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.

The Senate bill does nothing to address this problem - while throwing a massive new load on the bureaucracy. A new amnesty will almost certainly ensure that more terrorists gain the legal right to walk our streets.
They will no doubt show their appreciation by attacking innocent Americans.
The GOP better get on the stick and get real about criminals (yeah, that's what people are called when they break our laws) coming across the border...
Thank you EM! I know I saw a few and have been teary-eyed all day
LOL it has been we won and so did the Cubbies
Vincente!
He can just think of it as smirk-removal therapy.
That is CORRECT! Too bad we live in post-PC America.
Living off of the system?
"Now, how many other "little" unnoticed things get stuck in 500 + page "bills" to support just one client. Er, lobbyist."
Quite scary to even contemplate..
Really? I was in Reno and Carson city in the mid-eighties and I gave a nickel slot a real workout. I could have walked away with almost a hundred bucks at one point...but nooooooooo. ; )
Diamond Jim I ain't. Can ya tell? I could spend all night on a penny slot machine. :)
I have to agree with everything you're saying in each post here. Disgusting bass turds.
Ahem! (loosening collar) No. Not a bit! : )
This article exposes the bill for the piece of trash that it was. This needs to be seen everywhere, thanks for posting it.
Well, in all fairness that was a few years ago when I lived at The Canteen ;)
Good point!
I had forgotten how the (democrats) forced those little changes on the repubbies, all the while pretending to "let it pass" = So the repubbies would get blamed for falling to pressure from "the religious right" .
Of course! One of the 5 kids is ill with cancer [unless it's a lie to get out of work] and the state will bear the cost. Her parents force her to work while they stay home and do nothing. She is totally irresponsible and cannot keep a job which is her way of getting out of working. They remind me of gypsies. They find places where many of them can live in one place and spread out from there making neighborhoods uninhabitable for others.
Thankfully I live in a small town outside of a large town so the problem is not severe here. The news from the larger town is horrible. Something needs to be done and NOW not in months or years. But, we know that, our government sadly does not! BTW these are not illegal.....it's a way of life in mexico to live this way and that way is now here.
The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists' abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees. Here's an interesting new thread on new legal progress that finally emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the neighborly thing to do?
Unbelievable treason coming from the Senate. Another thing the Senators "forgot" to tell the American people that if amnesty is given, taxpayers will pay 12 billion beyond the taxes we are paying now for the first ten years after citizenship is given, and the amount will go much higher after that.
American politicians who wrote this legislation must be getting one heck of a pay off from the enemies of our country.
One of my top 5!
Thanks for the VERY IMPORTANT ping. Thanks. BTTT!
