April 7, 2006 -- IMMIGRATION-BILL SURPRISES HOW do you slip legislative poison past a U.S. senator? Bury it on page 302 of a bill.

The Senate's Democratic and Republican leaders yesterday announced a compromise on an immigration bill - with some details still to be worked out. But details that may continue from the bill passed out of the Judiciary Committee should definitely be deal-breakers.

Like that surprise hidden on page 302 - which would replace the country's entire bench of experienced immigration judges with pro-immigration advocates.

With a few exceptions, today's immigration judges (who serve for life) are dedicated to enforcing the law, and they do a difficult job well. This bill forces all immigration judges to step down after serving seven years - and restricts replacements to attorneys with at least five years' experience practicing immigration law.

Be very stunned.

One of the posters says credit for the "replacing the judges" amendment goes to Kennedy's staff... ya think?

Anyone who doesn't know by now what a Commie Crusade the Dems are on, might as well sleep forever!

This is a WAKE UP!

[EternalVigilance]

Amazing, ain't it.

We're learning more and more what the stench was...

JP... did you read this nice stuff said about you here on this post!!! Girl, read this pat-on-the-back stuff!! You deserve the recognition for your hard work!!

[GOP Poet]

Thanks for the ping!

[TigersEye]

Or, you have a whole new life in front of you! :-)

Oh, God! Not another one! =8-O

Better yet, maybe you're due for a trip to Vegas!

Hmmmm. Do you think they have penny slots?

[texastoo]

In March, the General Accounting Office (GAO) issued a scathing report on the CIS' inability to effectively detect immigration fraud.

snip....

Does something about these appointments seem a little bit un-balanced?

This is Mexican corruption performed by G.W.Bush. Dr. Gonzalez leads an organization of more than 15,ooo federal and contract employees responsible for the accurate, efficient and secure processing of immigration benefits.

Then there is Mr. Aguilar who is charged with leading efforts to promote civic principles on which this nation was founded. We all witnessed Mexican mob rule last week.

Is it any wonder that we have so much fraud ?

[La Enchiladita]

And to think the President put his seal of approval on it without ever seeing it!

I hear he is saddened today...

[La Enchiladita]

I KNOW they have penny slots! LOL!

[La Enchiladita]

The cronyism and "who is working for who" is blazingly clear to me.

[EternalVigilance]

heh...

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Of course, the New York (Com)post had to "balance" this great op-ed with a pro-open borders screed, devoid of facts, from Linda Chavez.

Not surprising, still kind of disappointing.

[Paul Ross]

BUMP!

Thanks for posting this!

Prof. Kris Kobach did yeoman's work here on short notice to find and flag the hand-grenades they tried to slip through.

To me this is a very disturbing article. I have always understood "pork" and the need to hide it in some bills.
But this!!!!!!!!! Hiding the fact that they are changing the law regarding immigration judges. Then changing it so that only one person, the attorney general, has a voice in the appointment of judges and the requirements that they had to have 5 years experience as an immigration lawyer. This is the one world order dream act.

[Paul Ross]

I don't know which of these buried provisions was more dastardly...but that was certainly a red flag.

The Enemy Within are in the US Senate. In a more sane and just age, they would have been dragged into the street, beaten, tarred and feathered, and run out of town.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Senator Kobach??

:)

[kstewskis]

ooooooooooh those bastards!!

Thanks for the heads up. Damn they stink!
