Rohrbacher on CSPAN said the triggers don’t matter — they’re the lipstick on the pig. It’s up to the Director of Homeland Security to decide whether the triggers have been sufficiently achieved, which is just one of many loopholes that make the bill far worse than many people suspect. After hearing the Congressman speak tonight, it appears this bill is intentionally crafted to encourage wave after wave of illegal immigrants from all parts of the world. Apparently, the bill is written to deceive the American people, which is why Reid tried to push it through so quickly. I imagine the more Sessions, Rohrbacher and others who are on the side of decency explain the bill’s loopholes and dire implications for the middle class, the more Americans will turn their ire on our President, the bill’s authors and our Director of Homeland Security. They might even conclude they’re all traitors. I hope CSPAN will rerun Rohrbacher’s presentation. It was remarkably chilling.

Rohrbacher is a straight shooter, and I would take his word for it in a minute. It is lipstock on the wrong end of the pig. The more I read, the worse it gets. I am appalled, for instance, that American taxpayers would have to pay for legal representation for any illegal who is rejected for, say, having committed a felony or two.

As for the waves of immigrants, Kennedy set that in motion in 1965 and has written a bill to increase the volumn of the waves. Here's what Kennedy said when pushing for the 1965 bill to be passed: "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."
