Why Federal Immigration Reform isn't Reform

As predicted by Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and others, the debate is beginning to shift from the lost cause that is Health Care Reform over to so-called Immigration Reform. The Associated Press reports that "thousands of immigrant rights advocates marched in front of a county jail in Phoenix last Saturday in a protest that was aimed at Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's immigration efforts and was marked by a clash between a small group of protesters and police officers."

Judging by the pictures from the protest, I would have to say that this is either an astroturf movement or a protest formed by illegals in the first place.

Constitutionally speaking, the states are the ones who have the authority to admit immigrants into their respective states, thereby admitting people into the Union. Article 1 Section 9 states:

The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.
Now, that is not to say that the Congress can not make changes to the law, however, judging by the state of immigration affairs today, I can tell you that they have probably royally messed it up. It definitely needs to be fixed, given the fact that Osama bin Laden can walk into the country from Mexico and get a job driving a cab in Los Angeles; and we would be none the wiser.

However, the Charlatans in the Democrat Party would have you believe that amnesty is the answer. Amnesty is not reform! It won't keep the bad guys out of this country any better than a three-foot high chain link fence stretched from El Paso to San Diego. In fact, the fence would work better!

The whole idea behind the concept of legal immigration is the basic principle of having the choice as to whether or not we let a specific person (or group of people) in! Maybe it's time we just ignore our elected Progressives when they campaign this year and just vote for the guys who actually want to protect us and the American way of life. I could stand to see the same disappointment on their faces that I saw on Martha Coakley's (I smiled watching her concede).

Hey Slacker Mc Slacky, I see you got yourself a minion. You and your right-wing conservitive veiws just don't hold up to the light of day. If they did you would be posting more.

Or did you forget where the "Comments" button was?

Unlike you I have a real job, teaching.

One: I hold down two jobs, including this one.
Two: I work more than nine months per year at more than 40 hours per week.
Three: Indoctrinating children is not a real job, no matter how much wealth that Joseph Goebbels amassed doing it.

Also, if you're an English teacher, then my kids will never go to your school. (See your first comment, you non-spelling schmutz!)

First off, I teach "Economics in the New Green Economy".

Secondly, I have seen how much sitting on your butts that you "Army" types do. I wouldn't call that work. It's more like welfare with assault rifles.

Well Van Jones, you got me. It hurts so bad... Not so much.

"Economics in the New Green Economy" is as effective of a class as Underwater Basket Weaving. I could probably sum up your entire syllabus in one sentence:

Give Iran, Venezuela, Somalia and all the other banana republics all of your money, so they can murder themselves while you freeze, starve and die.

As to your "welfare" comment. I could agree with you if it wasn't more like prison with assault rifles. Of course you would know that if you had a spine, and actually contributed to the defense of your free speech.

Your just a bully!!

Who bullies bullies.

Of course, on the side I destroy Progressive ideologies with facts and the truth.

First off, get your whiney-Prius-driving-progressive-loving-possibly-Canadian-F**KTARDED-ASS off of this site.

Second, you obviously don't have a real job. I have searched for your "class" on every search engine, with no results. You obviously teach at a community College. That's not real teaching. Who is the lazy one now!

Third, anyone who would think that the green economy was a good thing and the "ARMY" is a bad thing; has so much hippy in them that they must be the result of an unholy coupling between two draft-dodging hippies.

In conclusion, stop whining and SHUT THE F**K UP!!
