The latest thing to worry about is whether Obama will allow immigrants to get amnesty. This would have the effect of a meteor smashing into the earth. The NY Times would hope that all people would be given immediate citizenship to increase their dwindling readership.
I will defer to my esteemed Congressman Ron Paul for my thoughts on this: "No Amnesty, No Welfare for Illegal Aliens".
Obama has promised to address this in his first 100 days in office to Hispanic groups. This should be interesting as Mark Krikorian from the National Review says, "The first opportunity is his illegal-alien Auntie Zeituni living in Boston. Make that his visa-overstaying, fugitive illegal-alien aunt living on welfare in Boston. At least she was in Boston until the London Times found out about her, using such unfamiliar techniques as reading Obama's memoir and doing a Google search; she fled to relatives in Cleveland since. "
Although John McCain was for amnesty, most Republicans were and are not. Saying we will enforce the laws in the future is not very nurturing to the public. Where is Ron Paul when we need him most?

I agree - we must enforce our laws. And, like the "war in drugs", we focus too much on the supply, when we should go after the demand.
ReplyDeleteThe example of Agriprocessors in Iowa (which of course is going to strangle the kosher meat industry - as someone who buys kosher meat, this is unnerving) is illuminating. The CEO was arrested for falsifying documentation for 200 workers, although I think he got off (not sure). But we must make the market amenable to the hiring of American workers, and we must enforce the law better against the folks who hire the illegal workers.
