Yesterday, the Senate passed the immigration bill that was put together by the “Gang of Eight.” The bill is over 1200 pages and virtually no one has read the entire bill. You know how that worked out for us with Obamacare. Over the next few months, we will find out about all kinds of things hiding inside this bill. Senator Ted Cruz has already turned up one loophole that should be offensive to every American. He found a provision in the bill that imposes a penalty, “on U.S. employers for hiring U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents. This bill says if an employer hires a citizen or a legal immigrant, the IRS can impose a $5,000 penalty on that employer. But if the employer instead hires someone with RPI [registered provisional immigrant] status, that penalty will go away. That is utterly and completely indefensible.” he went on to talk about the outcome this provision will cause, “Nobody in this body wants to see African-American unemployment go up. Nobody wants to see Hispanic unemployment go up, youth unemployment go up, union household unemployment go up, legal immigrant unemployment go up. Yet every one of those will happen if this Gang of Eight bill passes without fixing this problem.” Every Democrat in the Senate voted for the bill that provides defacto amnesty for millions of illegal aliens with only empty promises about border security. Here are 14 Republicans who joined them: Lamar Alexander •Kelly Ayotte • Jeffrey Chiesa •Susan Collins •Bob Corker •Jeff Flake • Lindsay Graham • Orrin Hatch • Dean Heller • John Hoeven • Mark Kirk • John McCain • Lisa Murkowski • Marco Rubio Take a moment right now to send an email to both of your US Senators and thank them if they voted against the bill or share your outrage with them for voting for it. Take Action Central on our website makes it easy to contact both in just a couple of minutes. Let me also encourage you to post this information on your Facebook or Twitter and share it with your friends, neighbors, people at your church, or wherever you can. If our legislators don’t hear from constituents now, it will make it that much easier to pass in the House. Sincerely in Christ, Kerby Anderson, Host Point of View
