Homeland Security confirms Obama’s plan to offer illegal immigrants amnesty
Homeland Security director, Janet Napolitano, has confirmed what we all knew was Obama’s position; he is going to push for an immigration reform bill that will provide amnesty for the 14 million illegal immigrants now estimated to be in the country.
A tough and fair pathway to earned legal status will mandate that illegal immigrants meet a number of requirements—including registering, paying a fine, passing a criminal background check, fully paying all taxes and learning English
While I like the idea that illegal aliens would have to pay their taxes and learn English is there anybody out there that thinks these guidelines will ever be met or enforced by the administration?
Janet Napolitano uses the argument that once illegals become legal and begin to pay their taxes that it will strengthen the economy. Somebody please explain to me how we can add 14 million “workers” to the workforce, who will be taking jobs away from Americans who are searching desperately for work, and this will help the economy.
The fact is that these illegals will take jobs away from American citizens, and please don’t try to tell me that they are only doing the jobs that Americans will not do. With an unemployment rate over 10%, and with Obama’s policies in place the number is sure to climb, there are no jobs that desperate Americans will not do if it means putting food on the table.
Barack Obama should be focusing his attention on creating more jobs for the American people, not on creating more legal workers for jobs that are not there.
But there is another angle to this story that I want to explore, and that is the healthcare issue. Barack Obama continues to claim that there are 40 million AMERICANS without healthcare insurance but that is not true. There may be 40 million people living in America who do not have healthcare but 14 million of them are illegal aliens. Obama has also claimed that no illegal alien will be granted free healthcare under his reform bill and if he manages to legalize the 14 million illegals I suppose that statement will be true. Once Obama provides the 14 million illegals with amnesty they will be American citizens and will then be eligible for healthcare. Obama will give illegals healthcare insurance– he just plans on legalizing them first. He is playing the age old game of bait and switch.

THIS SHOULD MAKE ALL THE TERRORISTS,MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS AND GUN DEALERS AND MURDERS HAPPY.
What part of NO AMNESTY doesn’t obama understand? We went throught this before and made our voices heard. Now he wants to give these criminals AMNESTY again? ENFORCE the law, obama! We got 16 million Americans out of work while illegal aliens are doing jobs Americans could have. If amrnsty were given to these criminals, you can bet big money that three years from now, we would have another 5 million illegal aliens demonstrating on our soil for amnesty. ENFORCE THE LAW!
Better question – what part of NO doesn’t Obama understand!
None of it!
This man “Obama” is a pathalogical liar and needs to be removed from office asap…after all, he’s not eligible as a nationalized citizen and has no right in our Whitehouse.
I have never seen so much negativity happen in our country in my entire life, and I’m almost 71 yrs old. Everyone is shaking their head, not understanding what is happening. Well, they had better open their eyes and look around them…the illegals in our country are not just the Mexican’s, but millions of Middle Easterner’s that mean us a great deal more harm than the Mexicans.
WAKE UP AMERICAN, LOOK AROUND YOU. THIS IS NO LONGER THE 50’s, 60’s or even the 90’s…this is a whole new world we’re living in, and our’s is being destroyed everyday we sit back and keep our mouths shut and do nothing to help protect ourselves, our children, even our great grandchildren…
I may not have a college degree, but you can bet I’ve got a lot more common sense than those sitting in Washington. Why won’t our elected politicians stand up and do their part to protect us? Are they that afraid of Obama, or is it they’re stupid and agree with what he’s doing to our country, if that’s the case…let’s get them out fast.
They are destroying our Constitution and our country.
I wonder, though if he even cares that we know he is lying.Maybe he shares Bill Maher’s sentiment of “they’re stupid, just drag them to it”.
I don’t think that he does care, he is an arrogant narcissist and he really doesn’t give a damn what we think. It is all about him.

whether they like the wage or not, is another thing. Immigrants are willing to work for less wages.
and not all immigrants come to get jobs, but to OPEN new jobs for other people by opening businesses.
so you think ALL illegal immigrants are criminals… Don’t stereotype… Most of these illegal immigrants are working their ass off to help their families survive in other poor countries, not unlike most of the citizens that are just being a couch potato and doing nothing but wait… These people are in fact helping America’s economy when they send money in other countries… And they’re not trying to take away jobs from citizens, they are just hardworking people, so beat the crap out and don’t talk shit about these good people…
If a person is in this country illegally that means they broke the law to get here, that means they are criminals. It is a pretty simple concept actually, I am surprised that you find it so hard to understand. I am not saying that all of these people will commit additional crimes, that seems to be what you think that I meant, but the fact remains that they committed a crime just by coming here in the manner that they did while people who are trying to come here legally are left waiting.
I agree. And also, most illegal immigrants are the ones that are doing all the dirty work for us Americans. Such as construction, gardening, and keeping our society clean. Come on, people. Understand what position they’re in right now. I can understand why most U.S. citizens are against amnesty, but is it going to hurt us that bad to grant these people amnesty? All they are trying to do is improve their lives by looking for jobs and opportunities in this country. I believe that Obama has very good intentions for our country; why else would he have ran for president? It’s time to open our hearts and minds to the future and stop criticizing Obama so harshly for the good he’s TRYING to do.
Yes it will hurt us that bad.
All Illegals aren’t “Terrorist”, and all Illegals aren’t “Mexican’s”. I’ve said before, and I’ll say it again, many Mexican’s come to the U.S. with little education, they work hard, and stand in line buying Money Orders to send their money home to family on payday. Then you have the Mexican drug dealers that cause much harm to everyone…you can bet they’re not sending their money home to family for food or housing…then we come to the Illegal Middle Easterner’s who come to our country well educated, speaking two or more languages, and well trained in their criminal activities, with number one being, how to play the “Dumb American’s” and get anything they want. I find it amazing that everyone from the Middle East was so wealthy, they come and open their own business, never, ever working for anyone but themselves or family. Do you find that strange? Then we’ve got the same group that come here, commit their crimes making large profits and sharing those profits with terrorist organizations, keeping enough to open their own business, but continuing on with their crimes, i.e., cigarette smuggling, as there’s a lot more profit in something illegal, than running a legal business while being here illegally…hey the Dumb American’s, they will even give you a government loan “SBA” allowing them to buy or build their own new convenience store a lot easier than you or I as legal American’s could ever dream of accomplishing…If you doubt me, ask Mohamoud Hammoud the leader of the Charlotte cell, he know how to do it and never be punished, bet he’s teaching others in the federal prisons how to work out system while we speak.
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t start this out to down anyone, but an “ILLEGAL IS AN ILLEGAL” I don’t care where he comes from. Being in the U.S. illegally is a felony, and should be treated as such. But instead, our Dumb President wants to give them Amnesty making them all legals…yeah, right..I don’t think so. We need o make our leaders enforce our laws and prosecute the illegals, not make them legal. Let them come to our country legally, and do it the way our forefathers did, the right way. Otherwise, send them back to their own country, and if they don’t like it, let them change their country, not ours.
