Trump Ups The Ante On Immigration

By Kate Linthicum, Richard Winton and Kurtis Lee, 

July, 10, 2015, LA Times

Donald Trump brought his Republican presidential campaign to Los Angeles on Friday, unrepentant over his inflammatory comments about Mexican immigrants that have drawn national ire and pushback from businesses and fellow party members.

At a news conference in Beverly Hills, Trump appeared alongside several activists who have lost family members in crimes or traffic accidents involving immigrants in the country illegally.

"People came into the country illegally and killed their children," Trump said. "The illegals come in and the illegals kill their children."

Trump made the comments the day before he was scheduled to appear at a campaign rally in Phoenix with controversial Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose anti-immigrant policies have made him a hero to those favoring stricter immigration enforcement. Saturday's event is being moved to a larger location to accommodate more people, which Trump cited as proof that his message is resonating with voters.

HHS: Obamacare Should Be Available To 'DREAMERS'

Fox News, Nov. 14, 2014

The Obamacare and immigration debates collided Tuesday as Health and Human Services chief Sylvia Burwell called for extending Obamacare benefits to DREAM-eligible illegal immigrants.

Burwell was speaking on a public Google hangout with prominent Latina bloggers to promote Saturday’s opening of the Obamacare enrollment period when she shifted to her thoughts on immigration reform.

Unfreakinbelievable: Look Who Rode With Obama In Presidential Limo, And Then Obama Bragged About It!

By Joshua Rddile, Oct. 17, 2014, Youngcons.com

I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Two illegal immigrants got to ride in the presidential limo with Obama. The fact that this even happened at all is insane to me, and then the fact that Obama bragged about it is even crazier. The man is just rubbing it in our face that he has absolutely no regard for the law.

From BizPac Review:

President Obama bragged to Hispanics Thursday night that he rode over to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 37th Annual Awards Gala event with two illegal ‘DREAMERS.’

Despite his promise to not “give up this fight until it gets done,” a few audience members were unsatisfied and interrupted the president’s politically motivated speech.

ICYMI: Larry Elder: Calling Term 'Illegal Alien' Racist Is Just Plain Racist By Larry Elder

October 18, 2014 Articles by Larry Elder , Attorney Gloria Allred 0 Comments
By Larry Elder, Jan. 25, 2012, Dailynews.com

Is the term "illegal alien" racist? What is the appropriate term to describe the status of those who broke our laws either by illegally entering or over-staying the time allowed under a student, work or other temporary permit?

Cindy Rodriguez of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists considers the term "illegal" to be a pejorative, used by "reactionary commentators and politicians" and "radio talk shows."

"If you can control the words people use," Rodriguez says, "you can frame the issue... That's how propaganda works. Repeat the words continually until it reshapes the way people think."

Attorney Gloria Allred represented gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman's Mexican-born housekeeper. Allred said the term "alien" should apply only to those "from outer space."

Words matter.

The term "illegal alien" does not only apply, of course, to persons of Mexican or Hispanic heritage. "Illegal alien" is a race- and ethnicity-neutral term. The U.S. Code defines an "alien" as "any person not a citizen or national of the United States."

The word "alien" appears numerous times in the U.S. Code and is applied to those who live here legally (tourists, resident aliens, students on visas), as well as to those who live here illegally.

The term "illegal alien" is used throughout U.S. law in statutes and court cases - all referring to non-U.S. citizens who illegally enter and/or unlawfully stay here. The code painstakingly defines the procedures to grant "immigrant status" to an alien - a privilege reserved for those who follow the law.

Guess what term doesn't appear in U.S. immigration law? "Illegal immigrant."

People like Rodriguez worry - not without reason - that terms like "illegal alien" will harden attitudes and cause voters to oppose policies like the Dream Act, allowing driver's licenses for those here illegally and bilingual education. But changing words to advance one's political agenda does not make it right or fair. Calling people "racist" for using the term "illegal alien" to distinguish between those here legally and illegally is, well, racist.

Words matter. Words like "racist" and "anti-Hispanic" are used to attack people who raise fair questions about the costs and problems associated with "illegal aliens." This shuts down debate. When amnesty opponent Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a Hispanic son of Cuban exiles, is called "anti-Hispanic" by the CEO of Univision, we have a problem.

Debate gets shuts down when "comprehensive immigration reform" proponents call others "racist" for rejecting the politically correct term "illegal immigrant" or "undocumented worker." What is wrong with the legally accurate and more precise term "illegal alien"?

Guess that makes me a racist - and Sen. Rubio a Tio Taco.

Democrats Admit Amnesty Is For Political Purposes

President Barack Obama and
Rep. Luis Gutierrez
By Investors Business Daily, Jul. 28, 2014, News.investors.com

 Politics: Give us your poor, your tired, your future Democrats waiting to be registered. That's what some in the party are saying as they urge the president to pursue immigration goals even if it hurts in the '14 midterms.

 In other words, damn the political torpedoes and full speed ahead in the fundamental demographic and political transformation of America.

 "You'll always have members whose political vulnerability they tie entirely to immigration," said Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz. "We didn't make progress when we were in the majority because we were being protective of those (members) on immigration reform. At some point do you worry more about the future or do you continue to put off the inevitable by not taking action?"

 For Democrats such as Grijalva and Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., amnesty and the political benefits stemming from it are inevitable. They are quite willing to use children to exploit the inherent compassion of the American people if it means ensuring the political future of the Democratic Party through the gratitude of millions of illegal aliens allowed to come here and stay.

 Gutierrez recently told a La Raza conference that it was only a "down payment" that President Obama gave the Latino community with his Deferred Action for Children Arrivals (DACA) program that halted the deportation of 600,000 of "our people":

 "Now it is time for the president in the United States ... (to) free the mom and dads of the DREAMers and to go further — be broad and expansive and generous."

 And just how many would he eventually like to sign up? "I think we can get 3 or 4, maybe even 5 million people," he said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." If you can't persuade voters, you can always import them.
