COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM IS AS BAD AS IT LOOKS

COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM JOKE #9: No Government Benefits for Illegal Immigrants

Marco Rubio is out there saying that illegal immigration who get the pathway to citizenship won't be able to get on any welfare programs. The joke is they already are! He and the other Gang of Eight Senators say they illegals will have to pay a $2000 fine.  Watch the story of this woman an  illegal immigrant in the U.S. over twenty years. She already gets $240 per month in food stamps alone. Her $2000 fine under Comprehensive Immigration reform proposed by democratic Senator Chuck Schumer  and others of the Gang of Eight will make up for only eight months of food stamps this woman has received. Sweet little deal Schumer and the Democrats along with Republicans like McCain and Rubio are proposing. Sweet deal if you are an illegal immigrant that is:

Filethis under HOLA SUCKERS!Her $2000 fine under comp #immigration reform equals only 8 months offood stamp costs nation.foxnews.com/2013/05/31/ill…

COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM JOKE #7: Slush Fund for Pro Illegal Immigration Groups

"The pro-amnesty lobbyists who helped craft the Schumer-Rubio immigration bill included within the bill two "slush funds" amounting to $150 million that may be supplemented with additional taxpayer dollars for years to come. Slush fund grantees are "public or private, non-profit organizations" described in the bill as including "a community, faith-based, or other immigrant-serving organization whose staff has demonstrated qualifications, experience, and expertise in providing quality services to immigrants, refugees, persons granted asylum, or persons applying for such statuses." In other words, the grantees would include many of the groups involved in writing and promoting the amnesty." -MORE HERE   

So let me get this straight those groups who helped, enabled and allowed illegal immigrants to evade the laws of the United States in the past will be getting millions of taxpayer dollars as a reward with Comprehensive Immigration Reform?

COMPREHENSIVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION REFORM JOKE #6: Delaying of E-VERIFY

"The Senate’s complex immigration bill would instantly gut the popular E-Verify system that is widely used to exclude illegal immigrants from jobs, and then create an enforcement gap for several years before the arrival of a replacement system.“There’s no doubt that the bill eliminates E-Verify immediately upon signing,” said Kris Kobach, secretary of state of Kansas"  -MORE HERE

If anything the E-Verify program should be one of the FIRST things that is up and running before anything else. But, that is what happens when a bill called Comprehensive Immigration Reform is written in a back room by immigration lawyers, unions and big business lobbyists and not the American people.

COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM JOKE #5: Border Commission

COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM JOKE #4: Exemptions, waivers, discretion.

The Senate’s pending immigration bill includes roughly 400 exemptions, exceptions, waivers, determinations and grants of discretion.The bill’s complexity is forcing opponents and supporters to comb through its 844 pages before they can declare their conditional support or opposition to the high-stakes measure. -MORE HERE

“WAIVER.—The Secretary, in the Secretary’s sole and unreviewable discretion, may waive the application of subparagraph (A) on behalf of an alien,” says one passage on page 71 of the complex document.

The bill mentions “exempt” or “exemption” 18 times.

Except” appears 156 times in the document.

There are 94 uses of “waiver,” including a provision on page 198 that allows the secretary to invite a deported illegal immigrant to return and file for the amnesty.

“The Secretary of Homeland Security may permit an alien to remain temporarily in the United States and authorize the alien to engage in employment in the United States if the Secretary determines that the alien … has been helpful, is being helpful, or is likely to be helpful, in the investigation, prosecution of, or pursuit of civil remedies related to the claim arising from a covered violation.”

“Unreviewable” appears seven times in the bill.

On page 568, for example, the bill declares that “the Attorney General may, in the Attorney General’s sole and unreviewable discretion, appoint or provide counsel to aliens in immigration proceedings conducted under section 240 of this Act.”

COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM JOKE #3: Border Security triggers

Conn Carrol has a loophole in the Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation that you can drive a truck full of illegal immigrants through. Make that a convoy.

"Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., produced a press release today claiming that his new “Border Security, Economic Opportunity & Immigration Modernization Act” creates “six security trigger steps that must be met before any currently illegal immigrant is given access to a green card.” And it is true. His bill does create six such triggers. But it also creates a huge loophole that makes them entirely irrelevant. " MORE HERE

Here is the result:
"In other words, if the Chamber of Commerce sues to block creation of the E-Verify program, and they either win, or that suit is still pending after ten years, then the secretary of homeland security is empowered to grant permanent legal residence to all legalized immigrants regardless of the actual security situation on the border.

Or maybe environmentalists will sue to block construction of the border fence. Or maybe the ACLU will sue to block the visa-exit system. There are a thousand ways liberal groups could sue the federal government to slow border enforcement. And as long as just one of these suits are still pending 10 years after the bill has become law, the secretary of homeland security is empowered to grant permanent legal status to everyone who benefited from the law."

So all the pro illegal immigrant groups like the ACLU and business groups have to do is keep the lawsuits coming for ten years and then the illegals are home free. Border security or no border security. So much for Rubio's border security "triggers" promise.

COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM: Joke #1 Fines and Back Taxes

"Allow undocumented immigrants who have lived in the United States continually since before December 31, 2011 to apply for “Registered Provisional Immigrant Status” if they pay back taxes and $500 in fines, and if they have not been convicted of a felony or 3 or more misdemeanors or voted illegally. Individuals with this status can work for any employer and travel outside the country but are not eligible to receive means-tested federal public benefits."- NBC

First on taxes there were provisions in the 2007 immigration bill that illegal immigrants had to pay back taxes. But, that was later dropped because it was "too complicated to enforce" does anyone believe that anything has changed since then? Certainly, Senator Chuck Schumer one of the gang of eight pushing this plan has killed plans to make illegals play by the same rules as U.S. taxpayers  as far back as the 1986 immigration plan.

Second the illegals only have to pay a a $500 fine. What a joke! Some of these illegals paid thousands of dollars to cross the U.S. borders illegally. Charging just a $500 fine for the illegals  to be allowed to keep working legally in the U.S. is another joke!

MARCO RUBIO BRINGS THE FOX INTO THE IMMIGRATION HENHOUSE

Between Rand Paul folding like a cheap suit and dropping his principles namely the principle of the rule of law in order to hispander to Latinos while calling for rewarding illegal immigrants with amnesty. Now comes word that Marco Rubio has bought in a Florida immigration lawyer to work on this bogus "Comprehensive Immigration Reform"  worked on in secret by him and a gang of seven other Senators behind closed doors. Here is exhibit A:


"Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio’s top lawyer in the closed-door effort to draft a new immigration bill is a Democratic donor who earns his living by bringing foreign workers into the country on behalf of corporations and universities.
The lawyer, Enrique Gonzalez, is a partner at the nation’s largest immigration firm whose future depends on the outcome of Gonzalez’s closed-door work.
Rubio hired Gonzalez in January, when he was a partner at the Coral Gables, Fla., office of Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy." -MORE HERE

No conflict of interest here eh.  Wonder how Gonzalez's input into the bill is going to work out for legal immigrants and American workers?   Is Marco Rubio this estúpido!  Does he really think the Tea Party folks and conservatives who helped him get into office will give him a blank check after this stunt. The fix is in and it seems Marco Rubio has been in on it from the beginning.

THE COSTS OF COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM

What Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Charles Schumer, Marco Rubio, Obama and the Democrats are not telling the American people about their "Comprehensive Illegal Immigration" plan:

WASHINGTON POST DOES A HIT JOB ON HISPANICS BUT, ONLY REPUBLICAN ONES

Well, it looks like the Washington Post has giving up on journalism and being the paper of record recently and is now carry water for the Democratic Party. This was painfully obvious after they ran a now discredited hit piece on Florida's Republican Senator Marco Rubio by Manual Roig-Franzi.  A reporter who always seems to have some nice things to say about the Castro regime. Whereas  Marco Rubio and many Cuban exiles do not. But, I think Steve Kruiser nailed it on why the liberal editors of the Washington Post allowed this hit piece to be printed. :

"Nothing frightens Democrats more than a minority voter who is a registered Republican. It severely disrupts the meme that the GOP is still secretly getting fitted for Klan hoods at party meetings. Democrats begin to sweat severely when said Republican begins to rise to prominence and they need to get the message out that this will not stand. That is why Rubio was immediately labeled a “risk” and Herman Cain was dismissed as “Pizza Man.”-Steve Kruiser

Then of course this is the same paper that knowingly had an illegal immigrant Jose-Antonio-Vargas working as a reporter at their paper for several years and said nothing until the story broke in the New York Times Magazine. Even then they only covered it in the "Style" section. Pretty pathetic for even a liberal "news" organization like the Washington Post. No wonder people don't trust media outlets like the Wahington Post to actually report the news these days.
