Majority Democrat Party members in the U.S. Senate continue to press the issue of “amnesty” for “Illegal Immigrants”. What Senate Democrats call the “Dream Act” is more akin to an American criminal nightmare. Illegal immigrants are criminals, as they ascertain a fraudulent SS Card, fraudulent ID, fraudulent Driver Operator’s License, etc. With the fraudulent credentials, the “illegal immigrant” proceeds to visit employers for a job.
Our U.S. economy is in recession. Many are struggling to maintain their homes and their families. Granting “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants” creates more economic burdens on all, and specifically, the African-American communities. “Amnesty” for “illegal immigrants” will generate elevated unemployment in our minority communities. Americans support “legal immigration”. Americans oppose “illegal immigration”.
“Illegal immigrants” abuse our hospitals and other medical facilities, our Social Services, our public schools, etc., all at the expense of Americans taxpayers. These added costs prevent legal citizens from receiving adequate needs and services. The real issue in opposing “Illegal immigrants” is associated with the increasing criminal activity that is also entering America. Democrats should explain how their proposed “Dream Act” will disassociate criminal element “illegal immigrants” from criminal Islamic Muslin terrorists.
On December 14, 2010, a U.S. Border Patrol Officer was shot and murdered near the U.S. – Mexican border. Where is President Obama or Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano? Neither shows up on the crime scene? President Obama sends our US Military to fight in the Middle East and visits the assigned troops in the Middle East. Obama fails to send adequate U.S. Military troops to our U.S. – Mexican border or even visit the murder scene when Mexican cartels may be the murderers on American soil. Mexican cartels are gaining control of Americans’ properties. Law enforcement officers are dying without ample support from the Obama administration.
Under the present legislation, rather than requiring “illegal immigrants” to go through the current system to obtain citizenship, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi teams are attempting to legislate “amnesty citizenship” to “illegal immigrant” criminals.
According to current political polls, 65% of Americans are saying, “Seal the border”. President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and other supporting Capitol Hill Democrats are blocking these calls instead of blocking the borders.
On December 18, 2010, Vote Number 278 for “S. Amendment 3 to H.R. 5281” of the Democrats’, “The Dream Act”, the US Senate failed a Cloture vote ‘55 for’ and ‘41 against’ with ‘4 not voting’. Cloture would require a vote of 60 or more “for Cloture” on “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants”. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=2&vote=00278.
Fifty Democrat Party Senators voted “for Cloture”; and in support of “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants”. It must be noted that Fifteen Democrats who voted in support of “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants” and are up for re-elections in 2012 are: Bingaman-NM, Brown-OH, Cantwell-WA, Cardin-MD, Carper-DE, Casey-PA, Conrad-ND, Feinstein-CA, Gillibrand-NY, Klobuchar-MN, Kohl-WI, McCaskill-MO, Menendez-NJ Stabenow-MI, Webb-VA, Whitehouse-RI.
Thirty-six Republican Party Senators voted to “oppose Cloture”, and against “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants”, while 3 Republican Party Senators voted “for Cloture” and in support of “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants” (Bennett-UT, Lugar-IN, and Murkowski-AK). It must be noted that Senator Lugar is up for re-election in 2012.
Both Independent Party Senators Lieberman-CT and Sanders-VT voted “for Cloture”; and in support of “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants”.
When will President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and other supporting Democrat members on Capitol Hill discontinue their plan to cram “amnesty” for “illegal immigration” down (y)our throats”? Americans continue to say “NO”. What Senate Democrats call the “Dream Act” is more akin to an American criminal nightmare.

When one considers that the United Methodist Church, General Board of Church and Society; the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and the evangelical movement along with several other churches have come forward to declare that it is the christian's moral imperative to see the Act passed, one has to question who is right - you or these leaders. Two Christians cannot look at the same moral issue and come away with two diametrically opposed conclusions. Abraham Lincoln said "In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong. God cannot be for, and against the same thing at the same time. I think you should prayerfully reconsider your stance on this particular issue.
