notes: While the article excerpt, below,
speaks for itself, the fact remains that
successful immigration reform requires (1) trust that Obama and the Democrats
will follow the law as passed, (2) begin the process of passage with a
demonstrable respect for GOP opinion on the issue (since the GOP represents
more than half the nation, on this
issue), and (3), effective border security be an effective and provable process, as a trigger for the implementation of the remainder of the law. The Democrats pulled a “bait and switch”
on this last issue, back in the Reagan
days, a mistake of trust Reagan regretted to his death.
I cannot
over-emphasize the importance of “trust” in all this. I personally do not believe that a party (the
Socialist/Progressive Democrats) that has as its primary legislative tool, the notion that the ends justify the
means, should be trusted at any
level. It is clear, after years of product, that the Democrat Party will say and do
anything to get a bill passed into law,
only to apply that law in whatever manner they deem appropriate. While “all politicians lie,” only the Progressive Socialist reformers
embrace the rule, “the end result always
justifies the means used to effect that result,” as a matter of course. In
the book, Rules for Radicals, Saul Alinsky dedicated the entire first
chapter (after his “introduction”) to a rationalization of “ends and means.”
Understand that the Marxist reformation rule of “ends by any means” allows a political party
to promise “you can keep your doctor,
your insurance, your hospital.”
It allows that party to promise lower rates and universal coverage . . . . . . when NONE of the above was ever
true, in their minds. Knowing that they had to say such things to
get the bill through congress, simply
means that they cannot be trusted at all.
The Obama Progressives are as corrupt a political collective, as we have ever witnessed in our 236 year history as a nation.
If
Boehner is true to his words, we have
nothing to fear. But if he embraces “ends
and means” to any degree, then honest governance
has been abandoned and change is demanded,
even to the point of civil unrest.
Like “they” love to say, over and
over and over and over, “No
justice, no peace.”
from The Hill: Speaker
John Boehner (R-Ohio) has a pretty good idea of what immigration reform in the
House is going to look like. He just doesn’t know when it’s going to happen.
Addressing
the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on Monday in San Antonio, Boehner said he
wanted to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws “in chunks” over a period of a
week or two to a month. The process would likely begin with border security
measures, and it would address the crucial question of citizenship for illegal
immigrants in a way that he said would “pass the straight-face test” for people
who have already gone through the arduous process legally.
But none
of that will happen, Boehner reiterated, until President Obama builds back
trust with Republicans in Congress.
And in
that respect, little has changed in the months since the Speaker released a set
of policy principles to his conference only to have his members resist his push
to move forward with actual immigration legislation.
“We’re at
a point where my colleagues don’t trust that the president will implement the
law the way we would see it passed,” Boehner said Monday. “So I’ve put the ball
back in the president’s court. He’s going to do something to demonstrate some
level of trustworthiness.”
He
suggested Obama had missed an opportunity to do that when he did not respond to
a letter from Republican leaders outlining areas where they wanted to work
together – a set of ideas that included worker training and education but not
immigration.
