While the mainstream media has quotes from the pro-illegal immigrant backers of the Senate Immigration bill there are others like Senator Grassely who don't appear in the mainstream media but, are more in tune with the main street of America on the immigration issue here is an example:
"Senator Grassley also complained about the work requirement in the bill that only mandated proof of employment for three out of the last five years. He lamented that the proof threshold was so low; an alien could ask anyone to attest that he has been employed. Senator Grassley also said he was disappointed the Ensign amendment did not pass and said illegal aliens are getting a benefit they did not expect and had to commit fraud in order to receive it. He added that under the bill, employers get a pardon for hiring illegal aliens and thus get off "scott free" for deducting taxes with respect to those aliens. "
"Senator Grassley then addressed the rule of law. He said the way to get at big crime is to get at petty crime, referring to Mayor Giuliani's policy in New York City. Maybe if we start enforcing our immigration laws and have a realistic program to let people come to work, he said, we may regain the sovereignty of our nation. The Senator continued that this is a guest worker program that takes the form of amnesty, and he could not buy into it. There are a lot of people who commit crimes they can't work their way out of, he said. The amnesty signals "softness" as
to whether we care if people come illegally or not."
We need more quotes in the mainstream media from people like Senator Grassley and less from John McCain, Ted Kennedy and Diane Fienstein. When it's Senators like Grassley who really get it!
