While today’s topic, illegal immigration, is critically important on its own, what’s of even more concern is the source of the following story that appeared on foxnews.com.

 

Fox says, “The Associated Press reported last week that the new federal contract proposal from the Homeland Security Department would allow the government to buy enough supplies to make as many as 34 million immigrant work permits and residency cards over the next five years. The move appeared to suggest that the administration is preparing for a surge of work permit applications from illegal immigrants.”

 

The possibility of a flood of new illegals arriving here prompted Kenneth Palinkas, who is president of the National Citizenship and Immigration Services Council, to issue a press release stating his belief that the move indicates the administration is planning to enact “massive unilateral amnesty” after the midterm elections.

The reason his reaction is far more important than most others is, he’s not a politician, isn’t running for office, doesn’t have a voting constituency but instead, holds a post that provides first-hand information about illegal's on a daily basis and is one of those ultimately responsible for dealing with the problems they create. 

 

In that regard, Mr. Palinkas advised that “If you care about your immigration security and your neighborhood security, you must act now to ensure that Congress stops this unilateral amnesty. Let your voice be heard and spread the word to your neighbors. We who serve in our nation’s immigration agencies are pleading for your help – don’t let this happen. Express your concern to your Senators and Congressmen before it is too late.”

While the union “represents 12,000 officers of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services,” it’s also the agency responsible for processing visas and other immigration papers.” Therefore, Mr. Palinkas is certainly qualified to observe that, “federal immigration officers are already struggling to complete their mission, and the new contract indicates things could get worse.”

Most damning of all was his summation in which he stated that, “Whether it’s the failure to uphold the public charge laws, the abuse of our asylum procedures, the admission of Islamist radicals, or visas for health risks, the taxpayers are being fleeced and public safety is being endangered on a daily basis.”

So, once again we have evidence of the difference between misguided liberal ideologies and the real world. Which reminds me of the Dean Martin line: “If you are going to hit me with logic, then I don’t want to chit chat,” that ought to be adopted by Democrats as their party slogan.

That’s it for today folks.
