RUSH: From the Associated Press: "President Obama described immigration on Tuesday as the nation's oldest tradition and part of what makes the country exceptional, as he sought to draw a contrast with those who would seal the borders to people seeking to escape hardships or persecution."
The headline: "Obama Says Immigrants Renew America: US Is a Welcoming Nation." It's kind of odd, too, isn't it, because don't most leftists like Obama like to condemn the arrival of "the white man" in the New World? I mean, that wasn't welcomed.
That, they don't think made America great. That, they think is what's responsible for everything that's wrong here, is "white Europeans" arriving on our shores. "Obama spoke at the National Archives Museum, where immigrants from Iraq, Ethiopia, Uganda and 22 other nations were sworn in as US citizens. He spoke from a lectern placed in front of the display of the Constitution. He said the nation's first refugees were the pilgrims and that eight signers of the Declaration of Independence were immigrants."
Now, we talked about this yesterday, that Obama is drawing the... He had a bunch of Syrian refugees that he's welcoming to the country, and he drew a moral equivalence to the Syrian refugees and the Pilgrims. If you read down to the bottom of the article you find Obama... He couldn't refrain, he couldn't stop blaming America again. Quote, "Obama also said the United States has often not lived up to its values as a welcoming nation. He recited the history of slaves and the treatment of immigrants from Ireland, China and elsewhere as examples. ... 'We betrayed not only our fellow Americans, but our deepest values. We betrayed these values. It's happened before... How quickly we forget.'"
Right.
And how quickly we forget that Obama himself suspended the Iraqi refugee program.
