Joe WIlson Was Right - Sort Of

Technically, Joe Wilson was right, when he yelled out, "You lie!" to President Obama, during his speech to Congress about illegal immigrants not getting free health care. And Technically, Barack Obama was right when he said that illegal immigrants will not be getting health care, if the/a health care reform bill passes. Obama is 'technically' right, in that illegal immigrants wont be able to get health care, because his idea, hinted at by his rhetoric, is to grant amnesty to the millions of illegal immigrants already occupying America.

Immigration reform will most likely be the President's next agenda to tackle. President Obama and the Democrats would like nothing more than to make illegal immigrants legal. In other words, the left, including Barack Obama, want to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants: This would be beneficial to the Democrats, because they would increase their voting bloc significantly. If Obama were to grant them amnesty, most Mexican-Americans would vote for the Democratic candidate - be it local political elections, Congress, or Presidential candidates who have a "D" beside their name.

Will President Obama be able to make the illegal immigrants in America legal? I'm not sure yet. But the last time I checked, most Americans, regardless of political affiliation, were against any form of amnesty.

The immigration reform debate in the upcoming months is going to create some tight spots for the President.
