Democratic National Committee Supports Illegal Aliens

The East Valley Tribune reports the Democratic National Committee unanimously approved three resolutions supporting illegal aliens.

The first resolution while calling for more effective border security, says immigration reform should allow illegal aliens to "earn the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship."

A second resolution adopted Saturday condemns a proposed Colorado constitutional amendment that would deny illegal immigrants access to nonemergency government services not mandated by federal law.

The third resolution condemned groups such as the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, as vigilantes

How are we going to control illegal immigration if the leadership of the Democratic party supports it?

According to Reuters, Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean thinks the answer is to blame Republicans. At Saturday's Democratic National Committee meeting, Dean criticized the Republican emphasis on illegal immigration and said Republicans would make illegal immigrants their new scapegoats during the 2006 elections:

"In 2006, it's going to be immigrants -- that's who he is going to scapegoat next," Dean said of Bush. "Once again, the Republicans create a problem so they can think to come in and solve it."

According to MSNBC, in his first speech to the full Democratic National Committee since becoming chairman in February, Dean criticized the Republican emphasis on illegal immigration and ridiculed President Bush's recent tough talk about stronger enforcement of border security.

Dean's speech ridiculing efforts to control the borders along with Democratic calls for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq will only reinforce the perception that Democrats are not strong on national security.
