The immigration turmoil has begun.
- First off, my congratulations to Arizona’s governor for signing one of the toughest immigration laws in the country into being today. I can truly understand them wanting to take action when both parties full of losers and pandering shills would not. I hope their new bill works out for them.
- On the other side of the coin, Obama is complaining about it. I suspect the usual suspects like La Raza and the ACLU will also come out of the woodwork to sue and protest. Except for the fact that they’re loud and annoying, they don’t have a real point and there’s no real reason to take them into account.
- Plus, it looks like Congress may be taking another shot at amnesty this summer. I agree with the conjecture that this is Obama trying to fire up Hispanics to reduce his midterm losses, regardless of the strife he’s going to cause above and beyond what he’s already inflicted. Not that I suspect he cares.
Now on to the bright side. This amnesty bill is not welcome, but it is well timed to do damage to…RINOs everywhere. Especially the cynical illegal immigration maverick waffle himself, John McCain.
I mentioned this before, but I’ll expound on it a bit. McCain now has a huge problem. The issue that nearly sank his presidential aspirations has just come to the fore. Furthermore, the Democrats could well fast-track an attempt at amnesty if they simply recycle the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill, which won’t make life any easier for him once the Democrats advertise it. And to top it all off, McCain’s penchant for being a complete media whore means there’s likely tons of footage of him pandering on this issue already up on YouTube, like this little jewel:
It won’t matter what his election-year flip is once all of this comes into play.
It gets better. Since the Official Maverick Lapdog Lindsey Graham (Pomeranian – SC) will likely be supporting the effort, he can be hung around the necks of every RINO still currently in a primary like a big mavericky albatross. It’s not that far from accurate to state they’ll all act like him, or form Gangs of Fail with him, or otherwise annoy conservatives just like him. Again, this especially applies to “maverick” John McCain, who’s bad news is about to grow much, much worse.
We have another fight coming, but we can make use of it. It’s time for McCain to go, and this will only help bring that about.
