Recently at a town hall meeting, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz) was asked about a one-on-one meeting that he had with President Obama regarding illegal immigration. Sen. Kyl’s response seems to have ruffled some feathers in and around the White House……Here’s is the Senator’s version of what was said…."The president said the problem is if we secure the border, then you all won't have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform…In other words, they're holding it hostage". Let me insert here that “comprehensive immigration reform”….is Democrat for amnesty…He went on to say that the President made it clear that “They won't secure the border unless and until is it combined with comprehensive immigration reform." Of course the White House has denied that Obama ever said that, and why shouldn’t we believe them, since they have been so honest and transparent thus far into the president's reign.
Let me see if I understand this……Obama was basically saying “I know that there is a problem with illegals spilling across the U.S. border….and in some cases destroying the lives of many U.S. citizens…..BUT…I’m not going to do anything about it until the Republicans play MY game…MY way”. Or in other words…”Screw the citizens of the United States….my agenda of amnesty for illegal immigrants is far more important than you…or your rights”. Does that sound about right as to the proper interpretation? If you said “yes”…then you obviously are very intelligent….If you said “no”…then I would say that it is very likely that if Obama walked up to you and hit you in the head with a hammer…..you would blink and say “why did George Bush just hit me with a hammer?”
As I was thinking about the illegal immigration crisis….my tiny little mind wondered over to another crisis….and that is the one we are seeing in the Gulf of Mexico. While I’m not a tree-hugging nut-case…(ok….I’m not a tree-hugger…the nut-case part is still up for debate)….I HAVE spent my entire life on the Gulf Coast of Florida. I grew up fishing with my Dad, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico….and when I see what is happening…it makes me sick. With that said….I see a LOT of similarities (or simularities if you are from Indiana) between the illegal immigration problem along our border....and the oil problem in the Gulf. I know that I will probably offend some people here…..so let me say up front….Im NOT going to apologize. Here’s the way I see it……………….
You can spend gazillions of dollars on cleaning up the beaches of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida (and I am pro-clean-up if anyone asks)……but until you stop the oil from gushing out of the broken well….isn’t it kind of pointless? It seems to me that our number one priority….and our main focus should be to stop the steady flow of oil…..and THEN focus on what to do with all the oil that is already there. Or maybe President Obama could tell Senator Kyl and the other Republicans that if they will support a law that says that the oil that has already spilled into the Gulf isn’t harmful (basically amnesty for the oil)…..THEN he and the Democrats would do something about the tens of thousand of gallons of oil that are spilling into the Gulf every day.
Before someone blows an o-ring……let me clarify that I’m not saying that the administration blew up the oil well…..or that they are intentionally stalling on getting the oil leak stopped….just to get their way. (After all….everyone knows that George W. Bush blew up that oil rig) BUT….In the words of Obama’s Chief of Staff Rham Emanuel "Never let a serious crisis go to waste….What I mean by that is it's an opportunity to do things you couldn't do before."
What I am saying, is this….we are taking the 2 most serious crises in the nation….and politicizing the dog crap out of them. Obama and the Democrats are saying.....Let’s use the crisis of illegals flooding across our borders in order to get amnesty for the 12 -15 million illegals who are already here…..and lets use the crisis of oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico to get cap and trade passed…..BOTH of which will undoubtedly bring harm to the tax-paying citizens of the United States. Of course…..all the while, the solution to both problems is the same……Stop the flow….then clean up the mess. Then Again….That’s Just Me
