Pelosi Tells Illegal Immigrants That Work Site Raids are Un-American.
While I am no fan of some of the enforcement tactics, I think that Pelosi is really off base with what she is doing here. We should not be letting illegal immigrants get the idea that it's okay to be here illegally. And I think essentially that is what she is doing. With the economy the way it is we need to be thinning the herd a bit and reducing the number of entitlement dependent people in the U.S. Starting with illegal immigrants.
While I disagree with the armed LEO's raiding houses and separating parents from children thing, I truly believe we have to make this country a nice place to visit, but not stay (unless you're legal). Penalizing employers heavily and cutting off welfare benefits are a start. Traveling around telling groups of people, some of whom are presumably illegal immigrants, that anti-immigration enforcement is un-American is ridiculous. Workplace enforcement of immigration laws is necessary.
Pelosi should step down.
By William Lajeunesse said:House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently told a group of both legal and illegal immigrants and their families that enforcement of existing immigration laws, as currently practiced, is "un-American."
The speaker, condemning raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, referred to the immigrants she was addressing as "very, very patriotic."
"Who in this country would not want to change a policy of kicking in doors in the middle of the night and sending a parent away from their families?" Pelosi told a mostly Hispanic gathering at St. Anthony's Church in San Francisco.
"It must be stopped....What value system is that? I think it's un-American. I think it's un-American."
