Senate passes immigration bill, 68 to 32

Posted on by

Amnesty Clears SenateFrom the WashingtonTimes.com:

Vowing they’ve learned the lessons from the 1986 amnesty, the Senate on Thursday approved the biggest changes to the immigration system in a generation, promising this latest version will prevent another wave of illegal immigrants while at the same time granting a pathway to citizenship to most of the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country.

The 69-32 vote, which saw 14 Republicans join all 54 of the chamber’s Democratic caucus members support it, is likely the high-water mark for immigrant-rights advocates, who held prayer vigils and watching parties Thursday in anticipation of good news for illegal immigrants who’ve been waiting, in some cases for years, for legal status.

Then you have the insanity of John McCain:

“Shouldn’t we give them the same chance that we’ve given wave after wave of immigrants?” said Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican who has worked on this issue for years and who was one of the eight senators who wrote the bill that passed.

As McCain says, “wave after wave” of the illegal Mexicans.  So he wishes to call those endless waves of lawbreakers as citizens.  So those waves will obviously continue.  Why shouldn’t they?  There are rewards for lawbreakers.

Now, on to the House.

Yes, given; this is a lengthy video and most of you won’t play it in full.  Still I post it.

But if you want to see what an actual concerned politician looks like in public, then click on the red button below:

Please listen to this, ladies and gentlemen, because the devil IS in the details.  This bill will create an enormous incentive to hire those here illegally, and a penalty for hiring US citizens.

Corker Amendment Permanently Offers Citizenship to Those Overstaying Their Visa

Posted on by

Corker HoevenFrom Breitbart.com:

by Mike Flynn 21 Jun 2013, 3:35 PM PDT 82 post a comment

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.

Promised by the federal government: “No drones over the US.” WRONG

Posted on by

FBI Director Robert MuellerA blatant and bald-faced LIE.

From RT.com:

FBI director admits domestic use of drones for surveillance

The FBI uses drones for domestic surveillance purposes, the head of the agency told Congress early Wednesday.

Robert Mueller, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, confirmed to lawmakers that the FBI owns several unmanned aerial vehicles, but has not adopted any strict policies or guidelines yet to govern the use of the controversial aircraft.

“Does the FBI use drones for surveillance on US soil?” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) asked Mr Mueller during an oversight hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“Yes,” Mueller responded bluntly, adding that the FBI’s operation of drones is “very seldom.”

Asked by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) to elaborate, Mueller added, “It’s very seldom used and generally used in a particular incident where you need the capability.” Earlier in the morning, however, Mueller said that the agency was only now working to establish set rules for the drone program.

A lie before; a lie again.

Let us not forget this is the same blithering idiot — FBI Director Robert Mueller — who conveniently knew “nothing” about the IRS scandal.

And it is that you trust your federal government to do what precisely?
