The Obama Family: Perfecting the Art of Uppity

The Obama Family: Perfecting the Art of Uppity


Emigrating to a foreign land has to be an intimidating experience for the émigré.




Just think of it: Entering a country where you don’t speak the same language, don’t understand the customs or laws, and don’t have many if any friends or relatives to give you a sense of belonging must induce a certain trepidation.



Of course, in America, land of the free, the brave, the swiss cheese borders, and tens of millions of illegal immigrants, those trepidations rarely apply. By contrast, in virtually every other nation on Earth, illegal aliens strive to keep a low profile and avoid detection lest they end up in jail, deported and, in many nations, beaten, and tortured.



Imprisonment and deportation back to whence they came are the fates of relatively few illegals caught breaking our laws. The millions of others pretty much get a pass–until they are apprehended committing a crime–except in states such as Arizona where the citizenry and government believe they are compelled to enforce federal immigration legislation laws since the feds won’t.



Decent foreigners follow procedures and wait their turn to enter America and should be welcomed to our land of immigrants. Then there are people who have contempt for our laws and slither into our country illegally. Some lucky souls are immune from any restrictions providing they have, shall we say, friends in high places.



A prime example of immigrants with connections is President Barack Obama’s “dear Auntie Zeituni,” as he referred to her in Dreams from My Father.



She not only emigrated here illegally but lived on the dole for decades in the Boston area, defied repeated deportation orders, and then bitched about her treatment following a federal judge’s reversal of opinion after her nephew’s coincidental election as president.



Obama’s Uncle Omar is no slouch either when it comes to illegally sneaking into the United States, setting up residence–also in liberal Massachusetts–and avoiding deportation. Charged with a DUI in Framingham, his first words were, “I think I will call the White House.” He beat the rap and is still working in a liquor store.



For all the sordid details on uppity Obama-family illegals, see “Uncle Omar and Auntie Zeituni”, http://bit.ly/r1DnSR.



The Kenyan native Zeituni Onyango, a dead ringer for “SNL’s” Kenan Tompson, full sister of Uncle Omar Onyango and half sister of the president’s reprobate-bigamist father, Barack Hussein Obama, Senior, has asserted herself once again in a memoir, Tears of Abuse. . .

Humor, Calderon-Salazar Style

Humor, Calderon-Salazar Style

Politicians are by nature gregarious, almost as gregarious as they are entertaining.

Showing that our own politicos don’t have a lock on the absurd, Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon gave fair warning to Americans during his visit to the Land of the Gringos that Mexicans were getting upset with us over the illegal immigration issue. Before we go ahead and do something foolish, like securing our borders and asserting our national integrity, Calderon wants us to speak softly and drop Teddy Roosevelt’s menacing, big stick.

Calderon didn’t specifically refer to Teddy’s stick but he did declare that, “We need to change the general perception inside the public opinion in America and the public opinion in Mexico” because ”bad feelings are growing on both sides of the border. The anti-American feeling in Mexico is growing again” and we should all make nice.

He didn’t actually say that either. What Calderon did say was that, “What we need to do is remember each other–that we are neighbors, we are nice, and we are human persons. We contribute to each other’s prosperity.”

In a Q&A following a speech to the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the Mexican president added that the “Dream Act,” would have been a great move a toward alleviating those Mexican “bad feelings” and negative perceptions toward America: http://tiny.cc/lv7kr

In a joint appearance with President Obama, Calderon also voiced his hearty support for Obama’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

We certainly can’t permit those feelings and perceptions to fester and should, therefore, have passed the “Dream Act,” which would have rewarded young criminal illegals in our country. We certainly should endorse Obama’s package which would express the nation’s appreciation to the other 13 million or so, mostly-Mexican, criminal illegal aliens who have violated our laws by sneaking across the border, who have taken jobs away from legal residents, who have wreaked havoc in border towns, who don’t pay income taxes and have over-stuffed our prison systems.

Still, Calderon’s ideas could be implemented, with one stipulation: Mexico would have to repeal its own onerous immigration laws which make Arizona’s seem like an engraved invitation.

Among other things, those laws provide for the imprisonment and/or expulsion of any foreigners stupid enough to intrude on Mexican soil and the jailing of those who assist them. They also impose severe restrictions even on legal immigrants, requiring an unblemished character and a capacity to significantly contribute to Mexican society.

Until such repeal, we should regard Calderon’s suggestions for what they must be, a tongue-in-cheeky effort to induce American guffaws.

The United States Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar isn’t especially known as a stand-up comedian but he recently rivaled Felipe Calderon’s comical ideas in his statements on American energy independence.

With a straight face–politicians are awesome when they tell jokes–Salazar ridiculed the popular chant, “Drill, baby, drill!” and dismissed without answering a question on getting oil from the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. His non-response: “We don’t believe that you need to drill everywhere.”

No one had suggested drilling “everywhere.” . . .

A Nation Defined and Defiled

A Nation Defined and Defiled

. . . Lady Liberty’s inscription in part reads,”Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” It makes no reference nor does it imply that illegal aliens, often reprobate aliens, are invited to join us in the ongoing, 221 year old experiment in liberty that is America.

Nevertheless, that invitation has been extended to virtually everyone on Planet Earth, including those misanthropic earthlings whose primary purpose in life is to destroy us. All we used to ask is that immigrants enter the country legally and abide by our laws. It was assumed they would learn our language and willingly assimilate into our culture.

Most people would call that immigration policy suicidal, especially when many sneak in, violate our laws, and reject our language and culture. The United States calls it multiculturalism, inclusion, anything other than an asinine, national suicide policy.

This week the laughable Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection division, CBP, issued its annual report which included an admission that it has established “effective control” of only 873 miles of our 1,954 mile border with Mexico–and that’s an “improvement” over 2009! . . .

Good Old Aunt Zeituni, the Classic Leech, Speaks!

Good Old Aunt Zeituni, the Classic Leech, Speaks!

Regular readers may recall Barack Obama’s Kenyan Aunt Zeituni, an illegal immigrant who has been on the public dole in Boston since she first graced our shores in 2000.

She thinks that’s just fine and perfectly equitable because America has a duty to take care of everyone who manages to sneak into our country or who arrives on a temporary visa and overstays that visa, indefinitely in her case. The 9/11 terrorist Muhammad Atta did the same thing.

She also believes it’s eminently fair that she was permitted to”cut the line,” to jump to the head of a public housing queue because, well because she happens to be Zeituni Onyango, Obama’s “dear Aunt Zeituni,” as he describes her in his memoir, Dreams from My Father.

Only Barack Obama, and his father and other family members, could consider Onyango in any way part of any dream. Most Americans would regard her and her obnoxious sense of entitlement–as an illegal alien, yet!–as our worst nightmare.

The same judge who twice rejected her request (demand?) for asylum and who twice ordered her out of the country and back to Kenya, orders she ignored, ultimately granted that asylum on the peculiar basis that her life and well- being would be jeopardized in her own land because she was aunt to an American president.

Immigration Judge Leonard Shapiro had rejected that contention but somehow came around to Onyango’s point of view. . .

The Eve of Arizona's SB1070: The Eve of Destruction?

The Eve of Arizona's SB1070: The Eve of Destruction?

On the eve of implementation of SB1070, Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law, United States District Court Judge Susan Bolton, a Clinton appointee, issued her decision on the federal government’s suit seeking an injunction against or the voiding of SB1070.

In a nutshell, illegal aliens won, the American people lost, although we haven’t lost everything. The judge gutted the principal features of the law but allowed some provisions to stand.

Also, there will be appeals, first to Bolton to re-consider her decision and then probably to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals which is the most liberal circuit court in the country but which has sided with Arizona on similar issues in the past.

There were high hopes that Judge Bolton would find for Arizona since she had voiced skepticism as to whether SB1070 actually does pre-empt federal immigration law and whether the feds should be trying to overturn Arizona’s right to be “inhospitable” to illegal aliens but politics eventually prevailed.

Okay, so what’s out and what’s still in? . . .

Magnanimity in North Miami Beach

Magnanimity in North Miami Beach

In a gesture of boundless magnanimity, of selfless generosity, the mayor of North Miami Beach has extended America’s–or, at least, North Miami Beach’s–hand to the unfortunate, impoverished people of Haiti.

Mayor Mayor Andre Pierre, a Haitian immigrant, says 55,000 Haitians waiting for visas to the United States are welcome to settle in his city of 60,000 souls.

It’s gratifying to see an immigrant offering something to his adoptive community as payback for allowing him to enter our country and become a mayor.

As of the 2000 census, 38.97% of the population of North Miami Beach were African American so the influx of those 55,000 Haitians should appreciably change the demographic makeup. Other plusses for North Miami Beachians would include learning the skill of balancing water buckets and baskets on their heads and the fine art of voodoo.

As Van Helsing of Moonbattery.com points out, “Similarly, . . .

"A Nation of Immigrants"

"A Nation of Immigrants"

We all know the devil can cite scripture for his purpose and that words can be twisted out of all proportion from their original meaning and intent.

Such is the case with the term “a nation of immigrants” which has become a catch phrase of the illegal immigration, illegal migration, undocumented workers now demonstrating nationwide for reform of America’s immigration laws.

Aside from those “nations” which don’t deserve that designation by virtue of having no defined borders or no interest in or capability of defending their borders, the United States of America has some of the less stringent immigration laws on the planet.

Post 9/11 and much too late, we tightened up visa, immigration, and citizenship policies but it’s worth noting that all of that tightening relates to legal immigrants, those willing to wait on line, be patient, pay the relevant fees and hope for admission into our great land. . .

SB 1070: Arizona's Illegal Alien Law

SB 1070: Arizona's Illegal Alien Law

With the continuing and worsening uproar over Arizona’s new immigration law, SB 1070, it might be worthwhile to actually read said law before demonstrating or rioting over it.

Aside from the incongruity of the spectacle of illegal aliens protesting against a public law not scheduled to go into effect for months, a look at the text of that statute might alleviate some of their overreactive concerns.

It’s a simple law, really, as far as laws go, and largely devoid of the legalistic jargon that often obfuscates what politicians write. The section titled, “Article 8. Enforcement of Immigration Laws.” and subtitled, “Cooperation and Assistance in Enforcement of Immigration Laws; Indemnification,” represents a straightforward piece of legislation: . . .
