To the Delight of Jorge Bush, Senators Kennedy & McCain Are Poised to Ram Giant Amnesty Bill Down Your Throat

Whose input did Kennedy and President-Never-Gonna-Happen McCain have while concocting their immigration fraud bill? Why, "key stakeholders" such as:

• Immigration Lawyers (chasing the immigration ambulance)
• The ACLU (American Communist's Lawyer's Union)
  
• Big Business (U.S. Chamber of Commerce, looking for cheap labor)
  
• Big Labor (looking for more union dues)
  
• The National Council of La Raza (on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the radical left and 10 being the free market right, Capital Research Center gave NCLR a rating of 3.  Big business is also in bed with the NCLR, by contributing butt loads of grant money.
  

Daily Kos has a good rundown on what the bill will contain. What it all boils down to is that, as always, a massive amnesty will be granted (which will only encourage even more illegal immigration) and everything else will fall by the wayside.

Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, has this to say:

An old Russian saying tells us, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."

Having been burned by this 1986 experience, congressional Republicans last year insisted on an "Enforcement First" approach, demanding that real enforcement measures be implemented, funded, and shown to be working before any discussion of amnesty for the illegals already here would go forward. As Thomas Sowell wrote: "It will take time to see how various new border control methods work out in practice and there is no reason to rush ahead to deal with people already illegally in this country before the facts are in on how well the borders have been secured."

You and President Bush and others have disagreed, claiming that immigration cannot be controlled without an amnesty and huge new guestworker programs. This is an assertion untethered to any evidence—in fact, other than beefing up our still-inadequate effort at the border itself, we've never seriously tried to enforce the immigration law, so how can you know it won't work?

On the contrary, the Center for Immigration studies has used the government's own statistics on churn in the illegal population to estimate that we could reduce the number of illegal aliens by about half in five years, mainly by using ordinary law-enforcement techniques to persuade more and more of them to give up and deport themselves. We have seen this work in certain short-lived instances where the government summoned the gumption to stand up to the elite interests that support open borders. (Krikorian, Mark.

The Senate Judiciary Committee will begin hearings on "comprehensive immigration reform" tomorrow, I believe. Contact your senator and tell him/her that you want our laws and our sovereignty upheld. You can find their contact information here.

Don't bother contacting your senator's local office, unless you do it in addition to calling their DC office. Likewise, an email won't be read soon enough to do any good.

Numbers USA suggests that you also call President Bush, DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff, and Commerce Secretary Gutierrez.
