Wes Pruden notes a little item hidden out of sight in the Senate immigration bill:
One provision tucked away in the fine print would grant an immigration visa to any woman or orphan anywhere in the world who is “at risk of harm” because of age or sex. The critics of the president’s amnesty fiesta thought they were kidding when they said the president and the Senate wanted to grant citizenship once and for all to everyone in the world.
It seems that when Dear Jorge said that when someone is hurting, government has to act, he wasn’t only referring to Americans. I hear there’s a ten year-old girl in Tibet who stubbed her toe yesterday, surely the administration will be seeking to grant her a visa and welfare benefits tomorrow.
This provision would also logically grant immigration rights to every single widow and female fetus in India.
Hey, 12 million, 300 million, whatever, bring them all in. Why not? It’s party time and we’ve got the helicopter money to pay for it, thanks to a little invention that Ben Bernanke likes to call the printing press. And if oil prices keep climbing, everyone can keep warm this winter with 10 pregnant Hindi-speaking women huddled together in their homes.
