Protect Your Rights as a U.S. Citizen? You Must Be A Yahoo!

Congress and the Administration better wake up:

In the wake of illegal aliens massing in the streets, waving Mexican flags, singing “Nuestro Himno,” and insisting that Americans comply with their list of demands—or else—public attitudes toward immigration are hardening, and beginning to have political consequences.

This is an emergency because the Senate will resume debate on an amnesty bill this week (hence the timing of the president’s address), and the consensus is that the amnesty must be approved by the Senate before Memorial Day if it is to reach the president’s desk this year.

It’s clear that both the White House and the bipartisan amnesty crowd in the Senate think that opposition to their agenda of citizenship for illegals and huge increases in legal immigration is concentrated in a small but vocal minority of yahoos that can be placated with dramatic (but ultimately empty) gestures. Put differently, the thought seems to be that a spoonful of enforcement will help the amnesty go down.

Think again.
