Obama in 2005: "We all agree on the need to better secure the border, and to punish employers who chose to hire illegal immigrants. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected."

Here's a reminder of a statement by Obama back in 2005 on the subject of illegal immigration which perfectly exposes the hypocrisy of the left.



"We all agree on the need to better secure the border, and to punish employers who chose to hire illegal immigrants. We are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States, but those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law, and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law.

We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.

So, that's why we need to start by giving agencies charged with border security new technology, new facilities, and more people to stop, process and deport illegal immigrants."

Here's a question for democrats that I'd like to add.

Why do some democrats believe illegal aliens should be above the law?

American citizens are subject to the rule of law. Legal immigrants have to follow the established legal process. Why therefore should illegal aliens be exempt from following the law? Isn't that the definition of discrimination? Shouldn't all people be treated equally? If American citizens are subject to the rule of law, and if legal immigrants patiently follow the legal process, then it therefore follows that non-citizens should also be subject to the law.

No-one should be above the law. And anyone who believes the law should apply to some groups but not others is a discriminatory bigot.
