ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Newly-introduced bill gives millions of illegal aliens amnesty.

Our beloved elected Congressmen, buckling to the massive pressure by the American people abandoned their last attempt at granting amnesty to illegal aliens ....... but are at it again.

Ira Mehlman of Fedration for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) stated, "Really what it does is it grants amnesty to just about everybody who's been in the country illegally before June 1, 2006; so that encompasses just about everybody who's in the country illegally right now."

The "STRIVE Act of 2007" (Security Through Regularized Immigration and a Vibrant Economy), was introduced by Congressmen Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ). It is quite similar to the Senate bill put forward last year by Senators Ted Kennedy and John McCain. And in a nice vote of confidence, Teddy even had high praise for the Gutierrez-Flake bill. He went so far as to say he was optimistic a new Senate bill will follow.

How wonderful.

I tell ya' what ..... these liberals don't quit. Despite our success at halting previous amnesty attempts, the pro-amnesty crowd is at it again .... trying to bring it back.

As long as I am on the subject of immigration, illegal immigration (there is a difference you know) and amnesty, why is it that when someone speaks in favor of legal immigration and is opposed to illegal immigration, their opponents call them nativists, racists, and whatever other "ists" they can conjure up?

By the way, what does that make "Hillbillery"? Is she a racist and a hater of "brown-skinned" people too?

I ask this because in 2004 she told Manhattan’s WABC radio:

“I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants. Clearly, we have to make some tough decisions as a country, and one of them ought to be coming up with a much better entry-and-exit system so that if we're going to let people in for the work that otherwise would not be done, let's have a system that keeps track of them….People have to stop employing illegal immigrants. I mean, come up to Westchester, go to Suffolk and Nassau counties, stand on the street corners in Brooklyn or the Bronx. You're going to see loads of people waiting to get picked up to go do yard work and construction work and domestic work.”
