Illegal immigrants with no special talents and no real reason to be here — beyond sponging off taxpayers to the tune of $113 billion a year, according to one report — continue to:
• Sneak across the border.
Have children on U.S. soil.
• Exploit their anchor babies’ American citizenship and exasperate the government into giving them special treatment.
President Obama is as lawless as the illegals he is trying to legitimize, according to a lawsuit in the Supreme Court this week about blocking a deferred action program the Sympathizer-in-Chief created without congressional approval, allowing parents of citizens and lawful permanent residents to stay in the U.S. The highest court in the land will decide if the president of the United States can independently wield prosecutorial discretion — a legal loophole and the infrastructure of plea bargaining and other judicial mercies — to absolve millions of outlaw immigrants of their crimes and deceptions, while granting them federal benefits even many Americans do not receive.
Obama’s illegals kick is highly personal:
• “If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen,” lectured his late Aunt Zeituni Onyango, who overstayed her 2000 visitor’s visa, collected welfare and disability benefits, lived in public housing, and received asylum only after her nephew became president.
• “I think I will call the White House,” name-dropped Onyango “Drunken Uncle Omar” Obama to cops after his 2011 drunk-driving arrest. The sot was holed up here for 50 years — thrice arrested and ignoring two deportation orders — when a judge finally granted him a green card. Again, after his nephew’s election to the Oval Office.
America was built on the backs of legal immigrants, who endured a strict federal vetting process, resisted welfare, and toiled to assimilate — not riffraff like Aunt Zeituni and Uncle Omar who are a pain in our assets. Any pardon for violators should include a fine, community service, a sealed border, and a constitutional amendment denying citizenship to anchor babies.
Anything less invites more lawlessness, insults legal immigrants — including yours truly — and makes a shamnesty of American justice.
