A Democrat's Utter Dismay at His Party's Likely Nominees for President
By Donald A. Collins

Super Tuesday is history! What will it prove? Well, it now seems certain that the head of each major party ticket will be a US Senator, neither of whom is in favor of real patriotic immigration reform. With some 50 million legal and illegal aliens and their offspring added to our population since 1965, our government has all the while miserably failed to enforce the law against illegal immigration and allowed runaway legal immigration far beyond any reasonable labor needs.

While the issue of immigration now appears as a top voter concern in all the polls, the majority of American citizens of both parties keep asking the same key questions about immigration that FAIR's President, Dan Stein asked in a recent interview for a documentary film on immigration ,

"Why do US Senators of both political parties spend more time and energy defending the interests of illegal aliens at the expense of US citizens and legal immigrants? Why do successive US presidents of both parties refuse to uphold and enforce the law, continue to allow massive illegal immigration and repeatedly push for amnesties for increasing millions of foreigners who come to America in defiance of our laws? In light of the known threats posed by international terrorists, why do American politicians continue thwart any effective measures to control our borders and ports, and continue to pander to the interests of millions of illegal aliens and the organizations that seek to represent them? To whom are US Senators and Congress persons responsible and accountable - to the American people or to ethnic lobbies and multinational business interests?"
We all know about McCain and his sponsorship of the infamous and soundly defeated McCain-Kennedy Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill. So don't vote for him if you care about protecting your country from this immigrant invasion. McCain says he will secure our borders and our ports, but most reasonable observers, including this Democrat, would strongly question his willingness to follow through.

And then there's Obama and Clinton, a dynamic duo, each vying to be more open borders than the other.

One would assume that Obama's African American heritage might cause him to be less inclined to see the illegal importation of Hispanic slave labor. Not necessarily. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, quoting Federico Peña, a former Clinton administration Cabinet member and Denver mayor now supporting Obama:

“’Barack Obama has not backed down’ on driver's licenses for undocumented people, said Federico Peña, ‘I think when the Latino community hears Barack's position on such an important and controversial issue, they'll understand that his heart and his intellect is with Latino community.’ "
Clinton backed off her support of Spitzer's plan last fall to give drivers' licenses to illegal aliens in NY State. When asked directly about the issue now, her California campaign spokesman said Clinton "believes the solution is to pass comprehensive immigration reform."

Clinton won in California, New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts. But clearly the battle is still on and if the litmus test for winning the nomination gets to be "drivers' licenses for illegal aliens", which is of course where the now-openly totalitarian groups like La Raza and others would like it to be, then I betcha Hillary is their girl.
