Thursday, June 07, 2007 Senator Sessions Releases List of 20 Loopholes in the Senate Immigration Bill
U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) released a list of 20 loopholes in the comprehensive immigration bill today which reveals that the bill is fatally flawed and will not establish a functioning immigration system in the future.
The list of loopholes includes flaws effecting border security, chain-migration and assimilation policies. The list exposes the lack of serious attention given to ensuring that the legislation fixes Americas failed immigration system.
I am deeply concerned about the numerous loopholes we have found in this legislation. They are more than technical errors, but rather symptoms of a fundamentally flawed piece of legislation that stands no chance of actually fixing our broken immigration system, Sessions said. Many of the loopholes are indicative of a desire not to have the system work.
For example, one loophole in the enforcement trigger fails to require the U.S. VISIT system the biometric border check-in/check-out system established by Congress in 1996, but never implemented to be fully functioning before new worker or amnesty programs begin. Without the system in place, the U.S. has no method of ensuring that workers and their families do not overstay their visas.

Why not go? There probably won’t be a better opportunity to support Sessions and then tell the Mexican residing in the White House what you think of him!
I know some of those people, where do you think I get these crazy ideas??
There is not one thing in the bill that you could laughingly call enforcement that doesn't have a waiver.I mean the amendment they pass that gave amnesty to all the crooks, ms13, etc. had a sentence in it that said no information obtained during the z visa(shamnesty) process could be given to or used by law enforcement of any kind including the IRS.
I agree, Mr Sessions has a pair! Strut buddy strut!
This week, we will vote on cloture and final passage of a comprehensive bill that will strengthen border security, bring the 12 million undocumented Americans out of the shadows, and keep our economy strong. In the days ahead, we will work to improve the bill to protect and strengthen family ties while improving the structure of the temporary-worker program.
Glad to be back! Missed you too!
Yup. I heard on the radio today...he'll wallop Figures.
CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.
Thank God for Senator Sessions....one of very few Senators who care about this country and our people.
I know and was shocked to learn it this afternoon while on the phone. Our border security would be worse not better with this bill and we are supposed to roll over and say we want it because the President says it is a good bill.
Excuse me but the devil really is in the details of this travesty and the details scare a lot of us.
Build the fence, put up a virtual fence with techolnology and then start rounding up and deporting because if you deport now they will be back in less than 24 hours. They don’t even keep track of the students on visas which need to be tracked as much as anyone. I am also sick and tired ALL illegals from ALL different countries not just from Mexico. I want them all accounted for. Here illegally they are breaking the law including students whose visas have expired.
I just copied this post and am emailing it to everybody I know. If I, as a LEGAL citizen, have to pay taxes, and am not eligible for out of state tuition, then a d*** lawbreaker shouldn’t be. What — break the law and get rewarded?
Also going to email my congressmen again (did so once today).
“Only 20? He must have only gotten through the first 20 pages or so. Hell probably be adding 20 more at least in the coming days.”
He didn’t even get to the lack of enforcement against those who decide to not even bother with the zvisa. Since I think that is over 50% of the illegals, now you will have illegals who are made legal (who will never pat the fine), Plus illegals who won’t even bother to get a zvisa and will therefore be “Illegal Illegals!!”
Wow, I just made a funny. Actually they would be Defacto Legal Illegal Illegals - (illegal when they crossed the border, double illegal when they ignore the zvisa, but defacto legal because of the zvisa umbrella).
Republicans have been nice for too long. Remember that “evil can happen when good men do nothing.” The greater good can come from FReeping the President than from not embarassing Sen. Sessions. The President wants to destroy our country. There is no greater reason for a FReep.
Mail that sentence to Jay!
A true hero and patriot in my book.
God bless American Patriots such as Sen. Jeff Sessions!
Sen. Sessions ‘tells it like it is’ when he’s speaking on the Senate floor. He cares about our country.
God bless him. I will donate to his reelection campaign even tho I’m not from his state.....would love to trade Martinez for Sessions!
Sen. Sessions for VP ?
Amen! God bless him.
OMG-—this is unbelievable—what has happened to this president?
