Obama, Pelosi Again Push Amnesty for Illegals

Despite surveys showing that 75 percent of U.S. citizens are against providing amnesty, President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled House will push a system to make 12 million illegal aliens residing in the United States legal, a senior official in the Obama administration tells The New York Times.

Obama is making comprehensive immigration legislation, including the plan to make illegal aliens legal, a priority in his first year in office. Obama made immigration legislation a key campaign promise to Latino voters who turned out strongly for him on this issue.

The plan, which Obama will reveal publicly in May, reportedly will provide off-the-cuff amnesty and a legalization path for illegal aliens, administration officials tell the Times.

The plan reportedly will:

Bring illegal immigrants into the legal system by recognizing that they violated the law

Impose fines and other penalties to fit the offense

Prevent future illegal immigration by strengthening border enforcement

Prevent future illegal immigration by cracking down on employers who hire illegal immigrants

Create a national system for verifying the legal immigration status of new workers

Obama re-affirmed his stance on “pathway to citizenshipâ€

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior our Gov't hasn't enforced our immigration laws on the books so why would they enforce any new laws?


Obama, Pelosi and Biden must be impeached!

I think those congressmen coming up for reelection may not want to go down that path, rather save their skins and their cushy taxpayer-funded jobs. Anyone that goes down that path to amnesty for reelection is too stupid to be in Congress or any legislature, if not bordering on treasonous behavior.

She apparently doesn't understand the meaning of the "Catch and Release" T-shirts I see illegals wearing and it isn't about fishing. They think the entire BP is a joke and I wouldn't call that "patriotic" by a long shot.

When my DH asked a green card Mexican why he didn't just join the military and defend his country to get his permanent citizenship, the Mexican responded, "which country would I defend"? IOW's, he isn't an American Patriot. And so it goes by the millions and that's why the "Dreamers" want their dream, to avoid military service, required in Mexico. Pelosi is a traitor.

Heroes are people who do something extraordinary and any illegal who has to decide which country he feels allegiance to is no hero. They say "heroes are born, not made" and Pelosi seems to agree since the birthrate in Mexico is so high that she will hit the jackpot someday.
