Keeping the Yankees out
The claim by House Republican leadership that the nation’s “founding principles” can be used to justify offering amnesty to the children of illegal aliens has no support, contend a number of constitutional scholars.
A Republican primary challenger to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has latched on to the issue.
Dave Brat points to the GOP’s released immigration principles, which state: “One of the great founding principles of our country was that children would not be punished for the mistakes of their parents.”
The line comes verbatim from a Cantor speech in February 2013.
Brat told WND it “dishonors the Founders to invoke the founding principles as a battering ram to fight for crony capitalists.”
He contends it was “never a constitutional principle that we ought to take care of any problem where parents made mistakes.”
“We expect these Orwellian language games on the Democratic side, not from a Republican,” he said.
Brat is a Randolph-Macon College (My school: Bourbon, REL IV & Hell Week) economics professor who has attracted grass-roots support in Cantor’s district.

Is Cantor experiencing "doobie revelations"?
ReplyDeleteMay be. :)
DeleteThis is not something we can pick and choose from, to make us feel good....
ReplyDeleteThey all have to be made to leave, whole families that are here illegally, it is not my fault their parents broke our laws and it is not my duty to care for them...Their parents cost us wages and jobs and that just piss puddles my Southern...
We cannot fix this otherwise, strengthen the laws that we have, impose such huge fines against anyone who hires out to an illegal border jumpers, in so much that they immediately are dissuaded from hiring illegals.
Force them to get out of this Nation and then they can stand in the back of the line, whilst the rest who come here to actually assimilate into our American culture are at the front of the line...
And I have no damn respect for anyone who is a hyphenated American!
Your an American or your not!
And I unblushingly let them know it to, I simply don't tolerate it!
We have today, an Illegal border jumper who was going to work illegally hired, who was caught up in rising waters and was rescued, his life preserved only to have a court allow him to sue his rescuers...How bloody insane is that!
He should had been immediately arrested, deported, and his employer severely fined, and or better yet, had his business license stripped from him...
Force them to get out of this Nation and then they can stand in the back of the line, whilst the rest who come here to actually assimilate into our American culture are at the front of the line...
DeleteOne of my pet peeves as it took us 12 years to have my wife's younger brother and sister legally come here while the Mexicans walk across the border. On top of that, they walk across and receive all kinds of beanies while I have to be responsible for my two in-laws for a total of 10 years.
