US Senate - - An Illegal Alien Lobby
Our Warriors and military retirees must beg Congress for funds while the US Senate seems perfectly willing to expend over 2 Trillion Dollars in support of illegal aliens.
Can anyone deny the reflection of conspiracy in the US Senate?
The media report on June 9, 2007, “President Bush, trying to recover from a stinging setback on immigration will personally try in a visit to the Capitol next week to revive the embattled plan for legalizing millions of unlawful immigrants…to placate or outmaneuver conservative Republicans…” is disturbing. American’s have said “no” in very emphatic terms to “politically correct” legislation dealing with “illegal aliens” in America…why is this so hard to understand?
In 1986 during the Reagen Administration, one-time amnesty was given to illegal aliens in America with a goal of controlling our borders, account for people in America, and immigration in general. A specific aspect of the 1986 legislation was to prosecute employers who hired illegal aliens to perform work in America.
The prohibition against employers hiring illegal aliens is still the law of the land but not enforced by the federal government…employers are still hiring illegals with impunity, federal and state government look the other way. The 1986 Amnesty legislation failed, only encouraging more illegal aliens.
Just last year, legislation was passed that provides 2 billion dollars to build a fence on the southern border of the United States. Is it being done?…not really. Of some 700 miles of fence and other security measures authorized, eleven (11) miles has been completed. This legislation also authorized a large number of border patrol agents to be hired and trained as well as a host of other security measures. None is being carried out with a sense of urgency.
Now the President and others in the US Senate continue to seek more legislation duplicative of what already exists, rewarding law-breakers, adding enormous tax burdens on American citizens, jeopardizing national security, ignoring enforcement and execution of immigration legislation already on the books.
As I see it here’s the analogy: a water pipe breaks in the kitchen, pouring water all over the house…the first action is to start mopping the floor. Mopping up the kitchen floor while water is pouring out is not the first priority…turning off the water at the main valve is first priority. Common sense directs priority toward stopping the problem and then trying to clean up the mess…
Legislation is already on the books :
Employers hiring illegal aliens violate the law. Arrest employers – Enforce the law now
Build the authorized/legislated fence and other security measures that protect America’s southern border. Enforce the law now
Hire and train authorized border patrol agents. Enforce the law now
This is not about being anti-immigrant, it’s about American sovereignty and national security…most of us are immigrants if we look back far enough. The fact is we just don’t trust Congress and politicians in general.
No more illegal alien band-aids until immigrant legislation on the books is executed.
