The 800-plus-page Senate immigration bill (S. 744) is like Obamacare -- too big
and "filled with broken promises and special
interest giveaways," Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said on Tuesday.
Sessions is thanking the 149 conservatives who issued an open
letter on Tuesday, expressing their "serious concerns" with the bill and urging senators to vote against
it.
"No matter how well-intentioned, the Schumer-Rubio bill suffers from
fundamental design flaws that make it unsalvageable," the conservatives wrote.
Conservative critics say the bill:
-- Is bloated and unwieldy along the lines of Obamacare
or Dodd-Frank;
*
-- Cedes excessive control over immigration law to an administration that has
repeatedly proven itself to be untrustworthy, even
duplicitous (LYING
CONNIVING LA RAZA SUPREMACIST JANET NAPOLITIANO, WHO HAS TURND DHS INTO Dept.
of Homeland Security = PATHWAY to an AMERICAN JOB, WELFARE and VOTING BOOTH);
-- Legalizes millions of illegal immigrants before securing the borders,
thus ensuring future illegal immigration;
-- Rewards law breakers and punishes law enforcement, undermining the rule of
law;
-- Hurts American job-seekers, especially those with less education;
-- Threatens to bankrupt
our already strained entitlement system;
-- Expands government by creating new bureaucracies, authorizing new spending,
and calling for endless regulations;
-- Contains dangerous
loopholes that threaten national security;
-- Is shot through with earmarks for politically connected interest groups;
-- Overwhelms our immigration bureaucracy, guaranteeing widespread fraud.

"Reforming our immigration system is an important priority," the
open letter said. "But S.744 is such a defective measure that it would do
more harm than good."
Sen. Sessions, a leading opponent of the bill, called the open letter
"a profound statement from patriotic Americans speaking out against the
special interests."
"The letter makes crucial points about
how the Gang of Eight legislation will pull down Americans’ wages, destroy
American jobs and erode the constitutional rule of law as immigration officers
have repeatedly warned. While the number of voices supporting the Gang of Eight
legislation shrinks, the number of Americans speaking out against this proposal
continues to grow," Sessions said in a news release.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 13-5 Tuesday night to send the
immigration bill to the full Senate. Debate will begin after Congress' Memorial
Day recess.
Sessions was among the five senators who voted against the bill in
committee.
In his closing
remarks to the committee, Sessions described the bill as "fatally
flawed," and he predicted "It will not become law."
Amendments offered by Republicans to put enforcement and border security
first were all rejected, he said. Other concerns include the cost to taxpayers
(no estimates have been provided, Sessions noted).
"Finally, and most importantly, I would like to talk
about the impact on American workers. Sponsors of this legislation have said it
will not significantly increase total immigration levels. But we have conclusively demonstrated that this bill
would legalize 30 million immigrants over 10 years and provide legal status to
many millions more temporary workers. This will be a hammer blow to the wages
and employment opportunities of American workers -- both immigrant and native
born.
"This bill is bad for workers, bad for taxpayers and -- as immigration
officers have pleaded for us to hear—a threat to public safety and the rule of
law. It serves the special interests at the expense
of the national interest. Therefore, I must oppose.”
Sessions is one of several Republicans to compare the immigration bill with
the Affordable Care Act.
On May 7, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told fellow members of the Homeland
Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that S. 744 was “like Obamacare” in
its ambiguous and confusing language.
A week later, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said
the immigration bill was “far worse” than ObamaCare: He described the bill as
an attempt by Senate Democrats “to establish another monolithic voting bloc”
among Hispanic Americans.
If passed, the brainchild of the so-called “Gang-of-eight” senators would
grant permanent resident status to the estimated eleven million illegal
immigrants currently residing in the United States. THERE ARE REALLY MORE THAN
40 MILLION ILLEGALS LOOTING IN OUR BORDERS… NOW DO THE MATH.

Union for immigration
enforcement officers to oppose Senate bill
“In
a statement, National Citizenship and Immigration Services Council (NCISC)
president Kenneth Palinkas said the bill would create an “insurmountable
bureaucracy” within his agency, and argued the legislation would interfere with
the independent judgment of officers who were already “pressured to rubber
stamp applications instead of conducting diligent case review and
investigation.”

The danger, as Washington

"We could cut
unemployment in half simply by reclaiming the jobs taken by illegal
workers," said Representative Lamar Smith of Texas, co-chairman of the
Reclaim American Jobs Caucus. "President Obama is on the wrong side of the
American people on immigration. The president should support policies that help
citizens and legal immigrants find the jobs they need and deserve rather than
fail to enforce immigration laws." REP. LAMAR SMITH – OUR NEXT

The amnesty that
never ends
By Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) - 05/06/13 08:18 PM ET
Advocates for amnesty argue that the 11 million
immigrants in the country illegally should be legalized (but what if there are
40 million? What’s the math then?).
They claim we need to
bring illegal immigrants “out of the shadows.” But illegal immigrants are very
visible — they attend public schools, obtain health services at hospital
emergency rooms at taxpayer expense and even testify before Congress.

“What

If you are an illegal alien, you can drive a car without a driver's license or
insurance. You may obtain medical care without paying. You may work without
paying taxes. Your children enjoy free education at the expense of taxpaying
Americans.”
