Immigration 2013: Today's Republicans should learn from Bush Sr. and Reagan!
Bush Sr.: "They are honorable, decent, family people."
Reagan: "The time has come to have a better relationship than ever.
Rather than a fence, let's work together to recognize our mutual problems. They can come here and we have open borders both ways."
From the 1980 Presidential Debate:

Recall Arpaio Now! Racial Profiler Arpayaso is Afraid of the Recall!
The coalition needs 300,000 signatures to trigger Arpayaso's recall election. This group has set up a new website that demands Arpaio's recall and calls for a NEW SHERIFF "that respects Families, respects Immigrants and respects Latinos.
Racial Profiler Arpayaso heard about the recall efforts and sent a frantic letter to his supporters saying "Why do they (Latinos) hate me so much? Please send me $465 each so I can fight these clowns and thugs."
I ask all of my readers to go to the "Respect Arizona" website. Donate. If a registered Maricopa County voter, please sign the petition.

National Review's RACIST ATTACK against Latinos and My Response to Them!
The Editors of the National Review wrote an Op-Ed about the proposed Immigration bills being proposed. Their editorial was AWFUL. Here's the LINK, but don't get too angry.
In a nutshell, they said about Latinos, "While many are in business for themselves, they express hostile attitudes toward free enterprise in polls. They are disproportionately low-income and disproportionately likely to receive some form of government support. More than half of Hispanic births are out of wedlock. Take away the Spanish surname and Latino voters look a great deal like many other Democratic constituencies. Low-income households headed by single mothers and dependent upon some form of welfare are not looking for an excuse to join forces with Paul Ryan and Pat Toomey. Given the growing size of the Hispanic vote, it would help Republicans significantly to lose it by smaller margins than they have recently. But the idea that an amnesty is going to put Latinos squarely in the GOP tent is a fantasy."
Please don't get too angry.
Here is my response to the National Review. I wonder if they have the GUTS to print it:
Dear Editors,
Your analysis in this op-ed regarding why Latinos did not vote Republican is ludicrous.
I am a Mexican American. My family has lived here over 200 years. I am a business woman. I have worked over 40 years of my life. So much for your "takers" theory.
Your editorial proves you have no clue as to why Americans of Hispanic Descent, such as me, are in support of Immigration Reform and why I voted for President Obama.
We Latino Citizens are over 55 million strong, yet people like you demagogue us.
I support CIR because I am tired of people like you, people like Sheriff Arpaio and Gov. Brewer and FAIR, NumbersUSA, Kris Kobach, John Tanton and others treat us like second class citizens.
Your vision of "Rule of Law" is to allow rogue law enforcement like Arpaio, to treat us like 2nd class citizens. You cheer him as he raids sleepy towns like Guadalupe AZ, allowing his ski masked volunteer posse to conduct "Suppression Sweeps" to Latino children in a Confirmation Mass.
Jan Brewer said, "I don't know what an Illeegal looks like." Sharon Angle told a class of Latino students, "You all look Asian to me."
When we say we oppose racial profiling bills like sb1070, your supporters say "If you were truly American, you would accept all of this racial profiling because YOU FIT THE PROFILE." Even one of your icons, Bill Bennett said this. (plus Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.)
When an undocumented Latino is involved in a DUI, you indict us all. We are ALL Guilty.
We are continually demonized by your cohorts. FAIR, Numbers USA, the Heritage Foundation, CIS, National Review, Alipac and so many other right wing groups and websites.
Yet, my community has been quiet. We are hard working. We are Christian. We are humble. When you attack us, we remain humble. We accepted your chastisement. In the past, your groups weren't so obvious about your extremism and targeting against Latinos.
However, last election, your GOP Candidates decided to take a stand. It was obvious. You decided this was a crossroads election. You knew that our country's demographics were changing. We are rapidly evolving to a multi cultural society (Roy Beck's Gumball theory).
We are at a crossroads. Will America allow this change and accept that ALL are created equal? Or will we, from your perspective, RIGHT the Course and put minorities in their place. Will we limit Immigration to solely those with advanced degrees in Science, Math and Technology.
Your candidates, Romney, Santorum, Perry, all proudly spoke of their vision, along with their beliefs on wedge issues. They laid their agenda out there for everyone to see. Mass Deportation, Rule of Racial Profiling Law, etc. etc., everything you laid out here in your Op-Ed.
And guess what? The vast majority of Americans, and especially the Vast Majority of all minority Americans of EVERY ethnicity. SAID NO. In fact they said HELL NO! We don't support your right wing extremist, NON multi cultural Agenda!
We said, "Obama isn't perfect, but we sure as HELL do NOT support Racial Profiling, MASS Deportation, your ANTI Women, ANTI Gay agenda."
Now about your editorial here. You Doubled Down.
Do you really think we are all "illegals"? All 55M voter citizens? And why do you call people "illegals" anyway?? Why do YOU say we are "disproportionately
low-income and disproportionately likely to receive some form of government
support." I would ponder to say that I have a much higher income than many of your editorial bloviaters. As Robert DeNiro said, "Are you talkin' to me?"
I'm going to lay it on the line, right here for you, so that you and your young Editorial writers understand.
1. STOP your Damn Racial Profiling laws like sb1070. You yahoos call it "Border Enforcement." We call it what it is, RACIAL PROFILING. Just Stop It! This is the PRIMARY OBJECTIVE. WE ARE ALL EQUAL DAMN IT! (And put that racial profiler Arpaio and his hooded volunteer posse in Jail!)
2. ACCEPT the fact that we in the USA are becoming a Beautiful, Multi Cultural Society!
3. Understand that these Immigration Laws are restrictionist and based on the very first Immigration Law in America - the Chinese Exclusion Act and the Immigration Act of 1924. They are New to the 20th century and have NOT been in place since Columbus.
4. STOP using your "Rule of Law" rhetoric to impose restrictionist, racial profiling laws.
5. And one more thing. One of your most irritating lines in your op-ed was: "While many are in business for themselves, they express hostile attitudes toward free enterprise in polls," Let me ask, HOW OLD ARE YOUR EDITORS? or in other words "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" You are DEMONIZING an entire demographic. You make me shake just thinking about it!
We Latinos are like every other American in America. We work hard. We love our Families. We want to achieve the American Dream. AND, we will VOTE for whomever supports our rights as Americans!!
You Got It Now?

The President Provides a Few Details about his Impending Proposal for CIR
President Obama briefly spoke about Immigration Reform before a group of students in Las Vegas today.
The President didn't go into detail. He barely touched on the subject.
While I was hoping for more detail, here are the topics he touched upon.
The President's major point: If the bipartisan committee doesn't move forward quickly with their plan, he will quickly advance his own proposal, particular Directly to the American Public:
Over the days ahead, I will provide a gentle comparison between the President's and the Group of 8's plan. All of the Latino Community is hoping they will work together and pass a workable CIR solution.
However my BIG ARTICLE later this week will be to provide you with the Far Right Extremists' strategy to attack BOTH Plans! These extremists have already laid out their devious course. ALSO, the KEY ARCHITECTS for their heinous plans have already revealed themselves. Their cast of characters is long and deep. You already know who they are. Their strategy, however, is a bit unique and many in the media are unaware. It will be VERY FUN EXPOSING these FAR RIGHT Zealots,.

IMMIGRATION 2013: THE BIPARTISAN GROUP OF 8'S CIR RECOMMENDATION
The Bipartisan Group of 8 (SENATORS SCHUMER, MCCAIN, DURBIN, GRAHAM, MENENDEZ, RUBIO, BENNET & FLAKE), have rolled out their Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill recommendation. This bill has some interesting aspects and some of their recommendations are a good start. Others are extremely questionable.
I'm providing you a good summary. I'm NOT going to critique them tonight. However, I am highlighting in RED the aspects of the bill that I have questions about.
The President is going to roll out his recommendation tomorrow.
Later this week, I'll be providing a side by side comparison of both recommendations.
PLEASE TAKE TIME TO REVIEW THESE RECOMMENDATIONS SO WE CAN ALL BE PREPARED TO PROVIDE THE PRESIDENT OUR FEEDBACK.
I. CREATE A PATH TO
CITIZENSHIP FOR UNAUTHORIZED IMMIGRANTS ALREADY HERE THAT IS CONTINGENT UPON
SECURING THE BORDER & COMBATTING VISA OVERSTAYS
|
SOUTHERN BORDER ENFORCEMENT FIRST: demonstrate commitment to securing borders
and combatting Visa overstays by requiring enforced any immigrant on
probationary status can earn a green card.
|
. More Border Patrol on Mexico Border (Not Canadian)
. Provide Surveillance Technology
including more Drones.
|
NO
Racial Profiling
|
. Include
verbiage for No Racial Profiling. Hear feedback from border communities
re: Racial Profiling abuses.
|
Visa Overstays
|
. Electronically track all guest/temporary
Visas to make sure they don’t overstay. (how will it work)
|
Pathway to Legalization for 11M
|
. While Security measures are put in
place, 11M will register with the
government, including passing background check, pay fine and back taxes, earn
probationary legal status and stay/work in the US. Those with serious
criminal record or who pose threat to national security are ineligible and
subject to deportation. May be immediately deported.
|
NO Federal Public Benefits, including
Healthcare, Food Stamps or any Federal Public Benefits
|
. Non-Citizens and ALL those in process
will NOT have access to ANY Federal Public
Benefits.
|
Southern Border Commission
|
. Create a commission comprised of Border Governors, Attorney Generals, and
Community Leaders living along the Southwest border to monitor the progress
of securing the Southern Border to make recommendations regarding when the
security measures outlined in the legislation are completed. They will
determine IF Measures are completed, and THEN and
Only THEN will Probationary Immigrants be allowed to apply for citizenship.
|
ALL OF THE ABOVE MUST OCCUR BEFORE PATH TO
|
CITIZENSHIP
|
Pathway to Citizenship for the 11M
here:
|
. go to back of line; pass additional
background checks
. will receive a green card once ALL who have been waiting in line at the time
legislation is enacted has received green card.
. pay taxes; learn English & civics;
demonstrate history of work in US; eventually earn a green card
|
Different Punishments for Different Immigrants
(I’m thinking about this category so it’s
not in Red)
|
Dream Act: Different Requirements
Agricultural Workers: Different Requirements
Special Treatment for PhD & Masters’
Degree
|
II. Improving our Legal
Immigration System and Attracting the World’s Best and Brightest
|
Award Green Cards to applying
Immigrants who have received PhD or Masters’ degree in science, technology,
engineering or math from an American University.
|
(I’m thinking about this category so it’s
not in Red)
|
III. Strong Employment
Verification
|
Develop tough, fair, effective and
mandatory employment verification system. (Not eVerify)
|
. Hold employers accountable
(Need more info on this one; what will
replace?)
|
IV. Admitting New Workers and
Protecting Workers’ Rights
|
. Guest Worker Program
|
Provide employers ability to hire low
skilled workers in a timely manner where Americans are unavailable or
unwilling to fill those jobs. (Need more info on implementation)

Immigration 2013: President Obama, McCain and Group of Six Will Propose ONE BILL which includes Path to Citizenship
President Obama is travelling to Las Vegas on Tuesday and is set to begin his push for Comprehensive Immigration Reform. The White House said, "The President will be traveling to Nevada on Tuesday to redouble the Administration's efforts to work with Congress to fix the broken immigration system this year." President Obama's public campaign is to build support for ONE comprehensive immigration package that will include
a pathway to citizenship for the country’s 11 million undocumented immigrants.
Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of six senators also plans to release a detailed framework laying out their principals for ONE bill as soon as the end of this week. Senators include: Democrats Charles Schumer of New York, Dick Durbin of Illinois and Robert Menendez of New Jersey; and Republicans John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Marco Rubio of Florida,
On ABC's "This Week" John McCain said, "We can't go on forever with 11 million people living in this country in the shadows in an illegal status. We cannot forever have children who were born here -- who were brought here by their parents when they were small children to live in the shadows, as well." McCain has changed his view since his campaign days where he was opposed to "Amnesty" because he wanted the support of the far right wing. When asked why he had this change of view, McCain responded, "Look at the last election. We are losing dramatically the Hispanic vote, which we think should be ours, for a variety of reasons, and we've got to understand that."
On Fox News Sunday, Sen. Menendez said that "family unification" would be a high priority in any plan, which he said would include Dream Act legislation to provide undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children with a path to citizenship.
With Durbin, Menendez and McCain appearing on Sunday Talk Shows today, all supporting ONE Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill which includes a Pathway to Citizenship and Passage of the DREAM ACT - with citizenship, it will be interesting to see how Marco Rubio explains this approach to his friends in the extreme right wing/Tea Party and Talk Radio. Last week, he told them his recommendations were for a Piece Meal approach and pathway to legalization without citizenship. These changes will certainly anger them. Stay tuned for their attacks against our President AND the Gang of Six, especially Rubio if he supports this plan.
