Obama's Immigration Legacy Will Be The Juxtaposition Of His Serial Insistence That He Was Not A King Or An Emperor, And Could Not Contravene The Constitution By Granting A Blanket Amnesty, With His Efforts To Do Just That When It Was No Longer Politically Inexpedient.

Taking On All At Once Germany, Japan, And Italy - Diverse Enemies All - Did Not Require The Weeding Out Of All The Fascists And Their Supporters In Mexico, Argentina, Eastern Europe, And The Arab World. Instead, Those In Jackboots And Armbands Worldwide Quietly Stowed All Their Emblems Away As Organized Fascism Died On The Vine Once The Roots Were Torn Out In Berlin, Rome, And Tokyo. So Too Will The Terrorists, Once Their Sanctuaries And Capital Shrivel Up - As Is Happening As We Speak.

Western Elites - The Beneficiaries Of 60 Years Of Peace And Prosperity Achieved By The Sacrifices To Defeat Fascism And Communism - Are Unhappy In Their Late Middle Age, And Show Little Gratitude For, Or Any Idea About, What Gave Them Such Latitude.
