The new amnesty con

“As a rule of thumb, Congressional legislation that is bipartisan is usually twice as bad as legislation that is partisan.” ~ Thomas Sowell

What do you get when RINOs Grahamnesty and McLame sign on with the likes of Schmuck Schumer, Turbin Durbin, Menendez and other Dems to resurrect a Bush-era amnesty proposal (i.e., 'comprehensive immigration reform'), spiced up with the Marco Rubio so-called 'push to the right'? Another rues, another con, ultimately resulting in another amnesty (i.e., more Democratic voters).

HotAir: A bipartisan group of Senators have already released the conceptual structure of an immigration reform compromise, if not the legislative language. This is getting plenty of press today, and it will probably take most of the attention in politics this week for both its own substance and how it plays in both parties and among voters. The compromise provides normalization for most of the illegal immigrants in the US, but puts certification of border security and a visa-program overhaul first — as well as all of those applying legally for immigration as of the bill’s passage:

Four Basic Legislative Pillars:

1. Create a tough but fair path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants currently living in the United States that is contingent upon securing our borders and tracking whether legal immigrants have left the country when required;

2. Reform our legal immigration system to better recognize the importance of characteristics that will help build the American economy and strengthen American families;

3. Create an effective employment verification system that will prevent identity theft and end the hiring of future unauthorized workers; and,

4. Establish an improved process for admitting future workers to serve our nation’s workforce needs, while simultaneously protecting all workers.

And we're supposed to believe that this normalization will come only after the border is secured and the visa-program is overhauled? What a load. And Democrats have already informed their supporters as much. We're also evidently supposed to be happy that so-called 'conservatives' are in the room with Democrats running the show and pushing this through. Comforting.

The one question that continues to be avoided: "Why, decade after decade, haven't existing laws been enforced?" Guess the rule of law is just too tough to confront.

Call your Representatives and Senators at (202) 224-3121 and tell them "NO AMNESTY!" starting with the 'Gang of 8':

Republicans Marco Rubio, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Jeff Flake

Democrats Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, Bob Menendez, and Michael Bennet
