an immigrant. She came here at the age of 10 months as the daughter of two legal immigrants. Both of her parents arrived here from Brazil after filing the proper paperwork and receiving the various clearances and documents. They became full-fledged America citizens, put down roots, and melted into the pot of American diversity. And in this pioneering, law-abiding family?s wake, three other families related to them by blood and marriage legally immigrated to our shores.
All told, my in-laws can trace their heritage to Brazil, Greece, Guatemala, Germany ? and by marriage to other US citizens to Poland, Russia, and Ireland. Each one of those people (or their ancestors) immigrated here legally. And each of them built a thriving business here, all on their own, without government loans, handouts, or help. All of them pay their taxes, vote, and contribute to the success of their communities.
Mine is truly a family that has lived the American dream.
Sadly, however, President Barack Obama is determined to destroy the American dream precisely by perverting the rule of law that my family dutifully followed.
You see, quite frankly, President Obama loves illegal immigrants. Not because he respects their wily ways, unlawful acts, their determination to flaunt our immigration procedures, or their ability to block the driveways of the local 7-11. No, Obama loves them because he has plans turn them into Democrat voters by making them beholden to him. They broke the law getting here, and Obama is hell-bent on breaking the law ? and the US Constitution ? to keep them here.
So far, his steps have included ordering the Department of Justice to stop following deportation procedures. He has also waged war against any state that dares to enforce US Immigration Law. He even has his jackboots at the EPA declaring certain areas used by border jumpers as ?protected lands? and then ordered the Border Patrol to remain off of these lands ? giving a nice corridor for illegal aliens to flow across our Southern Border.
Obama has even ordered the release of illegal aliens who have been caught by US officials ? 47,000 in the past three years. Sadly, 16% of these catch & release prize winners have gone on to commit new crimes while enjoying their unearned liberty. Those statistics include 19 murders, 3 attempted murders, 142 sex crimes, and a so far uncalculated amount of robberies, trespassings, and other assorted crimes ? not to mention the fact that they are all still in the country illegally!
Ironically, the Obama Administration did order one person connected to illegal immigration to be punished ? a US ICE agent who had the audacity to arrest an illegal immigrant! No wonder morale for immigration law enforcement agents is ?in the toilet!?
Meanwhile, illegal aliens have much to celebrate thanks to the Obama Administration. There?s Obama?s impending end-run around Congress and the Constitution on the DREAM Act (not an American?s dream, but a law-breaker?s dream). And the aforementioned catch & release policy. And Obama?s war on states that want to enforce immigration laws.
All of this is part of Obama?s plan to flood the voter roles with new citizens grateful to him and the Democrats just in time for the November election. No matter that this will drown unemployment offices and swell the current 8.3% unemployment rate to more dizzying heights. Or that it will expand the roles of those on the healthcare dole via ObamaCare. Or that it will feast on the all ready out of control Food Stamp program. After all, the American taxpayer will foot the bill.
Which means that you, and me, and all of the legal immigrants here in America who abide by the law, follow the rules, and contribute to the success of our nation will find less money in our pockets, less access to more overburdened services, and less opportunity to grow a successful and thriving economy. We will be forced to take care of lawbreakers who care as little for America as our own President does.
And we?ll still have trouble getting into 7-11?s driveway.
