FOR EXAMPLE, our
nation saw this behavior during the national budget crisis.
Republicans would rather shut-down the government than find a real
solution in balancing the budget. This strategy cost taxpayers $18.9
Billion. We continue to hear Republicans criticize and attack the
Affordable Care Act, a law passed by Congress, signed by President
Obama and upheld by the Supreme Court on June 28, 2012. Now,
Republicans are blocking the passage of a Comprehensive Immigration
law.
IMMIGRATION issue:
Yes, President Obama made the campaign promise that would give us
[Mexicans] a comprehensive immigration law. However, as President
Obama talks about immigration reform or as much as he tries to have
an immigration bill voted on, House Speaker John Boehner
[R-OH] refuses to bring it up for a vote. One thing is clear, Boehner
is afraid of the “Tea Party” members within the Republican Party.
They are adamant in their thinking and will not reason. For this, we
cannot blame President Obama for not being able to keep his promise.
THE MAINSTREAM media
have quoted many Republicans saying that a comprehensive immigration
bill is dead, but we know they are playing politics. The real reason
Republicans continue to create obstacles and make-up excuses, for not
supporting Immigration Reform, is because they know that the
immigrants of today will become future Democratic voters. It’s all
about the vote!
THERE’S MORE…Now,
Speaker John Boehner wants to file a lawsuit against President Obama
because Obama is using his “Executive Powers”. “Executive
Powers” are the president's constitutional powers to issue
executive orders, which carry the authority of law but do not have to
be approved by Congress. President Obama has issued 175 executive
orders to date. He signed fewer in his first term than George W.
Bush, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan in their first
terms.
PRESIDENT OBAMA calls
the lawsuit a “stunt”. I call it a waste of taxpayer's money and
time. Boehner said he will introduce legislation in the House later
this month that would allow the House to sue President Obama. More
drama.
SHAME: Our Illinois
U.S. Senator, Mark Kirk [R-IL], recently announced he wants
all the undocumented children from South America, who have crossed
the Mexican border into America, be given a criminal background
check. These are children! Instead of treating these children like
criminals, we should treat them as humanely as possible before
sending them back to their country of origin. Isn't America a
compassionate country? What does the sonnet inscribed on a plaque at
the base of the Statue of Liberty, “Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”? This is a shameful
idea coming from a United Sates Senator.
Alan J. Dixon |
WHEN SEN. Dixon was
the Democratic candidate for Illinois State Secretary of State he was
endorsed by the Hispanic American Labor Council, overwhelmingly. As
Secretary of State, Alan was the first Secretary to create a
Secretary of State Hispanic Advisory Council for the office. He said
he wanted to know what issues were affecting the Hispanic community
in the Secretary of State's facilities. I was honored to be Chairman
of the Hispanic Advisory Council.
THE SECRETARY of State
Hispanic Advisory Council made two recommendations to Secretary
Dixon. At that time clerks in the Secretary of State's Driving
facilities were confiscating documents from Mexicans who were
applying for driving license; alleging that the documents looked
bogus. The Hispanic Advisory Council requested that the clerks cease
the confiscation of any documents from members of our Mexican
community because they were not federal agents. Dixon
agreed. He issued a stop order to all facilities. The second
recommendation was for more bilingual clerks at the driver's
facilities.
IN AN INTERVIEW last year, Alan
Dixon said, “We don't have any bipartisanship now. We've just got
everybody mad at one another. There is no speaking.” Sadly,
bipartisanship is missing in Washington, D.C. today. Dixon said, “Our
representatives need to sit down and make a deal.”
MY PERSONAL friendship with
Alan J. Dixon will never be forgotten. He was a “pal.”
