DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP IN THE SENATE- AP Photo
While the activists and the rest of America are waiting for the next move by the Obama Administration on Immigration Reform, some twenty million illegal aliens are quietly waiting at the back door for amnesty. Foolish? Never happen? Think again.
President Obama and the Pelosi-Reid-Emmanuel cartel are about to get spanked on healthcare. They handled this like rank amateurs, which of course at least one of them is. They haven’t a clue what the American people really want nor do they care as they are blinded by their own visions of a social democracy fantasy-land where America no longer leads but follows. Trouble is, we’re following n the footsteps of those who have already failed at social democracy and national healthcare. Nice plan.
No, the healthcare initiative is not going well. If it does pass, it will look nothing like its proponents’ envisioned. Is it likely that fresh on the heals of this defeat, the President and Congress would stick their collective necks out once again to be sized up by the public for a silver platter? I think not.
For one thing, we're coming up on an election year and Harry Reid is in the fight for his political life in Nevada. So is Barbara Boxer in California where she may be facing formidable opponent and former CEO of HP Carly Firoina. None are going to want to raise the hackles of public dissent at least until after the elections are over. From the other side of this however, If they do not get what they want now, the door may shut for a long time. They may have to act, just not politically.
So as the activists on both sides of the debate gird their loins, shine their shields and sharpen their pencils and swords, the Administration is instead skillfully de-fanging the Department of Homeland Security and preparing to address Immigration Reform not as a part of the political process but as a bureaucratic one.
According to a well placed Homeland Security Administrator (who obviously prefers to remain anonymous), the wheels of deceit are already in motion as orders are out to scuttle ICE raids of companies hiring illegal workers, remove key elements of 287G policies, which give local law enforcement the ability to arrest illegal aliens, and to set the stage for the processing of millions of illegal immigrants as newly minted American citizens.
“The plan is to incrementally remove all obstacles for immigration reform without a public debate.” The confidential source said. “Amnesty is a 100% done deal already,” he added.
Not so fast.
Aren’t the American people supposed to weigh in on this through their elected representatives; a public that today is some 75% against amnesty? Well that would be true if the administration actually intended to have a public debate this time. By all accounts…they do not. Or if they have one at all it will be so convoluted that most will be waiting for the other shoe to drop, which it will…on the back stoop.
Here is what you need to watch for in the coming weeks and months. Executive Orders and departmental pronouncements that limit the ability for law enforcement to do its job and a re-tasking of Federal Agents and bureaucrats to other “more important” duties like protecting MEXICO from evil American citizens with guns. Don’t underestimate Executive Orders. As Clinton advisor Paul Begala once said about them: "Stroke of the pen…law of the land…kinda cool." The Obama Administration is rife with Clintonista’s who made circling around a Republican Congress an art form.
Watch for the pieces of the immigration reform puzzle to be presented to congress incrementally as amendments that seemingly get tough on illegal immigration only to have their teeth pulled out once they are law through administrative procedures. Excellent programs like E-verify may sail through only to be disassembled by bureaucrats. Other amendments will get passed by voice vote (so no one can claim responsibility) to appease the right and then bury them or dramatically alter them in committee.
Rumor has it the President has taken to doing magic tricks in his spare time. The sleight of hand skills required will serve him well in the coming months. Read every word of every bill and scrutinize the Amendments closely. Each time something having to so with immigration comes before Congress, call your Representative and tell them what you think. Let them know you are paying attention. Shut down the Senate switchboard once again if you have to. Do it every day. Use excellent free fax tools like those at NumbersUSA.com and throw them a few bucks if you can. I have gotten a written response from every legislator I have ever faxed. Someone reads them.
So the next few months should be interesting. Pundits on the left and right are now suggesting that Immigration Reform has already eclipsed Healthcare in the public spotlight. More than 130 immigration reform advocates met at the White House last week to strategize. Many are funded in one way or another with your tax dollars. They are preparing for a robust public debate.
Or are they?

Of all the states that--SHOULD--be using E-Verify, is the illegal immigrant sanctuary state of California. Illegal immigration attributed to the near bankruptcy of California and is a prime example of intentionally ignoring immigration laws.
GET RAW ANSWERS AT NUMBERSUSA Contact those in WASHINGTON! NO MORE AMNESTIES. USE ATTRITION TO DEPORT ILLEGAL WORKERS THROUGH E-VERIFY, 287 G, NO MATCH SOCIAL SECURITY LETTERS AND LIGHTENING ICE RAIDS. CONTACT YOUR POLITICIAN 202-224-3121 AND DEMAND NO WEAKENING OF CURRENT 1986 (IRCA) OTHER SITES FOR INFORMATION IS HERITAGE FOUNDATION, JUDICIAL WATCH.
7. Why did Sen. Harry Reid, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other members of the party try to dismantle E-Verify and under fund the border fence, so it was only a single layer instead of two tiers?
8 That E-Verification is working and working well, so no wonder the US Chamber of Commerce, ACLU, Cato Institute and a large majority of anti-sovereignty groups have been involved in lawsuits, and questionable appeasement by politicians to kill the any enforcement laws.
9. Why are we still inviting around a million new immigrants a year, when their are about 15 million jobless Americans? My health care experience was mainly in England, Germany and 15 months in Australia and prior to the mass European immigration invasion was positively first class. FIRST CLASS AND EXEMPLARY! THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS RATIONING?
4 For decades American taxpayers have been supporting, business welfare, who have never contributed to foreign national workers. That emergency hospitals, must attend any foreign person who enters its doors, illegal or legal? ICE should be on standby and demand who that individual is working for and subsequently make the employer pay instead of the taxpayers.
5. That Democrats are downplaying that the 20 plus illegal immigrant families living here, will not have access to the health care reform package? But are not saying that if a new path to citizenship is enacted, they can automatically get health care?
6. Should a new immigration reform package is passed, what's stopping millions more poor, uneducated people storming the border.
An ominous pattern is slowly emerging towards an inevitable power play on pushing another amnesty through Congress. We need to take the many consequences into consideration:
1 We already had an enforceable 1986 law to stop the illegal immigrant invasion of our country, but it has been intentionally ignored? So--WHY--are they adamant in passing another immigration law?
2. Most enforcement legislation has been crushed or weakened by many of the politicians we voted into office.
3. That many of our own government members have pandered to the special interest lobbyists and not voters.
Carl & Brittanicus, do you guys work for John Tanton?
Just think... I remember the days when the three of us fighting the illegal aliens were sort of tossed off the board once a week. We might finish a fifteen year fight if we are vigilant and smart.
One thing we could all do that would help a lot would be this: La Raza is getting a lot of money from the foundations that support them in the still of the night. If we could start at the top and start embarrassing them for NOT providing equal money to the pro immigration law folks, we might shake some war chest money loose. Go to google, and ask for La Raza supporters. You want the one that tells you it is from the Minnesota guys.
Excellent analysis, Carl. Working with NUSA, and others on this issue has been uniquely gratifying. Nevertheless, like you, I wonder whether the same tactics will work against our President and Chief Community Extremist Organizer (PC/CEO).
I've been advising for a long time that even a loud minority holding a majority view may not prevail without a change in strategy; one that engages socialist leaders like our PC/CEO with the same community organizing strategies and tactics. It may be, in this chess game for America's soul, that "check" is the best we can hope for in this round. Sadly, if that's the outcome, it really will be checkmate by the PC/CEO and crew. It will be 'game over' as the swell of 'immigration' of the past 30 years, and the tsunami that will inevitably follow in numbers and growth of new 'citizens' will be to overwhelming to stop.
The financial impact will be devastating; adding tens of trillions of dollars to our current $60-$100+ trillion in unfunded liabilit
This article sucks. Is a whole bunch of BS.
"Stroke of the pen…law of the land…kinda cool." ...What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Executive orders were used as the number one tool by the Bush administration to deface the constitution and erode civil rights. Now Democrats can skillfully use them to attempt to at least partially undo the irreparable harm done by the former Administration.
Enough with American paranoia. Immigration hate groups better watch it 'cause pretty soon there will be more visa openings than there are immigrants to fill them. Who will do do our dirty work and advance technology then?
"Foreign Admits to U.S. Grad Schools Plunge": Business Week, August 20, 2009
Our attitudes toward foreigners, and sadly, even toward many Americans, paint a picture of a chubby chick dressed in sexy clothes who thinks she's the s*&t. Meanwhile, everyone smiles to her face and laughs behind her back. Let's keep shooting ourselves in the foot!
Well written Carl, let me add one point... The health care plan is in the tank because the people are practicing there right to a true democracy, not being "unAmerican" by doing so in the words of the whench of the house. But my point is health care effects everyone and look at what the people can do! Immigration effects those who live in border states AND everyone else, but the direct hit on those who are non border is not in there face so they do not activley get involved or speak out the way they are now. They need to be made aware and educated so that they can make there educated decesion, regardless where it stands.
Your article is a joke. Where do you get your poll information? I'm sure you got your polls from your KKK Nazi organization. Good luck with that. LOL Your nazi movement is a totally dying cause for loosers like you.
In case you missed the point of my preceding post...
Translation: No, not everyone dreams of coming here anymore. And, no, by many objective standards, we're not the 'best country in the world' anymore. Case in point: We spend the most nominally and as percent of GDP for healthcare per capita, yet we are number 50 in descending order on the CIA world factbook life expectancy rankings.

racist trolls are out WATCH OUT.
Defense of the United States is up to the citizen, when the government abandons us and won't uphold our laws, we have no choice. A very dangerous situation is developing. Allowing us to be invaded by illegal aliens has been tragic. Many now may suffer because of grave lack of enforcement of immigration law.
A very dangerous civil situation is developing in the United States. People will eventually rebel when the government forces wrongs upon us, like abandoning our defense, allowing the nation to be invaded by illegal aliens, who take away jobs, and increase the cost of health care and suck county, state, federal and local taxes for their consumption.
The DNC and the Government seem to be waging war upon citizens, by championing spending ever larger illegal spending without the consent of the American people, for unwanted social and energy spending. Deport all illegal aliens! Stop the cancer, and defeat the Obama administration's fiscal destruction!
yeah.. yeah... yeah.. whatever trailer trash talk. You need to go find a real job because you are definitely NOT fit to write articles for a newspaper.
Hola, por favor translate article to spanol, cannot understand inglesh. I demand article in spanish tooo
The backlash against the open borders anarchists has been swift and strong and it will only get worse for the criminal invaders and mexican smugglers. Illegal aliens have worn out their welcome. Hasta la Vista. No mas illegals!
racists!!!!
Foreign nationals need to respect United States’ sovereignty and expect punishment for disrespecting immigration laws. Rewards should never be given for breaking laws. Every responsible parent knows this simple concept.
for briansdca; yeah illegals break the law looking for a better opportunity to come to your country but is that any different from what americans do?? what about the american that travel to juarez to pay 13 year old girls for sex? or immigration officers that get bribed by smuglers? or what do you say about cia agents sent to all these coutries to bribe politicians so they can destroy economies like brazil,panama,guatemala,chile,mexico? etc.. so your country can get rich of their oil and of their poverty, with all due respect for the american nation do not judge these people that deserve human rights just because they broke 1 single rule which is coming here like any of your ancestors did! illegaly! weather you like it or not they have all the rights! but racism and discrimination is rotting this nation and it is paying the price already.

Look, if Americans allow the amnesty of millions upon millions of people who have never been invited to this nation in the first place, then we get everything we deserve when it happens. These politicians will sell out the American public in a heartbeat, bad economy or not. The Democratic Party is already as socialist as a political party can possibly be. All they believe in is Centralized Power, the individual is meaningless to them, and only a tool to their insatiable need for power. Just look at these goons, Reid, Pelosi, Dean, Hoyer, Boxer, Feinstein, etc.etc. Power hungry people. America will never change with people that are greedy and seek their own personal power. We have to stop electing this type of individual.
On Sunday, April 19, 2009, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary JANET NAPOLITANO went on CNN’s “State of the Union” and proclaimed that crossing the border is NOT a crime.

Human League, why then has amnesty after amnesty been defeated by enraged Americans?

Big-City Police Chiefs Urge Congress to pass "Comprehensive Immigration Reform"
www.nytimes.com/2009/07/02/us/02florida.html?_r=1
Janet Napolitano is a traitor, that's why. Crossing the border is NOT a crime, WHAT IS A CRIME IS STAYING AND WORKING IN THE NATION ILLEGALY. Title 8, Section 1325 of the United States Immigration Law Code, says it's illegal, against the law for anyone to house, transport, or facilitate the stay of an illegal foreign national within the borders of the U.S.
@ Bobby;
Because the right wing hate mongers have gotten in the way...but they only represent about 30% of the electorate.
They are a vocal minority.
Now, you answer my question(s);
If Americans do not support "comprehensive immigration reform", why did they elect Barack Obama as US President given that he ran on just that platform?
If GOP voters didn't endorse "comprehensive immigration reform", why did they nominate John McCain as their standard bearer (who ran on "comprehensive immigration reform")?
Why didn't GOP voters nominate Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee or any of the other immigration flame throwers?
How did Obama win? ACORN
BRAVO! well written! TRUTH AT LAST!
Our Government, past & present, Republican & Democrat, have allowed the invasion of 20 to 40 million criminals and uneducated peons which is the largest invasion of any Nation, at any time, by any means & in direct violation of Article IV, Section IV of our Constitution.
This refusal to abide by our Constitution or enforce our Immigration Laws should be classified as Treason of the most foul kind, & as grounds for impeachment & trials for Treason!
Not only have they allowed the invasion, they force American tax payers to pay Billions on Billions of dollars to provide Welfare, Prison cells, Educate the invaders numerous children, and free medical care , at the same time the invading horde break numerous laws and massive document fraud, & are destroying ourschools, hospitals, communities, culture and standard of living while Robbing, Raping, Killing & Assaulting American Citizens! WAKE UP!
ya'll racist
theres NOTHING racist about the LAW! LOL the lows you guys will turn to to get out of the LAW! its the LAW! and nothing but the LAW! you set foot across the border, you broke the LAW! you need to go back! end of story!
Mid-term elections are coming up. Let's make sure that every pro-illegal supporter is voted out. Then let's keep up the town hall meetings and show them we don't want to hand over citizenship to those who've already dishonored our laws. These people bring a criminal mindset that they seem to be born with and will certainly not turn into model citizens when the magic wand is waved.
you suck!
You show me your stats and I'll show you mine (data can be manipulated for the "Master" any way one wishes). Too much crime from a particular group, just stop counting the the crime from that group...easy fix! As far as why the stupid American people voted for McCain, I would love to know the answer to that question as Romney was kicking his butt until one magical day when McCain suddenly took the lead...hummm.
Racists? Is that the best you can do? You can never debate without calling someone a racist. Someone disagrees with you, you call them a racist. It's the oldest trick in the book.
I have strong opinions about this but for the first time in my life (not to quote Michele Obama) I'm afraid of my country (little different.) I know people who oppose Obama are being watched closely and well at 63, I can't afford to let my opinions send me to jail or be harrassed by the government into poverty. I wish things were different. My Grandson will never see college (his last 2 years) in Ca. We (the state and the people in it) are broke and a lot of it can be directly assigned to the billions we have wasted on illegals but we are expected to buck up and pay more money that many of us just don't have. I hope it changes but I doubt it. I'll keep my stronger opinons to myself.
Not going to happen.
Next issue, please?
Maybe we can have some of the these fine, Leftists write for this guy? You know, the ones who write for some of the finest newspapers in our country? The ones who can't keep their own politics out of the crap they write and then call it news? The ones who work for papers that are losing readers left and right? Oh but wait, that's because of the "Internet". Throw in a Harvard or a Yale title so that everyone can see how smart they are and we're on!
When it comes to common sense and reality, Ivy league graduates are some of the dumbest people on this planet. Maybe just not common sense...when you think about it, they weren't too good on fiscal policy either :(
Cheers!
Yet another disgusting hate-piece by an angry good'ole boy. Join the club alongside Senator Jeff Sessions, Tom Tancredo, Lou Dobbs, Michael Savage. Bunch of angry old white males who speak for all other angry old white males who blame their failures in life on THE OTHER, whether it is the jews, blacks, immigrants. Too bad racism always loses in America.
A comprehensive immigration reform with path to citizenship for hard-working immigrants is a matter of when, not if. And it is the right and humane thing to do. You lost, Billy Bob, get over it!
Illegal immigrants & their children make up 29 percent of our local, state & federal prisons at a cost of $2.2 billion annually. (Source: www.cis.org)
The costs, according to Edwin Rubenstein, National Research Center, 2008 report, showed unlawful immigration costing American taxpayers $346 billion annually across 15 federal agencies.
In California nearly 3 million illegal immigrants cost taxpayers nearly $9 billion each year, according to a report released last week by the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a Washington, D.C.-based group.
42 BILLION TAX FREE US dollars are exported every year to Latin America from illegal workers sending money to their homes south of the border. (source: WSt. Journal)
I am not a racist or a liberal... This isn't about brown, black, white or any other color. This IS about law & anarchy. This IS about incentive & deterrent. This IS about right and wrong.
This is about America...our home is being overtaken by another country. Nob
How about the "Hate" coming from Liberals? There's not a more angry, hateful group than liberals. Or the hate coming from hispanics who attack blacks and whites over nothing more than race? Or that many hispanics feel that California is "their land" and they will reclaim it and throw everyone out? Or a group that calls themselves "The Race". "For our race, everything, for everyone else, nothing" Who's the racist? All immigrants are not "hard working" and it's not humane to reward people who broke the law with citizenship to the best country on this planet. They need to wait their turn and earn their place. The lifeboat is full. Illegal and mass Legal immigration has destroyed our schools, infrastructure, environment, hospitals and just about everything else. Instead of bringing immigrants up to a better standard, we've brought everyone else down to their level...our society can continue like that. Read your history!
I love these open border amnesty freaks that believe they get to choose which laws they want to break. Some call them anarchists. They are the ones willing to throw 13 million of American children living in poverty(that's 18% of ALL American children) under the bus along with 15 million unemployed American workers looking for jobs to feed and shelter their families, 15 more million underemployed American workers trying to make ends meet with part time jobs and 140,000 American veterans(men and women) that will be homeless tonight. But these jerks want amnesty for the 12 to 20 million lawbreaking illegal aliens that have invaded and colonized our land. Eight million of these illegal aliens hold American jobs obtained illegally in an unholy alliance with greedy criminal employers. So the amnesty freaks, left wing nuts and rightwing nuts are willing to let our children go hungry, workers lose all and the homeless crawl under card board boxes as long as we give amnesty to lawbreakers.
Some reform will happen whether it is a piecemeal deal or a comprehensive one. It is just a matter of time. We can all argue back and forth, and we have heard both sides a million times. However, no one is removing 10M people out of this country. Just not happening.
The few racist white people here need to simmer down. Lou Dobbs needs to let everyone know that his wife is a Mexican and he has 2 kids born of a Mexican woman. I can already see some of the you white old men googling him now! Yes, live and learn you bigots.
To all you angry Republican old white men...if the Native Indians had guns you would all be Socialists in Europe and most of you would be in England with bad teeth getting a** rammed by the dear old queen. Be grateful for this country and be welcoming to others.
FACT: American overwhelmingly oppose "comprehensive immigration reform" a/k/a mass amnesty. Rasmussen just released a poll that shows 70% of Americans support border control over pathway amnesty. 80% oppose health coverage for illegals. Do not believe flawed push polls from agenda-driven media sources such as the New York Times.
FACT: One of the big reasons why McCain was able to win the GOP nomination was his deceptive supposed "toughness" on border security & illegal immigration. For example, he flooded the California airwaves with tough-sounding ads about border security right before this primary. After he won Calif., Romney had to drop out. Those of us who pay attention knew that McCain hadn't changed his pro-amnesty stance at all.
FACT: Similarly, pro-amnesty Obama was able to neutralize this issue by spouting much of the same pablum, knowing how unpopular CIR amnesty is. He (and many other Dems) won primarily because of the tanked economy.
Rather than whining for another amnesty, the pro-illegal alien crowd should grow a spine, return and fight to make their (corrupt, broken) OWN countries a better place -- rather than again asking middle class Americans to susbsidize them further.
FACT: "Rasmussen" a right winged biased pollster.
Always on Fox news. Ofcourse they are against immig. reform.
For all of you hate mongers against this reform get some background on the issue don't just sit at your computer and think how you can blame the immigrants because you didn't the Job or your son and daughter didn't get into college well first maybe because you didn't get a job is because you don't like to for it and second you kids are not getting into college because either they don't want or they don't have the grades to and hey according to statistics there more american citizens in jail than illegals look it up domt look up immigrant no look illegal immigrants in jail. You're whinning about how we spend billions every year on illegals but hey this has been going for centuries and no one complained about but the second it's ressecion make illegals and immigrants the scape goats learn from your mistake and go do something with your life ( and yea I'm a U.S born citizen for all the people who are going to try to say other wise)
