It's just adorable how when the issue is illegally spying on every American citizen the Republicans don't care so much about obeying the law. But when the issue changes to brown people bending the law simply because they want a better life for themselves and their families, suddenly the law becomes paramount.
First there's this gem from Bush last night:
We're a nation of laws, and we must enforce our laws.Oh that's such a pre September 11 mentality.
Then this from a House Republican upset at Bush's amnesty proposal for Latino immigrants:
"Thinly veiled attempts to promote amnesty cannot be tolerated,' said Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga. "While America is a nation of immigrants, we are also a nation of laws, and rewarding those who break our laws not only dishonors the hard work of those who came here legally but does nothing to fix our current situation."A nation of laws. Wow. Wonder how Congressman Price feels about Bush breaking the law in order to spy on American citizens? Let's just Google him and find out:
Congressman Tom Price said the eavesdropping covered only non-citizens talking to suspected terrorists overseas. He said that’s different from monitoring innocent Americans talking to each other.Oops.
“Had he not done this, and something had happened, you and the rest of the world would be clamoring,” Price said.
