Apparently the interests of illegal aliens are now defined as “public interest“. What exactly is the point of having a “no lobbyist” rule if you’re going to break it more often than you abide by it? Besides trying to score political points, of course.

President Obama has issued waivers allowing two appointees who were formally registered lobbyists to work for his administration.

The waivers ensure the two appointees can work for the administration under his executive order on ethics, which was intended to reform the revolving door between K Street and the government.

The waivers were provided for Jocelyn Frye, director of policy and projects in the Office of the First Lady, and Cecilia Munoz, director of intergovernmental affairs in the executive office of the president. The two waivers were announced on the White House blog Tuesday evening, which said the exceptions were granted under a “public interest” exemption of the executive order on ethics.

Munoz was a senior vice president for the National Council of La Raza, where she supervised all legislative and advocacy activities on the state and local levels. Munoz was heavily involved in the immigration battles in Congress in recent years, and is now a principal liaison to the Hispanic community for the administration.

Basically the Obama Administration now has open-borders lobbyists working on Hispanic affairs and leading “intergovernmental affairs”. Prepare to have amnesty shoved down your throats under the guise of saving the economy. Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod will find some way to present it as a critical aspect of saving both Wall Street and Main Street. And the sheep of America (read: most of the electorate) will eat it right up.

Chances of stopping amnesty this time around? Slim-to-none. Arlen Specter is convinced it’s a necessary move because some guy at his gym told him so. Democrats know that granting citizenship to the 12-20 million illegal aliens, regardless of the impact on the country, will grant them another reliable voting block for generations. It’s a political move to shut-out Republicans and secure their majority. And geniuses like McCain and Martinez will go right along with it, believing the people who wouldn’t even get in line and follow the law will suddenly become fiscal/defense/social conservatives.
