Robbing Peter to Pay Juan

Keeping the premeditated economic apocalypse in mind, I'm delighted that the Obama administration has found enough taxpayer dollars for funding community health centers for the treatment of "migrants" and "seasonal farm workers." Now I have a window of insight into the inner workings of "community organization," in which Obama prides himself as an adept. Our unborn great-grandchildren may be in debt when they first pop out of the womb, but at least the undocumented rapists and murderers and welfare cases and drunk drivers and fraudsters will have adequate, inexpensive health care. That's what matters most.

Serving illegal aliens is a conscious objective, as this comment demonstrates:

“Health centers do not, as a matter of routine practice, ask about or collect data on citizenship or other matters not related to the treatment needs of the patients seeking health services at the center,” Andrews said.

“The Program’s authorizing statute does not affirmatively address immigration status,” said Andrews. “Rather, it simply states that health centers are required to provide primary health care to all residents of the health center's service area without regard for ability to pay.”

Given that "illegal immigrants make up an estimated 25 percent of all migrant farm workers," the intent behind this magnanimity with other people's money becomes clear: aiding and abetting lawlessness. Not only does the federal government refuse enforcement of our nation's right and proper immigration laws, but it provides services for criminal aliens at your expense.

That's what I call compassion.

Yuckabee

Here's one reason why I'd write in Foghorn Leghorn for president before I'd give Mike Huckabee my vote:


A controversial County College of Morris policy allowing illegal immigrants to enroll and pay the lower, in-county tuition rate received some high-profile support Tuesday night from likely Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee. (emphasis added)

Huckabee, the guest speaker at the Drew Forum, was introduced by president Robert Weisbuch as having backed legislation providing "tuition assistance to children of undocumented immigrants" when he was governor of Arkansas.

Weisbuch's comment prompted Barbara Eames, a Hanover resident who opposes the new CCM policy, to ask Huckabee his views on it during the question-and-answer period.

Huckabee, in his response to Eames, did not specifically refer to the Randolph-based college, but offered a spirited defense of his viewpoint that those brought to the United States illegally as children should be given the opportunity to complete their education.

He said his support for tuition assistance legislation in Arkansas was inspired by the plight of an undocumented high school valedictorian who, under the state's existing law, would have been ineligible for a public college scholarship.

"I decided I'd rather see that kid become a taxpayer, rather than a tax-taker," Huckabee said.

Huckabee said rather than targeting young children who had no choice in their decision to move to the United States, the battle over illegal immigration should focus on strengthening the borders and cracking down on businesses violating the law.


So in short, Huckabee has a history of supporting in-state tuition for illegal aliens; he approved as governor of Arkansas, and he endorses such policies now.

The final paragraph tells us that, His support for college tuition assistance became an issue in his failed run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. I assume he anticipates a second failed attempt at the Oval Office, since he's keeping the status quo on his unpopular stance.

Why do people whose presence within our borders is a violation of federal law deserve preferential treatment -- treatment that U.S. citizens do not enjoy? Better yet, why are they allowed to enroll as students in American schools at all?

Other questions: why does Huckabee assume that all illegal aliens attempting enrollment in college were brought here against their collective will as children? How does he know that some or even many didn't make that trek willingly, as teenagers or young adults? Why is ensuring that illegal aliens complete their educations a duty of American politicians? Notice the unstated assumptions built into his viewpoint.

As for his nonsense about his preference for them becoming taxpayers, not tax-takers, that problem has a solution that doesn't require handing them in-state tuition at U.S. colleges: deport them, or don't let them in the door, in the first place. I suppose that's too much to ask in the days of the Obama administration, when border enforcement is deemphasized and sunny propaganda is the order of the day.

Mike Huckabee is part of the problem, not part of a solution. He's a champion of the idea, "meet the new boss, same as the old boss." If you think pandering to illegal aliens is progress, he's your go-to guy.

They Come Here to Work

See? Here's proof.

Welcome, Ahmad Jihad Velasquez!


Immigration officials have previously discovered items along the U.S.-Mexico border from Middle Eastern origin, including Iranian currency in Zapata, Texas, and a jacket found in Jim Hogg County, Texas, that was covered in patches including an Arabic military badge that illustrates an airplane flying into a tower.


Those family values and dedication to hard work bring a tear to my eye. This is the stuff of Ellis Island.

E.U.: We've Outgrown Christianity

A 2011-2012 school calendar published by the European Union has omitted Christian holidays, while continuing to note important Jewish and Muslim celebrations.

While Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter are missing from the calendar's pages, days commemorating “Sikh Baisakhi-Day, the Jewish Yom Kippur holiday, the Muslim holiday Aid-el-Kebir,” remain in place" . . .


There you have it, my friends: the spawn of multiculturalism; the natural outcome of mass immigration; the stinking droppings of apostasy. In the cradle of western civilization, the first great mission field for Christianity where the children of God brought His Good News from the land of Israel -- now the mere acknowledgment that Christians are one religious group among many is too much to expect from the E.U. Perish the thought that Christianity and its two thousand-year influence on Europe and the world might merit a position of privilege. The E.U. school calendar cannot even mention its existence.

Christianity is the only religion in the world that receives transparent disrespect from the powers that be. How interesting that this treatment fits Jesus' words like a hand fits a tailor-made glove:


And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. -- Luke 21:17


But He leaves us with a promise -- a positive message of hope for the future:


Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. -- Luke 6:22-23

No, I'm not talking about triple-breasted senoritas, mi amigos.
