Wave of immigration has transformed nation

On Oct. 31, 2008, Barack Obama said, “we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

The scandal of ignoring border enforcement, refusing to enforce immigration laws, using executive orders to circumvent the legislative process and signaling an amnesty for illegal immigrants who can arrive here is fundamentally transforming our republic. Illegal immigrants annually cost taxpayers $100 billion and the recent invasion of illegal children increases costs.

Obama is quickly dispersing these unknown, often ill children throughout our country. (Although since Obama takes years to ponder the Keystone XL pipeline with no decision – until after the 2014 election – at least he is capable of quick action.) Soon “family” will be found for these unaccompanied minors.

Suddenly we’ll have scores more of uneducated, illiterate, unskilled people lining up for welfare state benefits (also known as undocumented Democrats-in-waiting).

Obama deserves a “Mission Accomplished” banner photo-op. He has fundamentally transformed America.
