US Democrats to announce immigration reform plan (Rats want amnesty for 20 million illegals)

Democratic leaders in the U.S. Congress, seizing on the furor over Arizona's immigration crackdown, said on Thursday they would unveil a "framework" for comprehensive overhaul of U.S. immigration laws.

The announcement came as the first legal and political challenges to the new Arizona law were filed in the state and a small group of activists turned out to protest the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team at a game in Chicago.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed a measure into law on Friday that makes it a state crime to be in Arizona illegally. It also requires state and local police to determine a person's immigration status if there is "reasonable suspicion" they are in the United States illegally.

Critics say the law opens the door to racial profiling. Though polls show broad support for Arizona's law both in the state and nationally, it has sparked an outcry among Latinos, civil rights activists and organized labor ahead of planned May Day rallies this weekend.

If they get it it will be many more than 2o million. What is needed in Washington by the Social Democrats and, apparently by a few prominent Republicans, is permanent voting majority for Social Democrats and a mandate to completely disregard the Constitution. This is the final act of the Revolution if it passes. Without it other means may be necessary.

Sounds like Arizona just passed an OK plan. It sure has pissed off a bunch of liberals so there must be something to it.

Furor? Polls show 60-70% of Americans favor the law.

......one thing about the current battles over amnesty and Arizona: "It's more about the politics of 2010-12 than it is about laws."

Tell your reps that WE KNOW they intend to get re/elected----with fraudulent votes. If they don't back off, we WILL EXPOSE IT. We will demand top-to-bottom investigations of the campaigns (a) of every candidate who voted for amnesty, AND, (b) of those who attack the Arizona law.

====================================

EXPOSE----HERE'S HOW ILLEGALS GET ALL THOSE FAKE IDENTITIES TO VOTE AND VOTE AND VOTE.

2 Texans accused of planning to sell counterfeit IDs
07/21/06, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORTH BERGEN -- The Pelcastre brothers were a walking threat to national security -- expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, authorities said Thursday. When police stumbled across the pair, the men had turned a Tonnelle Avenue hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local identity broker, authorities said.

The brothers, Angel, 31, and Jorge, 34, both of Dallas, were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of government documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses for any state in the country, passports and resident alien cards, said state police Capt. Al Della Fave. "Can you imagine if a terrorist were able to get their hands on this stuff?" Della Fave said. "They'd have free passage throughout the country."

A task force including state troopers and officers from both the Bergen and Hudson county prosecutors' offices happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in the parking lot of the hotel Wednesday morning. Authorities wouldn't identify the hotel by name for fear it could hinder cooperation from other hotels in future investigations or spark retribution.

The Corporate Outreach Task Force, formerly the Hotel Motel Drug Interdiction Task Force, regularly runs checks on motor vehicles in area motels. Members of the task force began watching the cars, a Chevrolet Impala and a Pontiac Firebird, and followed the brothers to an office supply store in a nearby shopping center, where the men purchased computer supplies, said state police Sgt. Stephen Jones.

Officers then followed the brothers to a self-storage facility in Secaucus, where they loaded several boxes from a storage unit into one of the cars, Jones said. One of the men stood lookout, which heightened police suspicion, he said. Authorities approached the men when they returned to the hotel and questioned them separately, Jones said. The brothers consented to a search of their cars, hotel room and the storage facility, he said.

Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs, Jones said.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street, Della Fave said. Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a fake document broker for a shipment of 500 Social Security cards, Della Fave said.

"They were aggressively selling to brokers," he said. "This isn't like selling driver's licenses to individuals. These were multiple layers of high-level documents."

The brothers were being held without bail Thursday at the Hudson County Jail on charges of possessing fraudulent documents and conspiracy to sell fraudulent documents. Federal charges are also pending against them, said state police Detective Sgt. Cesar Huaman, a member of the task force.

====================================

Just wondering: where do these "poverty-stricken" migrants doing cheap stoop labor get the thousands of dollars to buy new identities? (/snix)

Yes, but D.C political class is 90-10% against it...Obama has shown he doesn’t listen to anything outside the DC echo chamber.
