From Don Feder today: ten top reasons to kiss America good-bye if this tar baby ever gets detonated.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Of the 6 terrorists recently arrested for plotting an attack on Fort Dix, three were in the country illegally for at least 20 years. The standard argument for our Iraq intervention is that if we don't fight them (Al Qaeda, et al) there, we'll have to fight them here. Whatever happens in Iraq, thanks to Comprehensive Immigration Reform, we'll have plenty of chances to fight them here too.

Uh, Feder, I guess you missed the section of the bill where Z-visa data would be off-limits to law enforcement.

The PINHEAD OF THE DAY AWARD...

Among other benefits, children of the newly legalized will get public school educations worth $9,600 a piece, on average.

The only snippet with which I disagree. Public school education may cost $9600 per student, but the true worth cannot be evaluated unless there are other options beyond paying twice (same taxes for a public school plus tuition for an alternative).

They’re just doing the jobs that Californians don’t want to do: Washing and parking their own cars, amongst other things like cooking their own meals.

Abu Illegal gets a Stay Here Card if nothing can be found on him. Wait - that's right - the 19 9/11 terrorists had no criminal records, either. They were clean as a whistle. And guess who mailed them visa renewals AFTER 9/11 happened.

Think Senator Sessions said last nite after vote that it’s been projected that illegal immigration would only be reduced by 25% if this bill went thru...

Like I’ve said before - I’m against the immigration bill of 2015 too.

I fear much of the sarcasm in this piece will go right over the heads of some readers.

[Publius6961]

Wow!
So much good information, so little time.

Save for future reference and more reaction later.

It's really hard to pick my favorite reasons...
My two favorites of the moment:

6. It's a great way to grow the welfare state - Amnestied illegals are immediately eligible for Medicaid and nearly 60 other welfare programs.

In testimony before Congress, T. Willard Fair (president of the Urban League of Greater Miami) recalled that back in 1965, Ted Kennedy, architect of that year's comprehensive immigration reform, assured us: "The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not cause Americans workers to lose their jobs." (And we were dumb enough to believe him!)

I must read more carefully, I don't remember this all-time classic...

Last time, Congress set up elaborate systems to assure application of our immigration laws and compliance, then passed another law that made it illegal to use those methods!

Fool me once shame on you!
Fool me twice, shame on you!
Fool me three times...

...HEY! wait a minute...

Speaking of which, #4 is a classic...

LOL!

Guys, read it carefully. It’s a satire. ;)

Among other benefits, children of the newly legalized will get public school educations worth $9,600 a piece, on average.

$9,600 annually for up to twelve years, plus access to the decaying college financial aid system. Coupled with affirmative action, U.S. citizens, legal immigrants, and international students will be forced to subsidize the college educations of these amnestied children (their competitors).

What a government we have. This shamnesty is Congress' way of flipping the bird to all law-abiding U.S. citizens, immigrants, and foreign visitors.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Satire ping.

Trent Lott yesterday threatened to 'send Congress home.'

Please do Trent. Please do.
