As the Washington Post reports a lot of Senate Republicans are outraged by the Bush/McCain/Kennedy proposed Senate amnesty bill. But, so is Senator Robert Menendez a New Jersey Dumbocrat who was involved in the back room dealings that created the sham Senate illegal immigrant amnesty bill and is now complaining about it. Here are some of the money quotes from his website:
"WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), a key negotiator in closed door Senate meetings on immigration reform, today voiced his objections to the agreement announced. Menendez said he could not support the limitations in the family reunification program, the temporary nature of the worker program, and the unrealistically high fees that undocumented immigrants would have to pay."
So according to Senator Menendez it is not enough that the American people have to grant amnesty to 12 million people who have ignored and violated our laws. We also have to allow them to bring their families. Let's see 12 million illegals, a wife, two children (conservative estimate), brother, sister, mom and dad. So we could be talking about 76 million people conservatively added to the population of the United States in a very short amount of time. Along with the social services, schools and other costs. But, of course George Bush and Dumbocrats like Menendez are not thinking about these costs to local taxpayers they are Federal officials they don't have to. But, Menendez is worried about some costs. The cost of the fine the illegals would have to pay under the bill for violating our laws. He calls the fine "unrealistically high" Oh my. It will cost taxpayer about $10,000 per year to educate each of the illegal immigrants children alone and the Senator thinks a $5,000 fine for breaking our laws for years is too much. Give me a break!
Senator Menendez then had this to say about the bill he was in the backroom negotiating:
"I for one cannot settle for something that isn't responsible, or something that creates a bigger problem than already exists."
Well, Senator Menendez you already have!
