Forget about jobs and tax cuts, high priorities for American citizens. Lame-duck lawmakers, at the presidents urging , will concentrate on a “path to citizenship” for the children of illegal aliens.
Expiration of the Bush tax cuts will impose a job-killing, $3 trillion tax increase on a beleaguered economy reeling from near-double-digit unemployment. The necessity of finding a solution is paramount.So whats atop President Obamas agenda? Meeting with leaders of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to discuss passing the Dream development, relief and education for alien minors Act, a bill that has nothing to do with jobs and taxes, but a great deal to do with rewarding Obamas political base and ensuring an unending stream of Democratic voters.
This is an amnesty bill. Under it, illegal aliens who enter this country before the age of 16 and have successfully evaded the law for five years are given conditional green-card status that can later be converted to regular green cards. They are required to complete two years of college or military service.
Then green cards can be acquired for the parents who brought their children here illegally. And once theyve been granted citizenship, they can bring all their relatives to the U.S. Those whove waited patiently, and legally, for their green cards will still have to wait while the open-border parade passes them by.
