TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN AMERICAN CITIZENS

Is there no sanity in the Senate?

For weeks Ted Kennedy and special interests have been holed up with the President's men, conspiring to foist another amnesty on the American citizens. The current Comprehensive Immigration Reform is a scam based on lies. CIR is a fraud which does not serve the people of this nation. In fact, this amnesty will destroy unity and bankrupt this nation.

The Snake Kennedy said in 1986, "This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this." He might be lying whether it is amnesty, but he is right the 1986 bill is far better than the current S. 1348. Amnesty for 12 to 30 million illegal aliens will be much more devastating to the United States and her citizens than the 3 million actually granted amnesty from the 1986 bill.

If there is any similarity between S. 1348 and last years S. 2611 we can expect legal immigration to be expanded up to 3-4 million per year. We can only guess whether family reunification will be apart of the new bill. If so, be prepared to see the population expand by another 100 million in the next two decades.

There will be sections devoted to border security and employer sanctions like prior bills, but there is no guarantee that enforcement will ensue. How convenient, the Presidents, Congresses, and administrations will just ignore the law as they have for the past twenty years. If we are nation in 2027 I can envision that we will be having another amnesty for another 20 million illegal aliens.

With a government and Congressmen so willing to lie to the public can we really trust anything that they say? Already, the President is reneging on the Secure Fence Act. It has been said that only two miles out of the approved 700 miles has been built. If it takes two years to build two miles the entire fence will be built in the year 2356. The number of border patrol agents hired has been scaled back. They tell us that the number of apprehensions are down due to presence of the National Guard, or is it that the Border Patrol is afraid to make arrests for fear of being indicted for doing their job?

The government does not tell us the truth about how many illegal aliens enter the U.S. A report by the House Committee on Homeland Security reported, "Federal law enforcement estimates that 10 percent to 30 percent of illegal aliens are actually apprehended and 10 percent to 20 percent of drugs are seized. Therefore, in 2005, as many as 10 to 4 million illegal aliens crossed into the United States; and as much as 4.8 to 2.4 million pounds of cocaine and 25.5 to 12.8 million pounds of marijuana entered the United States." (converted from kg to lbs.) This is totally unacceptable. If this amnesty becomes law, and border security is ignored as expected, these numbers will climb and we will cease to be a nation.

We cannot afford to trust the President and Congress to provide security, because they have and are demonstrating they are not trustworthy. If we believe them we will surely lose once again.

We need a complete moratorium on immigration, with immediate control of the borders, and a policy to promote attrition of illegal aliens in this country. The latter can be done by enforcing current law and stiffening penalties for those that aid and abet, especially those hiring and providing welfare to illegal aliens.
