Planned lawsuit by the Administration
|
Posted on Jul 01 2008
Various opinions have been asserted against suing the federal government on the recently approved labor and immigration laws.
Uppermost in the shallow rationalizations given is the need to guard ruining the working relationship between the two governments.
There’s no disputing the plenary powers of the U.S. Congress to enact any piece of legislation. But if the two provisions of law would render 126 local labor and immigration employees basically jobless, where does the good working relationship begin? Are we supposed to swallow this destructive omission and watch our people nailed on their cross?
The new laws will strangle sustainable economic growth and displace our friends from near and far in five years’ time. Has the assertion to guard a good working relationship been redefined to mean acquiescing economic annihilation and devastation? Where has your sense of purpose and integrity gone?
If I may remind my friends: The Covenant agreement provides for collective leadership to ensure that through this agreement there’s provided a “higher standard of living” for the indigenous people of these isles. Where did we miss the boat? Hello, anybody home?
The new impositions have satisfied the ego of our detractors but failed long and wide to protect a deteriorating economy that continues to roller coaster Deep South.
Finally, I am a nationalist by sentiment. Therefore, the sentiment inherent in the planned lawsuit against the federal government truly represents my views in granting indigenous posterity their rights to strengthening our democratic institutions over the long term. This is their right and must be fully safeguarded by those who think of their leadership role worthy of the trust and confidence granted them from their people.
