In response to Bill of Attainder posted by Migisi:
What I can't understand is the government's willingness to grant rights to illegal immigrants - while at the same time they willingly take away the rights of US citizens. Makes no sense.
.
Sure it does. Granting rights to illegal aliens appeals to America's image of generosity and compassion--"Give me your tired, your poor . . . " We instantly associate this with the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and America-The-Land-of-Opportunity.
.
Its the "sugar" politicians hope will persuade us to swallow the bitter pill of having our rights stripped away.
.
peace and love,
