It’s not about Legal Immigration, It’s about ILLEGAL Immigration, Got it?
by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
It is sad to learn that a once popular figure in American culture, General Colin Powell is so far out of touch with reality. In a recent interview on NBC Powell accused Obama of having lost his connection with the people. Unfortunately, General Powell is swimming in same disconnected politics.
The Former Secretary and Army General, both of which are both great and important accomplishments, has shown Americans that he no more comprehends the immigration issue than do Obama and his media shills. In an NBC interview Powell, when speaking of the Republican Party stated, “They’ve got to take a hard look at some of the positions they’ve been taking.” “We can’t be anti-immigration, for example. Because immigrants are fueling this country. Without immigrants [the U.S.] would be like Europe or Japan, with an aging population and no young people coming in to take care of it. We have to educate our immigrants.”
Great observation, but the debate Mr. Secretary, is not about immigration, it is about ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! The tragedy about Mr. Powell is that he, like the propaganda arm of the socialist/democrat party is out of touch with mainstream Americans; AND WE’VE HAD IT! For my part, the whiners who “demand” the right to hire and pay illegal immigrants slave wages; who cry that Americans will not do the work that illegals are hired to do (pay a fair wage and Americans will do it. Those who hire illegals render the domestic version of sending jobs overseas); and who foster the illegal invasion across our southern borders should be removed from any public office of responsibility and the latter tried for failure to uphold the Constitution.
Noting the “Constitution,” evidently this Executive Branch of the U.S. government has a problem reading it. First, no one in the Administration bothered to read Arizona SB1070, that State’s illegal immigration control law, then as a follow-up didn’t bother to read the Constitution before taking the State of Arizona to court. But what’s new? Obama only promised to defend it to the best of his ability, which is turning out to be, not at all. In a recent article, a Canadian writer pointed out that there was a problem with the law suit, specifically Article III, Clause 2 which states,

“In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be a Party, the Supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all other Cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.”

The pertinent portion is contained in the first sentence. It seems that Arizona has wasted its time with the District Court and would be well advised to ignore the Ninth Circuit, demanding that if Obama’s Department of Justice wants court action, they should plan a meeting at the Supreme Court.
Powell calls Obama a “Transformative figure?” He’s right! Obama is turning out to be what he has always been and what we have been stating since before the election. He is an America hating, socialist/communist who if he could do it instantly would transform the U.S. into a third world dictatorship!
