The ONLY Question About Immigration Reform That Matters...
Boston Herald ^ | January 30, 2013 | Michael Graham

Posted on 01/30/2013 2:21:25 AM PST by suspects

There is one question, and only one question, that you should ask President Obama or U.S. Sen. John McCain about their amnesty — sorry, their “pathway to citizenship” — immigration reform proposals:

If every illegal immigrant were granted instant citizenship this Monday, what would happen to the illegal immigrant who slips across the border on Tuesday?

We all know the answer already: Nothing.

Everything you’re hearing in both Obama and Senate proposals about “heightened border security” and “unmanned drones” is three-card-Monte stuff. Obama, who helped kill an immigration reform deal in 2007 authored by U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, isn’t interested in enforcing immigration laws equally and fairly. He’s interested in winning political support from Hispanic voters — or more importantly, driving a wedge between those voters and the GOP. That’s it.

Yes, Obama is right that we’re doing a better job than ever catching would-be illegal aliens at the border. That’s not where the action is, and he knows it.

As long as there are employers willing to hire illegal immigrants, the desperate and poor of other countries will make their way here — or in some tragic cases, die trying. The enforcement that works is workplace enforcement: deporting undocumented workers and punishing the businesses who hire them.

Not surprisingly, this is the enforcement that Obama and other liberals adamantly oppose. Worse, it’s the kind of enforcement that amnesty advocates label as “racist.”

Remember the 2007 raid on the New Bedford factory where hundreds of illegal immigrants worked, in flagrant violation of the law? When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement finally acted, they were denounced by Gov. Deval Patrick and other advocates. Patrick called the enforcement — not the hundreds of Americans denied jobs, but the enforcement of the law — “a human tragedy.”

Is the belief that immigration enforcement...

Not necessarily...

CONFIRMED: Feds Ordered Not to Arrest Illegals Coming From Mexico

Immigration agents sue to stop Obama’s non-deportation policy

The Border Patrol and ICE have been ordered to stop arresting illegal aliens in order to artificially lower the statistics and give the appearance that the borders crossings have diminished.

The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF not only is trying to grant other ILLEGALS U.S.Citizenship,
but he's trying to grant HIMSELF U.S. CITIZENSHIP.

This disgusting Curse on our Nation named Barack Hussein Obama II, aka Barry Soetoro, has a real birth certificate, with his right footprint on it.
All you have to do is look for it.

Here's some critical sources and FACTS.
People can go to www.scribd.com and read their pages 20 thru 32 ,
For those of you who don't know, remember this:
8 Congressional attempts from June 2004 to February 2008 to alter Article II Section 1 Clause 5 of the US Constitution, proves to meRead it for yourself.
Then look at these links.
Just before the 2008 election Barack Obama's election team spent $1.4 million blocking access to all of Obama's records.

Barack Hussein Obama II is UNCONSTITUTIONALLY QUALIFIED.
There were 8 attempts by Democrats to try to "Change the Qualification Rules" BEFORE Obama was elected.
They KNOW Obama's ILLEGAL ... AND .... UNQUALIFIED!

Obama's record is hard to find.
Check this link out Sunday, June 27, 2004 Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate.

This document from the British National Archives Show Son Born To Obama Sr. in 1961 In Kenya


shows a birth date of Aug 4, 1961, the exact date of genuine birth certificate with Obama's right foot print on it.

This IS the very document that links the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF to his birth certificate.

Let me say again: Think about this.
Here's something to ponder. Now think about those facts,and statements.
The forgeries I'm aware of, are the three Birth Cretificate Barack Hussein Obama II has forged.
I don't trust evidence put forth by Obama supporters.
The disappearance of too much evidence on Obama is strong enough for me to know that he was born in Kenya.

Read INS DOC FOUND: U.S. CERTIFICATE ISSUED TO ONE EAST AFRICAN-BORN CHILD OF U.S. CITIZEN IN 1961!
The documents provided in that article are very damaging to Obama, and well worth your time.

Most of these early "supporters" of the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF were party to the Communists "spooks".
There's a great volume of history you have to go through to understand this, and it goes back to about 1850.

Read these three articles on one of my earlier post:


Now go back and read The Communist Takeover Of America - 45 Declared Goals.

Are you getting the depth of this Fabian Society takeover?

You wouldn't believe the information here

It's deep, it's ugly, and most people WILL NOT ... CAN NOT ... accept the truth.

Anybody recall a press release telling the masses about federal intelligence notes sent warning police about this cabal?

Democrats and RINOS
GOD DENIERS AND CONGENITAL LIARS

When is the treatment of American citizens in Mexico and their rights vs US treatment of Mexicans going to be an issue when we discuss amnesty ?

Ever hear of reciprocal aggrements ? These are arranged to protect the rights of American citizens working or living in other countries. What happend to believing in national sovereignty ?

Why is it when it comes to citizens of other countries we are required to offer them the same privledges as we do to US citizens? But when it comes to US citizens who get in trouble or attempt to do business in other countries they do not get the same treatment their citizens get.

Americans can’t own coast land in Mexico. And get no title to it elsewhere. If they run out of cash they’ll get unceremoniously sent back or put in jail untill some relative comes up with the “fresh”. That’s just for starters as for granting them voting privledges yea let’s give Mexican citizens that right when American citizens vote in their elections

That’s the fundamental question. The bill needs teeth that punish states and Sanctuary Cities as well.

Take ‘path to voting’ off the table and Dems will scream.

All this enforcement talk by Rubio and McCain is to just distract us from the ‘path to voting’ that Dems demand and these RINOs caved early on.

“That Darn Obama doesnt want to protect the borders. Thanks goodness we have Rubia to stand up to him”

Dont be fooled!

The stupid party could be taking on the government party by running advertising, “They won’t let you join or raise up in a union and now they want lower waged immigrants, who live 20 to a house, taking your jobs too...hey sucker, who is getting ripped off? The working man and the man of color, once the backbone of America, now the dustbin of workers.” !! (oh wait both parties and the WSJ, Chamber of Commerce etc. etc. are for the same system - we are all suckers.)

IN THEORY, I agree, but we have a President who will NEVER sign up to lift one finger to try to find the illegals let alone deport them.

So where does that leave us? Current law already says to enforce border security, but we already know that BOTH Parties have ignored this for whatever political reasons. So, now, we have the Senate discussing ANOTHER immigration bill which supposedly REQUIRES border enforcement prior to being signed? And who is going to be the gage as to whether the border is closed? Obama? Napolitano? McCain?

And on the other hand, we have the issue winning future elections. The GOP is in serious trouble because they are lost in the woods platform-wise. So, here they are trying to recover some semblance of credibility with a voting bloc. They are gambling that if they seem reasonable on an immigration plan, they may gain some of these voters.

So, let's say that this bill gets signed in the Senate and Boehner & CO. sign it as well. Where does that leave the Conservatives in this country?
