One of the things I couldn't stand about George W. Bush and John McCain was their agreement with the Left when it came to their position on amnesty. I am a firm believer that protecting the borders, and disallowing illegal aliens everything except a trip back to their home country, is a necessity.
Before you call me a racist, think about it for a moment. It is illegal to cross the border without going through the proper channels, hence the word "illegal" in illegal alien. The person did so well knowing that the activity is "illegal." So, why would you wish to give amnesty, or even basic benefits, to someone willing to break the law with such ease?
Obama has not mentioned it much, but one of the big pushes on the horizon by him will be amnesty.
A good indication of the amnesty bill to come is what Obama had to say in Mexico about anyone who opposes such legislation. Specifically, at a joint press conference with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Guadalajara, Mexico President Barack Obama called American opponents of amnesty for illegal aliens "demagogues."
Have you ever seen a president talk so much crap on his own constituency before?
Interestingly, in his speech the word "immigration" was used at will. This is a classic liberal tactic of misdirection. The excessive use of the word "immigration" gives the impression that folks who oppose amnesty are somehow opposed to immigration - and then they say something like "it was immigration that built this country," and that we "all come from immigrants."
I have no problem with legal immigration. My wife is a legal immigrant. It is the illegal immigrants who refuse to follow the letter of the law I have a problem with.
And I am hardly a "demagogue" for thinking that way.
