Typically, we know that Barry speaks in generalities, skirts the issues, provides little of substantive policy. Good thing Michelle Obama is there to tell us what he really thinks and wants to do, eh?
Hispanics should not have to live in fear of raids by immigration agents, Michelle Obama told a Hispanic caucus to the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.
Her husband, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, wants to reform immigration policies and provide illegal immigrants a path to citizenship, she said.
“We would have an immigration policy that brings 12 million people out of the shadows,” she told cheering caucus members who shouted “Yes we can” in Spanish.
Now we know. Rather then apply The Law, a President Obama would offer up to people who started their time in America by breaking federal criminal law a free pass to being citizens. You came illegally? You are stealing American jobs and illegally stealing American identities, harming peoples credit and their lives? Here’s a free pass. Vote Democrat.
Polls on the subject are rarely taken, but, most find that a majority of Americans are concerned about people coming here illegally, that they do not want them getting free government services, and that they should NOT be given a free pass to citizenship. I won’t say that Barack is completely wrong on some of his minor draft of an immigration policy points, but, we only have to listen to his wife to know that he prefers total amnesty.
Perhaps if the illegals made the attempt to learn English and did not seclude themselves off, not to mention the violence against Americans, people would feel different.
And, yes, Reagan did allow something similar, but for much fewer people, which was a mistake.
McCain says he has learned his lesson. He needs to prove it, though. His plan is more detailed, includes enforcement first, nails companies that hire illegals, then gets a little wishy washy on a path to citizenship. He does seem to want illegals to leave and then apply for citizenship like everyone else has to, though.
