Too many tv comedians joke about the “Crips” and the “Bloods,” rival gangs in Southern California. But for thousands of Americans, street gangs are a threatening reality. As Central Americans migrate to the United States in great numbers, they bring with them some of the world’s most brutal gangs -- including the notorious and rapidly growing MS-13’s (Mara Salvatrucha), an extremely violent group that boasts close to 10,000 members in over 33 US states.
One of the worst consequences of illegal immigration is the crime some immigrants perpetrate. Illegal alien gang members commit violence across the country -- even in places like Boise and Omaha. They seep into the country, creating cross-state connections rooted in nearly unbreakable, blood-bathed bonds. The statistics show that it’s a huge problem in California and several southwestern states. Now, Congress and President Bush are preparing to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants without providing adequate safeguards against that amnesty being granted to gang-bangers such as MS-13 members.
The Senate Immigration Bill essentially encourages an increase of gang activity in America. In Section 601 (g) (2), it states that gang members would be eligible to receive amnesty if they sign a statement that renounces their gang membership. Hmm. How many spies, mafiosi, or terrorists would hesitate to lie and renounce their allegiances in order to gain legal status in America?
Sen. John Cornyn (R.-Tex.), the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee’s Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship subcommittee, attempted to bypass this particular provision, as well as other careless inclusions in the immigration bill. His amendment request was pushed back for a vote until after this week’s congressional recess. Press Secretary Brian Walsh said that decision was probably made “because that’s a pretty difficult issue to defend to your constituents.”

These politicians representing the illegal alien gang bangers, are trying to gang rape the legal American citizens with this horrendous bill.
“’The Senate Immigration Bill essentially encourages an increase of gang activity in America. In Section 601 (g) (2), it states that gang members would be eligible to receive amnesty if they sign a statement that renounces their gang membership’”
Hey, no problemo mon! Gimme your steenkin pen, I’ll sign right now!
There, now, no more gang, easy Si?
Now gimme your car keys and your wallet, and leave your daughter in the car, we’ll take good care of her for you.
Adios idiota!!
All across the fruited plains ?
There was a thread on it about a week ago. Check Banglist
Everywhere.
Under Section 601(g)(2) of the bill, illegal-alien gang members would be eligible for amnesty merely by signing a “renunciation of gang affiliation.” This massive loophole would make it so easy for illegal aliens to stay in the country that deporting gang members would no longer be a priority.
Gang-bangers and other criminals, who have been ordered to leave the United States by an immigration judge but defy the ruling, are called absconders. The Senate bill first appears to deny amnesty to absconders in Section 601(d)(1)(B). But Section 601(d)(1)(I) permits U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to grant an absconder a Z visa anyway if he can show that being forced to leave the United States “would result in extreme hardship” to the alien, his spouse, parent or child. The “hardship” provision creates a loophole you can drive a truck through — virtually guaranteeing that this class of fugitive aliens can remain in the United States. As we went to press, Sen. John Cornyn was preparing to offer an amendment to strip from the bill amnesty for absconders and violent gang members.

Does anyone have a link to the text of the bill?
bttt
Rebump.
And the good news just keeps on a comin...
1- WHO ACTUALLY wrote this bill?
2- WHO (that supports it) has ACTUALLY READ this bill?
Keep calling you Senators.
Senator Kennedy’s staffers wrote the bill.
You know, I heard that last night on Levin’s show- and I don’t disbelieve it. Nonetheless- it seems yet one more shock in this altogether shocking bill that with ALL the discussion about the bipartisanship support of the bill- that only one senator’s staff actually WROTE the bill.
I have called em ALL- every day:)
