Although America has already shown a historic height of dissatisfaction regarding our current President, the most alarming rejection is recently coming from a very surprising sector of politics: members of his own party.  In a recent White House meeting, the nation’s democrat governors grumbled against the recent legal attack on Arizona for their newest immigration enforcement law S.B. 1070. Discussing it Democratic Governor Phil Bredesen said, “Universally the governors are saying, ‘We’ve got to talk about jobs,’ and all of a sudden we have immigration going on.” 

While the statement may bring a sigh of relief to some who are happy to see that at least our state leaders know what really needs attention, deeper within their rejection of the lawsuit, you see nothing but the dangerous hunger of the liberals. Despite this lawsuit being an example of a nation attacking itself from within in an already challenging time, it wasn’t the action that the governors are snubbing but the timing of the action so close to November of 2010. 

It is not problematic that the lawsuit involved an already approved federal law which a state government saw being unused and decided to activate it for their and the nation’s safety, but the timing of its announcement and proceedings is dangerous. Already the words “Democrat” and “incumbent” are dire terms when it comes to the pending November Elections.  It seems now, at least to the democrats, the phrase “immigration lawsuit” may be joining the anti-electoral mix for their reasons however and not the right ones. 

Despite the aggression being felt from within their party, the fight against Arizona not only continues on but may be increased.  At the same time of the meeting, Attorney General Eric Holder stated during an interview that yet another lawsuit is in the process. It was further said that the additional legal action will be regarding prospective racial profiling that may occur by following the law.  This is despite the law actually dictating against racial profiling and, as said before, saying nothing more than what a disregarded federal law had already established.

It is not the timing of the lawsuit Democrats up for re-election should worry about but the lawsuit itself as well as the related attacks from speeches against Arizona to prospective additional lawsuits.  A recent Quinnipiac University poll stated 51 percent support SB-1070, 45 percent believe it is a step to reduce illegal immigration and 76 percent oppose any and all boycotts against Arizona.  Hence, it is the lawsuit that is the error, not the timing. 

Why are they not against the lawsuit as a whole? Because they see the polls and the people who are outside of their office doors ready to vote against them in November. It is not just Obama which will be rewarded by amnesty but all Democrats.  Hence, once again the Democratic Party has shown us once again they have no problem being against us as long as at means the possibility of re-election.   Whether it’s the fact that the nation is literally attacking one of its own or the timing of the announcement and proceedings, the only real action we are seeing is a continuation of a frivolous lawsuit from people who claim to be the party of the Americans.  While they may scream that they know what we need in the end, actions speak louder than words and their current activity screams one word and one word only: AMNESTY.

In an attempt to show face regarding the illegal immigration issue, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency recently began discussing an avenue which they believe shows that they know how to cure the infectious problem.  “Silent Raids”, announced as an immense step in immigration reform, is an activity where Federal Enforcement Agents quietly audit employee records of companies for possible illegal immigrants on their payroll.

            There are many life-sized holes in this objective. The first one is one that stretches an already increasing gap in our nation.  As Republican Senator Jeff Sessions said recently about the possible cure, “Even if discovered, illegal aliens are allowed to seek employment elsewhere.” Only one factor of the lawbreakers regarding this is affected by the action and the real criminals we should be concerned about are walking free.  ICE may not realize it but there are businesses even they haven’t seen not to mention the reality that most illegal workers do not work within paperwork standards but through Cash and other ways of payment. 

            Staying on the aspect of employees, a New York Times article discussing the supposed step toward immigration reform stated that one of the culprits who have been caught employing illegal aliens is applying for a federal guest worker program to import 1,200 short-term workers from countries such as Mexico. In 2006, the NPR reported nearly half of illegal immigrants overstayed their t visas. Hence, the aftermath of this “tough enforcement” is doing nothing more than adding salt to an already infected wound.

            Senator Sessions continued his statement raising yet another gap in this perspective.  Jobs which are already scarce are now being threatened by illegal aliens even further as they attempt to find other avenues of work.  At a time where General Managers of supermarkets have Doctorate Degrees, now we are going to threaten the small but surviving available jobs.  And with the scarcity, the minimum wage availability will plummet with the availability of such cheap labor that, as shown by ICE’s recent actions, can do no wrong.

         Finally, when these “silent” searches occur, the result is that the employer is notified of the discovery and told to remove the aliens immediately. This step not only is flawed considering no real demand is made to the companies once an illegal alien is found on their staff books, but no legal replacement is offered to the businessman. True, many companies see costs but the reality is not all of them can be watched.  

             This is not to say punishment shouldn’t be given to the businesses that employee illegal aliens but considering that the latter actually have the word illegal in their name, some brunt of the force should be felt on their side as well.  Nonetheless, once again the real criminal walks away while the American business is threatened with no replacement and full retribution.

            While ICE Chief John Morton calls this the start of “a culture of compliance” for employers, the real criminals walk free.  This just once again shows what the Administration and his followers really want out of these “work-site roundups”.   In a speech discussing this avenue, President Obama stated the program was to start a path for “a legislative overhaul to give legal status to millions of illegal immigrants”.  Amnesty is the only word in this man’s dictionary when it comes to immigration and it seems now he is no longer shying from saying it out loud.    Although Border Management Strategies President Mark Reed and others may describe this search as one that allows “No trauma, no drama, no families being torn apart,” the nation’s structure may be a different story.

Just hours ago it was announced that Tony West, a member of a group of lawyers who have represented terror suspects and are coined as “The Gitmo 9”, will be leading the Obama Administration in their suit against Arizona.  Arguing against the state taking a federal law that the national law enforcement were not using and making it a state requirement, every day this lawsuit shows more and more its conflicting objective: from being released first on international press to attacking a law that had been on the federal books for years. 

            West, who once represented “American Taliban” John Walker Lindh, later negotiating a 20 year sentence for the 21-year-old terrorist, to me screamed once again whose side our administration is on.  To take a man who has pre-existing involvement with one of the types of people Arizona is fighting to battle against shows the current leadership literally has no feeling or remorse for threatening our nation by attempting to nullify the needed strengthening of our borders.  With West’s help, the “American Taliban” did not face the Government’s most serious charges, including conspiracy to kill Americans and engaging in terrorism.

            Is this the type of person we want telling us how our borders should be?

            The Justice Department, lead by Attorney General Eric Holder, who was already quoted stating he created an opinion on the law before reading it, was already known for their political agenda even before S.B. 1070’s ink was dry.  If anything, this “selection” shows the pure audacity and frivolousness this lawsuit carries.  Someone who will actually attempt to reduce the charges of a terrorist obviously should not be involved in a factor of how some have gotten to us such as the borders.  Nonetheless, here is the blind leading the blind within an empty and costly case while the Americans continue to be at risk.

                When examining the documentation of the lawsuit, you see it states the Justice Department claims the federal government has “preeminent authority” on immigration enforcement and that the Arizona law “disrupts” that balance. What balance are they referring to?  We have already seen from numerous statistics that there is an incredible imbalance in our borders and the state was reacting to this with the enactment of S.B. 1070.  Further, if the “preeminent authority” that the Justice Department supposedly has on the nation’s border security was worth anything Arizona wouldn’t have had to adopt any laws nor be risked or killed by people crossing the borders illegally. 

          Once again we are seeing an administration’s attempt to control our nation for the good of themselves and not for the good of the people.  Once our President realized the real Americans are ready to respond in droves against him in 2010 and 2012, he fought to keep the dream of amnesty alive. America to Obama: Not on our watch.

It is no secret that, now with campaign season in full swing, time has run out when it comes to having any more liberal agenda items tear through our nation.  As this and the fact that Democrats have a losing chance at continuing to hold on the states after November, Pelosi’s reaction has been to create and reign in troops who will do what the Democrats don’t have time to do.

Recently, she approached the Catholic Church through a speech to Nation’s Catholic Community conference for assistance in increasing the push against Arizona’s new law and for amnesty.  Continuing to say reprieving illegal aliens for entering the country against our laws is a “Manifestation of our living the Gospels”, the manifestation she is looking for is that her and the Democrats have an easy November.  Attempting to pass the unconstitutional torch to a collection of people who will not lose their jobs come Election Day, Pelosi is attempting to have her religious counterparts and constituents to be her newest cronies for nothing other than the future of the party.  A catholic, Pelosi requested religious leaders to turn their followers’ heads against the right of Arizona and for the right of the illegal.

Whenever the issue of illegal immigration enters the mainstream media, this has and will continue to be a highly raised inquiry.  With the recent reactions to Arizona’s newest immigration law, this question has been raised yet again.  Not only is this legislation a response to a state’s own daily issues with the threat, Arizona’s government was also taking action for what is best for our country; nonetheless calls of racism and comparisons to the holocaust have been made in addition to this age old question: When it comes to employment, are there jobs Americans don’t want to do?

To some, the thought of this question brings visions of people tilling acres and acres of farms.  However, the jobs that are really being discussed through this are more mainstream and hence, not as risky or challenging.  There are different jobs which are being filled by illegal aliens that Americans, especially young citizens, would in fact sign on for.  From house painting to gardening, the issue of unemployment’s increase and its current effects on the nation, one has to wonder if this question really is an aspect of defending illegal immigration any more.

Obama’s litmus test has one thing on it: For the Good of the Party

Nobody needs a crystal ball to see we are in a time of incredible governmental challenge. The nation has, as a result of a hypnotized monopoly, been handed an inexperienced president and power-hungry majority who leads him. Until 2010 and then 2012, there are many errors they will make which we will have to pay for and afterward, clean up in hopes that few lives are affected until then. Once again, Obama has shown his amateur experience by inadvertently reacting to legislation with nothing in mind but his own power.

After the Arizona Bill SB 1070 was enacted into law, suddenly our president awoke and demanded the Supreme Court to examine the legality of what it contains. After Arizona asked for federal assistance after rancher Robert Krentz was killed in an area known for illegal human trafficking and was responded to with silence, our president is questioning their internal reactions to deal with the issue before another life is lost. It seems Obama believes defending a border state, and hence the country, against unknown unlawful inhabitants is unconstitutional.
