obama immigration: Page 1

USA Today was given a copy of a draft immigration "reform" (aka amnesty) bill from the Obama administration ( peekURL.com/zW8CSMp ). It sounds much the same as the other amnesty bills, even borrowing the name for the visa it would give to almost all illegal aliens from an earlier amnesty. Under the bill, illegal aliens could apply for a "Lawful Prospective Immigrant" ("LPI") visa that would let...

... the future." Make sure and see Obama immigration for all the many things Obama has said and done to enable massive and illegal immigration, even though he co-sponsored this bill. * Clarissa Martinez De Castro of the National Council of La Raza (see both those links; quote source at peekURL.com/zER43ER ): "[Rubio] has the potential to be a force for building the space in which Republicans are...

According to Janet Napolitano of the Department of Homeland Security [1], over 200,000 illegal aliens have applied to Obama's "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals" amnesty. That's not as bad as it could be, but it's still very bad news for American workers: in a weak job market, Obama's adding hundreds of thousands of new legal workers. Those who are illegal aliens are clustered in jobs that...

The immigration policies of Obama and the Democratic Party harm struggling American workers and struggling American college students. So, it's no surprise that a quote praising Obama on immigration in the 2012 Democratic Party platform would come from an illegal alien. Yes, that's right: the Democratic Party is buttressing their immigration position with the thoughts of a foreign citizen who's...

From their press release [1]: The House Judiciary Committee has obtained internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) documents, which show that the Obama administration is cooking the books to achieve their so-called ‘record’ deportation numbers for illegal immigrants and that removals are actually significantly down – not up – from 2009. Beginning in 2011, the Committee has learned...

The video below shows Chris Crane of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council - a union representing 7200 ICE officers and employees - claiming that the orders from the Department of Homeland Security are to just release those who claim to be covered by Obama's DREAM Act amnesty [1]. In the following, "DREAMer" refers to those who would be covered by that amnesty: Prosecutorial...

I don't know if some third party writes the lines and talking points that illegal immigration supporters use, but sometimes it certainly seems that way. For instance, here are four quotes from Marco Rubio, George W Bush, Barack Obama, and Dick Armey of FreedomWorks all explaining away the inevitability of illegal immigration. Try to guess who said which (answers below): 1. "Many people who come...

Are you a construction worker, an office worker, a plumber, a factory worker, or a cashier? Work at McDonald's or another restaurant? If so, there's a good chance you're a Democrat. And there's an even better chance that the DREAM Act that Obama enacted on Friday will have a negative impact on you. If you're an unemployed lower-skilled worker, Obama just made your situation all that much worse....

The Barack Obama administration has bypassed Congress and passed what amounts to the DREAM Act by executive fiat (link). The Obama administration will stop deporting and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and have since led law-abiding lives. The election-year initiative addresses a top priority of an influential Latino electorate that has...

... this or all the other entries on Obama immigration) about their post, I wouldn't get links from major rightwing bloggers or Tea Parties adherents on Twitter. [3] A radio ad from the pro-Newt Gingrich PAC "Winning Our Future" makes that point: that Gingrich stands a much better chance of being able to intellectually challenge Obama and come out ahead. Based on Gingrich's performances in the...

... enforcement Obama has done (see Obama immigration). Instead, they agree with many on the left who oppose immigration enforcement and who live in a fantasy world where illegal aliens don't take jobs that Americans could be doing. 3. Milbank's column includes this: The party's presidential candidates have done long-term damage by vowing opposition to the DREAM Act (legalization for illegal...

At yesterday's "Google+" web chat with Barack Obama, the wife of an unemployed semiconductor engineer embarrassed him over H1B visas for foreign workers. To a certain small extent, this is a vindication of the Question Authority plan I've been promoting for over five years. Under my plan, experienced questioners (such as trial lawyers) would have "cross-examined" Obama and other politicians over...

As you can see by the next link, nothing says "Permanent" quite like Temporary Protected Status. That government program allows foreign citizens to stay in the U.S. on a "temporary" basis due to disasters or strife in their homelands. It's important to note that those covered by it are here legally: they aren't illegal aliens. The issue is that TPS keeps getting extended year after year. Another...

... Gutierrez to go to bat for you. The Obama immigration policy is a recipe for even more illegal immigration now or in the future when the economy improves. Martha's case certainly might pull some heartstrings, and that's why Gutierrez is involved. The problem is that there are millions of illegal aliens in the U.S. in a similar position and unless we're going to declare something approaching open...

Congress might be holding hearings on Obama's mini-amnesty for up to (and maybe more than) 300,000 illegal aliens. From this unverified article [1]: ..(Elton Gallegly) and (Michael McCaul) will be conducting hearings as soon as Congress reconvenes. McCaul told American Thinker that he hopes to enact legislation that prevents the president from implementing this directive and will look to see if...

On August 18, Barack Obama's Department of Homeland Security announced an administrative amnesty that could cover 300,000 or more illegal aliens. The PDF here (write-up here) has a peek inside how that sausage was promoted, if not made. (Make sure and see each link if you aren't familiar with these groups; this site has more extensive archives on illegal immigration supporters than almost every...

The National Foundation for American Policy has released a compendium of suggestions to increase skilled immigration [1]. The groups offering suggestions include the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the AILA, and Tamar Jacoby; see [2] for more. And, as with all other proposals to increase skilled or low-skilled immigration or for amnesty, all of this happens against a backdrop of millions of Americans...

Barack Obama appeared at the National Council of La Raza convention earlier today; see the last link for our extensive coverage of that group. His unremarkable remarks are at [1]: he didn't really say anything that he hasn't said before. As he's done before, he misled, such as by using the system is broken canard. He also promoted the anti-American DREAM Act, a bill that would let the illegal...
