From a very smart friend named Joe, maybe he has the reason for why they are doing what they are doing:

In previous weeks I've tried to figure out "Why this mad dash"? Why this near insane rush to railroad amnesty upon us while dismissing any thought towards Border Security? I have commented similarly before . . . but with recent actions of the Senate and the President . . . One must consider . . .

It is probably a combination of things. But I go back to the RICO ACT. The U.S. Supreme Court very recently heard a case appealed by Mohawk Carpets. A lower court and a Federal Appeals Court have both ruled in the past two years that the RICO Act applies to companies who employ illegal aliens.

The Supreme Court could rule that the Federal Appeals Court ruling stands and if it does -- ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE.

RICO statutes were devised to prosecute Mafia type operations for being a 'continuing criminal enterprise'. It worked well, establishing that a series of repeated and concerted actions to break the law to be a criminal enterprise.

If the Supreme Court holds that RICO applies to employers of illegal aliens, any such employer would be open to huge treble damages into the many millions of dollars to those claimed to be harmed by the illegal actions. This would bankrupt many large corporations and send some Executives to prison

RICO applied in illegal alien cases would be a greater legal hammer than was found in the tobacco lawsuits.

The Supreme Court could rule tomorrow - next week or next fall. The Senate 'Immigration' bill contains language providing 'amnesty' for prior acts by employers of illegal aliens.

Also, employment of illegal aliens would end overnight if the Supreme Court uphold the appeals court decision. Thus the need for 'legal' immigrant employees in large numbers - a.k.a. Amnesty in all its various forms.

Illegal Alien Employer PAC money could be buying - with very big money - the current RUSH to Amnesty for all concerned.

Something to think about . . .

Joe

SO maybe we should start appealing to the Supreme Court?!
Maybe THEY will listen?!
