Sometimes you feel like you're banging your head against a brick wall. Every time amnesty for illegal aliens is pushed, it gets shot down, primarily due to the fact that the American people do not want it. Yet, as soon as the last fight seems to end and we begin to focus on other issues, amnesty rears its ugly head again. It's bad enough that we have hordes of progressive liberal Democrats who want amnesty due to the fact that they'll instantly get millions and millions of new voters who will support them, but we are continually getting stabbed in the back by members of the Republican party that promote amnesty as well.
Yesterday, we had noted scholar and intellectual giant Joe Biden opine that the illegal aliens currently in our country are "already American citizens." Biden was addressing the US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce when he made these remarks. He said, "You know, eleven million people live in the shadows. I believe they're already American citizens. These people are just waiting, waiting for a chance to contribute fully. And by that standard, eleven million undocumented aliens are already Americans, in my view."
I really hate the lies being told here by Joe Biden. First, there are more than eleven million illegal immigrants in our land. Second, many illegal aliens come to the US for a free ride and have no interest in contributing fully. Just look at the economic situation of the border states and you'll find that their social services are overwhelmed by illegals. If an illegal alien somehow pays income taxes, they use someone else's identity and commit fraud by doing so. The Congressional Budget Office has said repeatedly that amnesty will lead to lower wages for American workers, which is why groups like the US Chamber of Commerce, Facebook, and other business groups want it so as to keep labor as cheap as possible. It seems that illegal aliens are eligible for all kinds of government aid that normal citizens cannot get. I was going over the ObamaCare website this week and found that I make so little money that I was not eligible for any assistance. (I do not have health insurance, so I have resigned myself to paying the fine.) I was told to check out my state's medicaid program, which I did. There I discovered the joy of finding out not only that I'm totally ineligible, but, if I was an illegal alien, I could get it for life saving emergencies. Now I've paid taxes all my life, but the Obama economy has destroyed me. Yet an illegal alien is fully eligible for a program to help medical costs out in the case of life or death, but yet I'm not. What a messed up country we live in.
The push for illegal alien amnesty continues as House Democrats are attempting to force a vote on immigration reform. President Obama approves of this, but he's not alone. The House Republican leadership under John Boehner are also in favor of "immigration reform," which we all know is amnesty. We have Paul Ryan addressing the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce as well, saying, "To me, it's not a question of 'if' we fix our broken immigration laws. It's really a question of 'when.'" Not to be outdone, we have Senator John McCain tweeting, "I will never ever, while I'm alive and breathing as U.S. Senator, stop working to pass immigration reform." McCain's former immigration aide, Becky Tallent, is now the top aide on immigration for John Boehner.
As you can see, now only do we have to fight Democrats who want to ensure a fundamental shift in the American character and make sure that they will win every national election, but we also have to fight establishment Republicans as well. Everyone knows that illegal immigration is a huge drain on our economy, adds violent crime, weakens our national security, and hurts the economy and the wages of American workers. We don't have a labor shortage in our country, we have a shortage of enforcing the law and having a spine.
Follow the money.
Biden, McCain and Paul Ryan haven’t exactly been successful in pushing amnesty.
Naming the bill after Ted Kennedy sounds like a poison pill dreamed up.
Would Obama go along with it being called Kennedycare, the Ted Kennedy Memorial Health Care Reform Act and blah, blah?

I remember when you were in bed with Kennedy, the man said.
In bed with Kennedy? Thank you, McCain replied. That conjures up a specter that I have to reject, sir. Thank you for the compliment.
