Nice catch.

Each of my two republican senators, Judd Gregg and Bob Smith, get D's. I am not suprised about Gregg as he is usually the point man for passing annual legislation to increase the number of immigrant visas. The multinational corporations are always lying and complaining that there aren't enough qualified people in America to fill all the high tech jobs. On the other hand, my republican congressman, Charlie Bass, who I frequently discount as a fool, received an A- grade.

The regulation in matters of immigration and naturalization is strictly a power of the federal government.

Yes, but they can delegate it to local authorities if they choose...and just this past week, they DID choose. Seems Florida local authorities now have the authority to arrest your precious illegal aliens.

The web address for this Americans for Better Immigration Report Card went straight into my Favorites folder. Every patriot should add it to their Favorites...

Done!

[WRhine]

Whoever you are [Vallandigham], whatever you motive, I salute your success in facilitating the best immigration discussion this forum has seen.

Big Bump on That.

[VA Advogado]

Nice catch.

I bump you because abortion is one thing we completely agree on. Scary to see so many willing or unwilling eugenicists on FR.

Section 245(i) -- the mini amnesty

Your immediate action is needed to fight a reinstatement of Section 245(i), a mini-amnesty for illegal aliens.

BACKGROUND

The White House at this moment is working all the levers of power to maneuver the Section 245i mini-amnesty through Congress before President Bush goes to Mexico on March 22. This would significantly increase permanent

U.S. population growth by creating a new wave of amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and the enticement of millions more to move here.It appears that the President apparently is willing to expend all the political capital necessary to have this amnesty in the form of a reinstatement of Section 245(i).

Section 245i allows illegal aliens who are on a waiting list to some year receive a green card as a relative or imported worker to pay a fine and be allowed to stay in this country legally until their turn arrives on the list. Why have a list, if you are going to allow anybody who jumps the line and comes here illegally to stay anyway?

Section 245i is a security risk because:

1. It allows hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to stay permanently without going through face-to-face interviews in our embassies in their own countries, cultures and languages.

2. It allows people to remain here for years -- 20-30 years in some cases -- as something just above an illegal alien until there name comes up on a waiting list for green cards.

3. It entices millions more foreign nationals to enter the country without screening to be illegal aliens here in hopes that they also will be rewarded for their lawbreaking.

And all of that shows how a Section 245 amnesty boosts U.S. population growth.

Ziglar admitted during his confirmation hearing that he knew nothing about the INS or immigration problems - he's a stooge.

[Native American Female Vet]

You read my mind!! I was singing that while I typed that out.

[HennepinPrisoner]

There's an error on that webpage....the link provided for Asa Hutchinson's record actually points to his brother Tim's record.

[sarcasm]

Opposition to illegal immigration equals support of eugenics - one of the most absurd statements that I have read here

[HennepinPrisoner]

But I win the booby prize - I have Hillary Clinton.

You poor thing...I thought I had it bad with Wellstone.

[Jennikins]

Don't forget that Ronald Reagan's vice president at that time was George Bush Senior. He might have had something to do with influencing Reagan to push through the amnesty bill. I remember very well George Bush Sr. speaking about The New World Order, and the Thousand Points of Light, as if they were the best things to ever happen to our country.

That's why I never voted for Bush Jr. I thought he would follow through, like father, like son. It looks like he is continuing his father's NWO goals.

[sarcasm]

Don't forget Schumer.

[GaConfed]

The fool, I hope to God he is a one-termer after this amnesty passes (I just know it will be).

He doesn't care if he is a one termer or not. Do you really think he is in office to serve the American People? Of course not. He's there to serve the nefarious ambitions of his father and the rest of the NWO elite thugs who are out to destroy America as we know it. He and his snotty Brahmin family and their pals will go to their fantasyland in Kennebunkport behind the big walls and rule the world. Texan my ass!! Carpetbagger is more like it.

Mike Savage of the Savage Nation is one guy who fights the elite globalists on immigration. The first time Bush tried his amnesty trial balloon Savage went on the radio telling his millions of listeners that if Bush got his way, both the country and the GOP would be history. Thousands of Savage listeners contacted their representatives and within no time the amnesty plan had to be put on ice for the time being. We all new this would be a temporary victory. Here they are at it again just six months after 9 11. If anybody had any doubts that the multinational globalists and the media elites have such total contempt for the American people this is the proof. I am sure they feel that Americans are too worried about supporting Bush in the war on terror to give him grief about making citizens out of illegals. The multinational globalists told Bush this is where you are gonna use your 80 approval rating capital. They won't let Bush use his capital on pushing his energy production plan through congress.. no of course not.. They oppose it..

[VA Advogado]

Yep. However, other than what the feds allow, the states are as impotent in regulating immigration as Twodees or the Marine professor are in playing constitutionalist.

[VA Advogado]

one of the most absurd statements that I have read here

Perhaps someday you'll learn something here rather than starting that tiny little spot on your computer screen that has your screenname.

[Marine Inspector]

By the way, I posted that law yesterday.

By the way, You did not post this yesterday (at least not on this thread).

Thats a federal law that enlists state law enforcement in apprehending those in violation of federal law. Try again HEEROO. The regulation in matters of immigration and naturalization is strictly a power of the federal government.

In making Immigration laws, yes, but in enforcing immigration laws, no.

Your argument was the enforcement of immigration laws. There is nothing in the US Constitution that prohibits the States from enforcing immigration laws. The states could close down their borders with Mexico and Canada if they wanted to, the protection of the state border is in the hands of the states.

[Twodees]

That doesn't back your claim, son. Here's the exact language which you're hoping to pass off as what you claimed:

"To establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States."

That doesn't even come close to establishing that the federal government is empowered by the Constitution to have sole control of immigration. In fact, the word "immigration" isn't even mentioned in the section you cited.

I'm sure that you can find the federal legislation which claims this power for the federal government, but you claimed that it was in the Constitution. You would have made a better case by citing the Jurists' Amendment with its language on citizenship and naturalization.

Sorry, boy. You've run into someone who has not only read the document but who didn't even have to get out his copy to refute what you just claimed. Maybe you have read the Constitution, but you obviously disagree with its provisions.
