--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When legislators talk about comprehensive legislation in regards to illegal immigration, they are talking about giving amnesty to the estimated twelve to thirty-five millions of people who have broken our laws, the first one being that of entering the country without our permission.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somehow, comprehensive legislation sounds better than amnesty. Most people know what amnesty means, and it is opposed by the majority of Americans who, when polled, by an approximately 80% factor do not want amnesty. Instead, they want our borders secure and employers of illegal aliens punished. They do, however, understand “guest worker” to mean that some workers may come here to work in available jobs, but must go back home, and do not enjoy the benefits that a citizen does. As used by some of our Senators and Congresspeople, however, “guest worker” is interchangeable with amnesty.
The new Democrat Congress, joined by some prominent RINOs, is poised to grant amnesty to the millions already here and grant full citizen benefits to them and to their families, making the estimated numbers grossly underestimated. This bill will be presented soon, as it is a priority with the Democrat Congress, led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.
Republicans in the House of Representatives in the last Congress heard from their constituents and passed a commonsense law that put the safety of American citizens first, by requiring the building of a barrier on the southern border and the penalizing of employers who act as magnets for the illegal aliens coming across that border.
The Senate, working on its bill, was led by Senators Ted Kennedy and John McCain. They were joined by Senators Specter, Frist, Brownback, Hagel, Martinez and others usually considered RINOs (Republican in name only). Their bill, S2611, would have given every benefit this country has to offer to the illegal aliens who sneaked across our borders. Reports are that the previous Senate bill is being warmed over, and is even worse than the original. If this bill or anything like it is passed, it will mean those who broke our laws will be made legal, while those in other countries who are jumping through our bureaucratic hoops to honor our laws, will continue to wait, sometimes as long as several years, to enter legally. Not only are illegals going to be made legal with one law, their families will be allowed to join them here.
This means:
All illegal aliens would be eligible to gain citizenship. Once they become citizens, it also allows them to bring in parents and other relatives, by the millions.
U.S. taxpayers would be forced to fund a massive welfare system that would take in those who have invaded the country. It is akin to a robber stealing your money, but hiding out until a general amnesty is issued, then coming back and demanding to be put on your bank account.
