Comprehensive (Unofficial) Amnesty - Rick Oltman

April 24, 2009

By Rick Oltman

All of these separate actions and statements are part of the Obama Administration's strategy to achieve a comprehensive, yet unofficial, amnesty of illegal aliens.

Expect some window dressing enforcement, of course, and the occasional prosecution of an employer for some immigration offense. It will be similar to what Mexico would do when they occasionally arrested some minor drug trafficker just to demonstrate that they were still "serious" about the war on drugs...to keep that American aid flowing in. It's a public relations game.

Comprehensive (Unofficial) Amnesty is as far as the Obama Administration can go, but it's far enough. A genuine government-sanctioned-voted-on-by-the-congress-and-signed-by-the-president-Official Amnesty is way too big a political risk. The American people don't want amnesty for illegal aliens and would say so at the polls in 2010 and maybe 2012. But, the gradualism of this creeping amnesty is not as easy to see and therefore harder to grasp and respond to by Americans busy coping with the economic downturn.

Besides, Comprehensive (Unofficial) Amnesty gives everybody what they want anyway. Business gets a continuous flow of cheap labor and new customers encouraged by the Obama administration's words and deeds. The administration and its friends are then rewarded by business and unions with help in next year's mid-term elections.
