(SAN DIEGO) The immigration plan coming together in the Senate is an amnesty proposal that will turn out to be a disaster. This is no different from the amnesty plan of the 1980s which failed to stop the flow of illegal immigration over our porous national borders, Howard Kaloogian (website: www.KaloogianForCongress.com) asserted today in opposition to the proposed compromise.
President Ronald Reagan was assured that tougher action against illegal immigration would be taken right after he approved a huge amnesty proposal in 1986. As we now know, Congress reneged on the deal and we were left with weak illegal immigration laws, but millions of new citizens. The outcome of that action was to further encourage illegal immigration with people expecting another amnesty to legalize their status and make it unnecessary to comply with U.S. law.
Kaloogian said, we are heading down the same disastrous road that led to the mess were already in. This is more of the same from the people who have for too long looked the other way while millions upon millions of people violated our nations borders.
Recent street demonstrations have proven that many of these illegals are not seeking to assimilate into American society or abide by the rule of law. If we do not insist that people follow our immigration laws, then we teach them on entry that our laws mean nothing. Not only will the taxpayers be stuck for the costs of education, social services and health care, but our porous border will continue to make us vulnerable to infiltration by terrorist elements, drug smugglers and human traffickers.
The Senates amnesty plan today would lead to the eventual citizenship for more than 10 million illegal aliens who are currently in the United States illegally.
Kaloogian said, we must insist on border security first. We must ensure that American law is followed. Until that is in place, it is wrong-headed to honor illegal immigrations with a quick path to citizenship while people playing by the rules are in their home country waiting for their turn.
Perhaps most disturbing is that the Senate has not disclosed whether there are any mechanisms to assure that illegals would not be hired in the future. In other words, they are unwilling to make clear that fostering and encouraging illegal immigration will stop. All Americans should oppose this poorly thought out proposal, Kaloogian concluded.
Senate immigration subcommittee chairman Edward Kennedy (D-MA.) reassured his colleagues and the nation with the following (1965 bill):
"First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same ... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset ... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia ... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think."
Sen. Kennedy concluded by saying,
"The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs." (U.S. Senate, Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization of the Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, D.C., Feb. 10, 1965. pp. 1-3.)
Sen. Kennedy concluded by saying, { hic* }
"The bill { hic* } will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic { hic* } mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not { hic* } cause American workers to lose { hic* } their jobs."

Democrat Seeks Upset in Calif. 50th Vote

Conservative former Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian (R) has fallen off the map in today's special election in California's 50th U.S. House District.. Whether it has been his recent gaffes, or loss of support to State Sen. Bill Morrow (R) or frontrunner Eric Roach (R), Kaloogian has tailed off significantly since the last poll showed him in the midst of a very tight three-way race for the nomination.
What was a three-way race now looks like a two-way race between Roach and former Rep. Brian Bilbray (R), a moderate. Both have surged in recent polls -- Roach with a huge infusion of cash into his campaign and ads featuring President Ronald Reagan. Bilbray clearly understands that Roach is the man to beat, and his new negative mailers are aimed at the frontrunner. Leaning Roach.
There is an off chance that Francine Busby (D), the only serious Democratic candidate in the race, will run away with a majority and win without a June 6 runoff. We expect, however, that she will finish first, but below 45%. Her future is much less certain in a runoff, which would have higher turnout, falling as it does on the date of the statewide primary election. The district is two-to-one Republican in registration. A Busby win would be a huge Democratic victory, and a wakeup call for Republicans that could foretell disaster in November.
