Senator Jeff Sessions, the chief opponent of the immigration bill, released this statement in response to the Senate passing the law by a vote of 68-32:
Sponsors of this legislationdespite the array of financial, establishment and special interest supportfailed to hit their target of 70 votes. The more people learned about the bill the more uneasy they became. Failure to reach 70 votes is significant, and ensures the House has plenty of space to chart an opposite course and reject this fatally flawed proposal.
"So while the bill passed the Senate, this is just the beginning.
"The legislation adopted today guarantees three things: immediate amnesty before security, permanent future illegal immigration, and a record surge in legal immigration that will reduce wages and increase unemployment.
"There will be no border fence, no border surge, nothing but the same tired illusory promises of future enforcement that will never occur. Americans have begged and pleaded time and again for Congress to end the lawlessness. But this amnesty-first bill is a surrender to lawlessness. As ICE and USCIS officers have warned, it will decimate immigration enforcement and erode the constitutional rule of law upon which our national greatness depends. And it remains unfair to the legal immigrants who put enormous time and expense into following the rules our nation has established.
"This legislation demonstrates that the governing body in Washington has become severed from the people it is supposed to represent. It is a broken promise 1,200 pages long.
"The Senates loyalty must be to the American peopleimmigrant and native-born alikewho work hard, pay their taxes, fight our wars, and obey our laws. 21 million Americans cannot find full-time work. Medium household income is almost ten percent lower today than it was in 1999. But this proposal would double the number of guest workers for businesses and provide permanent legal status to more than 30 million mostly-lower skill legal immigrants in the next ten years. This huge increase in the legal immigration flow will reduce wages and raise unemployment, and displace those who have suffered the most economically. As wise observers have said, we are a nation with an economynot an economy with a nation.
"We can create a lawful immigration system that makes us proud. But for that to happen, this bill must never become law. We must return to the drawing board and produce legislation that serves the just and legitimate interests of the nation, its people, and all who wish to call America home.
Michelle Bachman explained it. ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse.NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call congress.
Tell them to stop all Amnesty or immigration bills.they are all trojan horse bills. some will promise border security that will never be enforced anyway.
Bachmann explained it . The House will write a border security bill only . then in conference the senate will add the virus and then bring it back to the house. then the conservatives wont vote for it but democrats will all vote for it so then they only need 10% of republicans to pass Amnesty and the virus that will destroy America. so any bill at all will be added the virus . so best thing is for Boner to not let any immigration bill at all come out of the House. that is the only hope . call boner and the members of the House.
in the bill will be the virus:
at least 3 ways to destroy the USA
1. amnesty to 30 million illegals and chain migration.
2. Amnesty forever to ANY foreigner in the 3rd world. all he has to say is hes seeking political asylum .there are 6 billion poor in the 3rd world . and this bill will allow any of them to come here , all they have to do is to get on a boat and come here.
3. many more work visas for many occupations
Please repost this— as a vanity if you have to. Freepers need to re-visit this. It will take everything to prevent boner from letting this be brought to the floor as you describe.
Also remember 6 years ago on Fox, Brit Hume's Special Report was stacked with all pro-amnesty shills - Fred Barnes from Weekly Standard (the very same author of the above editorial), Kondracke, and Mara Liasson from NPR.
Now in 2013, not only did they print this scathing criticism from Jeff Sessions, but also Kristol is writing editorials opposing the 2013 senate amnesty bill. For example 'No Legislation is Better Than This Legislation'
Has the Weekly Standard come to its senses in 2013? I would like that to be true, but I doubt that Krystol really seriously objects to a path-to-citizenship. He seems to be saying it's a wasteful stinking mess, which it is.
It’s the Democrat’s plan, therefore it’s evil.
A Republican plan with the exact same wording would be the greatest thing ever.
Yesterday I quipped that the Republicans could take one comma out of the Senate bill on page 176, call it their own plan, and push it with all their might.
That’s a stretch, but that’s about how bad it is these days.
Thanks. It’s hard for me to believe they are the same people who say Obama is bad, while doing exactly what Obama wants.
I agree. They couldn’t be doing anything more in the Left’s favor.
That was on my list to mention but I forgot to . I saw him on FNS ranting about how this Senate bill should get killed.
In 2006/2007 Kristol was as pro-amnesty as Rubio is now.
The difference? Back then Bush would have got credit for it. He loved GWB.
Actually I think Kristol loves McCain even more than he did GWB.
What is interesting is that Kristol, MCcain and Rubio are all neocons. Always itching to drop bombs and send troops. But Kristol I bet sees in this case Dems get the win.
” What is interesting is that Kristol, MCcain and Rubio are all neocons. Always itching to drop bombs and send troops.”
PUKENEOS
First in war, last in conservative practice.
Thanks I’ll try to repost it as much as I can
feel free to repost it or do something in your own words
Rubio added FREE CELL PHONES for illegals.....you subsidize via your phone bills.
What else is hiding in this bill?
Accuracy in Media reports that the immigration reform bill includes two slush funds amounting to $150,000,000 that may be supplemented with additional taxpayer dollars for years to come. These funds would go to public or private, non-profit organizations such as the blood-thirsty La Raza, Casa de Maryland, and the leftist American Immigration Lawyers Association!
These, and multiple latino organizations are devoted to helping illegals apply for legal status. The bill not only provides amnesty for illegal immigrants, but does so as well for their employers.
As the conservative Center for Immigration Studies points out, Illegal aliens will be rewarded for breaking laws for which American citizens are routinely punished such as the use of fraudulent Social Security cards, while imposing a $1,000 penalty that in many cases would be waived. Then they would be issued a new Social Security number without any past bad credit or arrest records.
=========================================
Immigration reform includes two slush funds amounting to $150,000,000 that may be supplemented with additional taxpayer dollars for years to come, earmarked for non-profit organizations such as the blood-thirsty La Raza.
LA RAZA TEACHING HATE-AMERICA WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS La Raza Studies do not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans: Raza Studies textbook Occupied America, by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him, (pg. 323).
The following is taken directly from La Raza's Occupied America (pg. 167): .......execute all white males over age 16, (AKA the Plan of San Diego).
America-hating Raza Studies teach (1) violence, (2) undermining US ntl security, and, (3) the need for Mexico to "re-take seven states in the Southwest...in order to make the SW a Chicano nation. "
SCHOOL BOARD NUT CASES Adelita Grijalva is the woman on the Arizona school board pimping La Raza indoctrination programs in Tuscon schools. Adelita is all up in arms about Raza Studies getting tossed via the AZ state legislature's action...she is the daughter of Raul Grijalva (D-AZ-7) who was just narrowly re-elected to our US Congress. Cong Raul Grijalva is one of Mexicos most productive and loyal Fifth Column in the US Congress....aiding and abetting the latino criminal underworld, colluding to take back the SW, and loot and pillage the US treasury.
Raul and friend.
Rubio hired a puke for his prez campaign.
The pukes gleefully kicked conservatives to the curb when they squatted in the Repub party.
Rove-puppet Bush had announced the “big tent” party....and installed them in the WH.
He missed the part about employers being penalized ~$5000 per hear for hiring American citizens instead of amnestied aliens - thanks to Obamacare (from which the aliens are exempt).
