Face it. Obama has us by the "short hairs" on this Dream act move. It's like being in favor of baby seals being killed. We have been able to stop it at the Congressional level, but when Obama singles it out by Presidential order and put it in force, we look like Simon Legree coming out against it.

Not necessarily. I think it has occurred to the unemployed youth of America, which includes lots of black youth, that Obama just legalized millions of their competition -- for as we can point out, it's easy to use the 18 year old who came here as a baby as the poster child for amnesty. But what's to stop every 30 year old from claiming he came here 15 years ago as a 15 year old, instead of last week? Nothing. He's undocumented, remember? So you can't ask for documents. So in effect, this is a general amnesty. I think we can say, "Obama thinks the private sector is just fine if none of you have a job." We can say it to everybody under 30, and we can say it to blacks, who don't do well in the labor market when they have to compete against Mexicans.
