Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Al.) issues a response to a Wall Street Journal report that confirms that “the President is planning to issue a massive unilateral amnesty after the election” that will “likely be broader in scope than anyone has imagined.”
“Broader in scope than anyone has imagined”? Who are these dim souls among our politicians and media who didn’t see this coming? Democrats and progressives have known well, even as they avoided the topic of amnesty like an Ebola-laced cupcake on the campaign trail, that Obama’s proposed post-election amnesty initiative will likely be a sweeping and decisive pardon to basically everyone who has broken our laws by entering this country illegally. His administration has shown no signs that it would even make exceptions for illegal aliens with serious criminal histories (murderers and rapists!), much less minors, those who’ve chaperoned minors on northward treks, anyone who demands asylum here, etc. So what reasons could Republicans possibly have for underestimating the scope of Obama’s proposed amnesty?
But while the broad scope of Obama’s amnesty ambition should never have been surprising, the timing should have always been telling.
The facts are that Americans overwhelmingly do not want amnesty, and running on the policy position of instituting broad amnesty for illegal aliens is a detriment to representatives running for office on both sides of the aisle. After all, if waving his mighty pen to enact amnesty is something Americans might react positively to, why would he not do it prior to the election and strengthen his party’s position in November?
No, such an action would have created too many larges waves in the political seas – too deliberate and unpopular a motion, and one that could swallow his Democrat cohorts around the country in the resulting torrents. Instead, he proudly winked at pro-amnesty lobbies and pledged that he would willfully subvert the legislative branch’s authority after the election, creating just a small wake that would drown only those Democrats who could not successfully distance themselves from him and his destructive policies. After the election, and having thus minimized the potential disaster his presidency has caused for his party, he would strike with his pen to forever alter the voting demographics of this nation in Democrats’ favor, inking his legacy and securing his progressive bonafieties among his flock.
In other words, Barack Obama knows that American citizens overwhelmingly oppose amnesty for illegal aliens. He just doesn’t care, and he’s going to institute it anyway. Barack Obama also knows that such unilateral action undermines constitutional protocol and the separation of powers. He just doesn’t care, and going to issue his executive decree anyway, regardless of the statement made at the polls in November.
In truth, we should have known that amnesty has been the left’s ultimate endgame for some time, so we shouldn’t be surprised at Obama’s fascist candor and subversive timing in executing it. Amnesty would seem to secure a new bloc of millions of Democrat voters who will march to the polls every other year (at Democrats’ behest), demanding more taxpayer-funded entitlements.
In the larger sense, what we are witnessing is the culmination of a century of progressive Democrats’ ambition. This is just the next (and perhaps last, in their mind) logical step in the quest to transform this industrious and entrepreneurial
dynamo that once was America into a government-administrated utopia.
