This morning on CNN Cliff May, a former RNC official and founder and head of the Defense of Democracies Foundation was pitted against some stupid Democratic consultant on the issue of Bernard Kerrik. The two talked about Kerrik then May implied something I did not like. Cliff May said something to the effect that everyone has illegal nannies and the immigration laws are outdated and need to be changed. He went on. Putting two and two together, I gather May is pushing this amnest idea. Amnesty is the exact opposite of what needs to be done. We must continue to fight it.
What follows is an excerpt of an op-ed piece from the Washington Times that is right on the money:
We applaud Mr. Sensenbrenner's determination to stick to his guns. As he outlined during the news conference, any serious immigration reform must address three key failures of current policy. First, reform the 51 variant ways someone can get a driver's license in this country. The September 11 commission found that all but one of the hijackers had acquired some form of U.S. identification, in many cases by fraudulent means. Yet the intelligence bill failed to address this fatal loophole. Second, Congress must focus on tightening the nation's asylum laws, which historically favor asylum seekers, many suspected terrorists. Yousef himself was granted asylum despite his known terrorist ties. Finally, Congress needs to get serious about securing our borders, which is why the chairman stressed completing the Otay Mesa fence along the California-Mexican border. All of these are sober solutions for an immigration policy that for too long has been abused and exploited by declared enemies of America, and others.
But it would be a fatal mistake for the White House to try to meld Mr. Sensenbrenner's proposals to Mr. Bush's guest worker program for illegal aliens. Aligning the two together on the false premise that both fall under the wide scope of immigration fails to account for the reality that one deals with workers, the other with security. More to the point, the president's guest worker program is unlikely to pass the Republican House even with Mr. Sensenbrenner's provisions. Now that this Congress believes it has dealt with the failure of the intelligence community to stop the September 11 terrorists (and we reserve judgment on that matter), the next Congress must actually solve the problem of how they got here in the first place.
All you've done in the two weeks you've been on FR is attack President Bush and the Republican Party.
You've obviously given yours the slip.
I missed a couple of paydays, so I'm hiding out in the last place they'd look for me.
Down at INS.
Can you get me a deal on a leaf blower?
Cat I:Everybody who is willing to entrust the health and safety of their children to an criminal alien employs one. Cat II: Many males who are not man enough to tell their sons "have the lawn mowed and the pool cleaned when I get home" employ illegals. I believe the would-be cabinet chief falls into Category I.

Yeah. Anyway, good luck.
You realize that a good old-fashioned house cleaning is needed with respect to “declared enemies of America,” don’t you?
“They” need to start with certain people in the current administration and congress, IOW. Judiciary too, IMO. Work their way down from there.
Maybe, with practice, “they” can come up to speed sufficiently to tackle the other issues.
As it is, “they” aren’t worth spitting on and I’d not bet the farm on their performance or abilities. But that’s just me.
Wow! it's a subversive troll without a source?!
How's that PEST syndrome treating you???
Not sure how I got on your ping list, but please take me off.
Ping
All the illegal kiss asses sure showed up quickly on this one!
Keep up the good work on our border, if they let you!
I just hope the WMD goes off in their hometown and not mine.
Keep up the good work on our border, if they let you!
We are doing our best, considering all the obstacles the White House is throwing at us.
DITTO from me. Cool it with the ping list.
