Amnesty 2007
Damn the Law, Full Speed Ahead

America is a nation of laws no more. The transition to this sad state began in earnest when the Warren Court usurped legislative power from Federal and state lawmakers, effectively shredding the Constitution, relegating it to historical obscurity, limiting its influence to those times when it is fortuitously synchronized to the personal preferences of the current residents of the Supreme Court. It's been all downhill since then.

"I hope we don't take a thousand page bill written in secret and try to ram it through the Senate in a few days. This is a very important issue for America and we need time to debate it."

"But the little we do know about the bill is troubling. According to reports, the bill contains a new 'Z Visa' that allows those who entered our country illegally to stay here permanently without ever returning home. This rewards people who broke the law with permanent legal status, and puts them ahead of millions of law-abiding immigrants waiting to come to America. I don't care how you try to spin it, this is amnesty."
...U.S. Senator DeMint

"Law abiding immigrants" is of course a euphemism for the "suckers" who were stupid enough to come here legally.

Rush Limbaugh suggested yesterday that this law will sink the Republicans. Why give money to a political party whose candidates "cave" the instant they enter the Belt-Way?

But illegal immigration will stop... When the first nuke takes out a few hundred thousand Americans... Or when this country is as poor as the rest of the world. It will stop then.

But not until then.

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower,
We come on the ship that sailed the moon.
We come in the age's most uncertain hour
and sing an American tune.
But it's all right, it's all right...
You can't be forever blessed.
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day,
And I'm trying to get some rest.
That's all I'm trying to get some rest.

Paul Simon
