I’m sure you will recall the flood of children illegally entering the United States – according to Border Patrol figures that would be 198,155 Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) from 2009 to March 31 of this year. You may also recall Obama’s executive order giving not just the children but also millions of other illegal aliens amnesty. Then just to rub salt into the wounds of taxpayers, Obama decided to give these illegal aliens an amnesty bonus. It started by allowing the illegal aliens to receive a social security number that will allow them to legally file an income tax return. Through come creative accounting, these illegals will now be able to get a refund for money they may or may not have paid into fraudulent social security accounts.
But wait, it gets even more insane! It was an insult to all those who legally applied for entry into the United States and have been waiting years for approval when these thousands of children received legal residency status for no valid reason other than they were children. Now the Obama administration has decided to bring the families of these children to this country as well. No, they are not just receiving legal residency status. Obama is going to pay to bring and resettle them here – of course with your tax dollars.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, the 2014 budget to care for these kids was $376,080 but was expected to skyrocket to nearly one billion dollars. I could find no estimate for the cost to bring – and resettle – the families to the US. How could it cost a billion dollars to care for these kids? They get special diets, full room and board, first-class Spanish education, and complete healthcare all paid for with your tax dollars. We can only imagine what the reunited families will receive compliments of the US taxpayers.
Apparently, the Obama administration was not satisfied spending precious tax dollars to reunite families merely of these Unaccompanied Alien Children, they are now planning to bring families of all the other millions of Illegal aliens here as well.
Well, it’s looking more like crime pays these days. It is a crime to enter and remain in this country without proper documentation. It is a crime to fraudulently pass off a social security number that has not been assigned to you by the social security administration. But families need to be together, the liberals will say. So why were these children and adults not returned to their families in their own country? Obviously, it wasn’t for lack of funds, since Obama seems to have found enough tax dollars to bring the rest of their families here.
So, this is Obama’s idea of compassion? What about the millions of good people who have been waiting years for the opportunity to come to America at their own expense? Many of them have children too. Where is the compassion for them?
Okay, let’s look at what we American taxpayers get for this “compassion.” Those who have legally applied for immigration are generally well-educated, productive citizens. Many have special skills that could add to the productivity and value of our country; doctors, engineers, educators, administrators, lawyers, musicians, artists, writers, businessmen, and many other valuable professions. Yes, there are probably simple laborers on the waiting list as well.
I wonder how many professionals are in this country illegally and included in Obama’s amnesty program. I also wonder how many of these illegal aliens are involved with the drug cartels of Central America. While it may sound crass, I also wonder just how many more uneducated gardeners and landscapers we really need. How many more day laborers do we need? How many more laborers for below rate non-union construction do we need?
Well folks, if Obama is the man you voted for twice, is this the kind of performance you bargained for? Is this the way you expected your tax dollars to be spent? Do you actually believe that any of this makes sense? Can you honestly answer yes to these questions?
The Obama administration is a horrendous affront to logic. This is what happens when voters select a person simply because of his or her race, or gender, of because they would be the first president of any stripe. When voters ignore experience and competence, you get Obama. You don’t get reason, frugality, or even true compassion in your government.
