Obama and Illegal Immigration

Can you imagine President Obama moving to legalize 15 million illegal aliens in the middle of the greatest recession the nation has seen since 1929? With unemployment rising and millions looking for work, he wouldn’t dare add to the legal work force!

Even if he tried, all members of the House of Representatives will face the electorate in less than two years and will probably not go along with him. Moreover, the Republican co-author of the comprehensive immigration reform bill in the Senate, John McCain, said he wouldn’t sign it today. He would insist on achieving border security first, and that will take some time.

If the people rose in near rebellion to stop the amnesty bill last year, this time the peasants might well grab those pitchforks that Pat Buchanan has spoken of.

So let’s say we can stop legalization, Obama could still curtail enforcement. This might be true of the aggressive on site raids carried out by ICE in recent months, but it shouldn’t stop the states from enforcing existing laws. If Obama tries to stop cooperating with the states he might be subject to impeachment for not obeying the laws of the land.

What about the border fence, couldn’t he stop that? There is mounting evidence that the border fence is having a major impact of drug smuggling and this probably explains the major upheaval in Mexico. If the people understand this, they will demand that the job of fencing the border be completed.

All of this depends on getting the truth to the American People. As to the border, the only organization in America equipped to report what is going on with the fence is American Border Patrol. Only ABP has the raw aerial surveillance data that prove that fence construction has impacted drug smuggling corridors. It deserves your support.
