There has been a lot of talk recently about the President considering the use of executive action to further weaken the U.S.’s immigration policies. Whether by issuing a blanket amnesty or offering other incentives for illegal aliens to cross our borders, the President continues to make a bad problem worse.
If we want to know how the American people truly feel about illegal immigration, let’s take a look at something that recently happened in Oregon. During the November elections, with a majority of 66%, the good people of Oregon voted down a referendum that would have allowed illegal aliens to receive a driver license.
This happened in a state that leaned heavily toward President Obama in the 2012 election. This is a state which, by most definitions is one of the most liberal states in the nation. Yet, even they don’t want illegal aliens in their state. Or, at least, they don’t want illegal aliens driving cars.
But how come we aren’t hearing about this in the corporate media? This should be a huge headline on every news site. Finally, at least one state has been given a chance to truly say how they feel about illegal immigration, yet no one will talk about it.
This should be seen not only as a victory for border security advocates, but also for voter ID advocates. As conservatives we need to make ourselves heard – we like these victories and we need more of them.
