With a vote scheduled for Wednesday, U.S. Senators were still in private talks Tuesday night over what their immigration reform bill would look like. Republicans and Democrats have been locked in weeks of intense bargaining over immigration reform.Unless a deal can be struck, Democratic Majority leader Senator Harry Reid has vowed to bring up an immigration bill held over from last year. If Reid cannot attract enough Republicans Senators to hit the 60 vote supermajority needed to launch debate in the 100-member Senate, the issue could effectively die until after 2008 presidential and congressional polls.C
Iowa Congressman Steve King says he would rather do nothing than the wrong thing when it comes to immigration reform.'I'm not for pardoning and I'm not for rewarding people that entered the United States illegally,' King says. 'This is a far broader issue...and we need to look down the road a couple of generations...because we don't get a chance to do this over and it's not the kind of toothpaste that you can put back in the tube.'
Amnesty will add to the already existing problem and will encourage more illegals to try to cross the border.
ReplyDeleteAs an american citizen not paying my taxes would land me in jail. These people would get a pat on the back for committing crimes for both not paying taxes and being here illegally. I say put television adds in Mexico and billboards in spanish along the border that say " Don't come here there are no jobs and no one will hire you and you will be deported and sent back" Put a law in effect that would penalize any employer severely hiring illegals.
No birthright to children born of illegals. Welfare, none to illegals, social security only to legal citizens that have worked in this country for at least 20 years and have paid into the fund. Abolish bilingual education, and plural use of language in gvernment institutions. And maybe after all of this we may take control of this mess that special interest groups got us into.
