The Fraud of "Immigration Reform"
Our president is absolutely full of it:
Washington (CNN) -- President Obama renewed his push for comprehensive immigration reform Thursday, calling for bipartisan cooperation on an issue that has repeatedly led to deep social and political division.The president tried to find what has often proven to be an elusive middle ground on the subject, highlighting the importance of immigrants to American history and progress while also acknowledging the fear and frustration many people now feel with a system that he said seems "fundamentally broken."
He asserted the majority of Americans are ready to embrace reform legislation that would help resolve the status of an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants.
"I believe we can put politics aside and finally have an immigration system that's accountable," Obama told an audience at Washington's American University. "I believe we can appeal not to people's fears, but to their hopes, to their highest ideals. Because that's who we are as Americans."
The president targeted Arizona's controversial new immigration law, which requires immigrants to carry alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there's reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally. It also targets businesses that hire illegal immigrant laborers or knowingly transport them.
No, no, no.
Obama is being disingenuous on many levels, and is an outright liar on several
The bit about "putting politics aside" is outright ridiculous. "Politics" as properly defined is simply the art and science of governing and of putting one's philosophy into governance. Setting this aside makes absolutely no sense.
He claims the system is "broken." Our enforcement is what's broken, you idiot. As president you are supposed to be the chief law enforcement officer, and like your predecessors you refuse to enforce the law.
Illegal immigration is pretty simple:
- Seal the border as best you can. Yes yes some will always get through but we could cut the number dramatically if we'd only try
- Illegals in this country must go home and apply the through the normal methods. No way no how do we grant any sort of "amnesty" or "path to citizenship period.
So the Arizona law is perfectly good and should be a model for other states. That Obama's Justice Dept is going to sue is a disgrace.
There are several reasons why the left is pushing for amnesty and is in fact outright in favor of illegal immigration. Among them are middle-class white guilt, open borders ideologues, racial solidarity groups, and Democrat party strategists looking for votes.
Be that as it may, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has the best response to Obama (via American Power)

Our southern border is a bit more than just "fundamentally broken" Mr. Obama..it's on fire, with drug-smugglers, murders and kidnappings in Arizona, a bloody war between the Drug-Thugs & Federali Policia below the Rio Grande where thousands on both sides have died recently, and the innocent workers that seek employment are victimized by their employers once they safely arrive..and exploited, beaten & raped by "el coyotes"..and the Governor of Arizona pleads with Obama to "Do Your Job!--Close The Border--then submit legislation--that's equitable to everyone!

The ASS Obama always wants us to put OUR politics aside as he shoves his right in our face.
This speech, like so many of his recent addresses, was loaded with the usual straw men, half truths and partisan hackery that have come to typify this man who seems more comfortable being President of the Democrats rather than President of the United States!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Snake-Hunter Reminder:
TOMORROW, July 4th..marks the birth of a new nation..'conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal' --
Such an outrageous declaration, to publicly and loudly proclaim, from an unsophisticated group of
tough-minded colonists in the new world.
Fifty-six brave souls risked all to sign a
"Declaration of Independence" from British King George, and in doing so, launched the beginnings
of the greatest, most productive & inventive nation in world history..with freedom of speech, press, religion, the right to peacefully assemble..and to Think Brave New Thoughts..
A Nation of Just Laws Governing Conduct...
Happy Birthday America!

FYI, Limbaugh refers to "illegal aliens" as "undocumented Democrats", and "immigration reform" as a huge "DNC voter registration drive".

A bit late, but HAPPY JULY 4TH to all Americans!!!
Tom, I feel like I'm preaching to the choir here but you're damn right.
Man man man... neutering the military, saddling the country with a debt as yet unseen, forcing a healthcare reform thru that will vastly enlarge government size without bettering care... and now you guys got Kagan forced upon you plus "comprehensive immigration reform"....
Jesus, and he's only 1 1/2 years in office.
Tom, I don't want to think what America will look like at the end of Obama's term.

Tom, Obama now wants NASA to foster in schoolchildren the desire to 'reach out to the muslim world':
'Of those three goals, Bolden said in a recent interview with al-Jazeera, the mission to reach out to Muslims is “perhaps foremost,” because it will help Islamic nations “feel good” about their scientific accomplishments.
In the same interview, Bolden also said the United States, which first sent men to the moon in 1969, is no longer capable of reaching beyond low earth orbit without help from other nations
