Barack Obama May Want Open Borders, But He Is In A Minority


President Obama wants to do immigration reform instead of securing the borders or passing laws cracking down on illegal immigrants and those who enable them to live in this country illegally. The majority of Americans disagree with him. They want tough sanctions on employers who hire illegal immigrants and landlords who provide them housing.
Seventy percent (70%) of U.S. voters favor strict government sanctions on employers who hire illegal immigrants, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey...

President Obama not only disapproves of Arizona's new law enabling law enforcement officers to check immigration status, but he is fighting to prevent Arizona from enforcing employer sanctions on those who hire illegal immigrants.
The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court decision that upheld Arizona’s right to punish employers for hiring illegal immigrants.

The Arizona law gives the state the right to suspend or terminate business licenses.

“If you hire a person in this country illegally knowingly, you’ll lose your license. First offense, 10 days. Second offense, revocation, never to do business in the state of Arizona again,” said Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce, a Republican who helped draft the new controversial Arizona law that cracks down on illegal immigrants.

The Obama administration apparently worries letting that law stand would leave in place a precedent that states have a legitimate role in enforcing immigration laws — a notion the administration fiercely opposes. . . .

The picture says it all. Obama and Democrats are pandering for the Hispanic vote.
