This amnesty bill stinks. How do I know? It's being praised by every RINO including John McCain. It's also being praised by the President of the United States - not this this will win him any friends amongst the left. Bush will still be demonized by open minded leftists.
How stupid do these people think we are? Illegal immigrants aren't willing to follow the law as it's written now. So Congress tells us they can't force illegals to follow the old lax law, how on earth do they think they're going to make anyone follow the new harsh law? This same Congress keeps telling us that it is impossible to enforce the old law because illegal immigrants hide. What a pathetic excuse. From my experience, most law breakers attempt to hide their activies. Since we can't find serial killers and tax evaders I guess we should give up and grant them amnesty too.
I'm truly floored by this. There isn't a poll anywhere that show that any group of Americans is in favor of this, including immigrants. So how is it that this bill is getting railroaded through? Aren't our officials supposed to be responding to us? So where is this crap coming from?
This bill is 700 pages long. Most people (including most politicians in Washington) haven't read it. Two details that we've been told is are in it are a punishment forcing people who are here illegally to pay a 5000 dollar fine and the head of the household is forced to return to their nation of origin for 8-13 years. Of course the ink of the signatures won't even be dry on this piece of crap and various liberal groups will be complaining that 5000 dollars is too much. Most of the border hoppers now make up unskilled labor - how are they supposed to come up with 5000 bucks? Do you really expect these people to now come forward and turn themselves in?
This bill screws middle America. These illegal immigrants have no respect for our laws are going to get Social Security that they've never paid in too. They're going to get access to education that they've never paid for. They'll included in "Affirmative Action" laws - laws meant to compensate for past US actions that these people as immigrants have never suffered from. These people will also swell our welfare and food stamp rolls. Middle America will be handed this massive bill and get nothing for it.
Meanwhile the rich, white liberal elitists will get a cheap labor source. These lefties need unskilled workers to pick grapes on their vineyards and clean their houses. Contrary to popular buzz phrases, Americans will do these job but not for nickel an hour that greedy, money grubbing liberals are willing to pay. Someone has scrub the ivory towers of our liberal universities to keep them shinning and the million dollar budgets of most colleges there is apparently no money to pay the janitors.
Lot's of people will read this and call me a racist. Racism is the belief that one race is inherently supieror to another. How do tougher immigration laws make us racist? Did I ever once in the statements above point out any specific race/ethnicity? There are illegals from all over the world. Now the Hispanics are the face of the illegal immigration movement - but they have chosen that for themselves. These Hispanic groups comprised of illegals have demanded that we change our laws to accommodate them. They have demanded that we adopt their language. They have demanded that we adopt their customs. They have demanded that we give them entitlements even as they disrespect us and our way of life. And anyone who questions any of this is called a racist? What gall is that?
I have no problem with immigrants who want to come here and be Americans. But we're catering to a bunch of people who want to come here create mini tracts of their homelands. They're not interested in joining our culture and our community. If they were they would start out by OBEYING AND RESPECTING OUR LAWS. They have no problem demanding that the law be applied when they get something out of it (like government housing, government assistance in for college, etc.)? They want to ignore the laws they don't like and follow only the ones that they do. What a slap to the face for everyone, especially the people who struggled to come to our nation legally.
We shouldn't be rewarding these people for breaking the law - especially when it's nothing but a bold face attempt to get liberal Democrat voters.
