Thread: Obama unveils comprehensive immigration reform strategy

The liberals are in a tizzy. The truth is out. Be sure to blog your comments.
Though it would seem unlikely that our President would introduce a controversial immigration reform strategy on the cusp of a healthcare decision in the Senate, he did indeed do that today.
DHS Secretary Napolitano introduced a broad outline for reform during a speech to the Center for America Progress this morning. In it she cited the many advances DHS has made in securing the US Border with Mexico. One of the centerpieces of this effort is the screening of 100% of southbound rail shipments for weapons and cash. While that sounds like a good thing for Mexico the logical question is this: What percent of northbound rail shipments are "screened" and what does "screening mean? Not to sound cynical but this Administration does not have a good record when it comes to spin and telling the absolute truth. The President demonstrated that clearly last week with Healthcare Reform.

The plan calls for a path to citizenship for the 11 million illegal aliens already in the US. On this the administration also seems a bit out of touch. That the vast majority of Mexican illegal invaders according to a recent Zogby Poll have no interest in becoming American Citizens and regardless would hold primary allegiance to Mexico is apparently lost on the President and Secretary Napolitano.

The White House also believes a temporary worker program will decrease the flow of illegal aliens heading north. Again, a fact unsupported by a Pew Study. His plan will provide for a temporary worker program and what a Mexican media report calls an establishment of:

“…guidelines for a migration plan that will end the criminalization of undocumented immigrants, to give a more humane treatment and tone to the immigration rules in order to end the family separation.â€

I hate to be a party pooper.... but I hereby, officially challenge Obama's legal status in the USA.

If the dude's kindergarten records are sealed, I think we should demand seeing his eligibility information. My God... I believe we have an illegal immigrant ruling this country.

And I demand answers and proof !!!!

Good question. By definition, screening targets some objects/material while allowing others to pass. That is why they do not put screens in submarines. Since screening is at best a sampling method, not only should we know the per cent screened (well under 100% I bet), but specifically what are they screening for and what is the list of stuff they are not concerned with. In other words, what criteria are they using.
