The Conflict Within Barack Hussein Obama

At a fundraiser on Thursday, May 22, 2008, Barack Hussein Obama utilized his bully pulpit to attack two notable opponents of illegal immigration, Rush Limbaugh and Lou Dobbs.

Accusing both of xenophobia, Mr. Obama, further attributed an alleged rise in hate crimes against Hispanics to the ideology of both Mr. Limbaugh and Mr. Dobbs. I think this needs to be examined and exposed for what it is, demagoguery and race baiting.

It is now no secret that Mr. Obama is an “Open Borders” candidate who wants illegals here and NOW, no matter if these immigrants are being victimized, not only by their own government, but by United States employers who hire them.

First, they are economic refugees, driven here by a government who views them, with a “good riddance” attitude, as surplus population which needs to flee over the U.S. Border. A border which has provided Mexico with a built in safety valve, venting the steam of revolution, for many decades. Secondly, they face unspeakable atrocities, when they come to the United States, by unscrupulous employers who deprive them of the most basic worker's rights that U.S. citizens take for granted. Rights such as Worker's Compensation, equality in the work place (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964), FLSA and all the other State and Federal workplace rules that make working bearable. They simply do not apply to illegal aliens because employers can “turn them in” to the Immigration and Naturalization Service and claim that they didn't know about their immigration status. Then, they are victimized by a society who can continue to commit illegal acts against them due to their inability and fear to report these acts for fear of deportation.

What the open borders folks, such as Mr. Obama, want is to create a permanent underclass of cheap, disenfranchised labor and second-class citizens. While this “new-slavery” should be repugnant to Mr. Obama, it seems to come as second nature to the party who vehemently opposed Civil Rights in the 1960s and left the Republicans to fight and win the “Title VII” victory for African-Americans.

It is little wonder that the Republican Party is the party of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr..
