If the senate passed bill for amnesty passes in the house also,,,this is what we will be looking at: At more than 1,100 pages, the Senate’s “comprehensive” approach (which was actually crafted by the White House, according to the New York Times) is severely flawed; so flawed, in fact, that it simply cannot be fixed. Over the past several weeks, we have learned that the Senate bill: 1. Will cost American taxpayers trillions of dollars; 2. Will lower American workers’ wages over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office; 3. Fails to close the loopholes that allow legal immigrants (and their dependents) as well as illegal immigrants to access the myriad tax credits, welfare programs and other public assistance programs (despite requirements under the Welfare Reform Act of 1996); 4. Fails to secure the border and, in fact, will exacerbate existing weaknesses in our national security; 5. Will impose significant burdens on state and local governments that will bear the burden of delivering certain legally required benefits, including in our local schools; 6. Dramatically increases the future flow of illegal immigration; 7. Contains payouts and political favors for special interest groups, including Silicon Valley companies and other big business lobbying groups; 8. Provides total discretion to the Secretary of Homeland Security to enforce (or not enforce) the bill’s border security provisions (See Section 5(b)(5)); 9. Reverses America’s “melting pot” tradition by funneling taxpayer dollars to community organizing groups that undermine the patriotic assimilation of new immigrants. 10. Decimates Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an important agency that is responsible for our nation’s interior immigration enforcement. As a result, the Senate amnesty bill is overwhelmingly opposed by ICE officers, who are the ones serving on the front lines to protect our country.
