COMPREHENSIVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION REFORM JOKE #6: Delaying of E-VERIFY

"The Senate’s complex immigration bill would instantly gut the popular E-Verify system that is widely used to exclude illegal immigrants from jobs, and then create an enforcement gap for several years before the arrival of a replacement system.“There’s no doubt that the bill eliminates E-Verify immediately upon signing,” said Kris Kobach, secretary of state of Kansas"  -MORE HERE

If anything the E-Verify program should be one of the FIRST things that is up and running before anything else. But, that is what happens when a bill called Comprehensive Immigration Reform is written in a back room by immigration lawyers, unions and big business lobbyists and not the American people.

OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS GIVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS A FREE PASS!

Well, President Obama is off to the vacation to the enclave of the wealthy on Martha's Vineyard. how nice. But, those illegal immigrants hanging out in neighborhoods all over the United States:

Well, they are not going anywhere now that the Obama Administration is going to put  deportations of illegal immigrants in the case closed file. Hola sucker Americans!    Here is the money quote on how this plan from the Obama Administration works:

"The idea is set those cases aside... see where we can identify very low priorities, and essentially, administratively, close the case so they no longer clog the system," a senior administration official told reporters.

This is just another example of the "FAILURE IS AN OPTION" plans of President Obama and the Democrats in Congress.Think about that Americans.  The Federal Government has people who they have identified as having broken our immigration laws but, they are giving them a free pass and closing their cases just because they have not broken any laws. But, they have! They have broken our Federal immigration laws! 

 

Yes when it comes to enforcing Federal immigration laws Obama has a plan and it is:

VIVA ARIZONIA & THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION QUOTE OF THE DAY

The headlines in the papers today should read "Obama to Arizona: SCREW YOU!" Because thanks to the Obama administration and his Justice Department butt boy Eric Holder's lawsuit. The people of Arizona and most other states will continue to suffer the increased cost and problems of illegal immigration. But, the righteous quotes of the day belong the the heroic Governor of Arizona Jan Brewer: 

“For anyone willing to see it -- the crisis is as clear as is the federal government’s failure to address it."
 
"But the question still remains: will Washington do its job, and put an end to the daily operations of smugglers in our nation, or will the delays and sidesteps continue? I believe that the defenders of the rule of law will ultimately succeed with us in our demand for action.”

The only relief the court injunction against Arizona Law 1070 provides is the relief for the Federal Government to continue to FAIL the citizens of the United States when it comes to enforcing immigration laws. That is the outrage that many of us Americans feel.

TEACHING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO READ

The Arizona illegal immigration law is a real teaching moment for the country and a learning moment for members of the Obama Administration who criticize and testify against it but, have not read it. You can't make this stuff up. So let's have Froggy do some remedial tutoring  Homeland Security's Janet Napolitano, the Justice Department head Eric Holder and the State Department's John Morton shall we?

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION QUOTE OF THE DAY

"You can't have it both ways. Particularly coming from Mexico, a country where if you enter illegally it's a felony and you get up to two years in prison. And if you do it a second time, you get 10 years...So he's got a country which is extremely strict--draconian, if you like--about illegals entering into Mexico."

-Charles Krauthammer on Mexican President Phillip Calderon's hypocrisy on illegal immigration

DEMOCRATS STAND UP AGAINST THE RULE OF LAW!

You can't find a more indicting video than this one where the Democrats (including Vice President  Joe Biden) in Congress applaud the Hispanic Hypocrite of Mexico President Philip Calderon when he bashes the Arizona law that mimics the Federal Law while in his country the laws against illegal immigration are much more severe.
Someone needs to tell the Liberal Dems that they should be supporting communities in the U.S. that are trying to correct the failings of the Federal Government and not be applauding hypocritical heads of state like Mexico's Calderon.

Divided we have more debate and responsible government

The Washington Post has an article today about the argument some Republicans are using during there reelection campaign, That is one party rule would allow an unchecked government to run amok. There are even concerns among the Democrats that they could over reach in there legislation. Here are the money quotes:

"In both chambers, liberal stalwarts are eager to turn on the spigot for increased spending on health-care, housing and education programs."

Somebody needs to tell these liberals. It's not about spending it's about governing.

"Democrats will face an early test when it takes up the children's health insurance bill vetoed by President Bush, as one of the new Congress's first tasks next year. The legislation would offer coverage to an additional 4 million children and is being portrayed by Democrats as a first step toward fulfilling Obama's pledge to provide universal health care.
Liberal Democrats are expected to expand the program further, to include children of illegal immigrants. But Hoyer said that would be asking for too much, financially and politically. "

And the American people especially don't want there money to be spent on illegal immigrants who have broken our laws.

"You might be able to do big things that have been blocked by divided government," said David Rohde, a Duke University political scientist. "But the potential pitfall is you can overreach, alienate the opposition party and alienate independents -- sowing the seeds of your own destruction."

Very true. The danger is once the liberal Democrats get near the money they can't won't be able to stop spending it. Much like the Republicans in the recent past.

Obama pulling numbers out of his butt?

The mainstream political media is all over Scott McClellan's book on how the Bush administration lied to us about the Iraq war. Meanwhile, the corporate mainstream media seems to be ignoring Barrack Obama pulling stats out of his butt regarding hate crimes against Hispanics in his recent speeches. Mickey Kaus at Slate does a smackdown of Obama recent speeches and a look at the actual numbers. Here are some of the money quotes:
Where does Obama get that "hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year"--an alleged increase he blamed on "people like Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh ginning things up"?

A 35% increase over four years is not "doubled last year." (Never mind why the SPLC may have picked 2003 as their base of comparison ).

Am I missing some Obama data source? Or is this an overly overlooked incident of Obama pulling convenient facts out of the air? ...

Suppose John McCain had said the same thing! ... Er, actually, McCain probably will say the same thing. And he'll probably get a pass too. Who'd attack him for it? Obama? The Dobbs-deriding MSM? This is not an area where you can rely on the normal adversarial political process to yield the truth, because Obama, McCain and the MSM essentially agree on immigration. ...

Wups there it is! The truth on why the mainstream media is not looking to closely at what Obama is saying. Luckily, while Obama, McCain and La Raza try to kill the messengers the folks at the Lou Dobbs have a little something to share with Obama. and that is the facts:

Recession? What Recession?

I spent a few days in New York City last week and the restaurants were packed. No sign of recession there. But as blogger Deeply Imbedded points out that is not the view from the rest of the country. That is the great disconnect with most of the rest of the country on many issues like the recession and illegal immigration. Those in Washington and New York have to look hard to see it.

The stimulation and anger of the American voter

"In a Gallup poll last month, only 24 percent of Americans said they were satisfied with the state of the country -- one of the lowest readings ever recorded. And it's not just George W. Bush they're mad at. Public approval ratings for the Democratic-controlled Congress are even lower than the president's. According to a 2006 poll taken by my former firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates, 61 percent of voters say the two major parties are failing, and a survey last year by the Republican pollster Frank Luntz showed that 81 percent of voters would consider voting for an independent this year. "-Washington Post

I am not sure why voters like me are so angry. Despite paying taxes to the Federal Government to help protect the United States I still have hundreds of illegal immigrants standing around my neighborhood every morning. I have a choice of three "front running " candidates who look like they will not improve this situation. I pay my bills on time, paid off my school, home and credita cards. I pay as I go. But, even though the recently passed "stimulis" bill will give checks to most taxpayers and increase U.S. debt which I will also pay for. I will not be receiving a check. Here is the money quote:

"Voters today aren't just fed up with the status quo; they're furious."

Ya think?

Howard Dean makes me laugh!

I got an email from Howard Dean yesterday. It made me laugh. I guess since I am a registered Democrat I'm on his mailing list. Here are some of the Dr. Deans lines of mirth:

"Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney are done. John McCain will be the Republican nominee -- he's the only one with a reasonable path to the nomination."

So Dean admits the fix is is in even though the voting is not over. Where was Howard Dean during the 2000 election? Seems that was the Republican argument for stopping the recount. How soon they forget.

"John McCain is a media darling, but don't trust his carefully-crafted image - he's worked for years to brand himself. From Iraq to health care, Social Security to special interest tax cuts to ethics, he's promising nothing more than a third Bush term."

John McCain media darling? Now this was a real laugh! A media darling as opposed to say Barrack Obama or Hillary Clinton? As they say people in glass houses should not throw stones. I bet there a few broken windows at the Democratic National Commitee offices today.

"On immigration reform, he's run as far to the right as he can, aligning himself with the most extreme elements of the Republican Party."

This is the biggest laugh of all from Dean. Memo to Howard Dean those of us who follow this issue and see illegal immigrants standing around in our communities everyday remember it was called the McCain/Kennedy illegal immigrant amnesty bill. If you think McCain has gone to the right on the issue you are truly delusional and if you think having the Dems go to the left on the issue offering amnesty will win middle class taxpayers like myself. Think again.

Is Real ID a real problem? I don't think so.

The Washington Post has an article about how the Department of Homeland Security may be backing down on the Real ID program and pushing it's implementation back to 2018. Because some states are whining they can't take the time to really make sure the people getting a license are who they say they are. You can't make this stuff up. Here is the money quote:



"In 2005, Congress passed legislation mandating Real ID to standardize information that must be included on licenses, including a digital photograph, a signature and machine-readable features such as a bar code. Under the law, states also must verify applicants' citizenship status, check identity documents such as birth certificates, and cross-check information with other states and with Social Security, immigration and State Department databases. The new licenses must include features to thwart forgery and fraud, and drivers born after 1935 will have to present birth certificates or passports to obtain them. "



And the problem is? I wonder if any of the states that complain about the burden of complying have ever heard of computer technology? Businesses can find out almost instantly your credit history but, states are crying it's too much of a burden to find out if the individual requesting a license is actually who they say they are. Oh I forgot they are governmental organizations,

Hey Hillary Clinton! I got your shadow right here.

It appears that some in the mainstream media are finally waking up to the issue of illegal immigration. It was certainly highlighted as an issue that Clinton has been trying to avoid. At the Democratic debate her liberal mindset showed where her feelings on the issue are. They certainly are not with her constituents in New York State or in the rest of the country. So her campaign people are in full damage control mode:

"Senator Clinton supports governors like Governor Spitzer who believe they need such a measure to deal with the crisis caused by this administration's failure to pass comprehensive immigration reform. As President, her goal will be to pass comprehensive immigration reform that would make this unnecessary," the statement said. Campaign advisers, pressed to explain her view more clearly, said that she ultimately supports the driver's-license proposal." -Washington Post

Translation: Because George Bush and some of the Democrats had failed to push the Illegal Immigrant Amnesty Bill through the Senate against the wishes of the American people where she could have swept the illegal immigrant problem under the rug. She is now forced to side with Governor Spitzer because giving drivers licenses to illegals may allow for enough massive voter fraud allowing her and the Democratic party to win the elections.

Clinton and Spitzer keep blowing smoke on the issue with statements like that by giving licenses to illegal immigrants will allow them to "come out of the shadows":

Does this look like the illegal immigrants are hiding in the shadows Hillary?

What's next from Hillary Clinton? Perhaps Scrappleface has a tongue in cheek look at Clinton/Spitzers next big idea:

"2007-11-01) — As Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton continues to work round the clock with advisers to determine exactly how she feels about granting automobile driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, the Senator today announced she may support New York Gov. Elliot Spitzer’s new proposal to allow undocumented workers to receive airline transport pilot certification from the FAA, allowing them to fly commercial jets.
“Giving a pre-documented immigrant a license to fly a jumbo jet would certainly bring him out of the shadows,” said Sen. Clinton. “In addition, since the flight certificate requires fluency in English, it would inspire him to learn one of our nation’s most important languages. So there’s a big potential upside.”

Trick or treat? Spitzer's Halloween

Bringing Democrats out of the shadows.

In a New York Times article by LESLIE WAYNE which deals with the hidden agenda of the Democrats to register Hispanic voters. But, true to the liberal bias of the New York Times the article does not even mention the 800 pound gorilla in the country i.e. illegal immigrants at all in the entire article. While I am a registered Democrat I have this crazy notion that our elected officials should represent the wishes of the people. Though the actions of Dems like Eliot Spitzer to give drivers licenses to illegal immigrants seem to show the Dems have other ideas. It's not about representing the people it's about staying in power. Those two ideas are not the same. Here are the money quotes:

"At La Favorita, a Mexican grocery store here, there is plenty of food for sale — and also a new brand of politics.A handwritten sign, hanging over the door, proclaims in Spanish: “Wake up! Register to vote! It is the hour to unite and change our future, the future of our children — and the future of this country!”

I just wonder which country and whose future the Democrats are talking about here. It certainly seems it's not the middle class voters. Of course the Democrats are trying to hide their real political agenda from the citizens:

“Democratic strategists know that the Latino vote is their future,” said Hector Avalos, a professor and founder of the U.S. Latino Studies program at Iowa State University. “But they are having to handle this with kid gloves. They don’t want to anger native Iowans. But they know that there could potentially be millions of new voters nationwide. Democrats are sort of treading lightly, and trying to appease both sides.”

When the the Democrats like the illegal immigrants try to hide their real agenda and continue to ignore the wishes of the people. They do so at their own peril. I also think the temptation to commit voter fraud by the Democrats using the illegal immigrant population in their thirst for political power is a very real possibility. This is not just a threat to the Republicans but, a threat to our Democracy and everyone should be concerned about that no matter what party you are with.

Why is Hillary Clinton pandering to illegal immigrants?

Seems Hillary Clinton is not worried about what is good for America. She is only doing what she and her advisers think will be good to get her elected. As her advisor Mark Penn blabbed to a British magazine:

"Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist, Mark Penn, told a British magazine last week that illegal immigrants “may be the most powerful political force in the country.”"- National Review

Obviously the Clinton Campaign thinks they can win by just pandering to the illegal immigrants. Somebody had better tell her that it's the American citizens who are the ones who can legally vote. But, as the NR points out that her quotes and positions may come back to haunt her:

"The problem for Penn is that meeting the demands of the elites who claim to speak for immigrants —amnesty for illegals, ever-looser enforcement, increased legal immigration — holds the real potential to radicalize Americans, making immigration a much higher-saliency issue than it usually is — and that’s not a micro-trend.”

Yes, there's that little problem of the American voter that Hillary will have to answer to. Her record speaks for its self and on illegal immigration Hillary is not speaking for the American people and voters.

A Spector is rising on illegal immigration.

Just when I thought that the Senate might have gotten the message from the American on what to do about illegal immigration. Along comes Republican Senator Arlen Spector with "a new plan". According to The Hill Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.), who accompanied President Bush (this is always a bad sign) Thursday ( on his visit to Pennsylvania, said he has spoken to Bush and the two Cabinet members who have led immigration talks about his new bill. Here are some of the money quotes:

But he would leave intact the family reunification standard that this spring’s defunct immigration bill partially replaced with a skills-based system

That's moving the country forward Senator Spector. Just what this country needs allowing more low wage uneducated workers to bring their families in to the country instead of giving priority to those with the skills needed to help America keep it's edge in the technological world.

The lone change in the status of the 12 million, Specter said, would be removing their status as fugitives from justice, an attempt to diminish their incentive to remain outside the system and in fear of deportation.

Why not just say it Senator. It's another AMNESTY!

Specter added that he already has met with “stakeholders” from outside groups involved in the complex immigration debate, and he plans to hold more sit-downs next week. Offering green cards to immigrants seeking employment in the high-tech industry is under consideration, he said.

Stakeholders Senator? How about the American people. Looks like its time to send Senator Byron Dorgon to have a little chat with Senator Spector to remind him who the real "stakeholders" are..

Thank you Democrats. May I have another...

As part of their campaign to soothe an anxious middle class, congressional Democrats are preparing legislation that would significantly expand federal aid to the most obvious victims of the global economy: workers whose jobs move offshore or are lost to foreign imports.
Under a Senate bill to be introduced today, computer programmers, call-center staffers and other service-sector workers who make up the vast majority of the nation's workforce would for the first time be eligible for a generous package of income, health and retraining benefits currently reserved for manufacturing workers who lose their jobs to international trade.-Washington Post

It seems the Democrats are offering an oxygen mask to the middle class workers who get kicked in the ass and to the side by globalization. That is until the air tank runs out. Then what? These workers will still have school taxes to pay. While the Democrats can pat themselves on the back for this limited form of life support. Meanwhile they continue to harm the middle class taxpayers by siding with George Bush and allowing rampant illegal immigration to continue in middle class communities. By not protecting our borders and enforcing current immigration laws the costs of illegal immigration will continue to be subsidized by these same middle class taxpayers that the Democrats are pretending to help. There is a train wreck coming and it looks like well intentioned though misguided Democrats are at the controls.
