January 25, 2012 Today on ImmigrationReform.com - SOTU: Obama Wants More Foreign Workers Today on ImmigrationReform.com, FAIR's Director of Research Eric Ruark provides some insight into President Obama's State of the Union speech on Tuesday night, and it should not surprise anyone that the President called for more cheap labor. Also, our Government Relations department takes a look at the case of a Haitian criminal illegal alien who should have been deported, but wasn't - with deadly results. See it all at www.immigrationreform.com.
Obama Uses State of the Union to Call for Amnesty Bills "Facing a deeply divided Congress, [President] Obama appealed for lawmakers to send him legislation on immigration, clean energy and housing, knowing full well the election-year prospects are bleak but aware that polls show that the independent voters who lifted him to the presidency crave bipartisanship. Obama reiterated a call for comprehensive immigration reform, including giving responsible young people a chance to earn their citizenship, and also touted the recently signed free trade agreements with Panama and Colombia," Fox News Latino reports.
Rubio Says Gingrich is Inflamatory, Inaccurate in Spanish Language Attacks on Romney "Sen. Marco Rubio scolded Newt Gingrich's presidential campaign over a Spanish-language radio ad that accuses rival Mitt Romney of being 'anti-immigrant.' 'This kind of language is more than just unfortunate. It's inaccurate, inflammatory, and doesn't belong in this campaign,' Rubio told The Miami Herald when asked about the ad," the Herald reports.
Samoan Lineman Runs Into Immigration Issue in Georgia "A relatively new Georgia Board of Regents policy regulating the admission of undocumented students and illegal immigrants has prevented a football recruit from gaining admission to the University of Georgia," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution says. "Chester Brown, a 6-foot-5, 340-pound offensive lineman from Hinesville, committed to the Bulldogs in July, but he confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and several other media outlets late Monday night that he was withdrawing his UGA commitment 'for personal reasons,' declining to elaborate."
Is There A Conservative Alternative to the DREAM Act? "The Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform coalition is continuing to strive for conservative solutions aimed at fixing our fundamentally broken immigration system. As our 2012 legislative session gets underway, we are calling on our government to rise above the difficult politics of immigration and to work toward these much needed solutions. One such solution that we believe does have bipartisan support, and that could pass in 2012, would be a conservative alternative to the DREAM Act that also includes border security," says Robert Gittelson in The Hill. "A conservative DREAM Act would not provide for any path to citizenship, or even legal permanent residency status. It would allow these children to stay in this country as non-immigrants or guest workers. This offers a very relevant distinction; it provides no mechanism for the children to petition anyone, including their parents, to come to or stay in the United States."
"Arizona Accord" Pushed by Agribusiness, Big Builders, Etc. "Arizona is following in Utah's footsteps as business and civic leaders push for public support of five principles they hope will guide Arizona's immigration discussion in a new direction. But Republican lawmakers say they're not interested in that direction. Called the Arizona Accord, the five principles mimic the Utah Compact created by business leaders in 2010," the Arizona Republic writes. "The principles support developing federal solutions, focusing local law-enforcement resources on criminal activities as opposed to civil violations of federal law, keeping families together and improving the health and well-being of all Arizona children, acknowledging the economic role immigrants play as workers and taxpayers, and treating immigrants with humanity and inclusion."
