OPINION:
Like most socialists, Hillary Rodham Clinton considers illegal entry across our borders migration where folks just wander around the planet like locusts, feeding, destroying and moving on (“Hillary Clinton rejects Bill’s immigration crackdown, vows lenient approach,” Web, May 4). Of course Mrs. Clinton does not want these particular “locusts” to move on.
She states, as a policy, her belief that all illegals should be made into American citizens — but only in time for the 2016 election. She supports her leftist beliefs by stating that if we make 20 million illegals, citizens, that it would provide jobs for everyone. No economist (or anyone, for that matter, above a third-grade education level) would ever agree to such a statement with a straight face.
What Mrs. Clinton really proclaims with the subtlety of a root canal is that the only jobs available for these 20 million illegals are those of professional voters being supported by the legal American citizen and our valued legal guests. At present we legal Americans shell out over $500 billion a year in Marxist freebies provided by President Obama and his administration.
America needs to clearly understand that socialism has been a dismal failure wherever it has reared its ugly head. Nazis were socialists; Marxists were socialists; fascists are socialists; communists are socialists; the Islamic State is made up of socialists, and for sure Mr. Obama’s Democratic Party is made up of many socialists. In World War II socialism cost the world 60 million lives. Vote the wrong way in 2016 and socialism will cost the world the United States.
