Cal Thomas: “The cab driver taking me to the Washington Nationals baseball game on July 4 is from Bangladesh. I ask him how he got here. He said his father ‘won the immigration lottery’ some years back, was admitted under U.S. immigration law and eventually became a citizen, as did his son. He is proud to be an American and said after he dropped me off he was going to a traditional Fourth of July party to celebrate America’s independence. Those are the kinds of immigrants America should welcome. … At a July 4 White House naturalization ceremony for more than two dozen foreign-born service members, President Obama said welcoming people to America is ‘central to our way of life.’ No, what is central to our way of life is the Constitution, which protects our freedoms. Historically, we have conditionally granted under the law a safe haven for those ‘yearning to breathe free.’ There is no constitutional right for anyone to come to America, or become a citizen. … The one promise President Obama is keeping is to ‘fundamentally transform the United States of America.’ He is transforming the country by flooding it with illegal immigrants that will result in creation of a new permanent underclass beholden to government and thus the party of government, the Democrats.”
