The Obama Administration has announced Obama is making a revamping of the immigration bill a priority to push through by the end of 2009. He promises to find a way to make illegal immigrants legal. Read about it below and see photos and a video.
The Obama Administration is steamrolling its way through legislation, policy changes and revamping pretty much everything in American culture. This evening we learn that The New York Times will have a page one lead story on an announcement coming out of the White House that Obama is planning to deal with the United States immigration system by the end of this year. Its being reported that the plan is to find a path for illegal immigrants to become legal.
Mr. Obama will frame the new effort — likely to rouse passions on all sides of the highly divisive issue — as “policy reform that controls immigration and makes it an orderly system,” said the official, Cecilia Muñoz, deputy assistant to the president and director of intergovernmental affairs in the White House.
Mr. Obama plans to speak publicly about the issue in May, administration officials said, and over the summer he will convene working groups, including lawmakers from both parties and a range of immigration groups, to begin discussing possible legislation for as early as this fall.
Of course, it should go without saying, that there IS a path for legal immigration in the United States. After all, America is a nation of immigrants for the most part. The Obama Administration would have us believe that before him, there was no way someone crossing the border illegally could become a legal American immigrant. Like, you know, maybe standing in line, filling out papers, getting green cards like everybody else does.
The pressure from the left, who now have their sticky chubby little fingers on the sources of power throughout the United States. Therefore, our border patrol agents and border communities are loathe to enforce the laws that are currently in place to prevent a free for all on the borders.
Obama’s spokesperson, Cecilia Munoz, director of the White House’s intergovernmental affairs, states that the President wants to make immigration an ‘orderly system’. I would think that would be quite simple. Enforce immigrations laws, require people to go through the proper channels to immigrate to the United States and the entire situation will become more orderly.
This is, of course, a controversial issue that is chock full of strong emotions on both sides. Therefore, Obama promises Americans that illegal immigrants won’t be taking American jobs during this time of increasingly high unemployment rates. Instead, he says, it’ll bring those already here ‘out of the shadows’. That basically means that you shouldn’t believe your own common sense, just believe what he tells you to believe.
That’s all well and good, but what it really does is ensure the Hispanic vote for Obama during the next election cycle. Is that cynical of me? Perhaps. But lets look at the express train of legislation this White House is pushing on the American people.
The outrageously enormous, unseemly, pork-filled ’stimulus bill’ that was pushed through immediately after Obama’s inauguration. This debt is deepening a recession, incurring unimaginable national debt and breaking the backs of the American worker, his children and grandchildren. Why would Obama (or Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, George Soros) put such a burden on the American people? The most obvious answer to a question is usually the right answer. In this case, the most obvious answer is that he really is a Marxist and that by breaking the American Dream (aka: the ability to profit from your own labors), then he makes more and more people dependent on the federal government. As more people become dependent on the federal government, the centralized government has more power and control over the people. At that point, only the elite will have wealth and the people will be enslaved by the government.
Then we have to ask ourselves about the odd election cycles that never finish. Take the Minnesota Senatorial race that seems to never end. There’s also the odd situation concerning Ted Stevens in Alaska. First he’s indicted, just long enough for him to lose the Alaskan Senate seat, then he’s not indicted. Dare we wonder if there’s some electoral hankie-pankie going on? When the democrats have unfettered power, then what is one to think? For them to have the majorities they need in the Senate, then they have to do what they have to do.
Another important aspect of this is to do it early and quick, counting on the notoriously short memories of the American people. No one thinks any of this will be remembered by the time there’s another election.
All of these events point to one thing and that’s solidifying the power base of the democratic party. Particularly, the power base of those who finance the leaders of the democratic party.
Apparently, consolidating power among this small group of elites is more important than seeing to the security of our nation. Obama has yet to respond to last week’s North Korean missile test or the first pirate attack on an American ship since 1794. He’s still thinking about how to respond to those, while the North Koreans are preparing for another missile firing and laughing at us and there is a hostage situation, even as I type this, in the seas off the coast of Somalia.
He doesn’t have time to address those threats to our country, but he has time to unravel our government and guarantee his own power.
It seems that, come the next election, no one should be elected who WANTS to serve as a Representative, has previously served or who can afford to campaign for an office.

the funny/sad part is that while you cons play by “the marquess of queensbury rules”,
obama has already told you he is going to:
double the size of the national debt
admit illegal aliens
raise taxes on everyone who works
subsidize deadbeats
nationalize the financial sector
run car companies
decrimilaize marijuana
gut the military
greatly tax energy and/or raise energy prices
snub israel
allow iran to develop nuclear weapons
allow korea to develop nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles
and i am sure i am missing a few things …
… and the gop’s response has been,
“duh … ok. you’re the president”

I can see it all coming together when you’ve got this coming up now and Pelosi just a couple weeks ago telling a bunch of illegals that the current immigration laws are “un American” and at the same time told them all that they were being “very very patriotic” by doing what they did.
Jeez, think she knew then this was coming ?
April 8th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
I agree lisab – its really frustrating when I hear the constant haranguing from the right that we need to rise above the tactics being used by the left and play fair.
Sheesh – meanwhile they are taking our country.
April 8th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
micky – I’d be willing to bet she wrote the legislation. I don’t seriously think Obama writes (or even reads) all the enormous bills that are making their way over this desk.

Do we not have any conservatives willing to fight for what is right?
We are living in a time when right is wrong and wrong is right but on any given day that is subject to change.
Where have all the leaders gone. I hear not one voice speaking up for the Constitution. You know that document that sets the United States apart from other countries. Congress has gotten to big and made itself more powerful then it was ever intended to be.
We all much accept some of the blame. We elect and re-elect the same people thinking we will get a different result. They go to DC and became a 40 year veteran of power, money and corruption. And we act like it is no big deal.
For 10 years now I will vote for an incumbent 2 times and that’s it.
Please pray for a leader that will say what needs to be said and do what needs to be done. As it is now, we really have mob rule.

Enforce immigrations laws, require people to go through the proper channels to immigrate to the United States and the entire situation will become more orderly.
Right, and removing some of the byzantine obstructions to citizenship is a great way to make all of that possible. Listen, I don’t like illegal immigration anymore than anyone else, but it isn’t because I don’t like immigration.
If a person is a documented, taxpaying, legal immigrant, then he has as much a right to his slice of the American dream as anyone does. The problem is people sneaking into our country illegally. Making the immigration process more accessible and orderly is a great way to reduce that illegal activity.
@lisab: I only wish he had told us he was going to decriminalize marijuana. Instead, he laughs at those of us who want to hear more about that issue, and issues mealy-mouthed statements about medical facilities that he later contradicts. Also, part of the stimulus included re-initiating the ridiculous Byrne Grants, a completely quota-based system that rewards police departments for arresting as many drug users as possible.
Doesn’t sound like decriminalization to me.

Romney, Palin, Huckabee, and Giulliani have already flip-floped on the issue. Why expect the repubs in congress to not use them as cover?

Has anyone stopped to think what this will do to the unemployment rate? If they are declared “legal” by executive fiat, they will have to be paid minimum wage and given all the support that entails. Right now illegals come here because they can cut under the minimum wage and work for whatever the businesses want to pay. That would actually level the playing field by forcing all employers to pay all workers the same rate. But Congress denied the E-verify act which means that employers have no way of knowing who is legal and who is not. The end result will be a massive wave of people coming here for the freebies, having never paid into the system to deserve it. And if Team Obama think these folks will pay the penalty to get in, he’s not dealing with reality at all. Why should they bother to do so when employers can’t verify, but still will have to pay the going rate? It’s a win/win for illegals and a losing proposition for the rest of us who will continue to pay escalating school, property and city taxes in order to support the exponential growth of the uneducated, sometimes criminal “new Americans”.

Has anyone stopped to think what this will do to the unemployment rate?
Yeah I see what you’re saying, although “leveling the playing field” works in both directions.
In other words — right now, immigrant workers steal jobs from American citizens because they can work at a sub-standard rate, right? Well, if they can no longer work at those rates, that is no longer the case.
Now it’s important to keep in mind that an immigration system that makes sense must crack down on illegal immigration (which we obviously do a terrible job with now). Go ahead and make the path to citizenship easier, I think that’s a great idea; but get everyone documented. Exceptions should be pursued and sent home.

he already decriminalized marijuana at the fed level.
now it is up to the state.
the feds said they would no longer pursue marijuana cases
April 9th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
@lisab: No that is absolutely not what he did. Marijuana is still a class I controlled substance at the federal level. That has not changed one bit.
Wht AG Holder said was that they would limit their pursuit of marijuana cases to those who are in violation of both federal and state laws. So, in states where medical marijuana is legal, the premise is that patients and dispensaries will be left alone so long as they follow state law.
Of course, a week after saying that, a San Fransisco dispensary was raided. So as far as we know, it’s a bunch of hot air. Charlie Lynch’s April 20 sentencing will be a strong sign of how things will be.
For someone in a state that has no medical marijuana provision, all marijuana use is still susceptible to federal prosecution.
