ongress soundly rejected an amnesty proposal in 2007. But the Majority Leader told his audience that immigration reform is going to happen by the end of this Congressional session, which ends in 2010, but added that he wants to get it accomplished this year if possible.
However, former Tancredo (R-Colorado) does not believe the Obama administration really wants to deal with the issue right now.
"It is my observation -- gut-level feeling really -- that they do not want to bring this up right away because the issue will revolve around something called jobs. Now how do you justify giving 20 million people who are here illegally legal access to the jobs either that they have or will take, at the same time that you're pushing ten percent unemployment?" he asks. "So I just don't think they want to have that fight right now, but they may be forced into it."
Tancredo says in the meantime the Democrats are attempting a balancing act by saying they want to get an amnesty passed immediately, but then never quite getting around to it.
If they're smart the demoncrats will continue dancing with the ethnocentric devils beyond the 2012 elections. Obama is nothing more than another politician whose first loyalty is to himself. The demoncrats know that if they even fix their mouths to utter one syllable about amnesty or attempt to bring a bill to the floor, all of them will be joining the ranks of the unemployed.

No surprise here. I've been saying this for months.

Based on the apparent backing off of the push for amnesty by that bunch of new amnesty peddlers on the forum last month, you may be right. Let's not forget though that the Dems have clear majorities in both Houses of Congress enough to pass any amnesty bill they wanted with Maobama there to sign such an amnesty bill into law. Between now and 2010 would be the best time for the Dems to pass an amnesty bill if it became evident that the Dems would lose seats in both Houses of Congress and Maobama would probably be a one term Pres like Carter. Lets face it, massive unending borrowing and spending and massive unending deficits are starting to bother your blue dog Dems and the independents who voted for Maobama, if not the radical left wingers or the biased liberal left media.
I do not see a lot of support among Democrats for a blanket amnesty though. I do not know any Democrats in Texas who support it. Then again we are at ground zero for the illegal alien invasion!
Most politicans saw the writng on the wall the last time they tried another amnesty vote in congress. They had more opposition from the pubic than any bill that year.People knew that the amnesty in the 80's failed and when the seurity of the border part was ignored people weren't going to fall for that again. Since then IMO ;there is even more oppostion. As McCain said;we got the message.he 80's bill only passed because people thpought that would stop illeagl immigration and illegals.Thatis why it contained secutiy of the borders and not just amnesty alone.Amnesty alone wouldn't have passed.
I cannot see an amnesty bill passing. There is also no urgency whatsoever in legalizing these people. No benefits to be gained by anybody but the illegals, whom we owe nothing. Amnesty, shamnesty.

Politicians are not going to do anything to jeopardize their re-election. They know darn well they will be voted out of office if they attempt another amnesty. Thus, they will continue to stall, and continue to “vow” to resolve this problem.
