The Senate bill is dangerously flawed, and its glaring ommissions WRT the securing of US ntl security, cannot ever serve as the basis for useful legislation.
By legalizing illegal aliens w/out shoring up law enforcement, we hand an engraved invitation to global Third Worlders----all of 'em salivating to ride the US gravy train.....each seperatist group conniving w/ a hidden agenda.
Amnesty recklessly opens the door wide for illiterate, low-skilled aliens born and bred in savage cultures, here only to suck up US benefits and take jobs away from Americans.
Third Worlders may, in fact, contribute their labor to the US but their loyalties are elsewhere----they have no intention of becoming Americanized....of participating as equals in American culture, our vast history, or preserving American values.
The amnesty bill amply demonstrates that this separatist population intends to usurp the US political system to advance their own hidden agenda.
You're right Liz - either our leaders are idiots - or they're being paid off or blackmailed... because what they're doing doesn't make any sense.
