Reconquista DJ Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo Not Only Accused Of Sexual Harassment, But Of Falsifying Letters In Support Of Amnesty

A timely post from www.Vdare.com about the radio DJ “Piolin.” This follows this post about the University of Washington mandating an anti-white, anti-male, anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-heterosexual class. In the meantime, you can read an interesting take on society's problems HERE and another interesting book HERE.

More On Reconquista DJ Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo Falsifying Letters In 2007—This Seems To Have Been Unlucky For Everyone Involved

El Piolin
More details of this accusation against Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo: 
That letter [a lawyer's letter obtained by the Times] also contains Cortez's claims about falsifying letters. According to Cortez, after the immigration reform drive fell well short of garnering the 1 million letters that Sotelo had pledged to deliver, Sotelo ordered his staffers to "clandestinely photocopy letters so that it would appear as if he had gathered 1 million signatures." Clayton writes that Cortez "initially refused but was told in no uncertain terms that the team needed to comply."
In June 2007, Sotelo traveled to Washington, D.C., to present the letters to a congressional delegation composed of Sens. Edward Kennedy, Mel Martinez, Robert Menendez and Arlen Specter, as well as members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
'Piolin' Sotelo, Univision parting follows harassment allegations, By Reed Johnson and Meg James, July 29, 2013
Here's a contemporary report of that trip: Popular disc jockey goes to Washington with 1 million letters, AP, June 11, 2007.
Those "million signatures" seem to have been bad luck.
Since then, Kennedy has died, Mel Martinez has resigned his Senate seat to cash in as a lobbyist, Arlen Specter switched parties, was defeated in a primary, and died, and Robert Menendez narrowly escaped prosecution over his sexual conduct. And now El Piolin has lost his job!

Reconquista DJ Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo Not Only Accused Of Sexual Harassment, But Of Falsifying Letters In Support Of Amnesty

By James Fulford on July 30, 2013 at 4:57pm
From the KTLA website:
LOS ANGELES — Spanish-language radio personality Eddie “Piolin” Sotelo’s mysterious departure from the airwaves last week came after a performer on his nationally syndicated program accused him of sexual harassment, according to documents obtained by The Times.
Alberto “Beto” Cortez, a writer, producer and performer on the popular “Piolin por la Manana” radio program, alleged that his boss Sotelo was “physically, sexually and emotionally harassing” him for a three-year period ending last January. The claim was made in an April 16 letter from Cortez attorney Robert R. Clayton to executives Roberto Llamas and Jose Valle of Univision Communications Inc., which broadcast and syndicated the show.
In addition to the claim of sexual harassment, Cortez alleged that Sotelo ordered members of his radio production team to falsify letters in support of a high-profile campaign for congressional immigration reform, an issue that Sotelo championed on his program.[Emphasis added]
El Piolin (the nickname means "Tweety Bird" in Mexican Spanish) has supporting amnesty for years, and we've got a lot of material on him. Last year, Brenda Walker wrote
When thousands of illegal aliens show up for May Day marches demanding amnesty, part of the organizing comes from Spanish radio and TV which urge unlawful foreigners to complain en masse. In Los Angeles, local Mexican radio guy Piolin is credited with turning out huge crowds of amnesty pests.
Piolin is reported to have "entered the US illegally on a forged green card," in 1986 and presumably was amnestied as a result of IRCA.

House Judiciary Committee to Markup Immigration Bills Next Week

Washington, D.C. – Next week (Today, June 18)  the House Judiciary Committee will begin marking up several immigration bills.  Since the start of the 113th Congress, the House Judiciary Committee has taken a step-by-step approach to reforming our nation’s immigration laws, embarking on a careful, methodical examination of various components of our immigration system.  To date, the Committee has held numerous educational briefings for Members of Congress on our immigration laws, convened nearly a dozen hearings on immigration, and has introduced several bills that provide solutions to different aspects of our immigration laws that need to be fixed. 

On Tuesday, the Committee will markup the SAFE Act (H.R. 2278), a bill to improve the interior enforcement of our immigration laws and strengthen national security.  The House Judiciary Committee held a full committee hearing on this bill yesterday.  Following the SAFE Act, the Committee will begin to markup the AG Act (H.R. 1773), a bill to provide American farmers with a workable temporary agricultural guestworker program that will help provide access to a reliable workforce.   The Immigration Subcommittee held a hearing on this bill on May 16, 2013. 

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Immigration and Border Security Subcommittee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) released the statements below on next week’s markups.

Chairman Goodlatte:  “For far too long, the standard operating procedure in Washington has been to rush large pieces of legislation through Congress with little opportunity for elected officials and the American people to scrutinize and understand them.  Rather than rush a bill just to ‘find out what’s in it,’ the House Judiciary Committee has instead followed the traditional legislative process of regular order so that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past. Immigration reform is too important and complex to not examine each piece in detail. 

“Next week’s (Tuesday June 18)  markup is part of this process and will afford members of the House Judiciary Committee the opportunity to thoroughly vet two critical pieces of legislation.  The SAFE Act avoids the mistakes of the 1986 immigration law by providing a robust interior enforcement strategy, including granting states the ability to enforce our immigration laws, that will help ensure we put an end to illegal immigration.  And the AG Act provides American farmers with a workable temporary agricultural guestworker system so that they have better access to a reliable workforce.  By removing red tape and other hindrances, this will help farmers to continue growing our food and our economy.

“As the Committee moves forward, we will continue meeting with members of both sides of the aisle and across the Capitol, as well as other stakeholders and interested parties, to reach consensus on the many issues plaguing our broken immigration system.  It’s imperative that we get immigration reform right so that we provide Americans and those wishing to immigrate to our great country a workable immigration system for the years to come.”

Subcommittee Chairman Gowdy:  “Throughout the 113th Congress the Judiciary Committee has held multiple hearings on the various aspects of reforming our broken immigration system. Next week’s mark-ups of the SAFE Act and the AG Act are the next steps in ensuring we do not repeat the mistakes made in 1986 of legalization without accountability and enforcement.


“A primary function of government is public safety, but under this Administration, we have seen our immigration laws go unenforced, gaps in our national security persist, and criminal aliens released on to our streets. The SAFE Act is a critical step in our efforts to strengthen and enhance interior enforcement and ensures we will not be having this conversation again in 10, 20, or 30 years. The AG Act grants American farmers access to a functional, effective temporary agricultural guestworker program.


“I look forward to continuing this discussion with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, as well all interested parties. As we continue this discussion, it is critical we examine every aspect of immigration reform so we can create a system that works for many years to come.”

“Comprehensive Immigration Reform” Is Anarcho-Tyranny In Action

A very interesting post from www.Vdare.com about Immigration Tyranny. This follows this post about the fact that there are more U.S. job seekers than there are job openings. Therefore it's not a good time to bring in even more job seekers by immigration.  This follows this post about the release of illegal immigrant felons from prison by ICE. This follows this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants! For more about what is happening in the nation now click here and you can read the two very interesting books that are shown HERE.


“Comprehensive Immigration Reform” Is Anarcho-Tyranny In Action

By James Kirkpatrick     
The government has met the enemy and it is us—the historic American nation.
Washington's long war on its own people has broken into the open, with reports that the National Security Agency, among others, has been spying on the phone calls and emails of American citizens. But at the same time, the Amnesty Establishment and its lackeys in the GOP claim that it is simply impossible to enforce immigration laws, deport illegals, or even build a border fence.
The simple truth: the feds can accomplish a lot if they want to—but reading your emails is higher on their priority list than fulfilling the fundamental responsibility of government.
What gives the game away: the reaction of the Treason Lobby’s Republican collaborators:
  • Senator Lindsey Graham (Scalawag-SC), who grows more prissy and hysterical as he ages, cried last month that “You can't build a fence high enough to stop people” because people in Mexico are fleeing a “hellhole.” (It was left for Senator Jeff Sessions to point out that Mexico is not actually a hellhole, being fairly rich by global standards).
But while Graham thinks it is simply impossible to build a border fence, he thinks it is eminently feasible to censor every letter in the country. [Lindsey Graham: ‘If I thought censoring the mail was necessary, I would suggest it’, By Chris Moody, Yahoo! News, June 11, 2013]  Graham is also “glad” the national security agency intercepts phone records and emails. [GOP Sen. Graham says he’s ‘glad’ NSA is collecting phone records, By Seth McLaughlin, Washington Times, June 6, 2013]He made a possible Freudian slip when he mused that “bloggers” might not be entitled to First Amendment protections. Finally, he wants to chase whistleblower Edward Snowden to “the ends of the earth.”
Like Graham, Rubio claims that the government simply “can't deport millions.” But he has seemingly infinite faith in the right of the federal government to monitor American communications without a warrant. He claims it is “simply a reality” because “The threat that we face—largely radical, political Islamists—is probably a threat that is going to exist for the rest of our lifetimes.”
Of course, the reason this threat exists—aside from our adventurist foreign policy, which Rubio supports—is because of the U.S. government's fanaticism in allowing in ever more Muslim immigrants. Even now, as it becomes clear that the American government is backing a losing effort side in Syria, the State Department is scheming to inflict tens of thousands of Syrian aliens on helpless American towns and cities. But the Obama Administration—with the help of collaborators like Rubio—is simultaneously halting background checks on immigrants so as to facilitate the Third World invasion.
So much for preventing terrorism.
  • Senator John McCain (MSM—Arizona). When running against immigration patriot primary opponent J. D. Hayworth, McCain conceded that we should “build the dang fence” if it would make the peasants happy. Now, safely ensconced in office, he's shamelessly returned to his efforts to destroy his party and his people in Arizona as a leader of the Gang of 8.
McCain now of course believes that a fence is unnecessary and wouldn't work—apparently only his Israeli friends are allowed to protect their country. He also engages in some concern trolling about cost.
But McCain is totally confident about the government's claim to monitor the communications of Americans and seems to have no concern about the costs of a permanent and extensive national security establishment.
Arguing against Senator Rand Paul, McCain argues that America is a battlefield. Thanks to his de facto open borders policy, he's right.
  • Speaker John Boehner, fresh from his daughter's wedding to a dreadlocked Jamaican pothead, announced that he would do his best to make sure the Republican House would not oppose an immigration bill and would debate it. He chirped happily that they could have a bill by the “end of the year.”
Boehner was praised by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who of course is deeply concerned about the Republican Party's relationship to Latino voters.
My assessment: While Boehner may occasionally make noise about border security, his real concern is giving himself political cover so he can work against the interests of his own supporters. As with many Republicans, Boehner is executing a delicate balancing act, trying to deliver cheap labor for his masters while doing his best to make an Amnesty betrayal look like something other than what it is.
(In the latest twist, “sources familiar with his plans” say John Boehner won't back immigration bill without majority GOP support—by David M. Drucker, Washington Examiner, June 16 2013. We’ll see).
But Boehner showed no such tactical delicacy when it came to Edward Snowden. He called Snowden a “traitor”—which presumably means that Snowden should be killed.
So reporting on the government's activities against citizens is treason, while working to dispossess those citizens is apparently just a higher form of patriotism.
As for Senator Paul himself, he has issued blistering criticism of the National Security Agency, and claims that the government is looking at a “billion phone calls a day.”
But Senator Paul's fears about the awesome power of “The State” apparently do not extend to their ability to build a wall. In a typically confused gesture, Senator Paul will offer an amendment that will give the government five years to build a border fence—the same one that has already been mandated.
Also, he will require Congress to vote on whether the border is secure—according to the opinions of Congress, rather than any objective standard. As Chuck Schumer is promising that the current bill will make illegal immigration “a thing of the past,” it's not much of a stretch to judge that the junior Senator from Kentucky has not thought this through.
Paul also wants to ban any form of a national ID—the same objection that killed the 1986 Amnesty's enforcement provisions.
Not surprisingly, last week Paul voted with the majority to move Amnesty forward.
Liberals, neoconservatives and libertarians all accept that the federal government has the power to tap the phone calls, read the emails, and even the censor the letters of millions of Americans. But all these groups somehow believe that this same all powerful government is incapable of building a wall in a timely fashion, enforcing current laws, or deporting illegals (even when the illegals in question are testifying before the Senate). All also ignore the obvious truth—immigration laws aren't ignored because the government can't enforce them, they are ignored because the government won't enforce them.
Furthermore, mass immigration of hostile Third Worlders practically guarantees a never-ending terrorist threat—which of course provides further justification for the permanent national security state libertarians claim to oppose.
The Amnesty Establishment and its apologists are a comically obvious example of what the late Sam Francis called “anarcho-tyranny”: the government cracks down on law-abiding citizens while blithely ignoring (and even encouraging) criminality, parasitism, and outright treason.
Any talk of defending against terrorism or extreme actions in the name of national security simply cannot be taken seriously when elected officials refuse to enforce laws that might actually solve the problem.
The American government would rather impose tyranny on citizens than inconvenience the invaders—and the silence of Conservativism Inc., liberals, and libertarians tells us all we need to know about who sets the parameters of debate in Occupied America.
While Americans are distracted by passing issues and Conservatism Inc. profiteers off phony scandals, the nation-breaking Amnesty/ Immigration Surge is proceeding.
This real message of last week: mass immigration, amnesty, and the undoing of the American nation is statism in action.
Both stopping terrorism and preserving what's left of limited government require border security. If Senators and Congressmen don't make the connection, they don't deserve to be taken seriously.

The Bell Tolls for the “New Majority”

A very interesting post from www.Vdare.com about demographics in the U.S. This follows this post about Republicans and their waffling immigration position.  This follows this post about the release of illegal immigrant felons from prison by ICE. This follows this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants! For more about what is happening in the nation now click here and you can read the two very interesting books that are shown HERE.


The Bell Tolls for the “New Majority”

Next year should be a banner year for the GOP, and may yet be.
Obamacare, a "train wreck" about to happen, says Democratic Sen. Max Baucus, goes into full effect Jan. 1, with the popular IRS as enforcer.
The Obama media feel betrayed by the secret intrusions on First Amendment rights. Libertarians see the National Security Agency's data mining as a massive violation of Fourth Amendment rights.
The White House is bedeviled by scandals, the second-term curse has caught up with the Obama presidency, and prospects for the U.S. economy seem dicier than a few months ago.
History is also on the GOP's side. In the second midterm elections, Presidents Wilson, FDR, Eisenhower, JFK-LBJ, Nixon-Ford, Reagan and Bush II all suffered big losses. It has become a tradition.
But if the GOP is favored to hold the House and make gains in the Senate, the long-term prognosis for the party remains grim.
First, libertarianism is breaking up that old gang of mine.
Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham call for air strikes on Syria. But no echo is heard, as the Republican Party becomes anti-interventionist.
Yet the acid test comes after Friday's Iranian election, as the neocon war drums begin to beat.
Libertarian Republicans believe the National Security Agency is Big Brother and the Brave New World at hand. National security Republicans back the agency's right to access private data banks to protect us from terrorism.
On how to deal with 12 million illegal aliens—send them home or grant them amnesty and a "path to citizenship"—the party's rancorous division will be starkly visible when the bill reaches the House.
But the existential crisis of the GOP, from which it has turned its eyes away since George H.W. Bush, is demography.
Yet the matter cannot be avoided now, for it is on page one.
"White Numbers Shrink," was the headline on the lead story in USA Today. "More Whites Dying Than Being Born," blared The Wall Street Journal. What does this mean?
In demographic terms, more white Americans died in 2012 than were born. Never before—not during the Civil War bloodletting, not during the influenza epidemic after World War I, not during th Great Depression and birth dearth of the 1930s—has this happened.
In ethnic terms, it means that Americans whose forebears came from Great Britain, Ireland and Germany, Southern and Eastern Europe—the European tribes of North America—have begun to die.
The demographic winter of white America is at hand, even as it began years ago for the native-born of old Europe.
In political terms, this is depressing news for the Republican Party. For nearly 90 percent of all Republican votes in presidential elections are provided by Americans of European descent.
In 1960 white folks were close to 90 percent of the entire U.S. population and 95 percent of the electorate. Nixon's New Majority was created by pulling Northern Catholic ethnics and Southern conservative Protestants, white folks all, out of the Roosevelt coalition and bringing them into a new alliance that would give Nixon a 49-state landslide in 1972, which Reagan would replicate in 1984.
But since that New Majority gave the Republicans five victories in six presidential elections, four of them 40-state landslides, the political world has turned upside down, and demography is the cause.
Mitt Romney won 59 percent of the white vote, a 3-to-2 victory over Obama among America's majority. In any year before 1980, that would have meant victory. But in 2012 whites were only 74 percent of those who went to the polls.
Thus, Obama's sweep of 80 percent of the African-American, Asian and Hispanic vote, one-fourth of the electorate and rising, enabled him to coast to a second term.
Between 2008 and 2012, the Hispanic vote rose 1.4 million, the black vote by 1.7 million, and the white vote fell by 2 million.
Where is America going? What does the GOP future look like?
America's white majority, 64 percent of the population and 74 percent of the electorate, still declining in relative terms, has begun to decline in real terms. Deaths outnumber births. Among all U.S. births in 2012, white babies were outnumbered by babies of color.
If Republicans are opposed to what mass immigration is doing to the country demographically, ethnically, socially and politically, there are, as Reagan used to say, "simple answers, just no easy answers."
Those answers: No amnesty, secure the border, enforce laws against businesses that hire illegals, and impose a moratorium on new immigration so wages can rise and immigrants enter the middle class and start voting as did the children and grandchildren of the immigrants of 1890-1920 by 1972.
So what are the Republicans doing?
Going back on their word, dishonoring their platform, and enraging their loyal supporters, who gave Mitt 90 percent of his votes, to pander to a segment of the electorate that gave Mitt less than 5 percent of his total votes.
Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.

IF THE GOP IS THIS STUPID, IT DESERVES TO DIE

A very interesting post from www.anncoulter.com about Republicans and their waffling immigration position. This follows this post about Republicans voting for S.744 Amnesty. This follows this post about a HOUSE amnesty threat that you should click on and call about! This follows this post about the 15 PATRIOT Senators. ONLY 15 out of 45 RUBUBLICANS! This follows this post about the release of illegal immigrant felons from prison by ICE. This follows this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants!

IF THE GOP IS THIS STUPID, IT DESERVES TO DIE


Democrats terrify Hispanics into thinking they'll be lynched if they vote for Republicans, and then turn around and taunt Republicans for not winning a majority of the Hispanic vote.

This line of attack has real resonance with our stupidest Republicans. (Proposed Republican primary targets: Sens. Kelly Ayotte, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio.) Which explains why Republicans are devoting all their energy to slightly increasing their share of the Hispanic vote while alienating everyone else in America.

It must be fun for liberals to manipulate Republicans into focusing on hopeless causes. Why don't Democrats waste their time trying to win the votes of gun owners?

As journalist Steve Sailer recently pointed out, the Hispanic vote terrifying Republicans isn't that big. It actually declined in 2012. The Census Bureau finally released the real voter turnout numbers from the last election, and the Hispanic vote came in at only 8.4 percent of the electorate -- not the 10 percent claimed by the pro-amnesty crowd.

The sleeping giant of the last election wasn't Hispanics; it was elderly black women, terrified of media claims that Republicans were trying to suppress the black vote and determined to keep the first African-American president in the White House.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, 10 percent more blacks voted in 2012 compared to 2008, even beating white voters, the usual turnout champions. Eligible black voters turned out at rate of 66.2 percent, compared to 64.1 percent of eligible white voters. Only 48 percent of all eligible Hispanic voters went to the polls.

No one saw this coming, which is probably why Gallup had Romney up by 5 points before Hurricane Sandy hit, and up by 1 point in its last pre-election poll after the hurricane.
Only two groups voted in larger numbers in 2012 compared to 2008: blacks aged 45-64, and blacks over the age of 65 -- mostly elderly black women.

In raw numbers, nearly twice as many blacks voted as Hispanics, and nine times as many whites voted as Hispanics. (Ninety-eight million whites, 18 million blacks and 11 million Hispanics.)


So, naturally, the Republican Party's entire battle plan going forward is to win slightly more votes from 8.4 percent of the electorate by giving them something they don't want.

As Byron York has shown, even if Mitt Romney had won 70 percent of the Hispanic vote, he still would have lost. No Republican presidential candidate in at least 50 years has won even half of the Hispanic vote.

In the presidential election immediately after Reagan signed an amnesty bill in 1986, the Republican share of the Hispanic vote actually declined from 37 percent to 30 percent -- and that was in a landslide election for the GOP. Combined, the two Bush presidents averaged 32.5 percent of the Hispanic vote -- and they have Hispanics in their family Christmas cards.

John McCain, the nation's leading amnesty proponent, won only 31 percent of the Hispanic vote, not much more than anti-amnesty Romney's 27 percent.
Amnesty is a gift to employers, not employees.

The (pro-amnesty) Pew Research Hispanic Center has produced poll after poll showing that Hispanics don't care about amnesty. In a poll last fall, Hispanic voters said they cared more about education, jobs and health care than immigration. They even care more about the federal budget deficit than immigration! (To put that in perspective, the next item on their list of concerns was "scratchy towels.")

Also, note that Pew asked about "immigration," not "amnesty." Those Hispanics who said they cared about immigration might care about it the way I care about it -- by supporting a fence and E-Verify.

Who convinced Republicans that Hispanic wages aren't low enough and what they really need is an influx of low-wage workers competing for their jobs?

Maybe the greedy businessmen now running the Republican Party should talk with their Hispanic maids sometime. Ask Juanita if she'd like to have seven new immigrants competing with her for the opportunity to clean other people's houses, so that her wages can be dropped from $20 an hour to $10 an hour.

A wise Latina, A.J. Delgado, recently explained on www.Mediaite.com why amnesty won't win Republicans the Hispanic vote -- even if they get credit for it. Her very first argument was: "Latinos will resent the added competition for jobs."

But rich businessmen don't care. Big Republican donors -- and their campaign consultants -- just want to make money. They don't care about Hispanics, and they certainly don't care what happens to the country. If the country is hurt, I don't care, as long as I am doing better! This is the very definition of treason.

Hispanic voters are a small portion of the electorate. They don't want amnesty, and they're hopeless Democrats. So Republicans have decided the path to victory is to flood the country with lots more of them!

It's as if Republicans convinced Democrats to fixate on banning birth control to win more pro-life voters. This would be great for Republicans because Democrats will never win a majority of pro-life voters, and about as many pro-lifers care about birth control as Hispanics care about amnesty.

But that still wouldn't be as idiotic as what Republicans are doing because, according to Gallup, pro-lifers are nearly half of the electorate. Hispanics are only 8.4 percent of the electorate.

And it still wouldn't be as stupid as the GOP pushing amnesty, because banning birth control wouldn't create millions more voters who consistently vote against the Democrats.

Listening to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus burble a few weeks ago on "Fox News Sunday" about how amnesty is going to push the Republicans to new electoral heights, one is reminded of Democratic pollster Pat Caddell's reason for refusing to become a Republican: No matter how enraged he gets at Democratic corruption, he says he can't bear to join such a stupid party as the GOP.

Even Obama’s Awful Speech Can’t Stop Senate GOP Turkeys From Voting For Thanksgiving

Barack Hussein Obama really outdid himself during his latest immigration speech. [Remarks by the President on Immigration Reform, June 11, 2013]. In almost every single speech he’s given on immigration, he concludes by giving a sob-story about an illegal alien honor student.  However, in his latest speech, he bookended the speech with tearjerkers about two illegal aliens.

Before his speech began, illegal Nigerian alien Tolu Olubunmi gave her own story—she would be a successful engineer were it not for our mean immigrant laws. (Instead she’s a Senior Policy Analyst at the Center for Community Change, according to Linkedin.com, which is not my idea of “hiding in the shadows.”)

Obama began his speech by hugging Tolu, calling her courageous for speaking out "despite the risks” (there’s so much risk when the President is praising you and makes it policy not to deport you) and said she was “representative of so many DREAMers out there” and reminds us we are a “nation of immigrants.” [Video]He ended his speech with an even longer story about Diego Sanchez, another “DREAMer” who “feels American in every way — except one; on paper.” Diego is not just an honor student, but “student of the year.” (He’s a white Hispanic from Argentina.) Diego did not even know he was an illegal immigrant until high school, and wants to get a masters degree so he can go to law school so he can “pursue a career in public policy” and “help America shape its future.”

While the story of the illegal alien honor student has been trotted out by amnesty proponents for years, it seems like this has been the year of the Honor Student Surge.

I oppose the DREAM Act. Assuming these stories are true, they are not representative of the average DREAMer, and we already have too many lawyers and too few jobs and do not need another left-wing attorney taking up Affirmative Action spots.

However, it’s worth considering that the only illegal aliens who Obama and other pro-amnesty advocates ever bring up are the DREAMers, who make up only 5-15% of the illegal population.

 Although the DREAMers are not as sympathetic as Obama and company pretend to make them, the fact that they take up half of his speech about immigration is an implicit concession that Americans have absolutely no sympathy for the 10 million+ non-DREAMer illegals.

DREAMers aside, the best Obama can say about illegals is that the “vast majority of these individuals aren’t looking for any trouble,” and are “looking to provide for their families.” Maybe, but this does not mean that they will not impose huge social and fiscal costs on our country.

With this in mind, I will address the three semi-substantive points that Obama made between his DREAMer fluff: border security, Amnesty, and legal immigration.

Obama’s main argument in favor of amnesty is not that the illegals are great, but because there our current “broken” system (he uses the term 10 times during the speech) gives “no credible way of dealing with the 11 million men and women who are in this country.”) Thus, the only solution is Amnesty—albeit with the usual phony hoops of back taxes (how do we know what they paid if they are “undocumented”), a penalty (which can and will be waived for “hardship”), and having to go to the “back of the line” for citizenship (but they will be living and working here legally while in “line.”)

Obama’s next point is that the bill will increase border security and the border is already secure. According to Obama, “illegal crossings are near their lowest level in decades.” But while a combination of tough state laws and a weak economy caused a decline in illegal border crossings in the past few years, since talk of Amnesty began this year, illegal border crossings are up 13%. [Illegal border crossings leap ahead of immigration bill,  By Stephen Dinan, The Washington Times, April 10, 2013] Given that there is no cap on the number of illegals eligible for Amnesty and no way to tell how long an illegal has been in this country, that number will skyrocket if Amnesty passes.

Obama final point was about increasing legal immigration. He said we needed it to spur our economy. According to Obama 40% of all Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants.

Obama’s speechwriters apparently took that factoid from a report by the Partnership for A New American Economy [The New American Fortune 500, June 2011 (pdf)]. Interestingly enough virtually every single one of these companies was founded by a European immigrant, with only a handful coming from Asia or the Middle East. Not one was founded by Hispanics who make the bulk of current immigration.

Obama also complains that our immigration system that “is so long and so cumbersome, so byzantine, that families end up being separated for years.” This begs the question why illegal immigrants who broke the law should be rewarded while legal immigrants are waiting patiently. More importantly, our immigration system is not “byzantine” or “cumbersome.”  Rather, we simply have more people who would like to immigrate than the 1.1 million people we allow in the country. Significantly, Obama does not mention once in his speech that the bill nearly doubles legal immigration—something that only small minority of Americans support.

Following Obama’s speech, the Senate voted to begin “formal debate” on the Amnesty/ Immigration Surge bill by 82-15. The Democrats were unanimous and 30 “Schumer Republicans”—in Daniel Horowitz’ brilliant phrase—joined them.

The only possible explanation for this extraordinary GOP behavior: corruption—or a suicide wish.
