Comprehensive Amnesty quatro

Michael Chertoff claims that people who oppose Comprehensive Amnesty want to do nothing about our immigration problem. No Mike. We want you to enforce the laws already on the books. If you are too dumb, lazy and corrupt to do that, why should we believe that you are going to get smarter, more energetic and less corrupt with this new bill? People who support the 600-1,000 page definition of “legal loophole” called the Comprehensive Amnesty Bill of 2007 say it’ll be the last bill necessary on this subject. It won’t be. Here’s why:The law will be administered by the federal government.

That is the same federal government that has let 12 million illegals into the country in the first place creating the mess that the feds now claim they are smart enough to fix. They fixed campaign financing too, remember?

That is the same federal government that has rounded up 600,000 illegals for deportation and then lost them.

That is the same federal government that used the exact same argument in 1986 when it gave amnesty to 2-3 million illegals – that worked well didn’t it.

That is the same federal government that will not enforce our current immigration laws.

That is the same federal government that finds it easier to lock up its own border patrol agents than illegal drug smugglers.

That is the same federal government who will use every resource of the government to throw the book at its own border agents while letting criminal illegals come and go pretty much at will.

That is the same federal government that coined the phrase “doing work Americans won’t do” even though illegals can be found doing work everywhere from picking oranges to building houses.

That is the same federal government that authorized 700 miles of fence in 2006 but has managed to build only two miles since.

This thing is sure to fail. 600-1,000 pages of contradictory law- come on. And what happens when people waiting in line to enter the country legally sue to pay a $5,000 dollar fine – actually it’s a citizenship fee – and be granted access?

How long will it be before the 9th Circuit Court strikes down every punitive measure contained in the bill because the bill first makes the illegals legal and the government cannot fine legal aliens?

How long will it be before our brave congress tells us that a fence is not the answer?

How long will it be before bilingual anarchy sets in and pandering pols and clueless judges require every spoken and printed word in America be in both English and Spanish?

How long will it be before every social program in America goes broke while catering uneducated low skilled workers “doing the work Americans won’t do”?

How long will it be before the current uneducated low skilled workers “doing the work Americans won’t do” begin to unionize and drive their wages up creating a whole new market for uneducated low skilled illegal labor?

Well this could go on and on but hell we asked for this last Nov.

Memorial Day is upon us. This is a good time to make your annual contribution to the Wounded Warrior Project.
