   This administration won’t willingly enforce immigration laws because enforcement works against its agenda. And for the most part, current lack of enforcement already provides de facto amnesty.

   If good people do not act now the nation is doomed.

   might postpone the most contentious piece of an immigration overhaul until after midterm elections next November.

   This is because the left (as well as the open borders crowd of RINO’s) know that after the mid-term election their is no guarnatee they will have the votes to enact this kind of legislation.

   When Obama “promised” national healthcare won’t cover illegal aliens (and Joe Wilson yelled “You lie!”) he was actually being truthful. By the time Obamacare is enacted, he’ll make sure there are no illegal aliens by giving them all amnesty.

   Semi-OT

   Obama’s 2010 State of the Union speech to be about deficit reduction.

   That isn’t a joke.

   I’m sure Obama’s definition of deficit reduction will be based on comparison to the current growth baseline, and after Porkulus, that shouldn’t be hard to beat.

   And to Demonrats, deficit reduction means massive tax hikes and gutting the military.

    The tough pathway is only applied to immigrants we really want here who do it the right way. And that pathway isn’t necessarily fair either.

    Amnesty to the Demonrats is all about shifting this nation from a Center-Right country (which it still is, Obama had to flat out lie and run as a moderate to win) to a Center-Left to Left leaning country, and adding 20 or 40 million new citizens, many dependent on public assistance, most from a country that had a one party quasi-socialist system for almost the entire 20th Century, is the way to do it.

    Deep down, the Demonrats know the truth. That is why they always lie to get elected. Look at NY 23. The Demonrat was opposed to the public option, Marxist Medicine. Supposedly, than promptly voted for it.

    The whole concept of the Blue Dogs is based on a lie.

    Only the Demonrats from gay Meccas, loony left college towns or ghetto hellholes can be honest when running for office.

    There is always a chance, however slim, that politics will change and somebody will choose to enforce the current laws….meaning, illegals will be gone…..once there is real amnesty they are 100% sure to never leave, along with the bizillions of relatives, friends and additional border jumpers amnesty always creates.

    The litmus test for the amnesty crowd, especially McCain:

    How many days do they allow for the FBI and HHS to conduct background criminal checks and health checks on illegal aliens before automatically granting them permanent legal residency by default?

    2006 – 90 calendar days

    2007 – McCain, et al changed this to ONE BUSINESS DAY.

    Plenty of time to run checks on 12 to 30 million invaders, huh??

    If ILLEGALS are not sent home by April 1, 2010 they will be counted in the 2010 census.

    The ILLEGALS won’t be able to vote (yet), but by being in the US they will impact the numbers that determine Congressional representation.

    As a result Sanctuary cities, like San Francisco, will effectively be stealing Congressional representation from areas with smaller populations.

    We must dry up all of the employment options for ILLEGALS so they leave before April 1.

    Well, the Obama Administration seems to have a “tough but fair way” to deal with tax-cheats. Of course, that is largely accomplished by giving them posts in the administration…

    This country needs 12 million more unemployed people drawing “free” health care.

    And don’t forget the 120,000 H1B visas that are coming into the country every month while unemployment soars past 10.2%!

    They have no intention of securing the borders. This problem won’t end until every last human from south of the border has migrated north. And we will get the privilege of paying for their unemployment benefits and health care. And we will be called racists by the government and the illegal immigrants while we pay for them…

    This is what the Obama Administration calls “participative democracy.”

    The “fair” way to legal status is to visit your local American Embassy or Consular Office abroad and ask about opportunities to immigrate to America.

    It is decidedly NOT FAIR just to cross the border, suck taxpayer dollars out of the economy, call Americans racist, imperialists, and demand we “return” large segments of the nation to another nation, and then demand we pay you while you agitate against our nation.

    Somebody really needs to look up a definition for the word “fair.”

    12M my *ss. I gurantee you it will be 30+M when all is said and done. Then comes chain migration of around 3 per illegal granted amensty (that was the estimated chain migration numbers after the 1986 amnesty). We will add 100M 3rd world peasants in a decade. Then of course more illegals.

    Hey nappytano, you useless pos, enforce the laws on the books. Embark on a policy of ATTRTITION THROUGH ENFORCEMENT and there is no need for amnesty. We treid amensty once and didn’t work, what will make it work this time? We heard all the same BS last time. Shed the PC crap and do your job. Oh and BTW, granting amnesty then simply increasing the number of legal immigrants (to elimiante the need to come illegally) is not a solution. Most Americans don’t believe we need more immigrants. We are drowning in immigrants. I can’t walk into any store now and not hear 3 or 4 different languages. ENOUGH!!! The border is not secure no matter how many times you say it is and it never will be because you don’t have the b*lls to enforce it. NO AMNESTY!!! Just how many freaking times do we need to tell you guys that? If amensty passes, say goodbye to the US. Almost any BS legislation obummer passes can be undone. Amensty can’t which is why it is so dangerous. It is permanent and will break the back of this once prosperous nation.
