Robin's Commentary

Normally I don't post comments on this blog made on other blogs, however I thought I would share a response to a post on "Daniel's political musings"

Obama: laws don't matter
Obama to Push Immigration Bill Despite the Risks
While acknowledging that the recession makes the political battle more difficult, President Obama plans to begin addressing the country’s immigration system this year, including looking for a path for illegal immigrants to become legal, a senior administration official said on Wednesday.

He said [during the campaign[ that comprehensive immigration legislation, including a plan to make legal status possible for an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants, would be a priority in his first year in office. Latino voters turned out strongly for Mr. Obama in the election.

Daniels response:
The president wants to give mass pardons to people who:
1. broke our immigration laws
2. broke our labor laws
3. broke our tax laws
4. broke our perjury laws
5. and did I mention that by "broke" I mean "are continuing to break up until the day they get this mass pardon."

There were some really good comments on Daniel's blog and I wanted to share my response..

stop the suffering. by that I will use an example of a friend of mine whose daughter has a teenage friend that was brought here when she was very young by her parents from Mexico.

Both parents are illegal and of course that makes her illegal.

she is very frightened of being deported to a country that she does not know and very worried about her future because of her legal status.

By allowing illegals to come here and not enforcing the laws is the reason that children like her are forced to suffer the consequences of their parents irresponsibility.

The argument about "breaking up the family's" by deporting a family member would not even be an issue if we enforce the laws already on the books, instead, we look the other way for cheap labor and the PC crowd.

In addition to Daniels point, we are teaching our children that breaking the law is okay if enough people don't follow the laws.

Like Kaelri's example about seat belts. I use them, don't like them. a lot of people don't like them, so why should we use them.

It's the LAW!

So!

Big deal!

Millions of people cross our boarder and now there are too many to enforce the law.

so using that logic, lets all just stop using seatbelts.

in fact, lets fire our law makers.

if were not going to follow and enforce the laws, then why would we need to pay people to make laws.

then in that case, look at all the money we can save by not having a court and jail system.

don't need them. laws don't mean anything.

and so on, and so on...
