At a pre-Independence Day naturalization ceremony at the Treasury Department Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew used about one-third of his address to a roomful of newly sworn-in citizens to criticize the America’s immigration system and plug the current immigration legislation. According to prepared remarks, he told these newest Americans that "too many immigrants do not get a fair shot at the American dream. Too often, they are forced to live and work in the shadows." After singling out the stories of some of the new citizens and what America held for them, Lew continued [emphasis added]:
...You see, immigration is not just something that is consistent with our values. It is also consistent with growing our economy, increasing jobs, and expanding our middle class. Yet the troubling truth remains that too many immigrants do not get a fair shot at the American dream. Too often, they are forced to live and work in the shadows. This not only hurts them, it hurts America as well.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Only chance to stop the Amnesty bill is for the House not to consider any immigration related bill at all.
Michelle Bachman explained it. ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse.NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call congress.
Tell them to stop all Amnesty or immigration bills.they are all trojan horse bills. some will promise border security that will never be enforced anyway.
Bachmann explained it . The House will write a border security bill only . then in conference the senate will add the virus and then bring it back to the house. then the conservatives won’t vote for it but democrats will all vote for it so then they only need 10% of republicans to pass Amnesty and the virus that will destroy America. so any bill at all will be added the virus . so best thing is for Boner to not let any immigration bill at all come out of the House. that is the only hope . call boner and the members of the House.
Tom Tancredo echos what Michelle Bachmann said.

Add to my list about this horrible Amnesty bill.
1. Amnesty for 30 million illegals
2. those 30 million new citizens will be allowed to bring in their extended family members from the 3rd world = 50 million more NEW 3rd world immigrants.
3. Amnesty forever to any 3rd world liar who claims political asylum (any Muslim). Michelle Bachman said this alone could bring in another 50 million 3rd world immigrants. total count 130 million new democrat voters so they can turn the USA into a socialist state.
4. all these new citizens will have more rights than Americans. a $5000 penalty for employers if they hire An American over an amnestied 3rd world immigrant
5. democrats import All these 130 million new democrat voters from the 3rd world so that democrats can turn the USA into a socialist/communist state where they will give all your property and money to these immigrants
6. a massive increase in work visas for many many occupations in many fields ,even professional ones
7. The democrats know if they can destroy liberty in the USA then the rest of the world will follow. this is the plan to destroy liberty in the world and install communism worldwide
8. Massive amounts of $ to community organizations to register these immigrants as democrats
9 .A 1200 page obamacare like bill doling out billions to democrat organizations
10. big brother crap
There are many more but I don’t have time to post them all
what are these Senators thinking voting for 1200 pages of communist evil?
Why aren’t we out in the street protesting this bill or at least melting the phone lines?
0bama illegally overturned our Federal Immigration Laws in 2012 to garner the Hispanic vote, now he and his minions are citing a need for immigration reform. Go figure. Typically, 0bama creates a problem with a law, by changing the law as he sees fit. Saul Alinsky 101.
Is there ANYTHING these filthy SOB’s won’t politicise?
No legal immigrants have this problem.
Perhaps he's confused about the distinction between legal and illegal immigrants.
So let me see if I got this right he is talking to a room full of people, the majority of which probably followed every law and rule to legally enter the U.S. and become Citizens, and he is telling them they should reward CHEATERS.I bet that went over well.
I can’t wait to get these seditionists out of office (and in jail?).
Exactly!
These people have the manners of barbarians.
Drug dealers and burglars also work in the shadows. Do we see a connection here?
First it was the census...
You’re thinking of Timothy Geithner, the first term Treasury Secretary.
If you believe that, I have a white hut in Washington I'd like to sell you
Mr. Lew is still a miscreant.
This is the jerk who got $900,000 as a bonus from Citigroup right after the U.S. propped up their despicable loan sharking operation with $27.7 billion of OPM (Other People’s Money).
NOW he’s in the government, in charge of all the money!
Feel safer??
Absolutely right.
The plan is to pass this thing with procedural maneuvering and safe seat “Republicans”.
The base of the Republican party should threaten en masse de-registration and / or primary challenges.
We don’t have a “broken” immigration system. We have the most generous immigration regime of any nation on Earth. The U.S. takes in more people every year than all other nations combined.
Mr. Lew is full of crap.
