Can Anyone Tell Me Why We Need Immigration Reform?

Well, can you?  I mean, we have all sorts of laws concerning immigration and we allow over half a million legal immigrants into our country every year.  "Well, what about amnesty?" - some people say.  I cannot figure out one thing about amnesty - that is why?  No one has been able to tell me what the real purpose of amesty is - besides making bunches of illegal aliens no longer illegal.  So I challenge anyone who bothers to come across this blog to please tell me what is it that amnesty accomplishes.

Do you wonder what is wrong with immigration in America?  I will give you a hint:  Maybe it is because of Border Czar * - Alan Bersin.  I mean if you see a problem, first look at who is in charge.  This guy was one of those "recess appointments" by Obama.  I do not understand why more people aren't calling this guy to the carpet concerning our immigration issues. He reports to: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano

Supposedly his job includes:
   • Coordinate all of the department's border security and law-enforcement efforts..
   • We expect him to handle illegal immigration and drug violence issues along the Mexican-American border
   • Previous experience: Chairman of the San Diego Regional Airport Authority (2006 to 2009); Secretary of Education for California (2005 to 2006); Superintendent of San Diego Public Schools (1998 to 2005); U.S. Attorney for San Diego (1993 to 1998)
     • Talking about border security shortly before he was named Clinton border czar in 1995, said he wanted to focus on suspected smugglers of both drugs and people and was not interested in prosecuting “economic migrants.”

Bersin previously held a similar job in the Clinton Administration. He is tied to the policy in 1994 when the U.S. shifted focus from the arresting of immigrants who actually crossed the border to an increased border presence designed to stop border crossing in the first place. When Bersin left the position in 1998, border arrests were on pace for an 18-year low of just more than 200,000.

So maybe, just maybe just one more of these Obama appointments is the real reason for non-enforcement of immigration laws and  why we are in such a mess today.

Anyways, stay safe!
