According to the Associated Press, "Thousands of marchers stormed the Georgia Capitol on Saturday to protest the state's new immigration law, which they say creates an unwelcome environment for people of color and those in search of a better life." Capitol police and organizers estimated that between 8,000 and 14,000 protesters gathered.
Jessica Bamaca and Melany Cordero held a poster saying, "How would you feel if your family got broken apart?" Bamaca was born in the U.S., but her mother and sister are from Guatemala. She said she fears they will be deported and that "I would be here by myself. I have a feeling the governor doesn't know the pain affecting families. If he were to be in our position, how would he react?"
I think that by now there probably are thousands of stories like that. And maybe some sympathy's felt in many cases. Nonetheless, I keep coming back to the same conclusion. The first word in the description "Illegal aliens" is ILLEGAL. And until there's a law change, the status of those who have come here that way remains as criminal and is subject to whatever the penalties may be. These folks weren't dragged here, they sneaked their way in.
But, what's worse, as I've mentioned in prior entries is what closing our eyes to illegal entry does to those who've come here the way they should. Because leniency toward illegals, and allowing them to remain, makes all who've law abided look like complete fools and schnooks. And if that's the example government wants to set, why should any law be obeyed?
So, I think a new precedents being set here, particularly by this administration, that people can now simply pick the laws they want to abide by and ignore all the rest, because illegal no longer has any impact. And, not only that, if the laws you break help the incumbents, they'll try their very best to help you beat their own system.
That's why, when you look at what this country's become in just over two years you can clearly see how we've degenerated into a complete Obamanation.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
