Now that Washington is listening to their constituents, maybe, just maybe, the MSM can pull the wax plugs out of their ears and begin to hear that their viewers are tired of being spoken down to, and the immigration issue can be discussed in the proper way.
With Republicans now in control of the House Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Eric Holder and other Justice Department officials are going to be answering a lot of questions in the next two years. “We’re going to start fast,” promises Rep. Lamar Smith, new chairman of the committee, as he lists a bunch of priorities: immigration, national security, the constitutionality of Obamacare, lawsuit abuse, intellectual property, and more.
There are many areas in which Republicans and Holder are likely to disagree, but the most contentious could be immigration, starting with the enforcement of federal laws to prevent the employment of illegal immigrants. Ask Smith what he’ll be investigating, and it’s the first thing he mentions. “One initial hearing will be on work site enforcement,” he says. “We want to find out why the administration is not doing more to enforce current laws. Workplace enforcement has dropped 70 percent under the Obama administration.“
Yeah, I know I’m dreaming. We’ll all get labeled “nativists” or some such and be told American’s don’t want those jobs, etc, etc. But at least you know someone is trying.
