20 Worst Loopholes in the Senate Immigration Bill - From Senator Jeff Sessions

I would remind Mr. Kaplan that the “administration” has lost its grip on the conservative pulse. The President’s popularity is a clear indication of this fact. The mere fact that the RNC’s donations from “small doners” is down 40% (although, God knows, the alternative is even worse), you would think, would give them some sort of clue.

They, stupidly and with reinforcement from the NYSlimes, still believe Republicans lost the last election because of the war in Iraq. I think “immigration” and “rampant spending” were the real reasons.

This is nauseating and infuriating. Can someone tell me again why we have spent a half a trillion dollars and lost 4,000 American soldiers to secure Iraq while having this horrow shoved down our throats?

BTW, has that quisling Bush shown his face in public since he called us anti-American fear-mongers? You would think if he just "misspoke" he would be rushing to the microphone to clarify himself to his former supporters.

horrow = horror

Oh Shiite!

Why? Why is this getting rammed down our throats?

As soon as the current 20 million are legal, why would they continue working for slave wages? “Big business” who want low wages aren’t going to get them this way.

Why would they continue to work at all?

“Many of the loopholes are indicative of a desire not to have the system work.”

[Truth29]

The contradictory provisions, deliberately impossible deadlines and funding for even more legal challenge procedures virtually guarantee a system that will collapse of its own weight. The goal of effectively open borders will be achieved while piously maintaining that the bill strengthens border controls.

The continued devaluation of US citizenship is also surreal. In many ways, being an illegal is more advantageous than being either a citizen or someone who has been trying to come into the US legally.

Kudos to Senator Sessions and his staff for actually reading the bill! I seriously doubt if McPain has done the same.

How nice Jeff Sessions did his homework on this bill, I am sure that what he says is accurate.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Interesting analysis.

I envision the bill in its entirety as one giant loophole.

[TADSLOS]

BUMP!

[panthermom]

I agree with you. This whole thing is literally making me ill. We are in serious trouble if these senators think this is the best we can come up with.

Sending our family members to fight in Iraq, while here at home our own goverment is giving the country away. At the rate we’re going my kids have NO future, NONE. Absolutely sickening.

Build the fence, enforce the laws already on the books. The only bill they should be working on is one to get rid of the anchor babies. Thats it.
