With the election of Barrack Obama, illegal immigration amnesty advocates are said to be gearing up for a major push to get this enacted quickly. Quickly ? What makes them think they can get it enacted at all, any more now than over the past 2 years when the legislation was defeated 3 times ?

Although Obama is a supporter of earned legalization (AKA amnesty), (here, I question his intelligence), so has been George Bush. It was the Congress (primarily the House) which has been rejecting the amnesty bills, not the President. House members are still quite likely to be reluctant to go back to their districts and bechewed up and spit out by their angry constituents, like they were during the past amnesty attempts.

Here's a few things to consider about the the issue. There's been some worry that amnesty will give illegal aliens equal rights with Americans. Wrong !! It will give them MORE rights than most American citizens. Since most illegal aliens are Hispanic, that makes them eligible for affirmative action.

Combined with amnesty, they would get preferences in jobs and other benefits. Those starting businesses would go to front-of-the-line slots ahead of White Americans, in getting government contracts. Their kids would be able to get into college ahead of White American kids with better academic qualifications.



Already now, an illegal (who should be arrested and deported) can attend the University of California, and pay less tuition than an American from neighboring states.Regarding payment of back taxes, under the previous amnesty bills (likely to be pushed for again now), illegals would not have to pay those. But you, Mr. Or Ms. American citizen, can land in federal prison if you commit the same offense.

The tidal wave of letters, emails, phone calls, bitch-outs at town hall meetings, etc. that occured during the previous amnesty bill attempts is likely to need to be repeated. Americans who care about this country need to stay on top of this issue and keep pressuring Congress and Obama to reject this lunacy.

If enacted, we won't just have an economic crisis. We will have an economic collapse, with millions more jobs being lost, state and local treasuries being much more depleted, for human services payouts, and tens of billions more lost from our economy, as legalized immigrants (and millions more who will be inspired to flock into the country), will send more and more remittances back to their homelands.

Obama's first challenge is going to be the economy and undoing the mess GWB's gang is leaving him. I doubt that amnesty will be at the top of the pile of garbage, no matter what LULAC, LaRaza and MALDEF want to believe. And no matter what he has said during the campaign, there will be extenuating circumstances that override campaign blather. GWB has paved that road, being a conservative Republican in campaign speech to one of the most fiscally insane spenders: is it only $8 or $20 trillion today.

We cannot get complacent and need to prepare. The OBL evidently cares little about the weak economy and over 10 million Americans out of work -- they want amnesty. As we've seen, they're even spinning that mass amnesty will be good for the economy.

Example, here's what pro-amnesty Xaiver Becerra just said in turning down the trade rep position: "I ... now see a rare opportunity to push across the goal line much of the unfinished business of America: investing in our infrastructure and workers, universal healthcare, comprehensive immigration reform and scrubbing a tax code that's out of shape and behind the times."

Obama cares about the weak economy, but for the wrong reasons. He wants to use it to take a $trillion of our tax dollars and spend it on his pet socialist projects. I'm sure he'll find a way to use some of the money to support radical leftist organizations like Acorn, and maybe even create something like the Hitlerjugend, which Hitler created to increase his power.
