 If it seems like
you've been hearing about more immigration raids lately;
you're right. There were three times more immigration
arrests in 2006 than there were in 2005....and five times
more than 2004. This year -- in just three months -- the
immigrations and customs enforcement agency has arrested
twice as many people on criminal immigration charges than
they did in all of 2005.
Seems like good news, right? Yea, not so much. I'll explain
in a second, but first I want you to read this transcript
from a part of President Bush's press conference in Mexico
yesterday...
"A lot of Americans were deeply concerned that the United
States was not enforcing our laws. They felt like there
wasn't a commitment to the rule of law. Over the past year,
I believe we have shown the American people that there is a
strong commitment to the rule of law and I think members of
Congress are now feeling more comfortable that the country
is committed to rule of law, which then makes some more open
mined to my argument, which is that if we can have migration
reform, it will make it less likely somebody will feel like
they have to sneak across our border, and therefore, take
pressure off the border. In other words, security for the
country, border security, will be enhanced by a good
migration law."
Is there anyone except the President that really feels that
way? I don't know a soul; I think Americans feels like
they're being played for fools. I hate to say it, but the
Real Story is that all of these raids you're seeing now are
just for show. I hate to tell you, Mr. President but a few
months of tough enforcement doesn't convince anyone that
you're serious.
You may not be hearing about it in the media, but there are
closed door meetings happening right now in Washington on a
major immigration reform bill. And guess what? Any chance of
that bill passing hinges on the ability of our politicians
-- and most importantly -- our President -- to convince
people that they are finally enforcing the law.
But mark my words -- it is just a smokescreen. As soon as
the ink from the President's signature is dry, the crack
downs will end; millions of illegals will be on the path to
citizenship; and there won't be a damn thing any of us can
do about it. If you don't believe me, go type "1986 Amnesty"
into Google and read about what happened after President
Reagan granted amnesty to 2.7 illegal immigrants. Let's just
say that it didn't exactly stop new aliens from trying to
get in here. Those who don't know history are doomed to
repeat it.
There's something else the President said in that clip you
just saw; something that nobody is talking about...did you
pick up on it? While in Mexico, he started referring to
illegal immigration, as quote: "Migration." Mr. President,
you may think that no one's watching what you say; how
you're pandering to Mexico -- but we are watching and we see
exactly what's going on. This was no slip of the tongue,
this was a calculated and premeditated change; and,
unfortunately for you: I've got the video to prove it.
