So, my friends, just when you thought you had all the reasons that you needed not to support this "Gang of Eight" immigration/amnesty legislation, along comes yet another nutty Democrat who is proposing an even nuttier amendment. It seems that on this past Wednesday, Sen. Brian Schatz, a Democrat who hales from Hawaii, that liberal island paradise which, according to Barry, is part of Asia, filed an amendment for the immigration bill that would actually allow stateless people in the U.S. to seek conditional lawful status if their nations have been made uninhabitable by...climate change. Hey Marco, you going along with this lunacy too? Probably, nothing would surprise me at this point!
As it currently stands, the Senate’s immigration bill now being debated already recognizes that people who come to the U.S. may have no country to return to for a variety of reasons and allows them to come forward to apply for legal status as a stateless person. About the only cause for displacement that seems to have remained overlooked in the current law is how the effects of mythical "climate change" has caused people to lose their homes and their nationality. So our enterprising senator from Hawaii has attempted to rectify that obvious little oversight. Making the claim that climate change is not some "abstract challenge," but is already displacing people across the world, Schatz explained:
"The amendment I am proposing is quite simple. If enacted, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, may designate individuals or a group of individuals displaced permanently by climate change as stateless persons.
Again, let me be clear about what this amendment does. It simply recognizes that climate change, like war, is one of the most significant contributors to homelessness in the world. And like with states torn apart and made uninhabitable by war, we have an obligation not to deport people back to a country made uninhabitable by sea level rise and other extreme environmental changes that render these states desolate. It does not grant any individual or group of individuals outside the United States with any new status or avenue for seeking asylum in the United States."
If you choose to believe those environmental extremists who insist upon perpetuating that which has been proven to be bogus more times than I care to count, it was during last year alone that more than 32 million people all across the globe who were supposedly forced to flee from their homes because of climate-related disasters. If you believe that then I have some prime oceanfront property in Arizona that I can let you have real cheap, and I'll even throw in this bridge I own in New York City. We are told that we can expect this climate refugee problem to only grow significantly worse. Theories that foretell of all manner of doom and gloom abound. There's just one thing wrong, it just ain't so!
We're continually told by these climate change alarmists that climate’s impact reach further than just the rise in sea levels, which, they claim, already threatens the very existence of certain islands like Kiribati and the Marshall Islands. And we're also told how agriculture could be made to fail on entire continents as a result of what they call climate-induced desertification. This is the level of insanity that we get from those who identify themselves as being experts in the area of climate change. All an expert is, really, is nothing more than a drip under pressure. Anyway, and this is the sort of pure bullshit that this moron Schatz bases the need for his amendment to what is already an insane piece of legislation.
Supposedly, Schatz’s amendment also requires a federal study of the impact of climate change has on 'internal migration' within the U.S., an issue that is said to affect his home state of Hawaii. The Pacific Islands Regional Climate Assessment (PIRCA) has noted that in the short term Hawaii will see increased likelihood of coastal flooding and erosion, while "mounting threats" to food, water, infrastructure and safety will eventually cause people to migrate from low-lying islands to high. For those unfamiliar with PIRCA it is yet another little work of climate change propaganda essentially put together with the assistance of over 100 scientific 'experts' and practitioners of the climate change religion. It's BUNK!
So I guess my point here is that while we cannot have an amendment that actually deals specifically with the tightening of border security, we do have time to seriously discuss an amendment that is pretty far removed from reality. And I'm pretty sure that there are more than enough Democrats, and maybe even some Republicans, in the senate who would be more than willing to vote for Schatz's idiotic amendment. Which brings me back to my previous question. Is this, too, something that Marco Rubio is now willing to support in an effort to get his amnesty legislation passed? I mean, up to this point he's been pretty willing to go along with just about anything. Enjoy your one term Marco, it'll be your last!
Just one last thing. Suppose the Democrats are right, that Republicans, by voting against this thing, are cutting their own political throats and that for decades to come will be made to walk the political wilderness because Hispanics will desert them in droves. Well I tell ya what, if that does come to pass at least we went down to defeat standing for something. It's not much, but it's something. And another thing, in about five years, assuming Hitlery gets elected in 2016, when this entire country implodes, I wonder how many of those folks now here illegally will be headed back to their homeland? Because the sad fact is, their little gravy train here ain't got that much track left. And maybe that's what's needed anyway.
