America isn’t quite bankrupt yet. How else could our rulers waste what’s left of our money while gloatingly rubbing our faces in the fact that moonbats are in charge? Here’s an idea:

Shy of her first anniversary on the federal bench, an Obama-appointed judge known for promoting “racial tolerance” [i.e., very special treatment for all but Caucasians] has ordered U.S. taxpayers to provide criminally convicted immigrants with “diminished mental capacities” lawyers to fight deportation.

The ruling is believed to be the first ordering government-financed legal representation in an immigration case. Foreign nationals embroiled in deportation proceedings must pay for their own attorney, unlike criminal defendants who get court-appointed lawyers — financed by American taxpayers — as part of due process when they can’t afford it.

In this case a southern California federal judge, Dolly Gee, ruled that two area immigrants who are “mentally disabled” must be given lawyers to fight deportation. The men, ages 48 and 29, are currently represented by a pair of liberal civil rights groups that claim people with mental disabilities cannot get a fair hearing without representation in immigration court.

Obviously there is no shortage of people with mental disabilities in this country, or Obama wouldn’t be in a position to appoint judges to misrule us. Yet the authorities bend over backwards to import more cretins — while legitimate immigrants are forced to wait years. These two will be prize additions to the massive new underclass Democrats are deliberately creating so they can farm it for votes:

The older man man, Guillermo Gomez-Sanchez, has various criminal convictions and served part of a two-year prison sentence before being released on bail. Among his offenses are battery against a police officer and assault. The younger man, Jose Franco-Gonzalez, completed a prison sentence for assault with a deadly weapon and his immigrant rights attorney claims he’s “moderately retarded” and doesn’t know his birth date or how to tell time.

There was a time when we expected immigrants to this country to have some likelihood of making a positive contribution. But that was back when America was governed by people who meant it well.
