Democrat leadership is apparently between a rock and a hard place when it comes to amnesty for illegal aliens. So what’s their solution? They are now publicly discussing starting out with a “get tough” approach before they sweep in and push for amnesty.
This grand plan of the Dem Elite (and the Repubs, as well), relies on one general assumption–that you and I are brain dead idiots. They haven;t learned their lesson, and as each day goes by it becomes more and more apparent that there is one group out there that is blind, deaf and dumb–and it isn’t us.
House Democratic leaders are being whipsawed on immigration policy by two groups within their caucus — Hispanic lawmakers who want an end to Democratic support of enforcement-only immigration bills and vulnerable Democrats from swing districts who say a “get tough†approach is necessary to keep their seats in 2008.
Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chairman Joe Baca (D-Calif.) plans to address the Democratic Caucus at next week’s meeting to reassure colleagues that they can be tough while creating a path to citizenship for undocumented and illegal immigrants…
Worried about appearing soft on the issue in an election year, yet knowing they cannot afford to alienate Hispanic voters, Democratic leaders have let conservative members join legislative forces with Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) and allowed passage of a non-binding motion prohibiting the government from suing groups that require employees to speak English at work…
In The New Republic last month, [Democrat pollster] Greenberg equated the immigration issue with welfare reform, saying Democrats had to get tough on enforcement before creating a path to citizenship. Many political strategists disagree.
The president’s Hispanic support withered after Republicans supported legislation that called for the deportation of 12 million illegal and undocumented immigrants. Democrats overwhelmingly won the Hispanic vote in 2006 and the party wants to solidify that support next year.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), who spoke at an NDN forum on immigration on Wednesday, said that unlike Republicans, Democrats avoid references in debate to “those people.†He added, “It shocked me to hear that on the Senate floor … If we show our understanding on those issues, we’ll have a unique chance at a record Latino vote and a Democratic president [in 2008].â€
In black and white, plain and simple: their plan is to sell out this nation and destroy our sovereignty for perceived votes. These people are corrupt whores and should be banned from public office.
Don’t think for one minute this discussion is happenng only within the Democrat party, this virus is in the Repub swamp as well.
You’re absolutely right about this being a complete sellout, Tammy. I can just imagine the type of pandering drivel that will come out of the Univision debate.
The only path I’m interested in hearing about is the one that leads back across the border.
I encourage everyone to dump incumbents and vote for other than the R&D party. From the redistricting sham that protects incumbents, to the arrogant disregard for the people by both parties, the system has devolved into one party rule. India has 168 registerd parties, and any where from 20 to 30 are represented in their parlament, so you can imagine that there is a lot of legislation that gets stalled. What moves forward is what most of the people think is important, and not much else. Fine by me. We need to start breaking up the cartel, from state and local government, on through to the top. Maybe we can still turn this thing around.
