A recent column about illegal immigrants brought this note from Republican Bob Orr, the former Supreme Court associate justice who is running for the GOP nomination for governor. I meant to post his words last week. Orr opposes allowing illegal immigrants to enroll in higher ed here at any tuition rate, but he also notes that Congress has contributed to this problem by refusing to address the status of the children of illegal immigrants and resolve the problem by outlining how they could apply for citizenship.
Here’s what Orr had to say:
“While I don’t think it’s right to allow illegals into the system (no different that allowing a driver’s license or the right to vote) the ultimate answer has to be left up to Congress. It serves no useful public purpose to let these kids go to community college or do anything else and have them subject to arrest and deportation at any moment. Congress needs to address the status of young people brought to this country illegally but who have graduated from our public high schools. It makes sense to allow them to jump to the front of the citizenship line but only Congress can make that decision.

For someone like Orr (who as a judge is part of the problem) to complain that new laws need to be written, is hypocritical. Especially since he is arguing that laws should be passed to make what judges currently rule easier to apply. Legislatures have consistently denied benefits to those here illegally, even though they too are controlled by lawyers. At least in the legislature the lawyers have to answer to the people. Orr is arguing that what judges want should be the law. In the interim judges keep ignoring the laws that are on the books, or calling them unconstitutional. Judges like Orr are the problem. I pray Orr does not become Governor. The legal community already controls the courts and the legislature. It would be a disaster to turn over the executive branch to these tyrants also.
I always heard something from my neighbor that he sometimes goes to the internet bar to play the game which will use him some hero gold，he usually can win a lot of hero online gold，then he let his friends all have some hero online money，his friends thank him very much for introducing them the hero money，they usually buy hero gold together.
