“(B)eing an American is not a matter of blood or birth, it’s a matter of faith”….Wow! What a line! It’s grandly uplifting, semi-religious in tone and utterly hollow. It’s a line intentionally included in a speech so that it can be a sound bite later on. A perfect example of the all-too-familiar Oprahfied gassy uplift we have come to expect from this administration.
I hate to be the one to say it but being an American is NOT “a matter of faith” but rather a matter of law. You would have thought that constitutional scholar and former Harvard Law Review editor B. Obama would have recognized that. However Obama and the Dems are salivating at the prospect of adding ten to fifteen million potential voters to their base and the devil take the high road. The implacable fact remains however that these potential voters are still here illegally and a special accomodation has to be made for them – an accomodation that has never been made for any other immigrant group in U.S. history. As a result the proponents of legal immigration and secure borders (a federal responsibility by the way) must be smeared as racists and xenophobes in order to prepare the ground. It’s a tried and true “progressive” tactic and one that every good liberal is quite comfortable with.
