Immigration Reform is on the Way
On Aug 10, 2009, President Obama said:
"But ultimately, I think the American people want fairness. And we
can create a system in which you have strong border security, and an
orderly process for people to come in. But we're also giving an
opportunity for those who are already in the United States to be able
to achieve a pathway to citizenship so they don't have to live in
the shadows."

President Obama is right, Americans want fairness. What they don't
understand is how breaking the law to get into the country, and then
being granted citizenship before those standing in line legally in foreign
nations is fair. Neither do I. That is why the previous immigration
bill caused so much furor.
It is up to all people who believe in the rule of law to make
this clear to the lawyer in the White House. It's one thing to know
the law and teach it. It's another thing entirely to understand the law.
Blog early and often against granting citizenship to any illegal
aliens who wish amnesty and citizenship for themselves ahead of
their fellow countryman who stand in line legally.
