You have to hand it these politicians and their creative (deceptive) acronyms: the WISH Act, the DREAM Act…

The latest is [S.2049] the Welcoming Immigrants to a Secure Homeland Act.

Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM…yes, he is actually a Republican) introduced S.2049 as another option to debate next week when the Senate turns to immigration reform. [email him]

From his own website press release:

“The time is right to fix our immigration laws, which are not working properly,” Domenici said. “My bill strikes a sensible and realistic balance between cracking down on illegal immigration while encouraging legal immigration. Slamming the door on immigration or unilaterally deporting millions of illegals already in the country is just unrealistic.”

Here is part of the bill summary from the same website:

• The bill would create a guest worker visa for up to three 3-year periods (9 years total) for immigrants to gain legal entry into the Unites States, and potentially apply for permanent resident status. The bill would allow 500,000 such visas the first year, with subsequent visas increased based on market need
• The measure establishes a program to allow illegal immigrants now in the United States—estimated at up to 12 million people—to apply for legal guest worker status. This proposal entails paying a fine and obtaining a legal guest worker visa.

In his quote above, Domenici says his bill is a “realistic balance between cracking down on illegal immigration while encouraging legal immigration.”

Looks to me like its more of a caving in and giving the immigration lobby everything they want at the expense of Americans.

The sale of US Ports to the Arabs is an incredibly bad idea, both politically, and from the standpoint of national security. Thus it’s not surprising that the Wall Street Journal supports it.

Michelle Malkin has more details, but she highlighted this piece of stunning cluelessness on the Journal’s part:

Yes, some of the 9/11 hijackers were UAE citizens. But then the London subway bombings last year were perpetrated by citizens of Britain, home to the company (P&O) that currently manages the ports that Dubai Ports World would take over. Which tells us three things: First, this work is already being outsourced to “a foreign-based company”; second, discriminating against a Mideast company offers no security guarantees because attacks are sometimes homegrown; and third, Mr. Graham likes to talk first and ask questions later.

Perhaps the WSJ doesn’t realize that there are still different nations and nation states in the world but here it is: Britain is not the United Arab Emirates.The Arabs not British..

The reason that the London bombing were committed by “citizens of Britain,” is because Britain extended citizenship to a great many dangerous Muslims. This is what it technically known as a “preventable evil.“The attacks weren’t homegrown, but rather transplanted.

But Britain is still dominated by actual Britons, the stock from which the founders American nation came. The British are America’s allies in the War on Terror.

The UAE, on the other hand, is all dangerous Muslims, from top to bottom. They aren’t allies; they’re enemies. The Journal, in it’s transnational way, once again proves unable to tell the difference.
