Senator Lawless


If some communities thought our nation's bank-robbery laws were unfair to bank robbers, should they be allowed to ignore the laws and provide sanctuary to robbers? A ridiculous proposition, reasonable people would say, but not too ridiculous for Sen. Christopher J. "1 Percent" Dodd when the context is illegal immigration.

In the televised debate Wednesday night, Democratic presidential candidates were asked whether they, if elected, would allow New Haven and other cities to continue to "ignore the federal law regarding the reporting of illegal immigrants and, in fact, provide sanctuary to (illegal) immigrants?" Sen. Dodd said until the nation enacts immigration laws more to his liking, illegals and the communities in which they live simply should ignore the ones in place. "If it means temporarily engaging in a sanctuary protection here, then so be it."

That's it? The nation is being overrun by illegals who flout our laws and Sen. Dodd's answer is "so be it"? So much for solemnly swearing to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

And in trying to pin the blame for the immigration mess on President Bush, Sen. Dodd shot himself squarely in the foot: "This was a failure of leadership again at the national level." Indeed, but Sen. Dodd has been in a national leadership position for more than a quarter century — 32 years if you count his time in the House — and thus perfectly positioned to implement "the kind of immigration laws that we frankly don't have on the books today." His manifest failure to achieve his goal speaks volumes about his leadership abilities, but his advocacy of premeditated lawlessness casts serious doubt on his fitness to continue as Connecticut senior senator.

Joe Lieberman isn't better.
I think Connecticut got the jackpot just like Florida.

Both Dodd and Lieberman are open borders zealots. Lieberman likes to pass himself off as a "moderate" due to his support of the Iraq War, but he is very liberal. Just wait to the illegals start overunning Connecticut (beyond Danbury), then we'll see if they sing a different tune.

Lieberman supports the war because of Israel, not because America.
