Obama immigration move is insulting

Obama is going around Congress to grant blanket amnesty to illegal aliens. Not only is this an insult to legal immigrants, as well as to those who applied through legal channels and are still waiting, but it is also a slap in the face to American citizens.

Citizens are expected to obey the law or face legal consequences and penalties. Citizens don’t have the option of thumbing their noses at laws they don’t like. Why should we make an exception for illegal aliens? No one has ever addressed that particular question.

As for “Dreamers,” it is not incumbent upon the U.S. government to make it OK that their parents violated our laws. The responsibility for those acts should rest on the lawbreakers themselves — the parents. Children of American citizens who have committed crimes do not qualify for blanket special considerations with respect to college admissions. Again, why should an exception be made for the children of illegals, who are themselves here illegally? Why should preference be given to non-citizens over citizens?

I can see no possible justification for any elected official to support any action that circumvents existing American laws.

Obama carefully deferred action on illegal immigration until after the election. He can’t run again. He won’t be held responsible at the polls in the next election. Those who support the illegal action he is taking, will be.
