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.

Imagine if Janet Reno would be the AG in control.
E-mailed this to Tancredo this am
What a sneaky, underhanded stunt. This is going ASAP to my representatives.
BTTT!!!
She was hardly ever even sober.
Gonzales is a catastrophy an dthi sprobably started under Reno, but Gonzales and Bush have made it even worse instead of standing up for America and American principles.
Well, they'd probably at least charge them for coming over the border and blow them away if they didn't pay.
The Senate needs to take up HR4437 that is waiting for them and quit writing their own pathetic legislation.
The more we crack down on illegal immigration, the less Mexicans in Mexico will cling to the Leftist frontrunner in this July's presidential elections who is suddenly in a statistical deadheat for the first time with right-leading Felipe Calderon. That Chavez-admiring Leftie had been ahead in the polls literally for years on promises of free money and threats of nationalization and such. Suddenly the immigration pressures have helped lead to a declining peso relative to the dollar, though, and voters (who know how much Mexico desperately needs the USA) are noticing growing U.S. disapproval for how Mexico's government still won't stand up to telecom monopoly magnate Carlos Slim (#3 on Forbes wealthiest list). Let's keep up the constructive pressure so that Mexicans who don't want to have to abandon Mexico can stay there (which most WANT to do anyway, to be with their families where they speak the same language and don't have to wash bathroom floors and pick pesticide-laden vegetables).
Meanwhile, don't we owe it to our American people struggling in Mexico who endure Mexico's shamelessly racist immigration restrictions to keep the pressure up and thereby empower reformers in Mexico in that way, too? Can you believe Mexico's hypocritically anti-gringo immigration laws which Rush Limbaugh now impressively and charismaticaly calls "Limbaugh's Laws" while saying we should try running the USA in a similar way to see what the reaction would be? Here they are:

Dream Act ping, post #9.
Good news, eeevil.
The Republican senators united in voting to not vote on the "compromise," which Sen. Sessions succeeded in revealing for the amnesty that it is.
Sen. Sessions deserves some congratulatory messages for his good work, ya think?
I appreciate your post.
Thanks for the ping Mo. I'm so glad this thing is just about dead. How can anyone pass a 500 page bill within 24 hours of it's writing I'll never know. Mark Levin has Sessions speech in full from yesterday.

Somebody needs to hang for this abomination...
Sickening beyond belief. The Rats and RINOs who tried to pass off this crap should be horsewhipped."
Most of the repubs are complicit in this too.
If you don't know that already, you're naive.
Good work, Gary. Thanks for the ping, Travis.
Deadly liberal manipulation ping (short article)...
That's why the "key test vote in the Senate" failed today.
The (R)'s finally got a spine and realized that passing this thing without attachments was the most dangerous thing that could happen.
But we aren't hearing why the vote failed. Apparently, the Republicans don't have THAT much spine.
stellar
Good post!
I listened to almost all of Rush's show two days ago, and he was magnificent on all of this. Hispanics are only 6% of voters, he said.
Thanks for the ping!
