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.

Bump for later.
If you don't know what RINO means, then you're naive.
I know what RINO means.
The RINO's aren't the only repub carpetbaggers who are traitors.
Have you read this article? It is an eye opener of the powers that be regarding our immigration policies. Totally unreal!!!!!!!!!And very disturbing!!!!!!

"There should be a law that states no new legislation should be more than 10 pages long and ONLY refer to the item at issue"
And who will pass it? Congress? BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!
Very impressive post!
"I'm not sure why I, as a limited-government conservative, wouldn't support measures which pass decision-making down to the states. In general we like to do this, and only get involved when a state law could impact other states adversely (like gay marriage). What would you all say to assuage my guilt on this matter?"
We are FEDERALLY funding these schools via subsidies through student loans and grants. Schools may not ban ROTC recruiters from campus as a result of their subsidy by the federal government, because it makes sense that if the fed is paying for a school it ought to reciprocally be accessible to them. Why would it be inappropriate to say that schools must also comply with other federal law (i.e., not discriminating against Americans by letting illegals evade restrictions Americans can't)? I concur that there is a degree of federal encroachment, but so long as there are student loans already encroaching on state prerogatives, there should be a responsibility on the part of the schools to meet federal standards.
How was that? Feel any better?
Thanks LE!
Rotten bastards...
Durbin and people like him should be tarred and feathered.
This is a very disturbing article in that these kinds of hidden catastrophes occur in nearly all legislation.
We need a media and press that is on the side of the American people, not the globalists, who will help to publish this information so everyone can know the deceits of Washington and Congress.
We need to repeal the 1996 telecommunications act so that ownership of our media becomes domestic again, and not international. The internationalists have no love of American freedom and they have used this devastating Act to buy our media outlets and use them to propogandize against us.
Sickening beyond belief. The Rats and RINOs who tried to pass off this crap should be horsewhipped.
Perhaps.
But most likely, they'll merely get reelected.
And they know it.
They figure they OWN the votes of "the base" -- they know that if people get too "uppity", all they have to do is go, "Boo! What are you gonna do, elect Hillary?" -- and "the base" will line up, hold their noses, and once again, vote "R".
The game is SO rigged...
Show of hands -- does anyone REALLY believe that any illegal alien will be required to pay a $2000 fine before being given the goods (citizenship)?
I'm betting that what'll happen is that when they finally manage to finish fine-tuning this turd, and shoving it down our throats, there'll be a little clause buried on page 435 saying that they "have" to pay the $2,000 fine, "or, upon affirmation of economic hardship, promise to complete an equivalent amount of public service."
Notice the abundant weasel-words, i.e., they won't need to PROVE "economic hardship" -- they will only have to make a statement of "affirmation" (i.e., they have to SAY so). And, they won't need to do any "public service" -- they will merely need to "promise" to do it. And, of course, note the total absence of any enforcement to ensure that they perform it -- or, penalty if they don't.
THIS is how the Rape of America will be culminated. NWIH are we going to "coerce" our "valued guests" to "suffer economic harship". Hell, if right f'n now, they came to MY door and said "Pay $6,000 for your family, or leave the country", I'd have to ask for directions to the bus station. And I was born here nearly 60 years ago. Of course, MY income is, um, "impinged" by having to finance our "valued guests".
Speaking of which, how'd y'all like that presto-chango? Wasn't it amazing the way one minute, we're talking about a "guest worker plan", so that Mexicans can come here to pick lettuce, and then GO HOME -- and the next minute, we are talking about an expedited CITIZENSHIP program for tens of millions of illegal aliens?
Wow.
If nothing else, we now know what it was really about from the start. "Guest workers" had nothing to do with it. That was just the pretext used, to allow them to get "the issue" front and center, so that they could jam this abortion of a "reform" up our collective bung.
Goodbye, America.
¡Hola Amexica!
Es Verdad!!
We somehow need to unrig it. It looks like we need to get these bills and divide the pages and research them ourselves. I have faith that we can get this news out to the American people. Actually, this is an old Clinton ploy as this was released on a Friday. Do any of you think this article had anything to do with the cloture vote today?
They had lots of practice. Ever hear of "The Patriot Act"?
For that gem, they didn't even bother to debate, let alone read it! They just took it, and voted it in, just like that.
Contrast this with the painfully protracted "debate" over the stuff regarding Terri Schindler. While dragging it out, arguing over every jot and tittle -- crossing their fingers and hoping she'd just die already to let them off the hook -- they gave us nauseatingly sanctimonious crap about how they had to go over every aspect of it with a fine-toothed comb, because they had an obligation to protect the Constitution.
I swear, a bigger, bolder, and more arrogant lot of hypocrites the world has never seen. And we call them "leaders", feh!
Looks like that would be "us", n'est ce pas?
As to the founders and the generations of heros who bled and died to preserve the republic, I guess we can just consider them as "pre-hung."
Oh, swinging in the next noose next to us... that's the Constitution.
Don't kid yourself. It's just a "strategic retreat". They'll be back, once they perceive that the heat's off, and then they'll finish the job. They have NO intention of letting this one slip by.
They'll do with this exactly what they did with "Know Your Customer", "Total Information Awareness", and countless other atrocities that moved "We The People" to stand up and said "NO!" They will bide their time, wait until things "cool down", and then quietly slip it in when no one's looking -- with a different title, and maybe as an amendment, buried deep in some unrelated bill - in a "boring" part that no one will read, until it's too late.
It's how sausage is made.
