Laws mean nothing

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

"Where there is no law, there is no liberty; and nothing deserves the name of law but that which is certain and universal in its operation upon all the members of the community." - Benjamin Rush (letter to David Ramsay, circa April 1788).


We should now be classified a third world nation as our "rule of law" has gone to hell much as our nation has. The people have rated most of our placating elected idiots at their lowest point in all of history, yet they continue to defy our will and cater to special interests.


Our federal and local governments continue allowing big business and open border advocates to pick and choose which laws they will obey.


Sell dope and have your possessions confiscated and you go to prison. Get caught breaking even the most minor law and ordinary people are forced to pay or even go to jail.


But our laws and borders are becoming meaningless as our government is controlled more and more by special interests. Federal and local governments thumb their respective brown noses at enforcement of our immigration laws.


Big business, supported by the National Chamber of Commerce and open border organizations, is allowed to flaunt our nations laws on immigration. Millions upon millions of illegal aliens are openly working and using taxpayer benefits meant for citizens. The American dream that both political parties say they want to protect is in truth being destroyed by their actions.


Both talking heads running for president are chomping at the bit to give amnesty to the more than 24 million lawbreakers. Those lawbreakers will be instant citizens and will be enrolled into Social Security, meaning Americans citizens can kiss their American dream good-bye.


When amnesty happens, then those new instant citizens will bring all their relatives into our country and the USA will soon cease to exist as we have known it.
