Quietly slipping through the legislative process, at least until lately, is the latest incarnation of the Immigration Reform Bill, called Immigration Legislation S-9. This is still nothing but an amnesty plan and a give away of America. This plan cheapens citizenship by giving it to virtually anyone who can get to U.S. soil and seek it.
House Minority Leader John Boehner has called this bill a “piece of shit” and while the words are strong, they are descriptive. This more than can be said of the full name of S-9 as sponsored by Senator Harry Reid. It is called the “Stronger Economy, Stronger Borders Act of 2009.
For starters, this bill reduces the US/Mexico border fence from 800 miles to 200 miles. It allows for chain immigration as well, where not only can an illegal get amnesty and citizenship, but he can also import his extended family.
Alien gang members which are estimated to be 30,000 minimum, qualify for amnesty simply by declaring they “don’t to be in a gang any longer”. Aliens will pay no back taxes but will qualify for the “earned income tax credit” by way of a check from the Government at taxpayer expense.
Tax payers will foot the bill for lawyers to represent illegal aliens and in state college tuition will be given to them as well. Illegals will be given legal status just 24 hours after filing, even though a background check will undoubtedly take much longer. “Temporary ” visas will be granted indefinitely.
At a time when the economy is in the worst recession in many years and the competition for a dwindling number of jobs is fierce, the resentment of Americans having to compete for them with illegals is growing. What jobs are out there have had the wages they pay depressed by this cheap labor source as well.
At 10.2% the jobless rate is higher now than it has been in more than a quarter of a century and at 17.5% the rate of people who are working below their capacity is setting another record. A Russian comedian named Yakov Smirnoff use to say at ever revelation about America “What a country!”
Native American citizens are starting to shake their heads and say the same thing.
