Prosecutor Purge: House GOPers Call Out DOJ, Mock Bush's Immigration Record
TPMmuckraker brings this Washington Times piece to our attention. House Republicans still think there was no foul play in the recent canning of eight U.S. Attorneys (no surprise there), but they do take issue with the reasons given by the DOJ (the Dems took issue a long time ago). And one reason, in particular, has them chuckling. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican, sneered:
"It stretches anybody's credibility to suggest that this administration would have retaliated against U.S. Attorneys for not enforcing immigration laws. This administration itself is so lax in its attitude towards immigration laws and controlling the border."
Rohrabacher is referring to the firing of San Diego's former U.S. Attorney Carol Lam, who was forced to resign last winter under the premise that she was not filing enough immigration cases. (Au contraire.) Anyone who has been following the prosecutor case knows that the DOJ's allegations against Carol Lam are bogus and more likely the reason she was let go was because she was hot on the trail of defense contractor Brent Wilkes and former CIA official Kyle "Dusty" Foggo. TPMmuckraker notes that AG Alberto Gonzales' lying evoked unity among Dems and Republicans. I'd say we owe this bipartisan harmony to Bush's immigration record.
Rohrabacher, a catholic as I am is in speaking out against illegal immigration is placing himself in direct opposition to the Popes, both prior and present and all the catholic bishops as I am. Even though I am an Independant swing voter I am to illegal immigration, the US cannot bear the cost of this rampant immigration and the american people are not ready for invasion by immigration.
America is already terribly over burdened by illegals and if this rush is not stopped or at least greatly slowed our already divided, fractured and polarized country will come apart.
This much social change occurring so rapidly is destructive to the very fabric and framework of our society.
The fact that the Pope supports illegal immigration doesn't make it right. One has only to remember the Popes support and endorsement of Hitler and the Nazi Party before, during, and after WWII to see papal error. Now we have the Popes supporting the Republican Party of world domination and war-death-kill for profit to get some grasp on the consequences of egregious papal error of biblical proportions.
The Popes do not care what happens to America and have their own agenda for America.
It's my country not the Popes and he must get out of american politics and policy both domestic and foreign. Had Pope John Paul II not damned Kerry the Kerry-Edwards ticket would have taken the WH and this war would be over, our troops, Iraqis, Afghanis and all the innocent families here in America and in Iraq and Afghanistan would now be alive.
