How Much More Can Go Wrong?

Okay, so I heard some disturbing news today. You know how Obama promised that the illegal immigrants won't get health care? Well, did he mention the new immigration bill? The administration would like to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. Thats right amnesty for around 12 million illegal immigrants (closer to 20 million). Wow! I don't even know what to say to that one. I mean, yes these illegal immigrants do the jobs that we won't, and for less pay, but is giving them amnesty really helping the American people? Seriously, think about this. There are around 12 million illegal immigrants, that we know of, working in America right now. So, that is 12 million, or more, jobs that the American people could have.
Our unemployment is at 10%, but that is only counting the 10% thats still looking. If you count the people who have given up the search, unemployment has reached closer to 20%. Now, if 12 million jobs opened up, wouldn't that help slightly with unemployment? But enough of that, we are talking about health care! Did you know that the current administration in trying to push immigration amnesty before the next election? Do you wonder why this is being done? I sure don't. Think of how many that will have health care that we pay for if that happens! 12 million more people to pay for. YAY!
So, there are over 10 states, including the great state of Utah, that have decided to go against congress. their reason? They argue that the new health care is unconstitutional. They say that congress cannot force people to have health care. The people who don't want this bill want congress to realize that it is congress' job to protect the people's rights, NOT GRANT THEM.
Well, health care passed, but my question is, will the immigration bill? And if it does, how much damage will that do? And will it save the approval rating of the administration? Just so you know, President obama is at about 40% approval, Biden is around 20%, and Pelosi is at 12%. It should be interesting to see where this goes.
