The Approbation of a Burglar

How sublime it would have been yesterday, if I had received at least a Father’s Day card from people that receive public assistance courtesy of my tax dollars. And how thoughtful it would have been last year if the people who burglarized my sister’s house had thought to leave a thank-you card where the big television had been attached to the wall. Only an ungrateful half-wit would help himself to your home and belongings and not have a modicum of decency to say thanks. So, whatever we may conclude about Mexican President Felipe Calderón, we may not say that he’s an ungrateful half-wit.
The leader of a nation that imprisons those who trespass its sovereign borders wishes to thank President Obama for neglecting America’s national sovereignty:
I would like to thank personally, and on behalf of the Mexican nation, President Barack Obama for his valuable decision by executive order to give an opportunity for young people who were not born in the United States but who arrived in that great nation before they were 16 years of age, or who are studying in university, or who have served in the United States armed forces, for them not to be deported for at least a period of two years, so this is a clear and certain situation for them.
It’s a “clear and certain situation” for American citizens as well, as they compete with upwards of 800,000 illegal immigrants to secure jobs that are dwindling faster than President Obama’s approval rating. According to Representative Lou Barletta, (R-PA), Americans and legal immigrants will now compete with hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants for college scholarship and admission spots. Thus does the President who campaigned on “fairness” pull the rug out from under those who have played by the rules.
“We believe that this is very just. It’s a humanitarian action,” writes the President of a country whose laws provide for up to six years of incarceration for immigrants who violate the terms of their Visas. ”Mr. President, we would like to thank you for the valor and courage that you had in implementing this action,” says the man whose valor and courage enable him to lock up first time illegal aliens for two years, repeat offenders for ten, and criminalize those who aid illegal aliens.
Having earned the gratitude of a first-rate hypocrite, President Obama continues to ostracize those of his own countrymen who not only respect the rule of law, but expect their Chief Executive to insure the enforcement of the law according to his Constitutional oath. The linguistics may differ, but President Obama and President Calderón speak the same language, making up in sheer hypocrisy what they lack in either courage or valor.

Excellent post and 100% true. Thank you Mr.Carter.

No surprises here. Calderon and Obama share something very significant: They are both third world leaders, and none of us are.
Morgan commented:
My children could not receive in-state tuition rates. Or have the benefit of edging out other job applicants by speaking Spanish (they know German, the language of their LEGAL immigrant grandparents).
The offspring of criminals and law breakers are given higher rights than those bestowed upon citizens. Obama and Rubio for that matter can talk about these “kids” (some are 30) having no say in coming here.
Well my five children come from a tax-paying home of citizens. It’s enough we let illegals stay here. Why are their rights above ours? Will they get to vote twice also?
Radegunda commented:
A decent leader would be ashamed that so many of his citizens are desperate to get out of the country he rules. Instead, Calderon is proudly pressuring a neighboring country to take them in. No shame, no decency.
AnnaS commented:
The thing that keeps making me crazy is that those like Juan Williams keep saying –”well he couldn’t get Congress to pass it, so he had to do it!” Damn! Is this a banana republic where the dictator just disregards laws his highness does not like? Makes his own laws? Geez Louise! I guess no one will hold him accountable–they might be termed racist.

If he’s elected again in November, he’ll have more “flexibility.”
Just think how special that will be for America.
coolidgerules commented:
He’ll subvert any law or regulation for his benefit. Doesn’t give a damn what you think.
It’s hard as good citizens who look out for each other and want the best for all to understand this mindset. He has been raised and educated in this demented philosophy as have others in his administration. He is much like a petulant child, as his needs are what will satisfy him right now and the hell with the long term consequences of his actions. He knows everything, so he’ll deal with those consequences when they arise. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Good piece, Mr. Carter.

Is the President of the United States supposed to show allegiance to America and Americans or illegal alien invaders, and in this case, Mexico? Is he the President to Mexican citizens or American citizens? Would they like us to move, to provide room for these people? Should we call any future President, The President of the United States of Mexico?
I resent to hell what’s happened here, and I’m sick of it. I’m sick an tired of my so called President, not showing allegiance to America and the laws. I’m sick and tired of those who allow it. If there was a country that is as good as America once was, I would move there, because I don’t like what they’re doing here.
Did you also notice, this undocumented worker in the White House called them patriotic? The Tea Party, who were born here, are terrorists, but illegal aliens who’ve invaded the country, are now patriotic. The United States of Mexico.

And when the Supreme Court strikes down Obamacare, Monday, can we expect its implementation with his sword, or sorry, I meant to say pen? Maybe he will start deporting Americans who were born here, and who’s ancestors built this country? They might need to make room for the “new Americans.”
Patty commented:
Amen!!
Dave Carter, I would like to thank you, personally. For days now I could really express my feelings and you just did. This is an amazing writing and I can only hope that, Romney is the real deal and will do what he says. We need some light in our life because for the past 3 years there has been more gloom and doom than any American should endure.
We have been Biotched Slapped by Obama.
Thank you, Jim Hoft for posting this.
Patty commented:
Correction: Couldn’t express my feelings but you Mr. Carter just did.

If the Supreme Court overrules this, Obama has something devious up his sleeve.
tommy mc donnell commented:
another edict from the ruler that the majority of the people don’t support. remember that from of government that was suppose to do what the majority wanted.
this was not done for the american people as the myth claims, this was done to the american people in the hope it will put more of them out of work.
