Obama's crass immigration politics just got crasser.
President Obama made it crystal clear Friday, for the few left who doubted it, that he has no intention of ever making any useful distinction between people who are citizens of the United States and those who are not. Another part of the Democratic base pandered to, though he didn't need to "evolve" on this one. He's never thought keeping undocumented Democrats out of the country was a good idea.
Obama created somewhere north or south of a million new "Americans" Friday when he declared that his administration will no longer attempt to deport citizens of other countries illegally here who were brought here when they were children. Not that his administration was attempting all that hard anyway. The southern border to the United States remains a line on the map that all members of one of our major political parties wish to ignore, as do too many of the other. (Border? What's a mean old border between friends?)
Obama perfumed his most recent brazen run around Congress and the U.S. Constitution by draping it in terms of "fairness," as he does most of his hustles, and setting out phony standards for his amnesty plan that certainly can't and won't be enforced. Young citizens of other countries can avoid being even concerned about the heave-ho if they were brought to the United States before they turned 16 and have been in the country for at least five continuous years.
