OPINION:
We don’t have a broken immigration system that needs to be reformed. We have an apathetic electorate and a corrupt ruling class made up of both Democrats and Republicans. This ruling class has for decades ignored the rule of law and the voice of the people, who have demanded a secure border.
Democrats want unfettered illegal immigration because the fact is these are undocumented future Democratic voters. Republicans and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, pandering to big business, count on the campaign contributions big-business donors provide them in return for cheap labor. President Obama’s pending executive order that would supposedly give amnesty to 5 million illegals should be a watershed moment for the citizens to rebel. Sadly, the sheeplike citizens will just nod and keep paying the taxes that are stolen from them to redistribute to folks who broke our laws in coming here.
Our Founders must surely be turning over in their graves. We deserve exactly the government we have. Our future is dismal: a world where plantation America is just another third-rate, unexceptional country in a sea of corrupt countries run by corrupt politicians at the behest of puppet-master businessmen.
