Buried deep in the colossal immigration bill that’s floating around Congress is an obscure little section that rewrites the current immigrant visa waiting list to allow millions to cut in front of the line via new categories of family-sponsored immigrants.
As if it weren’t bad enough that the measure, known as the Schumer-Rubio bill after the New York Democrat and Florida Republican pushing it, already offers 11 million illegal aliens instant amnesty. A nonpartisan group dedicated to researching legal and illegal immigration into the U.S., discovered the provision in the course of dissecting the monstrous legislation, which at last count spans 844 pages.
The group’s Director of Policy Studies, a former State Department foreign service officer, found this interesting little tidbit that the mainstream media is unlikely to mention; the bill expands an old visa criteria by adding three new categories of family-sponsored immigrants that will instantaneously be allowed into the U.S. They include single and married adult sons and daughters as well as siblings.
This will allow more than 1.4 million family visa applicants to bypass the current waiting list and be admitted immediately and will permit an additional 2.9 million visa hopefuls to enter the U.S. as temporary visitors. This is outrageous since we all saw what “temporary visitors” did on 9/11. It’s fair to assume that this can only weaken national security, which isn’t all that strong to begin with.
This expansion is found in Section 2308 of the legislation, on “V Non-immigrant Visas”. Originally, the V visa was created to allow the eligible kids and spouses of legal U.S. residents (green card holders) to enter the country if they had been waiting a minimum of three years. The change will reward a much larger group with immediate U.S. entry under a perk intended for children and spouses of those living in the U.S. legally.
Here’s another interesting detail; a chunk of the new immigrants can get work permits upon admission and will be processed similarly to immigrant visa applicants, with pro forma fingerprint and medical screenings. Those not entitled to a work permit can still stay in the U.S. up to 60 days a year and it’s likely many won’t leave. “Why should they? After all, they have already discovered that following the rules is not rewarded (many have been on the waiting list for several years) and overstaying is a better deal,” the immigration research group points out in its analysis.
Earlier in the week another well-known D.C. organization published a report asserting that the pending immigration legislation will cost American taxpayers an astounding $6.3 trillion . That’s because newly legalized immigrants would receive $9.4 trillion in government benefits—such as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment and workers’ compensation—and services while paying only $3.1 trillion in taxes.
Rubio cant know this.
They must have drugged him and slipped it in, or hypnosis.
Republicans always get bamboozled by Dems on stuff like this because they are so good and honest.
Dems are so diabolically tricky. Bush used to get fooled all the time by them, actually both of them.
Only one question, how come Rubio doesnt know this stuff NOW?
somebody needs to apprise Marco Rubio of this cause he's sure looking like Schmucky's fool.
For anyone interested:
Section 2308 starts on page 313 of the pdf “monstrous legislation” live link in the article.

Thank you. I keep saying this here over and over. There is no one TexMexicans, Chicanos and Puerto Ricans hate more than Cubans who have left the island.
You need to go back and reread my post. You somehow take the words “ethnic allegiance” and call it racist. I don’t care if he is Cuban or your wife is Cuban., he is a traitor, period.
“Ethnic allegiance” infers racial exclusivity.
That infers your zeitgeist.
You sound old and badly-read.
“My father-in-law still won’t talk about the bribes he had to pay on both sides of the border.”
We didn’t pay any bribes. We did tip one guy for expedited service even though he wasn’t the one who normally did that job. Run through another guy’s in-box and put the application on the top of the stack. Heh, heh, heh.
My f-i-l will admit that the biggest bribes involved getting onto...and then off of...the airplane.
Once he was onto free soil...well, the bribing didn’t end, but it slowed considerably.
“the Schumer/Rubio Invasion Bill.”
Perfect. Let’s all of us call it that.
Several of the people Willard hand picked to speak at his corination are traitors...
Any true American patriots were booted out and banned from attending ...
most of the ones who spoke are anti-life, for homosexual marriage, anti-immigration...
just like Willard is...
Ted Kennedy didn’t break it all by his lonesome, he had help, lots of help!
The same kind of “racial exclusivity” (as you infer) that
prompts a lead investigator on the case there who is also Puerto Rican to pre-emptively admonish the public?
You sound pompous and yes, I probably haven’t read the same books as you.
You listen to Jeff Rense, don’t you?
Too much of that stuff will make you paranoid, guy.
Actually, you presume way too much about me because you are so wrapped up in your own smug little intellectual world, apparently. No, I do not listen to Jeff Rense.
He’s very entertaining.
And besides, my world is not smug. My wife would never allow that.
Oh, did I mention she’s Cuban? I like pointing that out to bigots.
Yeah, you already pulled that card. It seems like you think it gives you some purchase in arguments about how race, ethnicity, etc. are asymmetrically treated by the government, media and pompous asses. The fact means nothing in the scheme of things.
