’08 Dems push immigration

DemsIn posts published here earlier a report indicated HillaryCare II was assembled by the same team from Hillary Care I. The report also indicated no significant overhaul of Hillary Care I, which failed, and the health care proposals from other Democratic candidates were based on this same model. A post here yesterday featured an appraisal from the Opnion Journal on Hillary Care I and II emphasizing the program will require a great deal of tax increases the details of which the Clinton campaign is not disclosing. Which is to say that the Dems health care proposals are essentially the same and will cost everyone dearly for limited health care provisions.

That brings us to the current story. While many members of the GOP are not doing this country any favors with their positions on amnesty, visa quotas or other immigration and border control issues, the Democratic party candidates are of the same thinking on immigration as they are on health care. Clinton, Obama and Edwards are all in favor of amnesty. This should not have been difficult to notice with pandering to the open borders crowd by Democratic party candidates.

Add the two issues above with the Democratic party’s obvious position on national defense and security including their position on surrendering in Iraq and you have three exceptionally good reasons to vote for someone other than a Democrat. Some of their statements on immigration are in a report from the Hill.com

The campaigns of Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Barack Obama (Ill.) say their candidates will seek comprehensive reform, a phrase that sometimes implies a guest worker program, as soon as they get to the White House.

Former Sen. John Edwards (N.C.), speaking at the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) political action conference Monday, said: “We’re going to ensure that every single person living in the United States of America has a completely achievable path to American citizenship so that they don’t live in the shadows.”

illegal immigration..’that sometimes implies a guest worker program’ is putting it mildly. And what John Edwards does not appear to understand is a path to citizenship already exists. If you follow the rule of law before, during and after entering this country the path to citizenship will be right there in front of you. Which might cause someone to ask why the open borders crowd feels compelled to let everyone just walk right in without any controls. If a prospective immigrant is not satisfied with the procedures involved in obtaining citizenship they are welcome to take their business elsewhere. If one does not possess the discipline to follow through with immigration legally, what does that say about their character and the risk to this country by letting them just walk in on their terms?

There you have it people. Again, the point is these are three very good reasons to reject the Democratic party.
