Update

The bill has been postponed. Word is Senate offices have been flooded with phone calls from frustrated citizens that don’t trust the government to fix this issue properly.

Now thats an understatement. America has been yelling "No Amnesty period" yet the politicians still try to sneak it in.

Rewarding Illegal Aliens: Senate Bill Undermines The Rule of Law
by Kris W. Kobach, D.Phil., J.D. and Matthew Spalding, Ph.D.
WebMemo #1468

The most controversial component of the Senate's Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007 is Title VI, euphemistically entitled "Nonimmigrants in the United States Previously in Unlawful Status." It would create a new "Z" visa exclusively for illegal aliens. This title would change the status of those who are here illegally to legal, essentially granting amnesty to those "previously in unlawful status." This seriously flawed proposal would undermine the rule of law by granting massive benefits to those who have willfully violated U.S. laws, while denying those benefits to those who have played by the rules and sometimes even to U.S. citizens.

Flawed Provisions
The following are ten of the worst provisions—by no means an exhaustive list—of Title VI of the bill:
  • A Massive Amnesty
  • The Permanent "Temporary" Visa
  • Hobbled Background Checks
  • Amnesty for "Absconders"
  • Reverse Justice
  • Enforcement of Amnesty, Not Laws
  • Amnesty for Gang Members
  • Tuition Subsidies for Illegal Aliens
  • Taxpayer-Funded Lawyers for Illegal Aliens
  • Amnesty Before Enforcement Triggers

I like what this Representative had to say, this quote came from a headline on Drudge...

"Rep. Boehner Calls Immigration Bill A "Piece Of S*%t"...


Why can't we have Rep.'s & Senators that think like this?

And a "Piece Of S*%t" it is Bubba...

Just 26% Favor Senate Immigration Plan
Wednesday, May 23, 2007

Initial public reaction to the immigration proposal being debated in the Senate is decidedly negative.

A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey conducted Monday and Tuesday night shows that just 26% of American voters favor passage of the legislation. Forty-eight percent (48%) are opposed while 26% are not sure. The bi-partisan agreement among influential Senators and the White House has been met with bi-partisan opposition among the public. The measure is opposed by 47% of Republicans, 51% of Democrats, and 46% of those not affiliated with either major party.

The enforcement side of the debate is clearly where the public passion lies on the issue. Seventy-two percent (72%) of voters say it is Very Important for “the government to improve its enforcement of the borders and reduce illegal immigration.” That view is held by 89% of Republicans, 65% of Democrats, and 63% of unaffiliated voters.

Advocates of “comprehensive” reform have taken to arguing that those who want an enforcement-only policy must explain how they would deal with the 12 million illegal aliens already living in the country. The public reaction to that question appears to be “Why?” Only 29% of voters say it is Very Important for “the government to legalize the status of illegal aliens already in the United States.”

Thirty-eight percent (38%) of Democrats believe that legalization is Very Important. Just 22% of Republicans and 27% of unaffiliated voters share that view.

Still, 65% of voters would be willing to support a compromise including a “very long path to citizenship” provided that “the proposal required the aliens to pay fines and learn English” and that the compromise “would truly reduce the number of illegal aliens entering the country.” The proposal, specifically described as a compromise, was said to include “strict employer penalties for hiring illegal aliens, building a barrier along the Mexican border and other steps to significantly reduce the number of illegal aliens entering the United States.”

The willingness of voters to accept compromise and allow a path to citizenship suggests both pragmatism and a strong desire to do what it takes to reduce the ongoing flow of illegal immigration. The challenge for proponents of the legislation is to convince voters that they are serious about enforcement and that the proposal will truly work. Until that can be accomplished, public opposition to immigration reform is likely to remain very high. In an era where voters overwhelmingly believe that members of Congress are more interested in their careers than the public good, that will be a difficult goal to achieve.

These survey results are consistent with other recent polling data showing that most Americans favor an enforcement-only reform bill. Support drops when a “path to citizenship” is added to the mix. President Bush’s Job Approval ratings dip every time comprehensive immigration reform tops the news.....

Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a mid-term election.

This guy is talking about LEGAL immigration. If you add in ILLGAL immigration it gets even scarier.

About 14 minutes.

I agree jeezeweeze. Seal the boarder now!

Just last year we were talking an estimated 9 million illegals and now it's up to 12 million. 3 million illegals a year is nothing short of ridiculous.
