SENATE AMNESTY BILL

Senators are calling it legislation that the American people want and need for immigration reform. The White House agrees stating that it grants temporary work status to immigrants who have come to this country looking for a better way of life and wanting to be Americans.

Both the Senate and The White House are WRONG! If this is what the American people want then why has the Senate delayed the vote on this amnesty bill, ( read the bill), because of public out cry?


If the 12 million Illegal Aliens already in this country want to be Americans so badly then why do the vast majority make no indication what so ever of adhering to becoming an American ? They have no interest in our language, our culture or our heritage. In fact they protest in the streets demanding that we change our culture to match their Mexican back ground. Many are demanding that the Southwestern United States become a separate Mexican nation. If they are so interested in becoming Americans then why do they send 90 billion dollars annually back to Mexico?

Websters Dictionary defines amnesty as,

1. a period during which offenders are exempt from punishment

2. pardon: a warrant granting release from punishment for an offense

3. the formal act of liberating someone

4. grant a pardon to (a group of people)

Each definition describes the Z visa provisions found within the Senate Bill that is being called, "comprehensive immigration reform." Every illegal in this country has violated standing United States law for entering this country therefor by any definition they are criminals who have violated the law and this legislation is giving each of them amnesty from that violation!

Section 601 of the Senate Bill states, "the Secretary, (of Homeland Security), shall permit an alien, or dependent of of such alien, described in this section to remain lawfully in The United States under the conditions set forth in this title "

Now for the kicker concerning the eligibility of illegal aliens for the Z Visa and their status in this country in violation of the law. Section 601 subheading 3 defines the physical presence of an alien eligible for the Z Visa. It states in paragraph C of that subheading, "application for Z non immigrant status, NOT PRESENT IN LAWFUL STATUS in The United States under any classification described in section 101 of the Immigration and Naturalization act."

The bill actually requires eligibility for the Z Visa the unlawful presence of illegal aliens in this country. Under any description of any definition this is amnesty as the Z Visa requires the violation of current immigration laws in order for applicants to receive the visa.

Yet the Senate and The White House deny this fact. They refuse to admit that the bill is an amnesty program nor that it grants illegals full social security benefits, education loans and social and medical services.

Supporters of this amnesty bill claim that participants will not have a fast track to citizenship as a defense for this massive program. Why would they need it ? The Z Visa allows them to work and live in this country for eight years receiving all of the benefits of a United States citizen.

Additionally the Heritage Foundation has released statistics dating fiscal year 2004 showing that low wage immigrant households in The United States cost the tax payers 90 billion dollars each year in social services, medical expenses, education and low income housing. These are legal documented workers. The Z Visa amnesty bill will allow the 12 million illegals, legal status which equates to 4.5 million additional households or an additional 90 billion dollars in taxpayers dollars.

Add this to the 90 billion that illegals already send to Mexico and the net cost to the American economy for this amnesty program based on 2004 statistics is 180 BILLION DOLLARS.

No matter how it is spun by politicians, the media or immigrant advocates, the Senate amnesty bill grants legal amnesty status to 12 million illegal aliens who have violated our laws, created a tremendous burden on our economy, refused to in the smallest way adhere to our culture and continually demand that we who are legal citizens of this country adapt and conform to their culture and accept their way of life.

This is the result of government being taken from the people and handed to the politician. We can still make our voice heard until it echos through the halls of Congress demanding that our Representatives end this madness and force employers, and illegal aliens to obey our laws.

Closing down just one major manufacturing company that employs illegals will force others to take notice and stop. Shutting down on e major agricultural operation that employs illegals will force the others to reconsider their employment practices.

How do we control the illegal invasion in our country ? First CLOSE THE BORDERS! Then stop the demand for cheap illegal labor by enforcing current employment laws and shut down several major companies who employ illegals and the rest will take notice. As the jobs dry up illegals will stop entering our country and those here will go home to Mexico. Enforcing law is the answer NOT AMNESTY!
