Napolitano Announces Obama’s Plan To Give Amnesty To Illegal Aliens

CNS News:

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday that the Obama administration will push for “immigration reform” by giving the estimated 14 million people who are in the United States illegally “fair pathway to earned legal status.”

“A tough and fair pathway to earned legal status will mandate that illegal immigrants meet a number of requirements—including registering, paying a fine, passing a criminal background check, fully paying all taxes and learning English,” Napolitano said Friday at a panel discussion at the liberal Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C.

“These are substantial requirements that will make sure this population gets right with the law,” Napolitano said. “It will help fix our broken system.”

Napolitano said the Obama administration is working to end the recession and put Americans back to work but said giving legal status to illegal aliens will “strengthen our economy.”

“Requiring illegal immigrants to register to earn legal status, as I discussed earlier, will strengthen our economy as these immigrants become full-paying taxpayers,” Napolitano said. “As labor leaders have made clear to me, immigration reform will be a boon to American workers.

“Think about it: unions will never achieve the best terms for workers when a large part of the workforce is illegal and operates in a shadow economy,” Napolitano said. “By contrast, the status quo not only hurts American workers, it also stifles potential opportunities to grow our economy.”

Napolitano said that she has seen a “major shift” in the immigration landscape, which the Obama administration hopes will make it easier for Congress to pass new immigration laws.

Included in that shift, Napolitano said, is a more secure border between the United States and Mexico, tougher law enforcement that has resulted in more arrests of criminal illegal immigrants and confiscation of contraband, and fewer people coming into the country illegally because of current economic conditions.

“For starters, the security of the Southwest border has been transformed from where it was in 2007,” Napolitano said. “The federal government has dedicated unprecedented resources to the Mexican border in terms of manpower, technology and infrastructure—and it’s made a real difference.

“Compared to last year, seizures in all categories—drugs, smuggled cash, and illegal weapons—are up dramatically. For example, just looking at bulk cash, Customs and Border Protection has seized at the border more than $34 million in cash being smuggled southbound so far this year—more than four times as much as at this time last year.

“Moreover, the immigration debate in 2007 happened during a period of historically high levels of illegal entry into the United States. Two years later, because of better enforcement and the current economic circumstances, those numbers have fallen sharply. The flow has reduced significantly – by more than half from the busiest years, proving we are in a much different environment than we were before.

“These are major differences that should change the immigration conversation,” Napolitano said.

The secretary said the Obama administration is “committed to this issue.”

“When Congress is ready to act, we will be ready to support them,” Napolitano said.

    It would result in more people on welfare, NOT more people paying taxes as Ms. Napolitano states.

    The Democratic party needs more victims as victims=votes.

  • Nanny

    They have to make up their voting base all over again because of the droves that are leaving their voting base because of the latest news that they are bringing terrorists to American soil for their slap on the wrist for planning 9/11. These anti-American, Marxist idiots will stop at nothing to try to hold all three houses. It is slipping away because of their own stupidity and the hits just keep on comin’! Keep it up libs – we love hearing the slow implosion!

  • mike3481

    Pamela Geller over at Atlas Shrugs .com is correct…

    All the voter rolls need to be completely purged and then every voting age American can re-register to vote with a valid photo I.D..

    The dead, the illegals, the fake names…etc., will be gone.

    Sure sounds good to me. :wink:

    • MinneSoCold

    • USMCTANKS

      I think your frustration is reasonable because I fell the same way.Please read this explanation as to why we need to wait. This was written by Mike Vanderboegh from the Threepers group known as the Sipsey Street Irregulars.

      Let me explain.

      First, Oath Keepers CAN’T fire first. It would be a violation of their oath. To do so would muddy the differences between them and the real revolutionaries, the real usurpers, the real tyrants.

      Second, the moral high ground is lost by the side who fires first.

      This does not mean that one side cannot set the stage so the other side discredits themselves by firing first. Indeed, this is what our enemies are hoping. Why else have they provided all the provocations?

      The entire unconstitutional federal leviathan which has been erected to supplant the Founders’ Republic in the past 75 years rests on one assumption, which the leviathan uses at every turn to achieve their purposes: if you defy us we will destroy you, either economically or with deadly force. As long as these usurpations were in the least bearable, we did not resist by force of arms, counting upon the political system and courts for redress. But these usurpations are no longer bearable, any hope of political redress hangs by the smallest of threads in 2010 (assuming we have another election) and the federal courts have demonstrated their inability to check the leviathan on the most outrageous federal misconduct. Just ask David Olofson.

      My earlier outburst at Obama’s simpering disingenuousness comes from the fact that he knows, as does everyone, that

      a. whether the Intolerable Act in its final form provides directly for jail time, or for a fine which, if you refuse to pay it will land you in jail, is a distinction without a difference, and

      b. if you refuse to pay the fine and they come to house to force you to go to prison as a result and you resist, they will kill you.

      He knows how the federal government exercises its power and he could care less. He believes he has the right to force us to his will. He will wrap his arguments in lies and good intentions, but in the end, absent the Constitution and the rule of law as codified by the Founders there is only force.

      But even with these latest federal constitutional crimes about to happen, it must be the collectivist federals who fire first and that is simply achieved by our refusal to knuckle under. If, for example, in the case of “health care” we refuse to pay the fines, they will seek to arrest us and jail us as an example to the others. Their entire system would collapse if someone successfully resists, as it is based upon the illusion of omnipotence, omniscience, and inevitablity.

      If we simply REFUSE to cooperate in our own oppression, eventually some federal thug is going to feel compelled to kill one or more of us for our temerity, likely on our own doorstep, in our homes, with our family watching (or, made casualties themselves).

      This is the gambit. If we take it, they are lost. If they take, they are lost.

      Lincoln hoped and prayed that the South would fire on Fort Sumter, just as these tyrannical bastards are hoping to get the same reaction from us. Lincoln got his wish. We should not give the present day tyrant wannabes theirs.

      If we refuse to bow to their tyranny, however, eventually it is they who lose patience. Time is against them once people start defying them. They MUST scare the rest of the sheep in order to maintain power.

      And so they will come to us with deadly force. Then we can resist with deadly force. En masse. Together. And we will finish these domestic enemies of the Founders Republic by giving them incentives to leave or die.

      AFTER they start it.

      In legitimate self-defense.

      Seems simple enough to me.

      Why there is such confusion over this principle I do not understand.

      PS…Basic OPs planning or SITREP’s will never be posted here. So you’ll never know if anything is or is not taking place unless you build (or if not physically able to at least fund) your own triad.

      great article, tanks for sharing! :beer:

    • aboutTObegin

      roger that, USMC, good article! It reflects what we are up against and their logic. We will persevere! The only way to kill America and its Constitution is to kill the people.

      Average Joe, I have said the lack of action on the military leadership is due to self/career preservation…nothing more nothing less! As for the Warrant and Enlisted, they are more than aware and are patient. All we can do is organize now and stock up because once the demmies start this, it will get bloody and I don’t think many civilians are ready for that. You see who the SS, DHS, and the FBI are siding with so don’t get your hopes up to high about any type of justice coming out on top from within the Government.

      Power to the American People!

  • ODIN2012

    I have learned in the last few months…..Democrats never ever keep their word. They say they’re going to do something is just lies.
    Let’s pick sides…line up…. and get this 2nd civil war over with.

      Affirmative ODIN2012.It’s time to stockpile the weapons and prepare for war.Train,Train,Train.Learn tactics,gain knowledge on our enemies and find out who your allies are.I train and teach friends of mine in Counter Insurgency,Counterterrorism,CQB ETC.And the enemies we train to fight are’nt Dunecoons if you catch my drift.Prepare for war.Learn about things that go bang also.This country is no longer a melting pot.It is a powder keg with a short fuse just waiting to explode.Tick,Tick,Tick BOOM!

  • JayMS

    I saw this one coming from a mile off. Of course they want amnesty. More dem votes.

    “… Fix our broken system.”

    The favorite catch-phrase of the Marxist social engineer.

  • Tom in CO

    Change! Ugh…

    • Rocky Mtn 1776

      We knew this was coming the moment she got this position in the Obama administration. She and many others all the way to the Surpreme Court can help get this passed now. Our only hope is that enough voters and American citizens raise enough Hell to stop this insanity. Ever wondered why our elected officals are voting against the will of the voters, knowing they will be voted out of office? My guess is the tons of stimulus money that will be released shortly before the election will buy their re-election. I don’t think it will work. Meanwhile keep calling & emailing the traitors who are killing America, Rocky in Wyoming

  • Kirk

    The “End Game” of all of this, we will know what it feels like to be Israeli, for as the Palestinians claim Israel, the Mexican’s will claim Texas for their own! Sounds like TREASON to me!

  • http://reneodeay.blogspot.com Rene

    uh…which illegal aliens are we talking about?
    the ones from South of the border? or the ones from outer space?

  • http://google Delta Actual

    The USA is becoming a Third World Cesspool due to illegal immigration from South of the border.Bring our troop’s home and place them on the border with Mexico with deadly force authorized with extreme prejudice.These people are the human equivalent of the AIDS virus destroying this country from the inside out.If we cant stop them at the border,then we should use a Tactical Nuke on their asses.Enough is enough.

  • Tom in CO

    If you’re not outraged you haven’t been paying attention.

  • Debbie

    Amen to that Tom in CO. I hope the guys come back and take out all the frustration of the current adm. We are loosing our civil rights. Watch Glen Beck if you ever get to. He’s having to have body guards for himself and his family. He is exposing THEM for what they really are. And they are saying he’s a clown. Finally the other news stations stood up and said that Fox News is a news station w/o a agenda. Rush tells you just like it is too.

    GOD BLESS!!!!!

  • MarkF

    The Dems are willing to ruin this country for future generations in exchange for a few more years in power. They are tuely anti-American.

    If there is any small silver lining in this, at least our illegalls are (mostly) Christians, not islamists like the ones in Eurostan.

  • Annie Oakley

    :evil: There is nothing broken about our current system. What IS broken is our failed traitorious government who refuses to enforce our current immigration laws.

    Sheriff Joe in AZ is the only person I know of who is turning over illegal aliens to ICE and gettin them off the taxpayers teat.

    I’ve really had enough of these illegals. Place them on a military hop and drop them off at their place of birth.

    • karl anglin

      I think we all knew this was coming!
      Obama will need the votes for the
      next Presidential elction!!!!
