Time Out: Readressing Boneheaded Legislation
I know that Marcie's post regarding the Senate's immigration reform package has a few upset. I get that. I wasn't too pleased either. But take heart dear readers ...
... this still must go through committee. Now the committee will be a dogfight; possibly one of the nastiest in recent history. There are a couple of things I'd like to see tweaked in the version that will eventually be sent to the president. It's not much, but it's got wisdom behind it.
--First, chuck the three-tier system for normalization. They're not accomplishing anything with it. And people will be going to those who can forge papers showing that they've been here past the point of automatic deportation.
--The fence must be higher and longer. That was a good starting point in the House bill and the Sessions Amendment, but there needs to be more. Remember: This goes to national security, and another hurdle terrorists have to clear to get into the nation.
--Finally, limit the involvement of Mexico's consultations regarding where the fence can be placed. I completely understand the argument made by Captain Ed. But the role of the Fox Adminsitration should have little to do with our decisions where the wall can be erected.
Again, this is about our security. We're not protecting Mexico, too. We are making sure that our borders are secure, and to the best of our abilities control who comes into the nation. But this can't be the same sort of half @$$ed effort given over the last twenty years. If it is, then it'll mark the second time that we haven't listened to history. And if we do that, our enemies just might be willing to take a greater risk to get here. I don't know about the rest of America, but I'd rather avoid that, if possible.
To make it possible, make sure you make your voice heard. Call your representatives in Congress, and give them your thoughts about immigration. Be patient. Be polite. But be firm and stern regarding what you expect in terms of immigration legislation. (202) 224-3121

I've been insulted by the senate Rino's, victim of fraud by my stolen VA file, made a fool of by Hastert supporting the dirty representee Jefferson. I hope the house conference immigration conferree's understand the will of the majority of American people. Secure the border, then clean up the 11 to 12 million illegal messes. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Rawriter
