Treat the Cause, Not the Symptom: Welfare State Is Draw for Illegals
As the comments here and at other immigration articles have shown, there can no longer be any doubt that conservatives have completely abandoned the principles articulated in our Declaration of Independence.
So the world will know exactly what conservatives now stand for, I offer:
The Conservative’s Version of the Declaration of Independence
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to evade the disastrous problems created when they betrayed their founding principles to erect an unsustainable regulatory/welfare state — and commit a second betrayal wherein they ignore their neighbor’s rights and instead pretend their problems stem from these neighbors — a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they cook up some excuses for their betrayals.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created Unequal, that those lucky enough to be born in the United States are superior beings endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and unlimited welfare financed by confiscating the earnings of the most productive — that those unlucky enough to be born outside the United States are inferior beings endowed by their Creator not with unalienable rights, but instead with an unalienable duty — the duty to stay out of the U.S. until the superior beings grant permission to enter — the duty to rot in hell-holes of corruption and despotism for whatever indefinite period of time the superior beings arbitrarily decide to impose.
That to secure these rights of the native-born while insuring the right-less foreigners stay put in their hell-holes of corruption and despotism, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers to keep out the foreigners from the consent of the natives. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends and admits too many foreigners, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to keep the foreigners in their place and evade any necessity of challenging the welfare state or discuss the looming financial disaster it represents.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Border Patrol, we mutually pledge to each other our Votes against immigration, our Contributions to candidates against immigration, and our sacred pledge to never challenge the welfare state.
