Stunning facts about the proposed immigration bill

SENATOR SESSIONS ON SECURING AMERICA'S BORDERS ACT Mr. President, I thank Senator Leahy, ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. I have received just this afternoon in my office some disturbing news in the form of correspondence from the Congressional Budget Office. It suggests a number of areas where the amendment we are talking about here today, No. 3424, the immigration so-called compromise, violates our budget and the rules of the Senate. Let me read from the correspondence we have received. This is something, as you know, Mr. President, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, that we never discussed at all. It is not a matter we spent any time at all discussing as we moved forward with legislation which ultimately cleared that committee and came to the floor — legislation which I thought was not good legislation and which I opposed, and so did the Senator from Texas, who just relinquished the Chair. We didn't discuss the financial impact of the legislation before us. Stand Up For America !

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

As a mother/grandmother thank you for your son, thank you for his sacrifice and I too will die for protecting our country and refuse to be bullied by all those not only wishing to infilitrate as they have BUT so many, which will be obvious later today, that wish to control us and our country and see us gone

There is nothing bigoted about defending your home.

As you can tell we as American citizens are willing to die for that, we are a passionate group, we anger strong, we are patriotic for our beliefs and if they want our country they will have to kill us

And justice for all
~Alan Ketes

Catholic prelates and other members of the Christian community rightly regard the issue of immigration as an issue of justice. However, some are at fault when they speak as if the issue is confined to the aspirations and treatment of people from Mexico seeking a better life in the United States. Our legislators are obliged to consider the aspirations and treatment of people from all over the world who have the same desire. We face the need to develop policies that offer hope to all.

An immigration reform scenario

Small-time contractor Howard Bashford, needing a few men to pour and finish a concrete-slab foundation, drove slowly around the block near a building products store, somewhere in greater Los Angeles.

At a corner, he spotted a knot of men in rough clothing, chatting together amiably. He pulled his pickup truck to the curb beside them, and they approached the truck expectantly.

"You guys need work?" he asked through the open, passenger-side window. "I can use four concrete finishers."

"Si, senor," chorused the men.

"Well," said Bashford, "you decide which of you should come with me."

There followed some earnest discussion among the workers, then four detached themselves from the rest and again approached the truck.

"We're your men," said one of them.

"OK," said Bashford, "but look, I can only pay a dollar below minimum wage."

"That's all right," said one of the group. "We'll take what we can get."

"Great," said Bashford, "but first I must ask you: Are you all documented?"

"Oh, si, si," they answered.

"Then you decided to 'come out of the shadows' after the U.S. Senate's 2006 immigration reform bill?" the contractor asked.

Again came the answer, "Si! Si!"

The spokesman explained, "We were more than willing to scrape together the $2,000 fine specified in the new law, and to help the Internal Revenue Service calculate our back taxes, because we so wanted legal status.

"Of course, this was difficult for us to do, earning $5 or $6 an hour for hard labor – and occasionally getting stiffed by employers (present company excepted, of course) – but what's a few thousand hard-earned dollars compared to the right to become legal and to get on the road to American citizenship?"

"And this is true even though you had to go to the 'back of the line' for citizenship?" Bashford asked.

"Naturally," the spokesman said. "Why just last week, I was telling mi madre back home in Mexico – I mean, my former home in Mexico – I was so determined to become an American citizen, I didn't mind that it would take me 11 years."

"Say, that's fine!" exclaimed Bashford. "I'm glad you still call your mama. Shows strong dedication to family."

"I didn't call her. I was there," said the worker. "I'm building a new house down there."

"Swell," said Bashford. "Mexico is a great place to vacation, and I'm sure your commitment to pledge allegiance to the United States – eventually – is solid.

"By the way, can you show me your new, INS-issued, biometric identity card?"

"Uh, I left mine home today," said the spokesman.

"So did I," said the second worker.

"Me too," said the third.

"Yo tambien," responded the fourth.

"Oh, that's OK," said the contractor. "I'll trust you this time. Climb into the back."

As the workers jumped into the bed of the pickup, Bashford muttered to himself, "Our Congress sure knows how to draw people out of the shadows."

---

A serious note regarding the topic above: In his uplifting biography of Ulysses S. Grant, Jean Edward Smith quotes the great general, who, having served in America's 1847 war with Mexico, wrote of that nation: "She has more poor and starving subjects who are willing and able to work than any country in the world. The rich keep down the poor with a hardness of heart that is incredible."

Naturally, given such injustice, Mexico experienced revolution upon coup upon revolution. It would be undergoing such throes even now, but for the salutary development of the lands ceded to the United States under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Successive Mexican governments have been exploiting the American welcome mat for generations, as it was easier to export its poverty-stricken masses than it was to reform. Vicente Fox (called a reformer by some) – like all his predecessors – recognizes what elimination of the U.S. border safety valve would mean for his country: A return to revolution.

President Bush, America's farm-state senators, and representatives of labor exploiters ranging from the fictitious Mr. Bashford to major industrialists, recognize that restricting the flow of illegals would mean higher labor costs. And deep down, the limousine-riding bleeding hearts who demand open borders recognize it would mean higher costs to them – for farm produce, for housing, for nannies and gardners.

So the Senate gets the message and passes 400-odd pages of legislation they call immigration reform, which will be about as effective in solving the border problem as a damp roll of cheap paper towels.

For both nations, it's a deal with the devil, and the United States is getting the short end while Mexico postpones its day of reckoning. Even now, Vicente Fox is having a Coke and a smile.

Group burns Mexican flag in front of consulate

Dozens of protestors and counter protestors showed up in front of Tucson’s Mexican Consulate as a Mexican flag was burned in a heated debate that saw tempers flare.

Border Guardians, a group formed along the Arizona border to speak out against the estimated thousands of illegal immigrants that enter the U.S. every day through the Tucson sector, led the protest.

Saudis plan to fence off border with chaos

SAUDI ARABIA has invited bids for the construction of a security fence along the entire length of its 900km (560mile) desert border with Iraq in a multimillion-pound project that will attract interest from British defence companies.

The barrier is part of a package to secure the Kingdom’s 6,500km of borders in an attempt to improve internal security and bolster its defences against external threats.

*But we can't do this?!

Here is a just a glimpse into the personal struggle that our family has endured over the last few years due to the influx of illegal immigrant criminals. I'm sure that many of you have suffered some of the same personal effects of these criminals. I would like to start this discussion by sharing my personal journey with you.....

I, (Kimberly) was hospitalized on Oct 15, 2004 with an acute appendix emergency. I had to have emergency surgery and was hospitalized for 4 days. While hospitalized, I was exposed to an illegal immigrant at the hospital who was infected with Tuberculosis (TB). This illegal immigrant was exposed to over 2000 patients and hospital staff.

Unfortunately, I was not notified of this deadly exposure for over 2 months. In Feb 2005 I received a letter from The Riverside County, CA Health Department officially notifying me that I had been exposed to the bacteria, and to IMMEDIATELY seek medical testing and attention.

I went to my family doctor who sadly confirmed that I had indeed been infected with the deadly Tuberculosis (TB) bacteria. I had to take medication for 9 months. We all hope that this infection will at least allow me to be able to see my children grow up.

Once the initial medical emergency and devastation feelings subsided, the ANGER set in!

We ALL need to do whatever we can, to STOP the illegal immigrant invasion of the United States Of America! This website is my small contribution, and I will work as hard as possible to make this National Anti-Illegal Immigrant protest rally a success!

Thank you so much for your time, contributions and LOVE for the United States Of America!

You are in my prayers, JustPiper.

This is an experiment. It should be interesting at a minimum, and a tune-up for many future occasions when on-the-spot citizens may provide information that is truly newsworthy.

It sure will be interesting to see what folks report

DomG said he'll be down there today also

I am not extremely worried about tomorrow, but the increasing militance of the protestors painting themselves as "pro-immigrant" makes me feel a lot different about going out of my door.

I do too. For the first time, I am a bit nervous driving around my town. Fortunately, the route I'm taking home this afternoon, I can avoid it.

I for one, cannot be too careful though. :)

Keeping focused on "things to do" is the best way, right?

Absoulutely! Stay informed, and stay the course!

Employers:
What Part of Illegal in Illegal Alien do YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

Federal Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)
"Any person who . . . encourages or induces an alien to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . . . residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . . for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . . . fined under title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."
IT'S AGAINST THE LAW!!!

I know it took a lot of your time to put all of this information together. Thanks for caring enough about America/Americans to do it, and thanks for the ping! :o)

[luvie]

Very interesting. Now...what do we do about it? Just sit back and watch America turn into a third-world country like the countries that these criminal immigrants "escaped" from...or fight back through the courts and our government. And who's willing to stand up and fight? We (the average "legal" American resident) have become so passive in the face of this influx that I don't know if we have the courage any more.
