Pelosi's latest embarrassment: compares illegals to Founders
Is there no limit to this woman's chutzpah? In praise of the DREAM Act, allowing those who violated our immigration laws to attain citizenship, the San Francisco leftist invokes the Founders. Via RCP:
In coming here, these new comers, from that time a couple hundred years ago and to this day, by coming with that optimism and hope and commitment to a better future for the next generation, they made America more American. So tonight, we have an opportunity to identify with the aspirations of our founders," Pelosi said on the House floor prior to the vote.
People who violate our laws make America more American? The Founderrs believed in a borderless world? What is this woman smoking?
The words sound even worse when spoken by the Speaker in her odd cadence:
By passing the DREAM Act, House Democrats affirm that they live in a dream world. Rewarding those who broke our law with membership in the body politic mocks those immigrants who followed the rules and went through the agonizing immigration procedures, in many cases waiting years and years. The Dems claim that those being rewarded bear no fault, asd their parents brought them here as children. Then why reward the parents, who will qualify as care-givers, and once citizenship is attained by their children, will qualify for preference under the doctrine of family reunification.
The DREAM Act hangs out a sign to the world: come illegally here with children, and you can jump the line. Only fools follow the immigration law.
