Observations
September 17, 2007
"Look at the immigration battle right now. We have about 13 million people who have been living in this country for years, raising their children, educating them, and there's actually an argument about whether they should be here. They are here, and they are a vital part of the American fabric." Bernard Shaw, Former CBS News Anchor
Four Reasons Latinos
Should Not Support President Obama
Deportations. President Obama's
administration has deported more than 1,000,000 people in three
years. The most ever by far.
Second Class Citizens. The
administration's S-Comm program has turned local police into an
instrument of terror against brown people.
Job Losses. The Obama
administration's employer audits (workplace raids renamed) are
costing more than ten thousand hard working Latino workers their
jobs every month.
Broken Promises. Candidate Obama
said: “ In my first one hundred days as President I will introduce
CIR (Comprehensive Immigration Reform)” The reality is that in his
first two years as president, when his party controlled both houses
of Congress, CIR was not introduced. The Dream Act was only voted
on in the Senate after the midterm election and was defeated because
four Democrat Senators voted against it.
Tell President Obama:
“Talk is Cheap”
“Hablar es Facil.”
President Reagan passed IRCA
in 1984 and more than two million undocumented immigrants started on
the road to citizenship.
President Bush introduced
CIR in 2006 that included amnesty and guest workers. It was defeated
in the then Democrat controlled House of Representatives.
President Obama said he would help immigrants and has done less than nothing.
Ask yourself: Who is playing
politics with immigration? Don't let Democrat politicians continue
to play politics with your lives.
Immigration reform remain an elusive idea. The Dream Act failed late in the Democrat Congress of 2010 when 4 Democrat Senators voted against it. Comprehensive Immigration reform has not been reintroduced since the plan proposed by George Bush in 2006 was soundly defeated. His plan included an amnesty and a guest worker program and was therefore opposed by both extremes. Now there is an attempt by Senator Marco Rubio to pass an incremental Dream Act that will almost certainly go nowhere. It is being opposed by Democrats who would rather have a campaign issue than help some of the young people who are suffering from these odd laws. And this mornings WSJ reported that two Senators are teaming up to try and get an expansion of the H1-B (skilled worker) Visa program added onto The Startup Act. It will probably be defeated because Democrat Senators want to make an expansion of skilled worker visas part of a broad overhaul of immigration laws.
If this sounds familiar it should. These are the same arguments and political manipulations that have been going on for the last twenty years. The only thing that has changed is the facts on the ground. The surge of immigrants from Mexico is almost over. The lower birthrate in the USA has changed the economics of immigration and a generation of young people have grown up in cities with multicultural, cosmopolitian populations. My prediction is that the days of immigration as a divisive political issue are coming to an end.
