All Zero has to do is mention to the DC cops that they don’t need to give breaks to Congresscritters and all hell would break loose.
]]>Now, let’s be clear about what it isn’t. This deal does not apply to anyone who has come to this country recently. It does not apply to anyone who might come to America illegally in the future. It does not grant citizenship, or the right to stay here permanently, or offer the same benefits that citizens receive -– only Congress can do that. All we’re saying is we’re not going to deport you.
One thing you have to say about Obama, he generally says exactly what he’s going to do. Like he specifically said he was going to basically be a banker and health insurer’s best friend when he was running for office, except nobody bothered reading his actual words and instead read their hopes or dreams or fears into what he said. But you parse the words and this is exactly what he said he’s going to do: he’s just going to choose not to deport some people.
Let’s face it, I’m sure that of the millions of pages of laws that are on the law books, you and I have violated at least a half dozen of them at some point or another. Why aren’t we in jail? Simple: they’re laws that cops and prosecutors don’t bother enforcing. Because if they enforced every single one of those laws, they’d have to put *everybody* in jail, including themselves. Prosecutorial discretion is the rule, not the exception. Obama’s critics best be glad that he chooses to exercise it, otherwise they’d all be in jail for violating something.
