The monster returns

By Paul J Cella
In a suitably appropriate gesture, the Plutocracy’s immigration bill rises again with a bribe. The immigration bill is revived, and all it took was $4.4 billion in promised funds. As if funding was the cause of the popular revolt against the Dispossession Bill. We have heard a conjecture still more appropriate for the Plutocracy: namely, that the design of the amnesty, and the source its urgency, is to undermine state and local enforcement efforts. Not content to usurp the sovereignty of the Federal Union by calculated negligence, the Plutocracy prepares now to subvert the Several States — many of which, despairing of Federal enforcement of our territorial integrity, have endeavored to do so themselves. The radicalism of this project is breathtaking in its scope. It unites the principled anti-American Left, which sees any notion of American national identity as a mere nativist oppression, with the corporatist Right, for which national identity is but another form of currency, a means of exchange. And there is always gain to be had in the inflation of a currency. In short the Plutocracy which contrives our dispossession is, like all plutocracies, an aristocracy of wealth and privilege which aims at plunder. Today it stands poised to brush aside the haggard ranks of the people themselves like some servile nuisance. Your national laws mean nothing, it decrees, for we will not enforce them with any vigor; and your state and locals laws will be deprived of vigor, if not simply rendered null and void. What will be left of the Republic, once she has been taught so brazen a lesson of subjection and contempt?

Today at a National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast a prominent senator spoke of supernatural intervention. Now as it happens, this senator is not one generally given to such invocations; but today the architects of our dispossession have cause for rejoicing indeed. “I think all of your groups here were praying, perhaps, that wisdom would come to the United States Senate. And those prayers were answered.â€
