If S. 1348 if revived, please vote NO on cloture.
Surely you won’t impose taxpaying citizens with the extraordinary costs of keeping illegal aliens in the country. It would be far better to use enforcement to cause the illegal workers to return to their home countries over time.
The Census Bureau finds that we have 23 million “less-educated” American adults who do not now have a job. Don’t pass S. 1348 and give away their jobs forever.
A Senator [Feinstein] responded to us with this: “...our borders are broken, our national security is compromised, and there is no feasible way to identify and deal with the 10 to 12 million undocumented people now living in the United States.”
How much simpler would it be then to get congress to agree on the following bills?:
Bill 1: Fund a fence, build a fence. (Think jobs and national security)
Bill 2: Boost border security. (More jobs and national security)
Bills 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...: No feasible way to “deal with 10 to 12 million undocumented people”?
Presumably that means, dealing with enforcement and deportation. If we can’t deal with that, then let’s simply stop dealing with them in these much more costly ways.
Stop dealing them jobs.
Stop dealing them licenses to drive.
Stop dealing them an education.
Stop dealing them medical care.
Stop dealing them places to live.
Stop dealing them banking, loans, and money transfers.
Stop releasing arrested aliens in our borders.
Stop publishing government ballots and assistance in foreign languages.
Stop dealing them amnesty.
Shortly thereafter, there won’t be 10 to 12 million undocumented people here to deal with.
And should any of these bills fail, at least the rest will accomplish something for borders and security, unlike the current bloated bill.
Also I see Kyl is peddling some enforcement amendment to get more from the GOP side to vote for his scam but it's like everything else, it will supposedly come after amnesty is immediately granted, which means we'll never see it. They really take us for fools.
I’m surprised you got a lucid answer from Senator Feinstein’s office. I wrote to her several times, and got replies back that referred to legislation or pending legislation totally different from the subject I had written on. Gave up on even trying with her!
