This is all fine and good, but it may also be a diversionary sideshow from the administration’s attempts to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants and create a permanent democrat majority in America. Right now about the only things slowing down a push for amnesty by Pelosi & Reid are opposition from conservatives and (in an odd coincidence) labor unions that don’t want the competition in the labor market from Mexican immigrants. But there is so much to be gained by the democrats from amnesty, you know they’re going to try to push it through congress somehow.
