Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee is an old nursery rhyme about two dimbulbs
arguing ridiculous points of view about irrelevant issues. For some strange reason
it popped into my head when I saw Barack Obama and his White House Mafia
standing to applaud Mexico's idiot president Felipe Calderon as he presumed to
tell America what laws to pass and how to enforce them.
What was wrong with this picture is that Obama and Calderon are eloquently
discussing a problem neither of them is doing anything to fix. We are talking, of
course, about the unending flood of Mexican citizens illegally crossing the U.S.
borders, living here in violation of the law, committing additional and ongoing
criminal acts to perpetuate their fraud and costing U.S. taxpayers billions in
education, healthcare and law enforcement dollars to meet their inexhaustible
needs.
Calderon, if he really had U.S. interests at heart, should be discouraging his
citizens from violating our borders. Instead, he encourages them, arguing for
the mythical "right of migration" as though the violation of American national
sovereignty was a Mexican birthright. Obama, on the other hand, should do
the job to which he was elected and "provide for the national defense" by
securing the borders against illegal invaders, however passionate their self-
justification. Instead he steadfastly refuses to deploy the national guard to the
border, passes the buck to congress (which he has already admitted doesn't
have the stomach for it) and leads the cheering section for the king of the
narco-sewers while he castigates Americans. (By the way, if anyone wants
to know what Democrats stand for, watch clips of Calderon's speech to
congress and you'll see them all standing and applauding Calderon).
Obama apparently thinks that if he ignores the problem long enough, congress
will be forced to pass an amesty for illegals already in the country, something
he is already on the record saying he wants. (He's already counting their votes).
Now Arizona has upset his applecart with their new law, and his choices are
(a) to challenge it in court, which will make him more unpopular and embarrass
him when he loses; (b) order Homeland Security to stop cooperating with Arizona,
which could lead to calls for his impeachment, or (c) give in and send troops to
the border with orders to clean latrines and count illegals as they cross. Any of
those outcomes would be fine with Calderon, whom he is much more eager to
please than Americans who voted for him.
The Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee in the nursery rhyme proposed to fight a
battle with one another over a spoiled new rattle. The current two dimbulbs
propose to wage war around illegal immigration on American taxpayers and
an American state. How much more would it take to lock Obama away
as an enemy combatant? And how much would it cost to hire a "coyote" to
smuggle Calderon back to Mexico crammed in the back of a U-Haul?
