Joe Still Predicts No Obama Amnesty-and A Dem. Ex-Rep. Agrees! - Joe Guzzardi
May 16, 2009
By Joe Guzzardi
Here's why Obama's three statements encourage me:
* The borders will never be well enough secured for the American people to feel confident that an amnesty will not lead to another flood of illegal immigrants as it did after the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act amesty.
* The federal government will never be "competent" on immigration and will never "build confidence among the American people…" In nearly a quarter of a century of writing about the imiigration crisis, I cannot point to one piece of immigration legislation that I could define as competently implemented.
* By acknowledging that he doesn't "have control of the legislative calendar," Obama confirms what I have written countless times: it doesn't matter what specific immigration policy he may or may not want. Creating new legislation falls to Congress.
