Whatever Happened To The Rule Of Law? I Miss That Guy….

 

Once again it seems that a basic principle of this country is being sacrificed because of the mere convenience of the moment. It is obvious that here in the United States we have a massive illegal immigration problem. I especially have a problem with the new bill though that is coming through Congress, in that it grants amnesty to the millions of illegal immigrants that are living here in this country. Now I know that it doesn’t specifically say amnesty but no matter what you call it a rose is still a rose. Now I have NO problem with immigrants. This country was founded on immigration and I love how people just want to come to the United States because of the limitless opportunity that exists here, and for those of you who just assume that I am an ignorant, Mexican hating, conservative, please just stop. I am part Hispanic and my grandfather was an illegal immigrant. I truly sympathize with those people who want to come to this great nation and make a better life for themselves and that speaks to the problem in our current immigration system if we cannot find a better system to let more people come here to make a better a life for themselves, but just giving all of the people in this country who are here illegally a, for all intensive purposes, visa that will never expire is a slap in the face to all of those who came here legally. But to me the more important issue is the state of our nation’s borders. They are in complete disarray and the crime by the borders is very high. If there is going to be any approach to this issue it will have to be in parts. The number one priority of this country should be to secure its borders. A country cannot exist if it cannot define itself as a nation with its own borders and enforce them to keep all threats out. Once the borders are secured, and once we see progress in that area than we can start to focus on dealing with those peoples who are in this country illegally. I know illegal immigrants from all corners of the globe, not just Mexico. I pray that Congress does not pass this bill that coming through its different chambers, because I know President Bush will not veto it. He is asking the members of Congress to stand up to their districts and pass it. I am shocked by his audacity as the members of Congress are elected to REPRESENT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. If the people in their district say that they don’t want it passed than DON’T pass it. If your representative does vote for it than don’t re-elect him, its that simple. I am no racist and I am definitely trying to split families apart but I just want some accountability for the members of Congress who seem to think that they can do what they want whether the people want it or not, and the disgusting claims of the president that those of us who oppose it are trying to create fear in the people is ridiculous. The problem that the president has is that he doesn’t want the people to figure out that he is pandering to the business’ in this country that want the cheaper labor. I don’t know what else to say, I am just so angry that there is such inaction, and finger pointing, and that the “leaders” of this country who we voted in to office, will not even uphold one of the most important elements of our founding, the Rule of Law.

The Man of the Hour!

 

Its finally here! The moment we at The Southpaw have been waiting for! There was a glimmer of hope for us in this already murky field of candidates in that a senior aid and adviser to Sen. Fred Thompson, the former US senator from Tennessee and actor, will most likely declare his intent to run for the position of the presidency of the United States over the Fourth of July weekend. I have kept tabs on Sen. Thompson ever since I heard that he was considering running for the presidency because of the lack of “star-power” in the current field of Republican candidates. He has kept it in the dark just hinting here and there about whether he would for sure be running but it seems all but official now. Sen. Thompson is what I see as a truly conservative candidate who has the “celebrity” to draw on different elements of the voter base to propel him in to office. I don’t really have much more to say, our videos that we have posted are pretty self-evident of his standings on a number of issues and I see him as the most fitting candidate for the job, with Mike Huckabee hopefully taking over in a little over 8 years. Thanks for reading the Southpaw, leave us your thoughts, and as always please tell your friends about us.
