Sneaking In Amnesty

Immigration: For illegal immigrants, the good times are back. Workplace raids have been halved, and easily fudged paperwork audits are up. Make no mistake, this is a politically driven precursor to amnesty.

How times change. In 2007, an outraged public made itself heard to politicians by saying "enough" to policies that produced 12 million illegals in the U.S.

It sank the bipartisan 2007 immigration bill, dismissing it as "amnesty," and demanded enforcement of the law.

Now the President has said he will shift gears and go after the employers and in fact the number of employer audits have increased quite a bit, but having been an employer and if anyone else has been...there is a notice that you will be audited.

And as the article states...."Stepping up paperwork raids is no substitute for the real thing. It's political cover for amnesty."

"Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., plans to introduce legislation as early as December to provide a "path" to green cards for 12 million illegal immigrants."

Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano told the Center for American Progress recently that reform was in the air: "I know a major shift when I see one, and what I have seen makes reform far more attainable this time around."

Then there are labor unions that want amnesty as a means of roping in more members.

Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, who's big on unions, has on different occasions, including one witnessed by IBD at the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles, stood with Mexican officials before union members and assured that once a health care overhaul is done, immigration reform will be next.

Activists friendly to Obama, like the American Immigration Council and the Asian Law Caucus, almost as if on command, are also roused, sending e-mails to the media.

Got to tell you...this may be a very unpopular congress but they are active and will not stop !!!
