Amnesty Bill: Daily Roundup For 05/31/2007

Apparently, our government thinks the border is secure enough to allow 2,000 of our finest immigration officers to serve with the U.S. Secret Service guarding all of the Presidential wanna-be’s.

GuardDog lists 5 big problems with the Amnesty Bill.

In his own bow to reality, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff admits the immigration bill provides amnesty,

Chertoff acknowledged there is “a fundamental unfairness” in legislation that permits illegal immigrants to remain in the United States but said trying to force them to leave would be impossible, USA Today reported.

and then goes on to warn what will happen if the amnesty bill does not survive.

Chertoff warned there would be more mass roundups of illegal workers if the workers do not get a chance to become legal.

“We’re going to enforce the law,” he said. “People all around the country will be seeing teary-eyed children whose parents are going to be deported.”

Why aren’t we doing that now? Why can’t we enforce the laws that are already on the books? The best implementation of “immigration reform” would come if we just started enforcing those laws. Don’t you think?

Laura Ingraham tells it like it is. She let loose with a rant on the President that is long overdue. You can listen to a three minute clip right here,

or you can head over to Hot Air and listen to the whole thing.

Joe at Techography has the MUST READ of the day. Four Freedoms. Part 2.

La Shawn Barber talks about the Culture of Illegal Aliens.

Kevin Ecker says President Bush has crossed the line, and I agree.

President Bush has placed this issue at the cornerstone of his legacy. By insulting his staunchest supporters and claiming they are unwilling to do “what’s right for America”, he has set in stone the very thing that most Americans will remember him for.

When critics of the Amnesty Bill have valid arguments about its content, he claims they are using empty rhetoric to scare people into opposing it. Why not come up with valid arguments to support it? Because there are none.

When critics of the Amnesty Bill point out how flawed it is, he insinuates they are being unpatriotic. He doesn’t even call Democrats unpatriotic. Selling out America, making our borders less secure, and giving amnesty to millions of people who have no intention of “assimilating” into our society. That’s what I call unpatriotic. But who’s name calling, right?

When critics of the Amnesty Bill quote the actual text included in the bill, he calls them intellectually dishonest. But he has no problem repeating that this bill is “a chance to fix the problems in a comprehensive way that enforces our border and treats people with decency and respect”. Where exactly in the 326 pages of the Amnesty Bill does it “fix” any problem? Unless of course your talking about neutering American values and tradition, then I suppose it is a quick “fix”.

I, like millions of other Americans, have supported the President through thick and thin, but I can no longer do that if this is the direction he is going to take. It’s my job as a husband, a father, and an American, to make sure my family and my country is secure. I can’t do that by supporting this bill. I cannot sit by and do nothing while he and the goof balls in the Senate try to sell out America’s future.

I do have one question though…

Ours is a government of the people, by the people, for the people. When it comes to this Amnesty Bill, exactly which people are the President and those in the Senate working for?

The Senate will resume the Amnesty Bill debate on June 4th. Don’t wait til the 4th to make your voice heard. Let your senator know exactly where you stand on the issue, and urge him/her to vote against this disastrous legislation. At least some members of the House will be ready to help squash it, if it makes it out of the Senate.
