Amnesty is sneaking back into the Dem’s agenda. But why now?
Monday, Nov 16, 2009
On Nov, 13th, head of Home Land Security Janet Napolitano addressed the issue of immigration reform (amnesty for illegal aliens) at the progressive socialist think tank Center for American Progress. In her speech, she listed all the reasons why immigration reform is so necessary at this time. Among those reasons, was the need to beef up the ability of the government to prevent the flow of illegal immigrants from entering the country; while at the same time, protecting those same illegals from the hazards they face when trying to come into the U.S. illegally.
This resurgence of the amnesty push seems strange; considering, the last time I checked, the flow of illegal aliens was heading out of the country, due to the lack of work and poor economy. Further more, Napolitano’s reasoning that immigration reform is vital to allow law enforcement to deal with this problem, seems pretty disingenuous; considering, she recently told Arizona’s Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to stop enforcing current immigration laws.
OK, most of us know that Napolitano is just another surrogate for Barack Obama; but, why push for amnesty when the illegals that are genuinely here to work, are leaving? Let’s face it, if the workers all go back to Mexico, all that will be left are the criminal gangs like ms-13, and those who find our welfare systems to their liking.
Obviously, the gangs aren’t going to sign up for the amnesty program; so, that only leaves the illegals that don’t really care if they work or not and this will place an even greater burden on states that are already financially struggling. So, what value is there in immigration reform under these conditions?
The answer is simple: more Democrat voters. That’s the only answer that makes any sense. And, with Obama’s and Congress’ approval ratings tanking more every day, they are going to need all the help they can get to stay in power, in 2010 and 2012.
Obama and Pelosi both promised America transparency, and that’s about all they have delivered, so far. I don’t know about you; but, all this transparency just pisses me off and gives me a headache.
