I knew that things like Solyndra, Fast & Furious, Lightsquare, and other Obama failures would not be mentioned at the State of the Union Speech. What I didn’t know is if the issue of amnesty (aka comprehensive immigration reform) would be brought up. Putting a path to legal status has been politically, a failure almost every time it has been tried. In 2005, Governor Mike Huckabee and liberal state legislator Joyce Elliott attempted to pass in-state tuition for the children of illegal aliens (HB1525). Even though it has massive support from big agriculture, the media, and members of both parties, HB1525 was blocked by the will of the people and grassroots activist groups like Keeparkansaslegal, a group created for the purpose of defeating HB1525.
National efforts to pass a DREAM Act have also been defeated despite being supported by politicians such as Barack Obama, Orin Hatch, John McCain, and other hispanderers. McCain/Kennedy was also a failure, as was an attempt to pass a DREAM Act during the Obama/Democrat Congress. Only with an Executive Order, has Obama managed to implement a DREAM Act lite. Despite the losing streak of supporting a path to legal status, Obama advocated yet another amnesty by saying, “Let's also remember that hundreds of thousands of talented, hardworking students in this country face another challenge: The fact that they aren't yet American citizens. Many were brought here as small children, are American through and through, yet they live every day with the threat of deportation.”
Missouri, Oklahoma, Georgia, and recently Alabama passed immigration reform bills that have led to massive amounts self-deportation. Despite attempts by leftist to ignore and then mock self-deportation, the idea has worked for years and worked even better when President Harry Truman passed Attrition and Enforcement Legislation in 1954. What the media calls impossible, was done before the age of computers and DHS! Self-Deportation or Amnesty-Lite, the elections will soon decide.
