Selling Out America to the Highest Vote Getter

With due respect for the Bard, "That which we call a compromise bill would smell as foul by any other name."

Folks, have no doubt about it, this is an amnesty bill. It is designed to fail, and it is designed to pander to the growing illegal Hispanic population in America in hopes (amazingly, by both parties) to curry favor in hopes of gaining votes. Will Republicans never learn that they just can't out Democrat Democrat's?

I am gravely disappointed by those Republicans who agreed with the corrupt war profiteeress Dianne Feinstein, that they should not "let the perfect be the enemy of the good."

Umm, Lady Di, once more one of you Democrat geniuses has completely reversed an old truism...the correct phrase is "Don't let the good be the enemy of the perfect." Why must our Congress always strive for mediocrity? Why are there no courageous politicians, willing to jeopardize their seats for what they know in their hearts to be right remaining in Congress? I guess the easy answer to that is because we Americans don't elect strong leaders into Congress, we elect "politicians," with all the foul meaning associated with that word.

Anyway, here's the Posts story. The link, as usual is in the title of this particular blog:

Deal on Immigration Reached
Bush Supports Senate's Bipartisan Compromise, but Hurdles Remain

The Bush administration and a bipartisan group of senators reached agreement yesterday on a sprawling overhaul of the nation's immigration laws that would bring an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants out of society's shadows while stiffening border protections and cracking down on employers of undocumented workers.

-------------------snip--------------------

The Senate deal would grant temporary legal status to virtually all illegal immigrants in the country, while allowing them to apply for residence visas and eventual citizenship. A temporary-worker program would allow as many as 400,000 migrants into the country each year, but they would have to leave after two years. And the current visa system, which stresses family ties, would be augmented by a complex point system that would favor skilled, educated workers. Most of those changes would take effect only after the implementation of tough new border controls and a crackdown on the employment of undocumented workers.

-------------------snip--------------------------

Democratic leaders were leery of three pivotal concessions to the conservatives. The first would make illegal immigrants' access to long-term visas and the new guest-worker program contingent upon the implementation of the border crackdown. Before those immigrant-rights measures could go into effect, the government must deploy 18,000 new Border Patrol agents and four unmanned aerial vehicles; build 200 miles of vehicle barriers, 370 miles of fencing, and 70 ground-based radar and camera towers; provide funds for the detention of 27,500 illegal immigrants a day; and complete new identification tools to help employers screen out illegal job applicants.

-------------------------snip-----------------

Another sticking point came from the proposed replacement of an immigration system primarily designed to reunify families with a point system that would give new emphasis to skills and education. Automatic family-reunification visas would no longer apply to the adult siblings and children of U.S. citizens, and visas for parents would be capped. Instead, points would be granted to migrants with work experience in high-demand occupations and who have worked for a U.S.-based firm. Additional points would be awarded based on education levels, English proficiency and family ties.

"We need to find a system that values and honors the work of all," said Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (Ill.), who is one of the Democrats entrusted by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with developing a House bill. "The landscaper is just as important as the computer scientist."

If ever there was a clearer statement of the Marxist philosophy of the Democrat Party than Madame Speaker Pelosi's, I have yet to have heard it.

"The landscaper is just as important as the computer scientist."???

How so Madame Bela? If you are speaking as to their relative worth as human beings with souls, yes you are very correct, but if you are speaking, and I am certain that you are, of their relative contribution to the functioning of our society, then you are revealing for all the world to see your Marxist beliefs.

Of course some of us have never doubted your absolute belief in that failed, flawed, philosophy, from day one, but it is nice to hear you state it aloud.

Confession is good for the soul, and now perhaps you can begin to encourage the rest of your Marxist friends in Congress to confess their adherence to that atheistic, anti-American, illogical, and undeniably failed economic paradigm.

This Bill is an Anathema to any who believe that a nation must have control over its border or it is a nation no more. It is a gift to those in the "Re-Conquista" movement (those Hispanics who seek to return ownership of the Southwest and California to Mexican control) which guarantees further mass illegal immigration.

We have been down this road before during the Reagan administration. That bill was also supposed to "solve the illegal immigration problem." Of course all it did was exacerbate the problem.

Until a solid, insurmountable barrier is placed across the entire border, illegal aliens will continue their invasion of our nation, and remain a threat to our national identity and security.

Long Live Our American Republic!
