PROF. SWAIN: No task too audacious for Obama -- except protecting U.S. jobs from illegal workers

By Roy Beck, Saturday, February 28, 2009, 2:58 AM EST

Professor Carol Swain

Carol Swain, professor of law and political science at Vanderbilt University, has noted in the Nashville Tennessean that Pres. Obama has now promised to lead the way to cure cancer, end foreign oil dependence and guarantee higher education to everyone who wants it. But when it comes to keeping illegal aliens out of U.S. jobs so that unemployed Americans (especially Blacks and Hispanics) can have them, Obama can't seem to lift a finger.

Tell Congress That Business Lobbyists Don't Speak for Most Businesses on Immigration

By Roy Beck, Wednesday, February 3, 2010, 1:06 AM EST

Zogby has uncovered some really incredible news about the nation's business owners and executives . . . . They oppose amnesty and more foreign labor importation by just about as big a margin as the rest of us!

3 Illogical Arguments for Helping Haiti by Taking More of Its Immigrants

By Roy Beck, Sunday, January 31, 2010, 9:27 PM EST

No tragedy is too great not to be exploited by U.S. open borders advocates and those who insist on using immigration to force massive U.S. population growth. The media are filled with drumbeats to use the Haitian disaster as an excuse to greatly increase immigration even further past its already record-setting pace. Here are a handful of their most illogical arguments . . .

What Pres. Obama Seemed to Say About Immigration in His State-of-the-Union Address

By Roy Beck, Wednesday, January 27, 2010, 11:18 PM EST

Pres. Obama's obtuse sentence on immigration in his address to the nation revealed a great fear of how the American people would react if he directly called for more foreign workers and for permanent jobs for the estimated 8 million illegal foreign workers. He seemed to be trying to signal to the supporters of amnesty and "comprehensive immigration reform" that he was still behind them but in words that the voters watching on TV wouldn't understand:

What A Jobs-Focused State-of-the-Union Address Ought To Say About Immigration

By Roy Beck, Monday, January 25, 2010, 6:47 PM EST

What Pres. Obama says -- or doesn't say -- about immigration will be the easiest tip-off to whether his first priority truly is putting Americans back to work. Or whether his talk about jobs is mainly a political ploy to gain back support from Independent voters. Here is what he should say . . .

HOORAY FOR HILLARY -- (she's sending the right message to potential Haitian boat people)

By Roy Beck, Friday, January 22, 2010, 5:45 PM EST

Sec. of State Hillary Clinton appears to be putting out the perfect signal to try to prevent thousands of Haitians from risking their lives in leaky boats to enter the U.S. illegally. . . .

Symbolism That Matters -- Signing the Chaffetz/Kratovil Anti-Amnesty Resolution

By Roy Beck, Thursday, January 21, 2010, 6:09 PM EST

Yes, H.Res. 1026 is only a "sense of Congress" resolution. It is non-binding. It does not fix any problems. But it does provide us an opportunity to get Members of Congress on record without having a vote on an amnesty bill. Here is why that is important . . .

Mass. Shocker Lesson to Dems About Jobs (need a solution that is cheap and credible)

By Roy Beck, Wednesday, January 20, 2010, 11:34 AM EST

Democrats can win if they can persuade voters that they have practical ways to put Americans back to work without spending a fortune of taxpayer money. Reductions in legal and illegal immigration fit the bill exactly. And Congressional Republican leaders through their inaction have left the immigration solution available for smart, moderate Democrats to pick up and win with. Any chance that we'll see more Democrats doing that after yesterday's Massachusetts shocker?

DHS Making Plans to Entice Haitians to Risk Illegal Boat Effort Into U.S.?

By Roy Beck, Monday, January 18, 2010, 3:33 PM EST

We are getting conflicting stories out of the Department of Homeland Security that it may be preparing to entice hundreds of thousands of Haitians to try to illegally enter the U.S. and then grant them some kind of legal status and work permits. Here is what we are hearing . . .

My FOX & FRIENDS Comments -- Compassion vs. Compassion

By Roy Beck, Tuesday, January 5, 2010, 7:34 PM EST

My wife liked what I said because she thought I sounded nice and empathetic in conceding that religious leaders are not hard-hearted toward unemployed Americans but just driven more by their compassion for foreign workers (including illegal ones). Others, I'm sure saw me as going a little squishy on the national TV appearance Sunday morning. What I really meant to say was . . .
