I’ve been reading as much as I can about the proposed immigration bill and trying to figure out just what all it includes. So far all I can say is I’m confused.
Illegal aliens will have to return home—maybe—and/or pay a fine to get on track for citizenship. But they can apply for something called a Z-visa and stay here and avoid a fine. Or they can just forget about applying for anything and continue to hide under the radar which may—or may not—be strengthened.
No where does this bill seem to say the border security will be tightened or that enforcement of existing laws will be improved.
I’ve seen quotes from lots of politicians saying this is not an amnesty. But if there is no push to punish law breakers (and I don’t count the wink and a nod pay a little fine portion of this bill to be just punishment) then this is an amnesty. And as we have seen from past amnesties, no good can come from it.
I sincerely hope our elected officials get to read the damn thing before they are asked to vote on it and that, after wading through the 800, 900, 1000, or whatever pages they come to their senses and vote this abomination down.
If they don't, I hope they have a good idea as to what they want to do in retirement. All they have to do is look at the attitude of the folks in Hazelton, PA. The legal citizens elected their representatives to look out for the well being of the legal citizen of the USA, not to make things easier or "more humane" for some illegal alien whose first act upon coming to this country was to break the law.
