Immigration reform off the agenda


Posted: Apr 30, 2010

I especially love the line about not doing something just for the sake of politics - who is he kidding?  The whole reason it's not on the agenda anymore is because of politics!  And you can blame the republicans or the democrats - they're both just as guilty of doing what's right for themselves instead of what's right for the country!  A politician doesn't do anything that isn't for the sake of politics!

Immigration ReformApr 24, 2010
Click on O's pic and you can play the video. BTW, I applaud AZ for taking matters into their own hands since the government has been so lax in protecting its citizens from crimes committed by illegals. I think this has come to a head since the death of the farmer killed a few weeks ago. It is also a way to force the government to start paying attention.  Illegal is ILLEGAL. While others have come here legally, others have followed illegally.  It must be stopped but as an af ...

Immigration Reform — Not AmnestyNov 12, 2014
"We have all heard it said many times that America is a land of immigrants, some voluntary and some involuntary, but immigrants nevertheless. We have plenty of space in our country, but insufficient resources to support everyone who wants to come here. When we see innocent children used as political pawns, it still tugs at our heartstrings, which is the desired intent. The real question is, What are we going to do about it? Immigration reform has been a very tough issue, as well as a p ...

Mayor Bloomberg On Immigration ReformJul 02, 2010
While I agree with some things said, I totally disagree with giving all illegals a "pathway to citizenship." http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/york-mayor-bloomberg-immigration-jobs-lebron-james-11071170 But, as I delve into more and more of this information, I found this problem with the current system with those applying legally to come to this country.

Obama On Comprehensive Immigration ReformMay 12, 2011
President Barack Obama renewed his push for comprehensive immigration reform Tuesday, citing America's legacy as a nation of immigrants and saying that finding a solution for millions of undocumented workers is critical to the country's common future. "We define ourselves as a nation of immigrants -- a nation that welcomes those willing to embrace America's precepts," Obama said during a visit to El Paso, Texas. "It doesn't matter where you come from. What matters is that y ...

Gang Of Eight's Immigration Reform Is VERY FlawedApr 27, 2013
ICE Officer and President of the National ICE Council testified at a hearing on the immigration bill that the Gang of Eight are trying to push through Congress - again, without anyone being able to read it. Sound familiar? Will they have to pass it to find out what's in it? I am so disgusted with these Senators, a couple that I had high respect for...and now this. There are so many loopholes that it will be another fiasco. Back when the amnesty was passed, we only had how many illegals in ...

Immigration Reform S. 744 Passes SenateJun 27, 2013
Don't think it will pass the House. Border security is NOT first in this bill and Janet Napolitano is the one who will make the decision on whether the border is secure or not...and we all know she thinks it is secure...that's why they never finished the fence. Yet the border agents are saying it's not secure and....well, if it WAS secure, how did 11 Million illegal immigrants cross it? This bill also sets limits on ag workers, lower than what it is now.  BTW, vote was 68-3 ...

Immigration Reform -Reagon, Bush 41 And 43 Nov 16, 2014
I have not copied the whole articles since it would take up too much room. I HAVE POSTED THE LINKS AFTER THE ARTICLE. It's up to everyone to go to those links  to read the whole article.The last time Congress enacted sweeping immigration reform was back in 1986. That bill, signed by Ronald Reagan, looked a lot like the proposals being put forward today. There was a path to citizenship for existing illegal immigrants, coupled with tighter border enforcement. What did the 1986 ...

Obama: GOP 'nativists' Blocking Immigration ReformDec 29, 2014
In a discussion about his recent executive actions on immigration, President Obama called out "nativists" in the Republican Party who he claimed are obstructing immigration reform,in an interview with NPR published on Monday morning. "The question then becomes, by me having taken these actions, does that spur those voices in the Republican Party who I think genuinely believe immigration is good for our country? Does it spur them to work once again with Democrats and my administration to get a r ...

Republicans Agree It's The Wrong Time For Immigration ReformApr 28, 2010
By Heather Monday Apr 26, 2010 5:00pm Mitch McConnell and Saxby Chambliss were both reading from the same script when asked about Arizona's new "show me your papers" immigration law. Mitch McConnell claimed he "hadn't studied it" and Saxby Chambliss called it a state's rights issue. Both of them claimed that the Congress just can't deal with immigration reform because there are too many other things they need to get done. Yeah, so few days, so many more bills and nominations ...

Financial ReformDec 11, 2009
Thoughts on the bill passed in the House today? Too little, too much? I think it's a good step but there are no guarantees Big Business won't find loopholes. In fact, I'm quite sure they will try. In the meantime, however, it sends a good message that we will be watching.  I'm also sure the senate will take months with this. Will that lead to a watered-down version? I guess it depends on how hard the constituents press their elected officials.  NJ ...

Financial ReformJul 18, 2010
I have been reading articles on what is, and what is not, included in this new law. Not a single article agrees this is real reform.  It still gives Wall Street (SEC) and big banks the freedom to do what they want. This is not good. It's what I've been saying all along.  The idea of financial reform was supposed to stop the abuse, but it may give the above more free rein in what they do.  I'm posting one article from MSNBC.

Why I Am Opposed To Health Care ReformMar 19, 2010

Is Health Care Reform Constitutional?Mar 22, 2010
According to what I have been reading today, NO. The government cannot force us to buy health insurance: "But the individual mandate extends the commerce clause's power beyond economic activity, to economic inactivity. That is unprecedented.
