If you weren’t listening to Mark Levin’s radio show last night, you missed an awesome caller; one Jonathon Dunne of Dublin, Ireland [@JonathonDunne13] ➡
[You can catch the audio HERE, at YoungPatriots.com – where Dunne writes a column]
 
Wow! If all the illegal immigrants in this country shared Jonathon’s respect for America’s founders, and his love of our founding principles, we’d be welcoming them with open arms. He knows more about this country’s history than most U.S.-born high school graduates from the last couple decades. And he shares the frustration we conservatives have with the dysfunctional bunch of corruptocrats in D.C.. Especially with regard to our broken border/immigration system ~

I personally have a massive problem with granting an illegal worker a permanent visa because America has laws and those laws need to be respected. The biggest issue, to me, is the fact that 11 million people will skip the line in front of people like me who have waited 9 years to get a visa… and still waiting. To put that number in perspective, the American government awards 50,000 DV visas every year. I could wait a lifetime and still never get to achieve my dream, but someone who has broken the law gets to live the dream every day.
 
While (Senator) Rubio insists that we will all be on the same level, the law of possession will come into play. Does anyone really believe that the US government is going to deport someone illegal just so I can come into the country? That will never work.
 
The other issue I addressed on Levin’s show was the message conservatives need to communicate going forward. Republicans like John McCain keep saying Republicans need this reform to win another election. THEY ARE WRONG. Three little words will lead to a win: THE AMERICAN DREAM!
When was the last time you heard this mentioned? The country where if you worked hard, you could become anything you wanted and could achieve anything. No one could stop you or get in the way.
 
The answer to tyranny is not less tyranny – its Liberty and Freedom.
 
Reagan summed up my feelings about America perfectly in his “Time for Choosing” speech in 1964, where he told the story of a Cuban talking to two Americans, telling them everything he ran away from. The two Americans looked at each other and realized how lucky they were. But the Cuban insisted he was the lucky one because he had somewhere to run to…..
 
For me, while I don’t face the same oppression or anything like it, I still long for the American Dream and I hope and pray every day that I will get the chance to achieve it.

 
While the empty suits in Congress bloviate about yet another useless piece of immigration/amnesty legislation, Americans-in-waiting like Jonathan, who’ve been following the legal path to citizenship for years, only become more and more frustrated. There are some 4.6 million like him worldwide who have applied for legal immigration, still waiting…
 
 

Yet all the federal government apparently cares about are the 11 million* who snuck in the back door. (*Is it just me or does “11 million” sound about 50% less than it was last time we had this conversation??)
 
Jonathan, and his fellow conservatives here in America and abroad, still believe in the rule of law. The illegals clearly don’t. And sadly, Congress doesn’t either.
 

Michelle Malkin – in her post about immigration today – is right: Amnesty gang to law-abiders: You’re chumps!

We liberty-loving, honest, hardworking, responsible conservative-types? We are the chumps. But without us, and without young people like Jonathan Dunne to keep it alive, the American Dream will die out altogether.
 
We the Chumps are really We the Patriots. And We will just have to continue standing up to the Left so that that Dream will still be there to inspire future generations.
