Obama's next push is amnesty - President intends to install a long-term Democratic majority
The Washington Times ^ | 20 September 2009 | Jeffrey T. Kuhner

Posted on 09/22/2009 10:31:16 PM PDT by Bob017

Amnesty is back, and with a vengeance. This was the dominant theme I heard at this week's annual talk-radio gabfest in Washington sponsored by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the country's leading anti-amnesty organization.

"As we gather here in the nation's capital, another illegal alien amnesty bill has been introduced in the Senate," FAIR President Dan Stein said.

It is no surprise that, after passing health care "reform," President Obama plans to move on to his next big domestic initiative: granting citizenship to more than 12 million illegal immigrants. For decades, Beltway and business elites have championed a policy of open borders and unlimited Third World immigration. Amnesty is simply its logical culmination: the triumph of political and corporate interests over patriotism.

America has endured a massive invasion of millions of illegal immigrants. The southern border is a bleeding sore. Hospitals are overwhelmed, forced to provide free medical care to illegals. School systems must absorb the unnecessary costs of educating the illegal immigrants' children. Welfare rolls are swelling with illegal immigrants taking advantage of public assistance. Nearly one-third of the federal prison population is composed of illegal immigrants. Mexican cartels import drugs, crime and human trafficking. Washington has lost control of the nation's borders -- and with it, our national sovereignty.

We barely fought this off last time. The odds due to congressional makeup this time around will be a lot tougher.

“Well there goes the Republic!

Somebody may have to found a new one.

I wonder what independent voters think of one political party changing the law to incorporate tens of millions of foreign nationals as citizens solely for the purpose of having them vote overwhelmingly for one of the two parties? Especially when those foreign nationals hail mostly from one country, and entered this country illegally (as opposed to being a fairly-apportioned cross section of the world's peoples, and as opposed to being limited to those who didn't cut in line)?

Rasmussen should do a poll and find out.

We need to stop Obama now and keep rolling over him through the amnesty attempt.

We can beat them.

www.numbersusa.com - you can fax free to stopamnesty and they provide free canned letters. Takes a few minutes to set up and a minute a week t o use.

Also to stop deathcare you can send 2 free faxes a day at www.faxzero.com Type up your canned letter - copy & paste. Get their phone and fax numbers by googling their name on the web.

I think if we stop DeathCare and keep slowing it down that he may not try to amnesty. He is going to keep pushing though. The Blue Dogs are not going to go along.

Keep fighting.

I love how a lot of (both from the left & right) folks assume this automatically means it will benefit the Dems forever.

You can’t continue to give away freebies when the nation is broke.

Where??

There is nowhere to go. I can't believe we are turning into the very thing illegals run from in Mexico.

God help us. I actually heard an illegal state the other day that he didn't like Obama because he did not keep his promise to make them legal in his first one hundred days.

Can you believe that?? Say goodbye to the greatest country that ever existed.

Thanks DEMORATS!!!

This is going to be our next big fight. America already has an overabundance of poverty and unemployed workers already. Why the hell would we want to import more of it? “Amensty” will REALLY drive the cost of CommieCare up. This is just moronic! It’s time we start demanding that the politicians in this country be weekly given drug tests. If they don’t start focusing on America and Americans, they’re asses should be thrown off Capitol Hill. This is OUR country!

Agreed. The healthcare is not over. Blue Dogs vote for it at their peril - ditto any Repubs.

Harry Reid will loves in NV - even with any promised earmarks.

Keep calling and faxing.

www.faxzero.com for two FREE faxes a day.

www.numbersusa.com to stop amnesty.

Keep fighting

Time for Juan McCain to “reach across the aisle” and shove it up America’s collective ass again.

If Congress thought the Health Care fiasco POd the public, wait till this matter gets center stage.

A number of people I know who drink the Democrat Kool Aid will not go for this abomination.

If memory serves, President George W. Bush and Senator John McCain are in favor of amnesty for illegal immigrants too.

So many people belong in jail for not unpholding their sworn duty to protect out Constitution and enforcing our laws.

I could be wrong though.

I imagine they will feel the same as they did a few years ago when Bush and McCain attempted to force amnesty upon us.

I can’t honestly see how we can surrender our nation to marxism, and honor the oath most of us took.

I second your words here. Over the years, I've pleaded with FR readers wanting to fight amnesty to JOIN NumbersUSA.com and FAIR.org if they want to effect change.

If readers on this thread have failed to do so and still complain incessantly, wring their hands, but fail to join, that is a pity, a shameful waste of valuable time when time in this battle is of the essence.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE join these groups (absolutely free of charge; voluntary contributions requested from time to time). Many besides me credit their congressional onslaught against amnesty for our success in defeating amnesty ("comprehensive reform") the last time.

Regards . . . Penny

amnesty for an additional 25m people that will never pay taxes (unless they make over $50,000/yr.. unlikely for unskilled manual labor)

just awesome

i’m so glad i can work 80 hrs/week so that others can suck on the crack pipe during the day.

how else may i serve my NewBOs
