When is Amnesty not Amnesty?
May 12th, 2009 by admin
The debate has started once again. Congress is holding hearings on what may eventually be a breakthrough in the immigration stalemate. That is, if the economy does not derail the latest attempt to deal with undocumented workers.
The concern on the part of some is that allowing legalization of people who entered the United States illegally, or remained in the United States illegally, after entering with a visa, is unfair to those who have been waiting in line for years. In effect, amnesty penalizes those who have tried to do things the right way.
And, what happened to the Rule of Law? Read the rest of this entry »

In over 6,000 worksite arrests made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last year only a paltry 135 were employers. The rest targeted were all illegal aliens.
Today the Department of Homeland Security published a “Fact Sheet” essentially scrapping old immigration enforcement methods to focus instead on the employers who knowingly violate the law by hiring illegals--and criminal aliens. Read the rest of this entry »

Homeland Secretary Calls for Repeal of Real ID Act
April 29th, 2009 by admin
In response to a question at a conference of the Anti-Defamation League, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said she plans to work with governors to repeal the REAL ID Act, which was passed in 2005. The Act has specific identification requirements for driver’s licenses and identification cards. While states would benefit by not incurring the responsibilities and costs associated with validating citizenship or permanent resident status for holders of driver’s licenses, this move will certainly add to the immigration controversy.

President Obama Intends to Address Comprehensive Immigration Reform
April 13th, 2009 by admin
The New York Times reported last week that the White House will take steps to tackle the controversial subject of immigration by the end of this year. the President will speak publicly in May, and serious work on legislation will begin in the summer with the expectation that legislation will be ready in the fall.
Many people see this as a natural step for the President to take since he is fulfilling a campaign promise. While the immigration system is dysfunctional to say the least, there is strong opposition to comprehensive legislation, especially in a time when many Americans have lost jobs.
