CORNYN HIGHLIGHTS HIS
IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL
AT SENATE HEARING
Senator John Cornyn joined his colleagues on the Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship subcommittee Thursday for a hearing to examine President Bush's immigration principles and much-needed immigration reform. During the hearing, chaired by Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), Cornyn discussed legislation he introduced in July, The Border Security and Immigration Reform Act (S.1387), which largely mirrors the President's immigration reform proposals.

Senator Sessions

"WE are sadly FAR away from where we need to be and a LONG way to go and we are not considering local law enforcement and INS is not doing the job reuqested of them and don't bother to call them! We need to tell him and the other's {{WHY is ICE opening a new office in Switzerland and not investing this money in local law enforcement it is called HOMELAND Security!}}

He said we're talking 'retrospective' amnesty but the 'prospective' amnesty is even worse! Welcome those who want to come here LEGALLY!

I thought Sessions was great!

FAIR:

His report card is good on Amnesty and FAIR says thanks!

Our Favorite Kyl!

He cited Cochise County and just today said he read 156 illegals were found in one Phoenix home! Alot of convincing BS from him.

He cited hospital costs, prisons and no funding, environment {cited the Wilderness article} about trash etc., the police picking up and INS will not fetch them,and these are all problems with illegals and the taxpayers are footing the bill!

He talked about the Rival Gang business {Coyotes} and the smuggling going on in Tucson and Phoenix has gotten way out of hand. That Phoenix homicide rate is 2/3 due to illegals!

He said they need to convince citizen's first that they are committed to enforcing the existing laws before we can even expect any of our proposals. Then he brought up a 3 day 50 mile Visa! Yes folks, like a bus pass that can be bought!

He said given the message of those citizens he's hearing from, that our laws are being easily broken and ignored by illegals and the government!

That local law enforcement, border agents are suffering because the laws should be enforced FIRST and Reform later.

He cited 6 million visa applications just sitting and making 10-12 illegals- legal.

FAIR's report card:

On amnesty they say thanks
On GW it is mixed:
