Obama Isn’t a Champion for Immigration Reform
The Obama administration has been making some noise lately by suggesting that it intends to push for comprehensive immigration reform next spring — just not push too hard.
Instead of pressuring Congress to pass new laws to fix our broken immigration system — and it’s hard to find anyone on the right or the left who disputes that the system is broken — the administration seems most comfortable simply enforcing the laws we already have.
Not that there is anything wrong with that. As the son of a retired cop, I tend to approve of the concept of enforcing the law. That is, unless, of course, that’s the extent of your strategy to solve a complicated problem that doesn’t lend itself to simple solutions. You’ll recall that the “enforcement only” approach to immigration reform didn’t work out so well when Republicans in Congress tried it during the last flare-up of the immigration debate a few years ago.
In fact, ironically, Obama himself was a vocal critic of that approach. And, at the time, he was right to criticize it.
Just look at what happens along the U.S.-Mexico border. We round up and deport illegal immigrants to Mexico, and they come back before the paperwork has been processed. We build walls and fences on the border, and we only end up increasing the undocumented population in the United States by caging in those who are already here and preventing them from returning home because they think it will be too difficult to come back. We raid businesses that hire illegal immigrants but we only tend to have enough handcuffs for the immigrants, so we let the employers go free so they can employ again. And the cycle continues.
In fact, it’s telling that the best weapon we’ve found against illegal immigration is a faltering U.S. economy. In fact, it makes you question the return we’ve received on the billions of dollars we’ve spent on immigration enforcement for the last few decades.
So imagine the surprise when the president designated as his point person for achieving comprehensive immigration reform the nation’s chief law enforcement officer for immigration laws. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano sits atop the pyramid that includes the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). For some reason, Obama has entrusted with the responsibility of finding a way for millions of illegal immigrants to stay in the United States the cabinet member who oversees the agency responsible for removing them.
Brilliant. And judging from some of her recent words and deeds, it seems that Napolitano is much more enthusiastic about removing than she is about retaining.
Well he should be how else did this Kenyan/Indonesian/Mohammedan Soetero?(now where is that goldarn name change document last time I saw it it was with my Vault BC and all my school, College,Senate, Bar and ACORN documents) /Obambi (so who really knows who and what he is really WHERES THE BC OBAMBI) get here?
“On Tuesday, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) is expected to introduce a comprehensive immigration reform bill.”
Rep. Luis Gutierrez needs to face reality. He is seemingly wasting his time. Barack Obama is a marginalized president. He has no remaining political capital to push any sort of major domestic bills through Congress. In other words, nothing significant is likely going to happen within the next three years. We should instead further focus on perhaps the most important thing we are already doing: assisting employers in finding out if their job applicants can legally work in the United States. That’s the practical beginning and the end of the matter. The cost is relatively low. This may alone solve 90% of the illegal immigration problem.
Shut up Ruben. I confirm over to PJ Media to confirm that I am correct for I disliking Obama and you are ruining it. Thanks a lot.
Ruben, I sometimes think you must be putting us all on with your incessant calls for amnesty for illegals. There is one sure way to solve our(illegal) immigration problem. Prove you have citizenship or a green card before you get a job or any taxpayer benefits. OK amigo!
Everyone must be warned before coming to the United States. Even if you have a visa, you are putting yourself at risk of Homeland Security ICE officers. I have a best friend that is from Paris France here on an education visa to finish his degree. He has been here since 2005. His visa is valid until March of 2010, His passport is valid until 2014, and his I-20 is current. He is not illegal. In 2008 He fell in love and married a U.S. citizen that just happens to be addicted to Prescription medications, He knew nothing about this. But he was arrested due to her mistakes. He was placed in detention, scheduled for deportation. He has been in detention center in Pompano Beach Florida for 5 months now. All this because of her mistakes. She should be the one in jail not him. Please everyone coming to America. Think twice. This couple has lost all there savings on lawyers, she lost her job, and they are in the process of losing there home. All this was caused because ICE has the wrong person in jail. They make up any story they want and when they are questioned about it you get nowhere. I have written many letters to Janet Napolitano, Senator Bill Nelson, and even President Obama. But no one will listen to the truth. So please people think twice about coming to America for any reason. Our immigration system is broken ….they all agree, but you put your life at risk when you enter our borders. Even if you follow the rules you may also lose everything as this couple has. No one will listen, no one cares.This man has never even had a traffic ticket and they have him in jail for 5 months now at the tax payers expence. Why? I can think of better things to do with my tax dollars. Like health reform that would actulally help people. He is 51 yrs old what harm can he do. He has always been self supportive. never worked in America, Just study!
Prove you have citizenship or a green card before you get a job or any taxpayer benefits.
We’re a nation of laws, not men. Therefore we can’t have a double standard like that. If you don’t have to prove your citizenship for high elected office, you shouldn’t have to prove it to work for a minimum wage job either.
Regards
I echo David Thomson’s sentiment.
E-Verify in every business, big or small, the illegals will leave by attrition.
As well as not allowing welfare, WiC, Section 8 Housing, in-state tuition and other taxpayer funded waste..
Obama,
You are a lier and you are just like Bush…..You are a one term President. Let us unite my Latino brothers and sisters and not vote for this so called President the second time.
Well, duh.
What did Obama do for illegal immigrants when he was in Chicago? Heck, what did Obama do for anybody other than the well-heeled, well-connected when he was in Chicago?
It’s similar to various gay rights groups who have found out that Obama isn’t pushing their agenda, either. Well, had Obama done anything for you before?
The groups who can [try to] rely on Obama would be those who are pro-abortion rights and unions. Also, corrupt people of his own party. Seems to cover the bases.
Navarrette doesn’t even understand the current situation when he tries to pretend that DHS is conducting raids and then deporting the workers. In fact, what they’re doing is *not* deporting the workers, simply getting the company to fire them. Those workers are then free to find work at other companies. The DHS looks like it’s enforcing the laws while enabling illegal aliens (and future Dem voters) to remain in the U.S. while awaiting amnesty.
Navarrette doesn’t understand (or won’t reveal) how much of a scam most enforcement has been for the past several years: the establishment puts on a show while trying to allow as many “willing workers” as possible into the U.S.
The way to resolve this issue is to make it politically difficult to support anything but real enforcement. And, the best way to do that is to embarrass a top politician or official over this issue, such as by asking them on video for Youtube the question in the second update here:
http://24ahead.com/ask-janet-napolitano-questions-washington-dc-friday-november
Don’t bother with street protests, ranting at politicians at events, or all the rest. Find experienced people (like trial lawyers) and have them press politicians on things like that. Even if you can’t form a group yourself, the absolute least you can do is encourage those in your network to form such groups. If you do that, we can start resolving these problems.
While listening to arguments about the proposed health care bill, it occurred to me that the illegal aliens might just want that bill to fail. Suppose the bill passes and also there is an amnesty for illegal aliens. At that point the newly legal residents will be forced to purchase health insurance. No longer will they be able to go to an emergency room and get treated since ‘everyone’ will have insurance and they will have to produce their insurance card for services. If they don’t have insurance they can go to jail. Wow! Talk about unintended consequences. It seems that the illegals should not want the health care bill to pass and maybe should not want the amnesty to pass either. My personal preference is that both bills fail. Whaddya think, Ruben?
If an American of European descent claimed and rallied as relentlessly for massive white immigration from Western and Eastern Europe in order to swell the voter rolls and thereby forward a strictly white agenda, he or she would rightly be identified as a form of racist. If such an advocate also proposed that subsequent to their arrival, those masses of illegals from Europe for which he so relentlessly advocated should now be rewarded with citizenship, such a person might be identified as a very bad American without our nation’s welfare at heart. Worse, such an advocate for mass law-breaking and appeasement might even be considered a traitor to the American cause…
How is Ruben Navarette any different?
Why does this vile Mexican propagandist still get space at PJM ???
While I disagree with almost everything Navarette says, as usual, he almost makes some sense on this one. But before the flames start, read on…
1. Before anything else is done, we must have secure borders. As Navarette says until we can stop them coming back before they are fully out-processed, we are wasting time and money for nothing. Enforcement of the law can only start being effective if our borders are secured from them returning illegally and from new illegals coming in.
2. Illegals should be punished for breaking the law, but deportation is not the only kind of punishment. A stiff fine is also punishment, and my reasoning is explained below.
3. Kicking out all illegal aliens may be impossible, because by definition (illegal, undocumented) we do not know how many there are, where they are or who they are. Estimates are mere statistics, and statistics lie.
4. Good intentions can backfire. Trying to kick them out in some reasonable time frame will require more bureaucracy and bigger government, which can be used for other and almost certainly bad purposes. Note that almost every piece of legislation has a suffix …”and for other purposes”.
5. Making a blanket law to bounce every illegal is cutting off our nose to spite our face as the saying goes. We should want to keep the brightest and the best, those who have assimilated and are wealth creators and otherwise productive. We want to get rid of those who do not assimilate, are not productive, and are not wealth creators. We want to get rid of the criminals. As I said above, amnesty is not forgiveness when there is a suitable punishment. A very large, but affordable fine, payable in increments over a long enough period where missing payments or committing a crime results in deportation. Paying the whole fine over, say 5 years results in eligibility for citizenship. This is punishment for the crime of illegal entry. Productive people who have contributed positively to our country over a long period of time should not have to to go home and wait for bureaucracy. It is silly and counter productive.
6. The fines should not be paid to the federal government. They should be paid to legitimate, non-political charities in the local area, who have the most to gain from seeing that the payments are made.
Let the flames fly.
They should be paid to legitimate, non-political charities in the local area, who have the most to gain from seeing that the payments are made.
How long would it take to get ACORN listed as a “non-political charity”? About fifteen minutes, that’s how long. A large fine the payment of which makes one eligible for citizenship is no different than selling citizenship, so once the border is secure, drop all the hypocrisy and just sell citizenship rights to those wishing to become citizens.
About a quarter million per family member would ensure that we don’t get the shabby sort described on the statue of liberty. In fact, we could have a sliding scale for citizenship rights so that the oil kingdoms of the Middle East wouldn’t just purchase a few hundred thousand citizenships a month or something. We could even occasionally run a two for one sale, a Presidents day sale, and especially a Fourth of July sale, when we need to keep those all important quotas in line for various groups.
have a nice day
HERE IS HOW OBAMA COULD END HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT AND IMPROVE HIS POLL NUMBERS
1) USE E-VERIFY FOR EVERY EMPLOYEE HIRED IN THE USA.
2) PROSECUTE EMPLOYERS WHO KNOWINGLY HIRE ILLEGALS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW.
3) USE JOB STIMULUS MONEY TO BUILD A FENCE ALONG OUR BORDERS AND TO HIRE THOUSANDS OF BORDER PATROL AGENTS.
4) GIVE QUALIFIED US CITIZENS PREFERENCE OVER ALL DOCUMENTED AND UNDOCUMENTED FORIEGN WORKERS FOR ALL JOB OPENINGS. ONLY HIRE NON-CITIZENS WHERE IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
DO THIS AND IT WILL BRING UNEMPLOYMENT WAY DOWN. IT WILL ALSO BE GOOD FOR OUR ECONOMY AND MIGHT EVEN HELP TO GET OBAMA RE-ELECTED (GOD FORBID).
The immigration system is not broken, it is simply not used. The federal government has been choosing which parts of the system to use and which parts to ignore. This is not just Obama, it is EVERY president since Clinton took office. Remember the last fix for the ” broken immigrations system ” with amnesty. Guess what the enforcement part was never I say again never done.
A second point the 14th. Amendment was not intended to make every child born here no matter what the parents did a citizen.
Last point giving social benefits the illegals is just stupid and encourages people to come illegally.
The political system may be broken, and I would believe a promise from a whore before I believe any politician an fix a problem.
Financial services also – no checking accounts, credit cards, mortgages, etc for people who are here illegally. Given that banks are government regulated and now in many cases actually owned by taxpayers, this should be a no brainer.
rashputin, I agree with your point, but the only ay we wikll get the other points mentioned is if we have a responsible federal government, in which case ACORN and its affiliates will not be approved for anything, since they will all be in jail. As it looks today, a responsible federal government is an oxymoron, so I don’t expect any good solutions, but it can’t hurt to offer some. And I have not forgotten corrupt state and local government of which we have more than our share, but that’s another story for another day and a non-story if we can’t get the federal government to behave by whatever means it takes.
“1) USE E-VERIFY FOR EVERY EMPLOYEE HIRED IN THE USA.”
Forget your other three points. You are overcomplicating everything. Follow the KISS principle: Keep it simple, Stupid! The E-Verify system will resolve most of the problems. We should also make it retroactive. All present and future employees should be checked to find out if they can legally work in the United States.
We should sound like a broken record regarding E-Verify. There is little practical sense to talk about anything else. The other issues can be dealt with once we know the borders are secure.
I would like to see the US government brought up on treason charges against the American people for not securing our borders, illegal aliens on the sugar tit, anchor babies, and healthcare costs.
That being written, I would like to see employers fined for employing illegal aliens. Then, I want illegal alies deported, and the border militarized.
With the military in control of the border, work projects like cleaning the water, picking up the trash, building railroads, schools, roads, apartments etc… on both sides of the border.
Mexico is our neighbor. We should help. Just not with free stuff. That is Marxism.
BTW, if the Pope is going to tell poor people to not wear condoms, he can pay for the anchor babies, and ob/gyn ultrasound exams.
Obama’s only actual agenda is himself. He isn’t out to help anyone outside of his constituency of one.
Ruben claims that the “enforcement only” approach has been shown not to work. Did I miss something ? He knows as well as we all do that “enforcement” has never been properly applied. When did they
a. Crack down on ALL employers, and penalise them for cheating ?
b. Crack down on ALL illegal immigrants and deport those who shouldn’t be here ?
Then see what problem we are left with after these actions have been fully implemented.
(21)
“Obama’s only actual agenda is himself. He isn’t out to help anyone outside of his constituency of one.”
I agree. In fact, I think he should always be referred to as “King Julian Soeroto” after the lemur in “The Penguins of Madagascar”. That Lemur is the only other character real or imagined that even comes close to the self-worship Barry constantly displays.

Rampant population growth threatens our economy and quality of life. Immigration, both legal and illegal, are fueling this growth. I’m not talking about environmental degradation or resource depletion. I’m talking about the effect upon rising unemployment and poverty in America.
I should introduce myself. I am the author of a book titled “Five Short Blasts: A New Economic Theory Exposes The Fatal Flaw in Globalization and Its Consequences for America.” To make a long story short, my theory is that, as population density rises beyond some optimum level, per capita consumption of products begins to decline out of the need to conserve space. People who live in crowded conditions simply don’t have enough space to use and store many products. This declining per capita consumption, in the face of rising productivity (per capita output, which always rises), inevitably yields rising unemployment and poverty.
This theory has huge implications for U.S. policy toward population management, especially immigration policy. Our policies of encouraging high rates of immigration are rooted in the belief of economists that population growth is a good thing, fueling economic growth. Through most of human history, the interests of the common good and business (corporations) were both well-served by continuing population growth. For the common good, we needed more workers to man our factories, producing the goods needed for a high standard of living. This population growth translated into sales volume growth for corporations. Both were happy.
But, once an optimum population density is breached, their interests diverge. It is in the best interest of the common good to stabilize the population, avoiding an erosion of our quality of life through high unemployment and poverty. However, it is still in the interest of corporations to fuel population growth because, even though per capita consumption goes into decline, total consumption still increases. We now find ourselves in the position of having corporations and economists influencing public policy in a direction that is not in the best interest of the common good.
The U.N. ranks the U.S. with eight third world countries – India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Uganda, Ethiopia and China – as accounting for fully half of the world’s population growth by 2050. It’s absolutely imperative that our population be stabilized, and that’s impossible without dramatically reining in immigration, both legal and illegal.

More lies from Navarrette. Napolitano has openly and repeatedly endorsed amnesty. She has stopped employment raids completely, relying on audits to force companies to lay off illegals, but refuses to arrest the illegals. Illegals ordered deported are given reprieves and allowed to remain. There is no enforcement at all. Only already convicted criminals are being removed or arrested.
Can’t resist the satisfaction that Ruben’s latest is dripping with a recongnition boardering on surrender. Shock of shocks. In the midst of the worst economic conditions since Carter and 21% interest rates, when it looks like the American Dollar is genuinely threatend as the worlds reserve currency, Immigration reform appears to be in the high twenties on Obama’s priority list.
I luv it – TOLD YA SO RUBEN!
To David Thompson & James in Texas. I look back at how Kyle and Cornyn got savaged for their approach in ’06-’07. Besides an emphasis on national security (securing the boarders) a lynchpin was demanding those here illegally voluntarily self-deport. It also required the respective host countries – not just Mexico – organize & participate in any respective guest worker program. It essentally required latin countries to forgo the $$$ repatriated by the millions who came and worked here. Of course EVERYONE hated the idea.
James – your senator and mine were trying to do what you outlined. they both got a political bloody nose – and made zero progress.
My view is they were right – AND – that it will take a monumental effort to convince Mexico to partner with us to stem this flow and end the kind of invasion numbers we’ve been coping with since ’86. Mexico is the default ‘processing center’ for Latino migration; if they didn’t alow it – the millions from south & central America migrating here would stop.
It’s always been total BS that ‘nothing can stop’ the mythical beast of burden – literally magical worker unicorns – immigrants from coming here. Ditto the ‘jobs americans don’t want’ BS. Just as the financial meltdown has stripped naked the Madoff shysters – the dual focus of hard economic times and the drug war in mexico has stripped naked the straw men arguments of advocates like Ruben.
It was the fallout from 9/11 that made the boarder (a sieve allowing potentially deadly terrorists to walk through) politically relevant. That was the beginning. Now it’s about the eocnomics and logistics.
Likewise – immigration is too massive a problem for the US to solve alone. Now that Caulderon is desperate with his drug war – and everyone is reeling with this economy – there is a real possiblity that we can leverage Mexico to partner for actual immigration reform.
The key is whether latin countries to the south have sobered up to the reality that having foreign workers here no longer is a guarantee for essentially billions in aid.
I for one have believed that stopping Bush’s crappy idea of ‘solving’ immigration was a crucial victory. That victory entailed owning the debate – mainly that citizens demand we get back to selectively immigrating only the best and brightest from around the world – shifting the expense to those that bring them here (be it industry or academia) and end the free ride for Latino’s.
Who, like it or not, bring 3rd world poverty (and too much of it’s violence) with them. And show up with an education/intelligence capacity comparible to Albanian’s circa 1898.
Besides are all way past getting shouted down as ‘racists’ for saying so. I’d say that a much bigger victory than any legislation. There is no doubt about how Americans feel on this issue. The debates been over for years.
They favor a very select/limited immigration. Everyone illegal is not wanted. Go home period – because this ain’t your home its ours.
24. Pete Murphy: – I agree – and see elements of what Victor David Hanson’s been saying for over ten years. Good luck.
Because Corporate America’s & the Chamber of Commerce folks – and think tanks like Cato & American Enterprise have been pushing the very same pro-immigration ideology you are up against.
Besides insisting that today’s immigration is a continuation of 19th & 20th century trends (which I, like Hanson, disagree with), they always cite population grownth AND tax/social security contributions as a key element why we need continued immigration.
I’ve never bought it – nor have most Americans. The problems Cali, Az, Nevada & New Mexico have been coping with for the past twenty years make a mockery of their rosy senario’s.
keep up the good fight!
Either a House or Senate bill, that releases millions of foreign workers into our country, will devastate the public safety net. As it is now–California–a SANCTUARY STATE–is under constant bombardment to support uncounted numbers of foreign invaders on the health care, education and penal system. America’s largest population of illegal immigrants, California bears a huge cost to provide basic human services for this fast growing, illegal low-income segment of its population. A new study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) examines the costs of education, health care and incarceration of illegal aliens, and concludes that the costs to Californians is $10.5 billion annually. California voters rebelled and overwhelmingly passed Proposition 187, which sought to limit liability for mass illegal immigration. Since then, state and local governments have blatantly ignored the wishes of the voters and continued to pay out publicly financed benefits on illegal families. Prop 187 was brought before Judge Mariana Pfaelzer, who in November 1997 found the law to be unconstitutional. Governor Wilson appealed the ruling, which brought the case to the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. (who are extremist Liberals)
In 1999, newly elected Democratic Governor Gray Davis had the case brought before mediation, and then intentionally dropped the appeals process before the courts, effectively killing the law so it–NEVER–reached the Supreme Court. Dan Stein, President of FAIR stated, “California’s addiction to ‘cheap’ illegal alien labor is bankrupting the state and posing enormous burdens on the state’s SHRINKING MIDDLE CLASS TAX BASE,” he added “Most Californians, who have seen their taxes increase while public services deteriorate, already know the impact that mass illegal immigration is having on their communities, but even they may be shocked when they learn just how much of a drain illegal immigration has become. After these fiscal numbers were released, there seem to be an intentional reluctance to offer costs for both legal and illegal immigrant cost to the US taxpayer. The latest news now is the border state of Arizona, is in dire straights financially and also heading towards bankruptcy. Arizona is being dragged down into the financial abyss, just like it’s adjoining state of California because of illegal immigration. This will be the demise of many other states, if the politicians don’t start accommodating US citizens and those who came through legal channels.
“This is owing to a Sacramento Liberal Assembly, which has edged the state to near bankruptcy. Only by the interruption of multi-millions of American citizens, legal residents and congregations of anti-illegal immigration groups will America prevail. Here is the Capitol switchboard number to call 202-224-3121 because your vote is needed to stop any AMNESTY. The last 1986 Immigration bill was never aggressively enforced, that is why millions of illegal immigrants roam freely throughout America? The blame can be placed upon previous administrations as they have always been in collusion with the business, including Wall Street that is the real mechanism that governs our country? That is–WHY–we are taxed to subsidize–CORPORATE WELFARE–with incredulous numbers of lowly paid illegal wages and no benefits. THIS IS ALL ABOUT CORPORATE GREED and the complete indifference to the AMERICAN WORKERS SURVIVAL AND AN OVERPOPULATION FUTURE.
In a study from the National Bureau of Economic Research, based on the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation, analyzed the cost of immigrants based on their specific use of (means-tested) welfare entitlements (both direct and indirect), and revealed that the total immigrant receipt of benefits in–1996–came to $180 billion. THAT IS $ ONE HUNDRED & EIGHTY BILLION IN 1996? WHAT ARE THE EXPENDITURES NOW? Today’s costs if audited would support some foreign governments treasuries. Obama and his army of pro-illegal worker lobbyist, faith groups, unions, anti-sovereignty Caucuses, to adjoin and undermine our voting system, by organizing huge numbers who will automatically vote in favor of the Democratic party.
The millions of illegal people here would pay small fine of $500.00 dollars, learn English and pass a criminal background check. The law suggested stripping police officers of their federally-sanctioned (287 g) powers that detains individuals for immigration and visa violations, according to The Chicago Tribune. Sen. Harry Reid, Pelosi, Napolitano, Schumer and others know that our only true deterrent E-Verify will be obsolete? This is just for those 20 to 30 million illegal aliens and families who live within this nation borders now. Even more millions will be waiting outside the borders, ready to make the rush for US soil, before the president signs the AMNESTY (CIR ASAP) document. THAT WILL BE THE HIGHEST PINNACLE OF MADNESS, FORCED UPON THE AMERICAN WORKER. THEY WILL HAVE TO COMPETE WITH THOSE ALREADY HERE AND THOSE WHO SUDDENLY SWARM INTO AMERICA. All these destitute, unskilled people will need food, housing and welfare support to exist in our society.
