This week marks the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s 41st Annual Legislative Conference,which was be held on September 23,2011,in Washington,D.C.

The Obama administration announced last month that it will adopt a case-by-case review process for the approximately 300,000 illegal immigrants currently facing possible expulsion from the U.S. The administration will concentrate its efforts on deporting illegal immigrants with criminal convictions and will essentially pardon what it deems as “low-priority cases.”
Jackson-Lee and her colleagues in the CBC have also supported a number of wrongheaded immigration policies in the last decade. In 2005,Jackson-Lee supported “Save America Comprehensive Immigration Act”(H.R. 2092),a bill that would have granted legalization to aliens who have resided in the U.S. for five years,who demonstrate knowledge of English,who have no criminal convictions,and who complete 40 hours of community service. This bill has been resurrected in subsequent years while maintaining strong electoral support from CBC members. The “Comprehensive Immigration Act”is just another egregious attempt to court a subset of voters while creating programs that reward unlawful behavior and further endanger American workers.
African-American workers are likely the demographic group most harmed by our failure to protect the borders and enact aggressive workplace penalties. The unemployment rate for African-Americans surged to….

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
