Title: Desperate Dems Turn up the Heat on Amnesty
Post by: Alpha Mare on April 30, 2010, 03:52:42 AM: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=36780

Democrats are desperately attempting to make the Arizona state crackdown on illegal immigration a national election-year issue. The border violence is already a big issue for voters, but not in the way Dems would like.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer got a 16 point bounce in approval rating after signing the tough new illegal immigration bill into law while Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) -- whoâ€™s taken the lead in pandering for Hispanic votes pushing an amnesty bill this year -- hovers around 40% in the polls against every possible Republican challenger in new polling released Thursday.

Reid, along with Democrat Sens. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) and Robert Menendez (N.J.), released their immigration proposal yesterday that talks big on border security (without adequate funding) and enacts a â€œpathway to citizenshipâ€ amnesty.

The plan would sell American citizenship to those illegally entering this country by requiring them to simply pay the government a fine.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) introduced an actual border enforcement bill in the Senate on Wednesday that offers immediate funding grants to local law enforcement in the border regions to help combat the drug cartel violence bleeding across the border.

Washington, DC - DNC Chairman Tim Kaine issued the following statement on the immigration reform proposal announced today in the Senate: ....

And we all know what that means.
