Whenever American citizens demand that we actually enforce our borders, Democrats invariably respond with the canard that we need "comprehensive immigration reform" - which is simply their standard approach of using verbal sleight of hand to obfuscate an issue.
After all, we don't need "reform" - we simply need the Federal government to do their job, first, by enforcing our borders to keep illegals from entering the country, and second, establishing policies and laws that prevent illegals from receiving any of the benefits intended for genuine American citizens (free medical care, free education, welfare, food stamps, Section 8 housing, etc.).
Finally, we need to roll back the absurd and false reading of the 14th Amendment that has created the "anchor baby" phenomenon. The idea that all that is necessary to qualify as an American citizen is that your mother was able to set foot on American soil 10 minutes before your birth defies reason.
But alas, such measures would run counter to the Democrats' real motivation - to establish a huge new block of reliably Democrat voters by creating yet another group of people dependent on government. Because "immigration reform" (like everything today's Democrats do) is about only one thing: votes.
Any way they can get them.
Why do you think Democrats are always fighting tooth and nail to prevent states from demanding a legitimate form of identification in order to vote? Because, as one politico said, "if we ever had completely honest elections, Democrats would be relegated to permanent minority status in just about every elected body in the nation."
The real plan behind Democrats' "comprehensive immigration reform" is as simple as 1-2-3. They want to:
1 - Take the estimated 40 million people who have come across the border illegally and declare them to be citizens.
2 - Get as many of them as possible onto the welfare rolls, and into every conceivable social program that exists.
3 - Sign them up as registered Democrats.
That's it.
So the next time you hear the term "comprehensive immigration reform"
from the mouth of some liberal Democrat, ignore the soppy rhetoric about "caring for the downtrodden" and just remind yourself of what
it will really mean: lifetime job security for Democrat legislators.
Then vote accordingly.
While your vote can still make a difference...
