Thread: Dems See Immigration as Key to some Battlegrounds

Amazing how important they have made this bloc of people sound...I am beginning to think they would just love to see us all stay home on election day.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to see Chuck Baldwin, blow them out of the water and win this race, now that would be the extreme pay back to these two jerks.

It scares me the dems will control the process if they hold the majority forget about it amnesty is right around the corner! These dems don't care how most of the country feels!

It's so odd they cater to 4% of people when they wouldn't have to if they secured the borders, stopped chain migration, put a hold on any legal immigration for a period of no less than 2 years, stopped benefits to illegals even if they had anchor babies, used e verify to make sure everyone working here was LEGAL, and most importantly stopped the 14th ammendment granting automatic citizensip. Problem solved! No more having to hispander to these people for the hypothestical voters 30 years-50 years from now.

Immigration reform faces new president

Congress can adopt comprehensive immigration reform in the first year of a new president's administration, U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said Monday.

"This has been a mess for decades but it's time to fix it," said Lofgren, chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security and International Law, "and that is the first thing the new president will face."

She was one of four speakers at a panel discussion in Denver on immigration and the next administration hosted by NDN, a progressive think tank and advocacy organization. The speakers, including a former Arizona border city mayor, advocated a comprehensive approach to reform and said a new Democratic president would promote a more effective strategy to control illegal immigration.

"It's up to us, working with our new president to put some sense into the whole framework of the law so it works for America," Lofgren said.

The speakers said immigration law must be reformed before the border with Mexico can be secured.

The enforcement-only strategy of the current administration is not working, they said.

The administration's plan of self-deportation, making life so miserable for immigrants that they leave of their own accord, is a non-violent form of ethnic cleansing, said Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice, a group that promotes immigration reform.

"What's happening is a moral outrage, and it's a policy debacle," Sharry said.

He said the conservative right wing's vilification of immigrants would alienate enough Latino and immigrant voters to give Democrats the political support they need to pass comprehensive reform.

"This is about whether we as Americans are going to include people or exclude people," Sharry said.

Marco Lopez Jr., incoming director of the Arizona Department of Commerce, said his state has partnered with Mexico to target criminals who are crossing the border and human traffickers.

But the former mayor of Nogales, Ariz., on the Mexican border, said the traffic from south of the border won't stop and the drug and human trade would continue until Congress changes the way immigration works in America.

"By doing nothing it is indeed silent amnesty," Lopez said. "People will continue to come because we need them to come."

So far it seems to be the only strategy that IS working. Raids and E-Verify are both very effective.
