If you like bi-partisan compromise and "progress" in the form of more legislation, you're going to love this...
Since pretty much every member of congress seems convinced that simple enforcement of the existing immigration laws (that they passed) won't work, and that rights for illegal aliens is a higher priority than the rights of legal law abiding Americans, some form of amnesty is bound to pass sooner or later.
Despite Washington's marathon effort to screw the American citizen, the Wall Street Journal reports, "By a vote of 33-63, the Senate fell far short of the 60 votes that would have been needed to limit debate on the immigration measure and put it on a path to passage. Republicans -- even those who helped craft the measure and are expected to support it -- banded together to oppose that move, while a majority of Democrats backed it."
But they will be back, we know this... So we need to cut a deal while we still can.
I propose a single simple amendment to the amnesty bill that might make amnesty acceptable for most Americans, members of congress not included most likely.
A case can be made that a need for "comprehensive reform" exists, regarding both illegal and legal immigration. It's also true that "pure" amnesty is not on the table, although the current bill is more about amnesty than enforcement.
This problem can be solved in one quick step, with one simple amendment.
Most Americans understand that Washington DC is fully responsible for the fact that we already have 12 – 20 million unknown illegal aliens living here and they rightly have NO faith in Washington DC to do anything to fix it.
Any politician foolish enough to think a single American trusts them to fix anything is too foolish to even hold office at this point. But since they do, they shouldn't be trusted with sharp objects or tough decisions. That goes for most of the current presidential candidates...
If we must have "comprehensive reform", then let's cut a deal we can live with. Let's remove any and all government inducements for both illegal aliens and their congress members seeking new voters.
Congress can not be allowed to ignore American voters in pursuit of new voters that they think they can control easier. That's what this is all about... Both political parties are wrangling for new immigrant voters, since Americans are just too hard to control or even predict.
Congress wants to buy the LaRaza vote with free medical care, free schooling, and social assistance for folks here illegally, falsely claiming that illegal immigration is a fundamental American foundation. Horse pucky!
Politicians want to fine corporations for giving illegal aliens honest work. But they don't want to fine themselves for inducing new potential voters across the border with free gifts from the tax-payers treasury. How insane!
Attach any amendment that blocks the LaRaza bloc from ever voting and watch how fast any form of amnesty loses favor in Washington DC...
What a bunch of scum we have in Washington today. It's time for comprehensive Washington DC reform, not illegal alien reform!
