Nothing new but Obamas Pandering
Reading and rereading Barack Obamas speach one just is left with so many questions. The one I want to look at is this. Does he support corruption? Leaving the Democratic party out of this argument. One that can be looked at later because there is just sooooooo much corruption in the DNC and its elected officials in Washington. I want to look at his support for an open boarder, legalization of law breakers, and no enforcement of our laws.
Obama said "we must tear down walls between immigrants and natives." There is no distinction made between legal and illegal immigrants. So is he implying that when a person VIOLATES, IGNORES, and REPETEDLY offends soverign national territory it is ok?
Off of his campaign website:
Barack Obama's Plan
Create Secure Borders
Obama wants to preserve the integrity of our borders. He supports additional personnel, infrastructure and technology on the border and at our ports of entry.
(OK so whats the differance of this and What John McCain has said? NOTHING!!! He claims he wants to maintain the integrity of our boarders> So then why has he not supported the fence effort? Or the Boarder Patrol themselves. Where is his outcry that two B.P. Agents are in jail so that a druggie can be free. He claims to support more personel on the boarder but was active in calling for the removal of the National Guard off the boarder.)
Improve Our Immigration System
Obama believes we must fix the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy and increase the number of legal immigrants to keep families together and meet the demand for jobs that employers cannot fill.
(Increase the number of immigration? Meet the demands of jobs? Ok increase people coming in when there is a supposedly economic crisis and the immigrants have no proof of employment. Not smart at all. Creates a larger welfare pool. As for jobs with no one to hire. This lie just tweeks me so. How many teenagers cannot find a summer job because a displaced migrant (p.c. for ILLEGAL ALIEN) has the job. How about seeing that AMERICAN youth learn a work ethic and have a chance to earn a little money in what was traditional summer jobs. Or after school jobs.)
Remove Incentives to Enter Illegally
Obama will remove incentives to enter the country illegally by cracking down on employers who hire undocumented immigrants.
(Now thats a start. I agree with this whole heartedly. But what is new and hopeful about this. John McCain has the same policy. How about removeing the free medical that they recieve and we the LEGAL CITIZENS end up paying for. How about going a little further and requireing them to learn English and ASSIMILATE into American society, instead of demanding we change to suite them.)
Bring People Out of the Shadows
Obama supports a system that allows undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens.
(What incentive is there for them to come out of the shadows if they know they will be paying a fine and have to get into a line. This thinking is not new, provides no HOPE, or CHANGE in what is happening. It is a platitude. All pander to those who are sitting on the fence of the immigration issue. This part of the plan has no meat, no potatoes, no substance at all. A waste of time to even consider.)
Work with Mexico
Obama believes we need to do more to promote economic development in Mexico to decrease illegal immigration.
(How about working with those who are not corrupt and putting a stop to the use of illegals being mules for drugs. Then how about this. Barack says that we need these people for our agriculture. So if we develop Mexicos farm industry would that then be eliminating these workers from coming north? How about developing the jobs stolen. The jobs that teenagers used to do after school and during the summer.)
