......Ted Kennedy waited until the last minute to make the draft bill public....most senators will be in the dark when they debate it.....the text now circulating is astonishing. Just when it is becoming clear that overwhelming majorities of Americans - of all parties and all races - say they want stronger enforcement of our laws, the bill would take the country full speed in the opposite direction....legalizing most of the 12-20M illegal aliens via a new "Z visa." Each would pay $3,000 - only slightly more than the going rate to be smuggled into America......provisions buried in the fine print are far more outrageous.
1) To qualify for Z-visa amnesty, an illegal need only have a job (or be the parent, spouse, or child of someone with a job) and a scrap of paper suggesting he was in the country before Jan. 1 of this year. Any bank statement, pay stub, or similarly forgeable record will do.
2) Supporters of the bill call the Z visa "temporary" - neglecting to mention that it can be renewed indefinitely until the visa holder dies.....our country's first permanent temporary visa.
3) Many criminals and terrorists will find it easy to get a Z visa.
4) The bill effectively shuts down our immigration-court system.......The wheels of justice won't just turn slowly, they'll go in reverse.
5) The bill transforms the ICE from a law-enforcement agency into an amnesty-distribution center.
6) The bill even lets gang members get the amnesty..... as long as he simply signs a "renunciation of gang affiliation." He can keep his tattoos.
In Sen. Kennedy's America, "immigration enforcement" will become an oxymoron.....This bill isn't a "compromise" in any meaningful sense. It is a surrender.
Kris W. Kobach served as counsel to the US Attorney General, 2001-03.....chief adviser on immigration law.

COMMENTS: Our sap-happy, vote-hungry politicians are puckered up, sucking-up to, pandering and falling over themselves to give these invaders even more US government handouts---handouts that working class taxpayers will have to subsidize.
Illegals here get paid under the table, don't pay taxes, and send billions of US dollars back to their corrupt countries. The US system is hopelessly compromised by illegals using fraudulent documents to register and vote, get driver's licenses, mortgages, loans, free health care, education, and Social Security.
The Social Security system is being looted by illegals use multiple SS numbers---illegals even rent out SS cards numbers to get $3500 Earned Income Tax refunds Now illegals can collect US Social Security with multiple fraudulent SS cards, whereas American citizens have to work and contribute far longer than illegals before collecting.
A widely-used SS# scheme: the illegals name their anchor baby the same name as the parent. They obtain a valid SS# for the anchor baby; the parent uses it, no one checks beyond name-matching, if that.
CNN's Lou Dobbs reported illegals are stealing small childrens' SS# because a child doesn't use a number very often so it is near impossible to detect a stolen number. Dobbs also reported that US business owners give illegals SS# of a previous employee (it is not a felony to give away SS#s but it is a felony to use them).
Another twist: Now illegals don't have to use rented or fake SS# because they've just been granted the right to collect SS if they have worked a short time (44 months I believe), whereas we American citizens have to work for far longer before collecting.
Banks are sucking-up to butts with numerous giveaway ----everything from free money transfer to Mexico, lower interest loans, and so on. Illegals get loans; US citizens have to jump through hoops to get loans. The difference is when illegals default---Americans get socked with the costs.
And what is the impact of the US Totalization Agreement with Mexico on the US Social Security Trust Fund? The Totalization Agreement would in effect ship our Social Security system to Mexico. It would allow millions of illegal Mexican workers to draw billions of dollars from the US Social Security Trust Fund.The agreement between the U.S. and Mexico was signed in June 2004, and is awaiting GWB's signature.
The US provides Mexico with the nuclear umbrella--paid for by US taxpayers. Mexico has no welfare safety nets, health insurance, and no Social Security system.
Pretty soon US senior citizens will be on the Mexican "retirement system"---selling sticks of chewing gum on street corners.
How did someone with this much sense and clarity become a professor in the U of MO system?
More and more crimes that are being reported on the news are done by ILLEGALS!
On our local news:
Armed and dangerous gangs of juvenile ILLEGALS
reported on local news, Hijacked a car and took the
local Police on a car chase at 1:00AM!
Rapist, illegal ALIEN!
Home invasion, illegal alien!
The list is endless!
No more surrender to socialists!
I noticed the talking heads yesterday were not as certain now that this immigration bill will pass. I think they have all been bombarded with email, telephone calls and bloggers in opposition. When the Senate voicemail and email servers were filled on Friday, I think they got the message.
law and economics professors are typically quite conservative. Social sciences and humanities professors are quite liberal. That’s the way the disciplines work ;)
We’ll just have to give thanks that he did.
..but just a few minutes ago, on Fox & Friends, I heard Kay Bailey Hutchison promote this and say it was necessary!
For some reason, I thought she would be on the side of the United States citizens..
Silly me.
Thank you FReepers.
Thanks for the links.
...they touch on it, and immediately run off to another topic.
I know more about Anna Nicole, Joey Buttafuco and Britney Spears...(even though I mute as fast as I can)
I get the impression Fox is afraid to open their phone lines today...
..Instead, they're asking callers to respond to the question about Jimmy Carter running off at the mouth, again.
We should also thank the Senate bill for helping to stop the candidacy of John McCain by exposing his horrible temper and foul mouth. A special commendation is due Senator Cornyn for his effort.
LOL. Yeah-—nice take on your part.

The alien and their families who file applications for amnesty �shall not be detained, determined inadmissible, deported, or removed until their applications are finally adjudicated, unless they commit a future act that renders them ineligible with amnesty.� With tens of millions of applications, this amnesty, this provision essentially guarantees an illegal alien years of protection in the United States, even if they do not qualify for the amnesty." -- Jeff Sessions 2) Consultations Between United States And Mexican Authorities At... |

" Ole, amigos, let's go have a horchata and a churros
in the Senate tacoteria to celebrate.... Viva Mexico."
I remember thinking during the elder Bush's run against the Toon, "why doesn't he fight back?"
now.....I believe the Bushs are in bed with the leftist and this is the game plan....to get us into civil wars and open up our borders to illegals and to put us into so much debt because of the Medicare Prescription "plan" that we will beg for more govt involvement.......
I have grown to detest Bush and I just am not going to defend him anymore.....
LOL-——”adios, amigo.”
