Amnesty Supporters – Fire Them and Don’t Hire Them! by Patricia on July 1, 2013
Five questions to ask anyone in Congress thinking about supporting the Senate Immigration Bill and why they should not. This post from The Heritage Foundation sums it up simply and succinctly. Anyone supporting this Amnesty is a lefty-lib and not interested in what is best for our Country – FIRE THEM AND DON’T HIRE THEM!
From Heritage:
It’s July 4 week, which means Members of Congress are at home in their districts. As you head to your nearest town hall meeting, take these questions for your Representative. Below, we also provide the real answers you should be listening for.
1. Since the Senate-passed bill doesn’t require the flow of illegal immigrants to stop, how can you say this approach secures the border?
No one can make that promise. The Senate bill, S.744, throws tens of billions of dollars at the problem and calls for meeting arbitrary security standards, but it doesn’t guarantee that illegal immigration will stop.
Also, many of the bill’s “requirements,” such as 700 miles of border fencing and new border patrol agents, would not commence immediately but over time. As with current immigration laws, some provisions would end up being ignored or waived.
S.744 contains no guarantee that the government would keep its promises of more security and enforcement. Even if it did, it wouldn’t even come close to stopping illegal immigration. We’d revisit this debate again within 20 years.
