Thread: Who attended the W.H. Meeting on Immigration Reform ?

Clarrisa Martinez, National Council of La Raza: "The President Stopped By,"

Frank Sharry, America's Voice: "CIR...in the Fall...Concrete action in the next 6 months"

Art Venegas, Law Enforcement Engagement Initiative: "Disappointed that the 287g Program to continue"

Arturo Rodriguez, United Farm Workers: Meeting good first step

85% of Americans say, "NO!"

Napolitano immigration meeting: you weren't represented (vast # of loose borders groups, Obama/Janet anti-287g)

Earlier today, Janet Napolitano of the Department of Homeland Security held a closed-door meeting with a group of what she calls "stakeholders" (dhs.gov/ynews/releases/pr_1250792978709.shtm) but was actually a vast pantheon (see below) of far-left, racial power, corrupt business, and in general loose borders groups all of which want some form of comprehensive immigration reform, aka amnesty. There were at least 98 participants in the meeting, and none of them represent your interests or the interests of the great majority of American citizens. Why exactly they'd hold the meeting isn't clear; aside from guest workers and minor details they're all pretty much on the same page. Perhaps it was a strategy session to see how they could fool as many people as possible whenever they decide to push for amnesty.

According to Ali Noorani of the National Immigration Forum (link) Obama stopped by:

The President said specifically that when it comes to the local police charged with enforcing federal immigration law under 287(g) agreements that he wants these local law enforcement agencies held accountable.

And:

Noorani’s other question concerned the 287g program, which gives local law enforcement the authority to enforce immigration law. Noorani asked Napolitano to revoke the authority of agencies who have clearly violated the spirit of the agreement, and that the immigration reform community looked forward to seeing that happen. Napolitano responded, “Me, too.â€

This is what really, really bothers me:

DHS Secretary Napolitano has been designated to form a Congressional Working Group, and we hope and expect initial the work to move forward on legislation will commence this summer. The goal should be nothing less than to bring under control our chaotic immigration system from one immersed in failure and half-baked non-solutions into a safe, secure and legal system that effectively eliminates illegal immigration.

So does that mean that anyone that falls off a ship or turnip truck into this country is automatically a citizen?

My invitation to the meeting must have gotten lost in the mail.

Either that, or they don't care what I or anyone else thinks about MILLIONS of illegal aliens invading our country.

The Democrats will be walking into a political minefield if they try to go against the wishes of the American voters. I have seen several reports lately that they stand to lose anywhere from 12-20 seats in the House in 2010 because of their treachery, ineptitude and breach of constitutional law. Anything akin to amnesty or a continuance of this soft shoe attitude toward illegal immigrants and the crimes they commit will be the final nail in the coffin for the Democrats and they know it! They are in total disarray and running scared because they are finally beginning to incur the long overdue wrath of the American people! They recognize that we are at a tipping point and are rightfully afraid of further angering the voters. Republicans should be forewarned that what is happening to the Democrats could be in store for them should they find themselves gaining power in Congress.

I can only hope that we can have a conservative takeover of Congress in 2010. Wow, wouldn't that make for an unhappy bunch of people in Obamas band of scary dems?
