The United States - A Lawless Country?


We are fast becoming a nation sans laws. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of laws currently on the books are being ignored. The most egregious are the laws pertaining to immigration. There was a time if you were in this country illegally and got caught, you were shipped back from whence you came. Today, there is no fear of that. In a lot of cases, even
criminals are allowed to stay, many clogging our jails and prisons. 

It's against current U.S. law to enter this country illegally!

A majority of the people in this country do not like this turn of events as to how we treat the illegals. Those immigrants who went through the process legally to gain citizenship have every right to be upset with what they are seeing now. This is not a new phenomenon. The influx of illegals goes back a number of years and several administrations...each year the problem becoming more pronounced. Several bills have been tossed about the halls of Congress but have gone nowhere. Party lines have been drawn. The Republicans demanding guidelines to gaining citizenship (already on the books!!) and the Democrats wanting what seems to be nothing short of a free ride, commonly known as amnesty.  To be sure, illegals are
draining the public taxpayer coffers because, for some reason, they are granted public assistance, health care and to some degree welfare. There kids go to public schools. They are even allowed to vote in some cases, democratic, of course, because the Dems offer these free benefits. And therein lies the crux of the matter. The democrats favor a welfare state...'make it free and they will vote for us come election time!' True..it has been proven. But the overall financially toll it takes on a country already teetering on bankruptcy is staggering. 

The state of Arizona has been at the forefront of the immigration battle for several years, going toe-to-toe with the Obama Administration. This week another blow was delivered when the United States Supreme Court shot down
Illegal Aliens Crossing Arizona Border
Arizona's voter registration law. Read More: Supreme Court Wields Its Sword . A number of states with similar laws will be affected by the ruling and other states will shy away from passing laws like it or watered-down versions. 


Obama has a history of ignoring laws. If he doesn't like it his Justice Department won't enforce it. No surprise there with Eric Holder at the helm. This crew feels the same way about the Constitution....ignore what you don't like.  President
U.S. Supreme Court
Obama came in to office saying he was going to "Change America."  I don't think this is what we as voters had in mind. Those of us who did not vote for the man the first time around were skeptical of those words. Those who voted for him got duped, and obviously weren't paying attention the second time around..."Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me," applies here.


Some have accused this president with his willing and defiant nature of the law and Constitution to be bordering on
tyranny. Let's hope he is long gone before this country bows to that!
