From Breitbart.com:
Just as public anxiety about the weak border security provisions in the Senate immigration bill was building, GOP Sen. Bob Corker stepped forward with an amendment to “fix” the problem. The result of his efforts, however, has been a “christmas tree” measure, covering items far beyond border security. Breitbart News has learned exclusively that one provision of Corker’s amendment will allow workers who stay in the country past their visa will remain on the “path to citizenship.”
Really? Lawbreakers given an edge?
Even in the future, breaking the law won’t stop progress on what VP Joe Biden calls the “unfettered path” to citizenship.
The Corker Amendment ostensibly addresses measures to beef up border security. It, however, is also likely to be the last amendment considered on the immigration bill. As such, it has become a 1,000+ page amendment to supplant the current proposal and provide multiple new provisions. It has become the vehicle for ObamaCare 2.0.
Buried within the text of the Amendment is a seemingly innocuous provision:
(f) APPLICABILITY OF CERTAIN GROUNDS OF INADMISSIBILITY.—In determining an alien’s inadmissibility under this section, section 212(a)(9)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(9)(B)) shall not apply.
What does that mean?
Current law states that those applying for green cards are ineligible if they are either “illegally present” at any point or overstay the terms of their work visa. Such an immigrant, in current law, would have to return to their home country and restart the immigration process. The Corker Amendment wipes away that enforcement mechanism.
As I am frequently wont to say: “you ever read or hear of this on any other media, alternative or otherwise?”
Uh, no. You won’t.

Just telling it like it REALLY is, that’s what guys like us do BZ, but I have a HUGE question…
Are we doing any GOOD? Are we making a difference? Or are we merely letting off steam and wasting time?
Serious questions..
It’s highly likely you are preaching to the choir. I hope it goes way beyond that but I have my doubts. I don’t blog but I do pass on some posts from both of you and also articles with content I think others should know about as they will not get it from the MSM. I don’t know from which news source (if any) these people get their news so I try to make sure they are informed. I also do this in hopes that they will pass this on to others they know but I have serious doubts this is done.
If we were living with a government we could trust in this country I can see being less involved in the political goings on but this administration is so blatantly dishonest and full of contempt for the Constitution that it is criminal not to stay informed and speak out. The only hope I now have is that liars tend to hang themselves as they can’t lie forever and get away with it.
Are we — YOU — ME — only tilting at windmills?
BZ
That’s the Question of Questions.
And the one with which I don’t quite have an answer.
I so wish to God that I did. . .

Sometimes, Fred, I really think so. Some days I’m not so sure.

As always, a snappy title with the devils in the details.
In a word, HELL NO!!! Well, TWO words…
Idiots. Since they have devalued citizenship so badly, they should be forced to put a price on it. $10,000.00 is a steal for bona fied U.S. citizenship. Fastest 110 billion ever made. Loans would be made, and paid back no doubt. In the event of default, let the banks find them, shake them down, and toss ’em out. They would have no problem with that and would do so efficiently. But no, just give it away.
And since all of these people will be having free cheese, housing subsidies, insurance, education grants, unemployment benefits etc. with no skin in the game. It’s time for a tax revolt.
