Undocumented Americans
June 6, 2007 by Michael van der Galiën
Michelle Malkin has a post up, linking to this post at Hot Air about Harry Reid. It seems that good ol’ Reid referred to the 12 million illegal aliens in America as “undocumented Americans.”
Something tells me Reid favors amnesty for all - after all, they are Americans already.
Since I am not American, I cannot possibly get angry about this. If, however, I was an American, this would not exactly fall on good ground with me either. They may live in America, they may be good people, but they are not Americans. They may be Mexicans living in America, they may be Puerto Ricans living in America, but they are not Americans. Repeat after me.
Actually, Puerto Rican’s are Americans. Sort of. But definitely more so than illegals from Mexico.
Maybe the rest of the world are unrealized Americans too…
If they want to live here and believe in the Constitution of the United States and share those fundamental values, then they are basically as American as apple pie.
And that’s the difference between America and almost every other country.
Its subliminal approach to the question of amnesty. Removing 12 million voters from the democratic rolls would be disasterous.
Removing 10 to 50 more million in the next 20 years would be even more disasterous.
I for one am at a loss as to why any single Republican would be supporting this bill at all.
Its a death knell to the republican party or at least to conservative votes.
I understand why the liberals here favor it. It is the beginning of the end for opposition to their godless agenda for America but with the help of Republicans? That just makes no sense.

Good gracious… “godless agenda for America”? Whatever are you smoking?

The Boston Globe had an editorial last weekend that in my opinion made some sense on this subject. My post on it is here: http://blog.thedemocraticdaily.com/?p=5974
