Attorney General Eric Holder, in a speech Wednesday before the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, said this:
Creating a pathway to earned citizenship for the 11 million unauthorized immigrants in this country is essential. The way we treat our friends and neighbors who are undocumented–by creating a mechanism for them to earn citizenship and move out of the shadows — transcends the issue of immigration status. This is a matter of civil and human rights.
So, the chief law-enforcement officer of the United States of America asserts that receiving amnesty for breaking the nation’s laws is a civil right. This is at once astonishing and surreal: the rule of law in subordination to political imperative. What other violations of law are excusable as a civil right? If the rule of law is as malleable as Holder’s statement suggests, should Dzhokar Tsarnaev be amnestied for his violations? If not, where does Holder draw the line and why?
To equate amnesty for breaking the nation’s immigration laws with civil rights betrays an incoherent and ahistorical understanding of the civil-rights movement
Holder are you that stupid? ILLEGALS have NO civil rights in the USA
Holder is not stupid. He is a criminal.
1. Stopped the prosecution of the Black Panthers who were intimidating voters in Philadephia in 2008.
2. Tried to bring enemy combatants from Gitmo to the US so they could have rights reserved for American citizens in our court system, rather than treating them as prisoners of war.
3. Lied under oath when questioned about Operation Fast and Furious – where he knew we were running guns to mexican drug cartels.
4. Is alleged to have arranged for a crazy, left-wing, pro-muslim judge to cut short the interrogation of the Boston Bomber by having Miranda rights read to him.
5. Refused to do his duty and defend DOMA in the courts because the left supports perversion.
Holder should be disbarred, put on trial and spend the rest of his life in prison for the crimes he has committed in violation of the Constitution he swore to uphold. By this statement, coupled with his actions, he clearly shows that he views breaking the law as appropriate and following the Constitution as abnormal. He is untrustworthy, has no credibility in anything he says, and is contemptibly unworthy to serve in any office of the U.S. government.
What about the civil rights of the real Americans who will be forced to support these illegal invaders?
The lawlessness of this administration is appalling and apparently never-ending.
