A King and Two Princes "Shoot
For The Stars"
For Illegal Voting Privileges
By Paul Szemanczky
The Democratic mayor
of New Haven, CT, John DeStefano, has taken it upon
himself to show contempt for the United States Constitution and his state's
constitution by requesting in the upcoming legislative session in Hartford
"a resident voting rights bill" which will allow any resident of New
Haven -regardless of immigration status- to vote in that city's elections.
Currently one must be a citizen of the state and hence the United States to
vote in New Haven, but there are 13,000+ non-citizen immigrants living
currently in this nationally recognized 'Sanctuary City' who he wishes to
please and welcome into the citizenship role.
This bill to be
introduced in February, 2012, will be "about defining community and
re-defining responsibility in our community" DeStefano
said 12/13/11 at a press conference in front of Columbus Family Academy, a
dual-language inner city K-8 school.
It is TOTALLY about
asking the state legislature in Hartford to change voting eligibility for local
elections in New Haven to include non-citizens/illegal immigrants.
Had he not nearly
lost his mayoral race last November after a nearly two decades' run, DeStefano probably wouldn't be resorting to advocating
"un-American, unpatriotic, unacceptable and unlawful"
all-inclusiveness of undocumented aliens which he began in 2007 when he gave
out "immigrant-friendly municipal ID cards" so that it would be
easier for aliens to open bank accounts in New Haven county. During that time
some immigrants obtained drivers licenses in CT, and some fewer (from hundreds
to thousands) it is believed from having received the 2007 ID cards were able
to illegally vote in state elections last fall that gave Democratic Governor
Malloy and DeStefano questionable/recount (Malloy's
'fallacy in Bridgeport') victories. Currently eleven states issue drivers
licenses to illegal aliens.
Perhaps the stench of
a near-defeat, not surprisingly, led Governor Malloy to say in DeStefano's behalf (12/14/11 to NECN.com):
"It's not an
idea that I'm particularly comfortable with. I think there are obligations that
run with citizenship and there are privileges that run with citizenship."
However Malloy has a long record of always championing immigrant rights, and
certainly (in his quote) perceived DeStefano's action
as a positive, controversial attempt to raise a unionized plank of core civil
rights for a block of future supporters presently disenfranchised.
It was in one sense a
heroic celebration, or a subtopic of genius, that Malloy had to understate in a
clever and deceptive way DeStefano's sudden, public
announcement. This had to be more than a publicity stunt on DeStefano's
part, and a calm acquiescence by Malloy appears to be 'fragrantly agreed to in
the foyer' by both men. But it is obvious to every constitutional citizen in
the state of Connecticut that they have shown contempt for "voting
laws" whether in New Haven (DeStefano), or in
the 'State unions' arbitrary double-recounts by 15 bargaining units exploited
to its full-advantage by Malloy last summer. Malloy in fact relishes in
encouraging political allegiance to himself while castrating all legislative
branch opposition from both parties (including his own). His surrogate DeStefano spits in the face of traditional municipal
election laws that rest on two centuries of significant advancement of rights
for immigrants in New Haven.
Each cleverly washes
the other's hands in a baptism of liberalism that rinses with the dishpan of
Obama's wish to grant amnesty to approximately 20,000,000 aliens by next
November, so that the triad of fools can erect a chamber of extermination
fitting to tie Congress up in knots with 'the minor battles of 'near
budget-shutdowns'. A truly clever deception by DeStefano's
trial-ballon here is a kind of early trick to get a
vote on a bill in Hartford, the seat of the 'Sanctuary State', where the Blue
states' barometer for amnesty will be measured first. DeStefano's
sleight-of-hand renders the very concept of citizenship in this country
irrelevant by granting the full rights of citizenship to trespassers who have
no business being in this country in the first place. Malloy and Obama remain
nearly silent in the shadows, certainly measuring the opposition to see if any
political courage by CT Republicans will stop the mayor. It appears at this
point that the dismantling of New Haven's voting laws will certainly begin with
hardly a mutter next February in the state legislature.
Immigrants who are in
the U.S. legally or illegally and cannot vote now would still be unable to vote
in state or federal elections, DeStefano pleaded during his press conference.
He felt it was justification in New Haven: where the air is clean and free, and
the illegals are engaged in paying taxes and (sometimes) rent above and beyond
their Section 8-housing, their free medical, food stamps fed. and state,
*D-SNAP disaster food stamps (*which are centerpiece in a $14-million state
fraud investigation concerning Hurricane Irene), their free public schools with
child nutrition advocacy programs, their vouchers for homelessness, their aid
to families with dependents, their energy assistance, their supplemental food
programs, their legal aid assistance, their healthcare/emergency room care,
their Title XIX, and "other mostly undocumented immigrant citizenship
rights already in place" for five decades of failed social welfare
programs that HAVE BECOME PERMANENTLY-ENTRENCHED ENTITLEMENTS in the
model-sanctuary state of Connecticut.
It's no wonder I
heard on a radio news broadcast (12/16/11) that Connecticut is ranked number #2
for having the least skill and knowledge in its state agencies' employees at
detecting fraud in its misuse of federal funds for aggregate social programs.
The privilege of participating in a great democracy is not supposed to diminish
by a mayor's suggestion to change his city's voting laws, or a governor's
pleaded ignorance of his agencies' actions responsible for dispensing the
conglomerate citizens' tax revenues to non-citizens, or e.g. in the case of
Hurricane Irene recipients: those hundreds or thousands who fraudulently
received up to $1200.00 each in D-SNAP disaster funds for 'personal food losses
due to power losses' that never occurred.
The three-week old
D-SNAP investigation in CT already seems rigged, and the politicians in charge
of it continue to talk to CT-citizens as if we were barely literate. Much of
the stonewalling that now barely contains Attorney General's Holder 'Fast and
Furious' gun-slimming for drug info in Mexico, reeks of a nation -neither just
a state nor not just a foolish city mayor- who have all gone too far dragging
"every citizen of the United States, born or naturalized" through
their slime pits of lies and disrespect for our laws of equality based on the
majority rule in our states by the Constitution. The systematic dismantling of
the voting laws in New Haven proposed by its mayor is just one example of a
never-ending exertion to overwhelm Obama's conservative adversaries. The
geopolitics of this one issue are meant to extremely 'shock the other side',
and the two 'princes' ruling in CT are being indulged and granted adequate
media pressure and support by their 'king' Obama.
DE Stefano’s
statement that illegals "send their kids to New Haven schools...and should
be able to vote" is counterproductive to law and displays a 'pig-politician'
mentality that Obama has created with his three and a half years of vitriolic
class warfare which has become open warfare between Arizona's Mari Capo County
and Holder's Justice Department. Is it any surprise that the arrests of
illegals crossing the South-west border states has dropped from 1.6 million
(2000) to 327,000 (2011) reports The Washington Post in data released recently
by the Dept. of Homeland Security.
"The Obama
regime does not want our immigration laws enforced," said Judson Phillips,
founder of Tea Party Nation, as they've eliminated federal funding to Maricapo County for trying to protect itself
with consistent immigration-enforcement measures which Holder and Obama
discredit. The Supreme Court will test case this
states' rights issue next spring. Meanwhile, New Haven with between 10-15%
illegal immigrant population faces a demeaned status
in this deficit-ridden state of having the highest resurgent "illegal
households". According to the Center for Immigration Studies' report in
2010, these non-citizen households created a # fiscal deficit at the federal
level of $400 billion annually. What a stumbling prospect for all those living
in CT: one of the most deficit-ridden states with NY and HI, and the highest
taxed one as well.
The United States
welcomes thousands of foreign workers in multiple occupations or employment
categories every year. These include artists, researchers, information techs.,
engineers, countless medical professionals and scientists, athletes, nurses,
etc.
All foreign workers
must obtain permission to work legally in the U.S. Each employment category has
different requirements, conditions, and authorized periods of stay. The barely
literate and impoverished come here without documents and hide. The legally documented
ones must adhere to the terms of their application or petition for admission
and visa. Any violation should result in removal or denial of
re-entry into the U.S. Few of them decide to hide here. Most of the legals gratefully work and
return to their countries of origin. The illegals create a high demand
with a greater negative impact upon the economies of most of the states,
supplying 30% of the inmate population of all federal prisons, for instance.
They stay for generations; they melt the system down; they have strong
advocates like the mayor of New Haven who needs their votes in the future.
Is it any wonder that
they have to destroy the legal path to citizenship, the illegals? In the best
of possible worlds they would want one-party rule (which is what you have in
Connecticut) to pursue unlimited aims and alms, and never be influenced by the
inconvenience of a state or federal constitution of laws. They would want those
laws repealed by the one-party in control. They would want the King and all his
princes to put at rest the futile notions of traditional laws, to dismiss them
once and for all time. The courts could not judge the one-party in charge of
this measure, could not dare to stop them. The courts and the legislature would
be folded forever into obscurity. Any fragment of reluctance to do so initially
would be silenced by a threat, e.g. something much worse than an Al Sharpton or
Jesse Jackson demo; or an OWS encampment...something much worse in its
nausea... that even now is barely shrouded in fog.
