Last Friday, many Republicans were upset when the president decided to flout the law by stating that Homeland Security would no longer deport undocumented immigrants under 30 years old who came to the U.S. when they were 16 or younger, have lived here for at least five years, and have no criminal record.
Florida Senator, Marco Rubio, was particularly displeased whereas he’s been drafting his own legal solution to the matter, and now has been perfunctorily upstaged.
However, now that I’ve thought the situation over it's become apparent that this is another case where the administration took a heavy-handed approach for purely political purposes, and then not only shot themselves in the foot, but practically blew a whole leg off.
Because, they’ve killed the economy to the extent that any kind of jobs are extremely hard to find and unemployment keeps rising. However, by pandering to a special interest group they’ve now added approximately 800,000 more to that number.
So, in one fell swoop, they’ve significantly increased the number of folks out of work, or displaced ones who might have been hired. And in that way they've dug their own reelection hole several feet deeper.
But most of all, they’ve proven again that it really hurts to be not only incompetent but stupid to boot when it comes to economic issues.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
