Handouts and Hands Out

Republicans expressing consternation (h/t: Drudge) that illegal immigrants might be receiving bailout money in the latest government "stimulus" must have misunderstood last week's memo. Since we have promised to be a nation that holds its hand out "[t]o those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent", why not give a handout to deceitful law-breakers whose only shortcoming is that they don't have any power to hold on to? After all, since they've stopped protesting vacuous threats that our laws will actually be enforced, illegals have quietly unclenched their fists. What more could we ask for?
