The will of the people, we the people...wow what a concept!

You mean not will of Fox pres of mexico? You mean not will of illegal invaders? (major(s) ;)
But seriously, the thought that Senators or House Rep with a (R) after their names would try to shove a disgusting bill at we the people was just to much to take, or the fact that they were voting and supporting the democrat liberals was not to be believed.
To give foreign national INVADER CRIMINALS welfare benefits, a check for $4,700, social security benefits and the entire country was just to much to take.
To continue to allow them to keep flooding in right now without lifting a finger, to not prosecute their employers?
They have to be kidding.
What part of NO amnesty is difficult for them to grasp?
Or maybe we are just being ignored. Maddening!
Lets hope that they will NEVER pass a bill they are planning to today but pass a bill like HR4437 instead! Why? Because it should be a felony to break into this country it is a felony in other countries. It should be a felony to HIRE them!
Don't give the employers who have already hired millions of the invaders a free pass!
There are way to many H1B Visa's out there already, but to allow millions more cheap labor illiterates is outrageous.
Have all 300 million American taxpaying citizen workers suddenly left the country????
One of the (many) outrageous provisions of the Senate abomination is granting illegals "prevailing wage" in all areas of labor, which not even Americans are getting...thus bumping up their wage to a level higher than their benefactor co-workers. Is BigBusiness so shortsighted that they cannot see that CHEAP labor today becomes ULTRA-EXPENSIVE labor tomorrow under this sham? What benefits could they possibly expect to retain with bait-and-switch provisions like that?
The ridiculous amnesty of businesses who hire illegals by forgiving their taxes owed and mass-producing "Get Out of Jail Free" cards is jaw-droppingly assinine, as well. Not only are they not punished for breaking the law; they are rewarded. Same for the illegals.
We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Jeff Sessions - (R) Alabama - for combing through this monstrosity to expose the convoluted deceitfulness to the light of day. The Senate was hoping to rush this through under cover of darkness without giving Senators (or voters) any indication of what it truly contains. And yet with all its glaring hypocrisy and loopholes, it still has its staunch supporters. Why so many Americans support this outrageous pandering is beyond me.
As to the argument that "we can't simply deport tens of millions of people," here are my provisions:
No one but an American citizen is to receive food stamps, ever.
No one but an American citizen is to receive Medicare or Medicaid, ever.
No one but an American citizen is to receive taxpayer funded scholarships, ever.
No one but an American citizen is to receive taxpayer subsidized housing, ever.
No one but an American citizen is to receive Earned Income Credit, ever.
No one but an American citizen is to receive preferrential hiring treatment, ever.
No one but an American citizen is to receive a federal job, ever.
No one but an American citizen is to receive Constitutional protection, ever.
Dry up the gravy train and the exploitation experts will have to either go home or stay home.
