Immigration Bill Fragments To Get Third Chance (This Is like Freddy Kruger, Folks Alert)
Debbie Schlussel.com ^ | 06/29/2007 | Debbie Schlussel

As Mark Twain might say, reports of the Immigration Bill's death have been highly exaggerated.

The bill might have been killed for the second time, but today's Wall Street Journal reports that at least three key parts of it may still have life (one of which, the Dream Act, I've previously written about). Yes, it's like Freddy Kruger. The bill never completely dies. These, too, must be killed:


It ain't over 'til it's over.

How does this work?

Since these three “ideas” were incorporated in the amnesty bill, do they strip out all the other stuff (including ENFORCEMENT) and go forward with just these three things?

Were these three “ideas” separate bills and they still are? If this is the case, who are the sponsors.

Or, do we now have three brand news bill introduced. If so, who are the sponsors.

Sorry, I’m a little confused on how this works.

If we knew there was a beast lurking in the forest, just waiting for us to fall asleep so it could come and eat us, what would we do?

These Senators are just waiting there, just waiting, for us to fall asleep, so they can devour our nation’s future.

Tech worker visas, or how not to hire an American.

“I must have missed seeing the border security part???”

Exactly!

I read today (can’t find the article) 9.5 million Mexicans have been issued a *secure* card to enter the US within 25 miles of the border and others for travel anywhere in the US for up to 6 months.

Because of the massive traffic jams, only about 2% of these cards are even scanned.

Well, one thing is for sure...everytime they start this up again we get even more p****d off. And each time we pull a few more new people to the cause (I know I have, so I know others have) and our side gets bigger and stronger.

They still haven't figured out that the Sleeping Giant has awoken.

Well at least they’re off for 10 days (I think). We can recoup and come back with even bigger vengeance.

I’m thinking of having a land line installed or joining an internet fax website so I can send faxes easier.

That is a different Dream Act. The one above belongs to Senators Hatch and Kennedy. Mrs. Clinton’s “avoid the police” dream act also incldues the free tuition for illegals provision.

“Did we have a post here recently that showed how companies are purposefully trying to hire foreigners so they can pay them less?”

That is EXACTLY how it is done.

Some of us have been saying for years that there is no shortage of qualified engineers in this country, and there isn’t.

Just like with the low skilled manual labor type jobs, it’s about CHEAP labor.

Actually the AgJobs, Hi-Tech, and the Military service portion of the 'Dream', proposals look reasonable to me...

Unfortunately our Congress folks have a proven track record of lying about this issue - so I have a knee-jerk reaction to reject anything from their desks until the government actually implements some real actions to stem the tide of illegal immigration: e.g., build the wall; move more enforcement to the borders; shut-down 'sanctuary cities'; get rid of the anchor baby provision; stop providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens; aggressively penalize employers who utilize illegal labor; etc...

Do these things for a couple of years, and then lets talk about these reasonable proposals...

I don’t see anything about setting up an effective and mandatory system of checking ID’s, to get around the huge document fraud being perpetrated by illegals.

Or anything else that would lead to better enforcement. If we had enforcement, we wouldn’t have to deport 12 million illegals (Actually, its probably closer to 20 million.) If they couldn’t get jobs and couldn’t get freebies, they’d deport themselves.

I think you're spot on with that! I thank God for that!
