Amendment extends E-Verify (Immigration Bill)
The Washington Times ^ | Wednesday, May 1, 2013 | Stephen Dinan

The latest version of the Senate immigration bill still repeals E-Verify but keeps it operational in the meantime so businesses in states that require its use can keep using it over the next five years.

That change is part of a new 350-page amendment filed late Tuesday by the “Gang of Eight” senators who wrote the bill, which now runs to 867 pages and covers everything from legalizing illegal immigrants to boosting border security to rewriting the legal immigration system.

“We have made some technical fixes and clarifying edits to the legislative language, but that’s it. This is a routine step,” said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat and chief sponsor of the bill.

He said they worked to finish the new version more than a week before the bill goes to the Judiciary Committee for the first votes on May 9.

In place of E-Verify, the bill sets up a successor Electronic Verification System over several years.

The bill’s authors said calling it a repeal of E-Verify was a misunderstanding. They added new language specifically keeping the program operational, which they said was meant to “clarify” the matter while the new system is being set up.

Lawmakers also tightened up prohibitions on drunk drivers, so that those convicted of three drunken-driving charges are deemed inadmissible regardless of when the charges happened. Under the previous version, immigrants had their slate wiped clean once the bill passed and had to accrue three new drunken-driving convictions to be deemed inadmissible.

In order to be deported, though, one of the three offenses must happen after the law takes effect.

In another section, the new bill directs that money for high-tech education scholarships go chiefly to women and minorities.

....and the Obama administration has said E-Verify should be expanded nationwide.

So, since the Obamites and many Republicans won't enforce current immigration laws, place the costs to business for verifying employees onto the taxpayers backs, and enslave us all at the same time for the sake of a few lawbreakers. Sounds reasonable.

And while you're at it, throw in some candy to minorities and women to help get this thing passed.

Mexican drunkards should be more careful if this law passes.

What other little beauties are in this thing? Better pass it so we can find out what's in it.

FAIL!!

This stuff is too hilarious to be believed. If only it weren’t so real, tragic and insane.
