How About a Dignity Act for Actual Americans? |
Here’s an idea - how about a Dignity Act that treats Americans with some dignity? Oh, I mean the “Dignidad Act” because using a Spanish word in its official title compounds the indignity of this blatant rejection of everything Republican voters voted for. A real Dignity Act would ship every single illegal alien back to his, her, and especially their homeland. But normal Americans are expected to suffer indignities, to bear the burden of the Third World, and to shut the hell up.
Something like 20 republicans have signed onto this abomination. Now, Republican Rep. María Elvira Salazar, the alleged GOP congresswoman from Florida's district 27 pushing this, is getting all the play for two reasons: She’s a Cuban American five but a DC eight, and is therefore telegenic, and she has a remarkable capacity to lie to our faces. “This is not amnesty,” she insists relentlessly.
It’s totally amnesty, but in her defense, we are now in a world where words mean nothing in and of themselves and morph in meaning as necessary to support the narrative du jour. “Victory” and “defeat” mean nothing.” Genocide” means nothing.
“Racism” is the OG of word-flexing - it too essentially means nothing, except (like all these Gumby words) that we or things we support are bad because they choose to apply an inapplicable label to them.
This thing is ridiculous. It’s not amnesty, she says, but it lets illegal aliens stay here. Oh, and they get lawyers we pay for to help them. And if they got deported previously, we have to bring them back. Commit a crime here? Awesome - Bienvenidos, amigo, you get to stay. Apparently, we need illegal aliens to commit the crimes American criminals don’t want to commit. And all that’s just scraping the fetid surface of this cesspool.
But, they argue, what about the dignity of the people........
