It has been quite a week in the US Senate, indeed, ending with amnesty for all illegal aliens involved in identity theft, with cocktails all around.
Fresh from Harry Reid's blistering rebuke, where he called us all, every one of us, racists, for daring to ask people working in our fair land to dare address us in English, we then endured his own breathless and pitiable monologue on why.
We learned that a valued staff member of his, an american citizen of course, was aided by a kindly nurse who could speak Spanish in his hour of extreme medical unction. Then we found, to our eternal edification, that his son, learned in the colorful idiomatic ins and outs of Spanish, was able to chivvy hotel room keys from a wary hotel maid so the duo could enter their rooms for a chat, leaving her life of impoverished drudgery changed forever as a result of this brief uplifting interchange in her foreign tongue.
and for all of this we are all somehow at fault and should be ashamed of ourselves for our callous behavior.
Not long ago a cocksure Harry Reid cried no deal to an immigrant bill that failed to include alien felons, previously convicted for the possession of sawed-off shotguns and burglary. But Harry, always playing to the law enforcement crowd he professes to support in Nevada, sternly drew the line at rape artists and murderers. They would not be awarded instant citizenship; they would not be allowed to stand in line for a wave of the magic wand absolving them of all past misbehavior. Harry, you see, is brutally tough on crime.
as storied members of the greatest deliberative house in the oldest republic on the planet, US Senators must listen to many lines of communications. But of late, those from their constituents have been completely and totally closed to them as they consider what massive new amounts of free programs, giveaways, hand outs, and amnesties they can possibly award the millions of illegal aliens swarming across the virtually unguarded borders to the south.
Yes, the US Senate is as insulated to the cries of their of their voting public as the Tsars of Imperial Russia were to the Duma on the eve of World War I — perhaps more so, given the numerous ways now available to get messages to our dear leaders in a "free" society. Increasingly free, it seems, if you're an unskilled illegal immigrant from the Mexico.
For today, in order to remain so deaf, our senators must routinely stuff their ears with wax, take the phones off the hook, cover the windows with sound deadening drapes, dump e-mails as soon as they pop up on the screens, shred letters as soon as the mail man throws them in the slot and erase their own memories every night before bed. Yet the lilting sounds of the oh, so demanding mariachi bands reach them ever so clearly.
How else can one explain the fact that they have just voted to allow illegal aliens to collect social security benefits, even when that collection is based on identity theft — the theft of your, mine and our identities — all federal felonies. Is this not, perhaps, a perquisite too far?
On one hand the US Secret Service pursues scofflaws who will pick my trash, grab my info from a phish on the internet, clip a crib from a waste can in a restaurant, or from dumpster diving in an alley. Yet these wise and all seeing solons, garbed in varicolored silk scarves as they peer into crystal balls, in the United States Senate have voted to allow wandering criminals to collect our money, even though it's been garnered from previous criminal activities.
I am utterly astounded by this open public pandering to lawlessness, especially when somewhere between 70 and 80% of all americans, and almost 60% of legal Hispanic citizenry are totally against this complete fraud of a sham of a total insult to our credulity. It literally boggles the mind, turns the stomach, and casts a sickly light on the workings of this once august body, which seems destined for the ash heap of history.
It appears that the US Senate, in their serried wisdom, has fallen to the level of the UN, whose giddy rapporteurs solemnly equate these roving bands of itinerant identity lifting ne'er-do-wells as "irregular migrants." This natty term appears as music, albeit allegro non tropo, to the unstoppered ears of the Zelig-like John McCain and the law and order prone Mr. Reid, two of the over burdened migrants foremost supporters.
With the granting of social security benefits for illegal aliens, while fully recognizing the past criminal activities committed by these scurrilous mendicants, by the United States Senate, america has become a banana republic at long last, completing an up and down 200 year spiral into oblivion with a sudden burst at the finish — a final immigration fahrtlich.
Our laws are for sale; they can be overlooked on vast scales for some sort of political expediency, and then finally erased in an instant for a huge criminal cross-section, while the legal citizens, the taxpayers, who must in the end pay for this dreadful damage, must still adhere to the very laws which have been ground into the dust for the sake of a 2,000 mile bitter border joke.
Yes, we'll put up with it for awhile, but there will come a breaking point, when america will toss out the bounders at the ballot box. The first echoes of this new revolution may now be heard in Pennsylvania where conservatives are mopping dirty floors with feckless moderates of Harry Reid's firm "law and order" stripe.
I weep for the country of my forefathers, just as I am deeply ashamed of the senators who allowed themselves to be blinded to the nation, its history, our Constitution and the people of america in the commission of this horrible, and at the same time, piteous, deed.
and with this wholesale act of criminal amnesty now behind us, what does the future hold for america and its voters?
Only November of 2006, will tell.
