New immigration bill has more waivers and exceptions per page than Obamacare
The Daily Caller ^ | May 2, 2013 | Neil Munro

Posted on 05/02/2013 10:46:04 AM PDT by chicagolady

The Senate’s “Gang of Eight” has released a new version of the immigration bill that contains 999 references to waivers, exemptions and political discretion.

The revised 867-page bill contains multiple changes from the first 844-page version, released April 18, but Democrats have not announced any delay to the committee review of the complex bill that begins next week.

The bill includes roughly 1.14 waivers or exemptions per page. By comparison, the 2,409-page Obamacare law includes 0.78 waivers and exemptions per page.

The Obamacare law contains 1,882 mentions of “unless,” “notwithstanding,” “except,” “exempt,” “waivers,” “discretion” and “may.” “Waiver” is mentioned 209 times in the law.

The new draft of the immigration bill — which will allow officials much control over the supply and cost of labor needed by American companies — has 85 mentions of “unless,” 150 uses of “except,” 18 inclusions of “exempt,” 92 mentions of “waiver,” 42 offers of “discretion,” 47 use of “notwithstanding” and 618 uses of “may” in the 876-page bill.

They can tell you all they want how this bill is going to prevent those they grant legal status to from accessing welfare programs, but it’s a lie and they know it. All it’s going to take is one liberal judge to say they can’t do it and it’s done. Obama will not lift a finger to stop it.

WELL! Rubio must not have ANY idea of this!!! There they go, trying to pull a fast one on our little Marco. He’s a WONDERFUL conservative...Rush Limbaugh said so, so it MUST be so!!!

Yeah, I’m sick of people making excuses for this crappola, incuding RUBIO AND RUSH! Lies, corruption, collusion, using SPLC talking points, promoting radical islam, you name it...it’s OKAY if there is an ‘R’ beside the quisling’s name.
Cult of personality is disgusting on the left and it’s disgusting on the right!

Obviously you are an Obama supporter like me who hates your country. The GOP is not capable of doing anything wrong and you must support them because this is a nuanced issue and will help our economy grow and stuff...

“It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is today, can guess what it will be tomorrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?”
— James Madison, Federalist Papers No. 62.

“[With the decline of society] begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia [war of all against all], which some philosophers observing to be so general
in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.”
—Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:40

“If once they [”our people”] become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves.”
— Thomas Jefferson, letter from Paris, 1787

I bet Rubio will be avoiding interviews for a while, at least real ones. He kept on saying he would reject a bill if.....

I like this part:
The Obamacare law contains 1,882 mentions of “unless,” “notwithstanding,” “except,” “exempt,” “waivers,” “discretion” and “may.” “Waiver” is mentioned 209 times in the law.”

We have nothing to worry about because it will be up to Obama’s picks to grant the waivers and we know how helpful he was with AZ illegals.

Protesters Question Clergyman’s Loyalty
At Archbishop Jose Gomez Residence

Dozens of protesters have shown up at Archbishop of Los Angelus Jose Gomez residence many carrying American flags and bearing signs questioning his loyalty to the US not Mexico along with many signs demanding equal rights for American citizens in Mexico.

The protest was apparently triggered by the clerics decision to push forward with his predecessors decision the disgraced Cardinal Mahoney with offering amnesty thus citizenship to Mexicans crossing the border illegally while thousands of Americans in Mexico suffer under 2nd class citizenship unable to own property and suffer indignitys let alone participate in Mexican elections while living there in Mexico.

A spokeswoman for the group, Harriet Hildegarden insisted her group consists of Catholics loyal to the church. “We will be protesting at other locations where prominent clergy of the church have sided with the Obama regime”Hildy” claims the church is supporting the democrat party which denied God at their convention and declared what she claims is war on the Catholics but would collude with i t on many issues including “amnesty” .

When asked if she may be denied communion for her activities her reply was;

“Well it’s been known that when that happens quicker when clerics get personally attacked than when some politican challanges the church on the grounds of faith and morals” . “ You didn’t hear much from them (the bishops) about the Gosnell baby murderer trial. Or, the changing of the age of consent for minor girls from 18 to 15 by decree. Now that that the Gosnell trial is winding up perhaps the bishops might call a “conference” next year. But they sure acted swiftly when it comes to allowing this country resigning US soverign rights for new parishioners. Maybe the’ll support the Mexican consent laws which begin at the age of 12 while they’re at it.”

And, don’t forget the part that deposits MILLIONS into leftist/pro-Amnesty slush funds like La Raza, etc.
