Yep. And the sad thing is that this sort of policy is VERY hard to reverse. For example, let's say Cruz is elected president in 2016. (pause for applause)
Will Cruz be able to modify the various Orwellian "hate crime" laws now on the books? Not very likely.
The Ditch Turtle would have to straighten out the Laws. Fat (head) Chance...
He can undo executive orders with the stroke of a pen, of course. He can sign new ones without Congress. He can push and prod Congress to do the right things.
I’ve said it before, it could take 20 years of straight conservative rule to get a semblance of Constitutional government again.
But Cruz wants to increase legal immigration and guest worker programs. At least in the UK there is a political consensus among Labour, the Tories, and Liberal Democrats to reduce immigration from non-EU countries. Farage wants to go further by getting out of the EU so that the UK will not have to accept the free flow of labor within the EU. British jobs for British workers!!
Have hate crimes ever been challenged? Gone to SCOTUS?
You are too correct.
