October 13, 2009 The (Bad) Memory of 1986 Writing for uExpress.com, Georgie Anne Geyer wonders why the President isn't more concerned about the emotional issue of true immigration reform and why every time it is mentioned amnesty for the 13-20 million illegal aliens in this country seems to be the central theme. The main problem is that the memory and betrayal of what happened to the last amnesty granted in 1986 still rings loudly for the majority of the American people. But Ms. Geyer, after attending FAIR's recent board meeting and hearing a speech by prominent historian Dr. Otis Graham Jr., professor emeritus at the University of Southern California, has some great advice for the President and the Congress - carry out immigration reform honestly and effectively this time. Follow it up with real border and immigration control, and you might find that the American people could be with you and that a new era could open for America. You can read Ms. Geyer's full article here.
Lack of Entry-Exit Tracking Shows in Dallas Terror Plot Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, the suspect in a plot to attack a Dallas office building, overstayed his visitor visa. The New York Times notes that eight years after 9/11, there is still no automatic exit tracking system in place so visa overstays can be identified. "Mr. Smadi, like many tourists who overstay visas, was able to fade easily into society and encountered few barriers to starting a life here, according to court documents and people who know him. He enrolled in high school, obtained a California identification card, landed jobs in two states and rented a string of apartments and houses. He bought at least two used cars, and even procured a handgun and ammunition."
Amnesty Supporters Prepare for Senate Fight National Journal says the amnesty lobby is gearing up for a fight in the Senate soon. "'We went through this two years ago, and I don't think the public's reaction is going to be any better in 2010 given the state of the economy today,' said Ira Mehlman, media director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. 'I don't think that come next November members of Congress are going to want to go home and say, No, we didn't get the economy going, but, hey, we granted amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens.'"
Over Half of Americans Say Gov't Policy Encourages Illegal Immigration The latest poll from Rasmussen Reports finds that 56 percent of voters say government policy encourages illegal immigration.
