Fellow Common Sense Citizens:
In case you haven't heard yet, a new "comprehensive" immigration bill has been introduced in the United States House of Representatives. The bill is backed by a coalition of progressive caucuses. A roundup of news sources on the new immigration bill is included below.
Via the Wall Street Journal:
"The legislation is set to be introduced by Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D., Ill.), the chairman of the House Immigration Caucus. The effort has the backing of two key groups within the House Democratic membership - the Hispanic and liberal-leaning Progressive caucuses.
It would offer a path to legal residence for people currently living illegally in the U.S., and would create a new panel within the Department of Homeland Security to make recommendations about future inflows of immigrants, according to an aide to a member of the Progressive Caucus familiar with the legislation.
Illegal residents in the U.S. with no criminal records would be able to pay a fine, start to pay taxes, take English and civic classes, and after six years be able to apply for a green card.
It was unclear how large the fine would be, and whether the immigrants would be required to pay unpaid back taxes."

Via the Washington Times:
"Democrats on Tuesday begin their new push for an immigration bill, hamstrung by the image of legalizing millions of illegal immigrant workers at a time when the unemployment rate stands at 10 percent -- more than twice what it was the last time Congress tried to act...
A draft overview of the bill, circulated with the letter, ends some enforcement tools such as the 287(g) local police cooperation program, calls for an electronic verification system to replace the voluntary E-verify program, argues that there's no need for more U.S. Border Patrol agents or fencing, and establishes a long-term path to citizenship for illegal immigrants."
A Press Release from the SEIU:
"Until Congress passes comprehensive reforms, workers will continue to be pitted against each other--denied the opportunity to unite their strength and demand the labor and civil rights protections we need to lift our economy and raise living standards for everyone. This is unacceptable."

This is going to be one hell of a battle, between a large majority of the AMERICAN PEOPLE, versus, awarding ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS and the RULE OF LAW. This will be remembered in the annuls of political history as one pro-illegal immigrant, anti-sovereignty politicians, finding themselves next year in the unemployment line with millions of other Americans.
ReplyDeleteWe are about to enter the new year and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL.) has offered an amendment that would tighten up some of the citizenship verification loopholes in the Senate health care reform bill (H.R.3590). Jeff Sessions' amendment would establish citizenship identification standards for the DHS Secretary, maintain the current 5-year waiting period for new legal immigrants and requires a status check using the SAVE PC application. This includes E-Verify, federal illegal immigrant job elimination program that's source is the universal internet. Radical organizations have tried to displace it, which was driven by the US.Chamber of Commerce, American Civil Liberties Union, large congregational religion, workers unions, subversive ethnic groups and treasonous lawmakers like Louis Gutteriez (D-IL), Sen. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi--but thats just skimming the surface of political pawns. CALL YOUR SENATORS AND EVEN CONGRESSMEN/ WOMEN. NOW and urge them to support this amendment. The Capitol Switchboard's telephone number is 202-224-3121.
The above phone number plus a 28cent postcard invasion of the Senate-House, could stop the out of control rush towards a Comprehensive Immigration Reform disaster. This is another name for BLANKET AMNESTY, of which (CIR) will legalize and reward all those who broke our Sovereign laws. Immigrants who waited patiently in line to be processed, have been shown that its a lot quicker to break the law and not be apprehended for their violation. The fact is millions and millions of indigent people will rush the border fence, to be counted when President Obama pushes through another AMNESTY.
Nobody in power seems to notice or cares that the 1986 law, turned into a absolute travesty. Newly legalized farmworkers deserted their jobs, looking for greener pastures in every state, causing unfair competition for lowly skilled citizens and legal residents. This time it could even be worse for the legal population, as millions of legitimized labor will undercut US workers. GOOD FOR LARGE AND SMALL BUSINESSES--NOT GOOD AT ALL FOR THE POPULACE WITH FAMILY COMMITMENTS? In November, both the number of unemployed persons, at 15.4 million, with the prior 3 months indicating payroll losses averaging 135, 000 a month. We must all adjoin with friends, family members and co-workers to immediately halt any new immigration reform package. It will hurt us all--and tell future illegal immigrants and those already here, we do not in anyway condone illegal entry through airports as a student or tourist, or through either border.
There must be heavy consequences to illegally settling here, such as upgrading the unathorised entry to a felony. In the future we must have an orderly immigration recruitment system, but only for people with highly skilled qualifications. Guest Workers must be equally vetted and not just given permission without strict--return instructions home, after completing their contract. No family reunification, because this has been rife with fraud as sponsors end up reneging on the financial aspect. All this issues can easily be resolved with amendment to the 1986 immigration bill. What to do with 20 to 30 million illegal aliens from across the world, slowly repatriate them using the SAVE ACT. Understand the immigration enforcement gradings of your politicians at NUMBERSUSA. Understand how taxpayers have been taken for a ride for decades and the unrevealed costs to you. See what JUDICIAL WATCH has to say about CORRUPTION in WASHINGTON.
HOpe the Health Care Bill does not make it.
ReplyDeleteAs to this Amnisty, when President Reagan put a stop to business hiring illegals, it did nothing. President Bush turned on the green light for these cheap labors to come on in.
The cleaning of this mess up after such willful corruption is not as black and white as it seems. Gov. Huckabee recommended giving a date certain for all illegals to leave and reapply to come back. Those found hiding thereafter cannot return once found.
What a mess. You have grandchildren of illegals, second generation Americans.
