Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz), Lindsey Graham
(R-SC), and Chuck Schumer (D-NY), are urging Congress not to stop or delay
the Gang of Eight’s immigration reform because of the Boston Marathon
bombings. Sen. Marco Rubio’s spokesman, Alex Conant, warned on Friday, “The
situation in Boston is still developing and it’s too soon to jump to
conclusions, let alone use the tragedy to make political points,” referring
to the Boston Marathon bomber suspects, who were legalized in the U.S.—two
brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, from Russia.
Let’s cut to the chase. If the Gang of Eight’s
so-called immigration reform legislation becomes law, expect the number of
illegal aliens that will be legalized in a broken, crime riddled agency, the
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), to explode.
Everyone from family members, step children, gang members and drunk drivers
are welcome to apply. Moreover, as Crime & Incompetence: Guide to
America’s Immigration Crisis documents, the USCIS can’t process legal
immigrants competently let alone millions of illegal aliens. Even the
Government Accountability Office has warned that the USCIS does not operate
using “best practices.” These are just some of many reasons why this reckless
bill should be scrapped immediately.
Gang of Eight welcomes gang members and drunk drivers
On page 606 of the Gang of Eight’s 844-page
legislation called, “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration
Modernization Act,” under “Subtitle G—Interior Enforcement, Sec. 3701:
Criminal street gangs,” we learn that gang members (with no prior
convictions) can apply for a waiver by simply “renouncing” their associations
with street gangs.
“‘(ii) WAIVER.—The Secretary may waive clause
(i)(II) if the alien has renounced all association with the criminal street
gang, is otherwise admissible, and is not a threat to the security of the
United States (bold mine).’‘
On page 608, drunk drivers are welcome too if
they have only been busted three times before the Gang of Eight’s bill is
enacted.
‘’(J) HABITUAL DRUNK DRIVERS.—An alien
convicted of 3 or more offenses on separate dates, at least 1 of which
occurred after the date of the enactment of the Border Security, Economic
Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, related to driving under the
influence or driving while intoxicated is inadmissible (bold mine).’‘
For illegal aliens who have already been
kicked out of America? No problem if they have only been kicked out twice
(page 614).
‘’(c) REENTRY AFTER REPEATED REMOVAL.—Any
alien who has been denied admission, excluded, deported, or removed 3 or more
times and thereafter enters, attempts to enter, crosses the border to,
attempts to cross the border to, or is at any time found in the United
States, shall be fined under title 18, United States Code, and imprisoned not
more than 10 years, or both (bold mine).
As for Sen. Marco Rubio, the useful idiot, the
new kid on the Washington block, he seems to have quickly become a full blown
liar like his seasoned colleagues. As I have repeatedly reported, despite
what Rubio, and the others, including President Barack Obama, say there are
not 11 million illegal aliens in America. There is no place to count them.
Even if there were such a place, what illegal alien would go there to be
counted? Not many, if any. Therefore whatever the real number of illegal
aliens in America really is, that number will explode as the illegal aliens,
(drunk drivers, and gang members), are all permitted to bring in family
members.
Beginning on p. 59 of the Gang of Eight’s bill
under Title II- Immigrant Visas, Subtitle A—Registration and Adjustment of
Registered Provisional Immigrants, illegal aliens will now be called
“Registered Provisional Immigrant.”
Later on p. 70 we learn:
“(B) FAMILY APPLICATION.—The Secretary shall
establish a process through which an alien may submit a single application
under this section on behalf of the alien, his or her spouse, and his or her
children, who are residing in the United States. ...”
Naturally stepchildren can come too. On page
322, the age for stepchildren has been amended from 18 to 21 years. When did
21-year olds become children? Who cares, it is the more the merrier,
according to the Gang of Eight.
“Sec. 2310. Equal Treatment for All
Stepchildren. Section 101(b)(1)(B) (8 U.S.C. 1101(b)(1)(B)) is amended by
striking ‘‘eighteen years’’ and inserting ‘‘21 years.’’”
Meanwhile, instead of fixing the existing
nonsensical, arbitrary bureaucracy that plagues the broken, crime riddled
USCIS for legal immigrants, the Gang of Eight has made it worse by creating
new categories, bureaucratic nightmares, and quotas out of thin air to add to
the USCIS’s tasks of things to do. The bill creates a merit-based system
green card (merit-based points track I & 2, page 27 & 256), and the
blue card (page 151). The Gang of Eight’s bill is like a bad reality TV show.
How many points do you need to win a green card? You get 10 points if you
speak English (page 262). If you are “in a zone 4 occupation” the alien shall
be “allocated 8 points” (p. 261, line 14, ii) and so forth.
When the Gang of Eight claims that their bill
must be passed because “the [immigration] status quo is unsustainable,” one
must ask: who is responsible for the status quo? America’s leaders are
responsible for the status quo. It’s their fault. It’s the Gang of Eight’s
fault.
Had Republican and Democrat administrations
(Bush, Clinton, Bush and now Obama), Congress and the federal government done
their jobs and enforced America’s immigration laws, secured the borders, and
had an immigration agency, USCIS, that wasn’t an anti-legal immigration,
lawless, arbitrary, incompetent agency that creates illegal aliens, there
would be no immigration crisis—hence the status quo. This is a false talking
point that plays politics with immigration. It’s despicable considering how
immigration affects America’s national security and economy. The status quo
could change tomorrow beginning with enforcing existing laws and securing the
border. Look no further for proof than at the lawsuit filed by Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents against the Department of Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and ICE chief John Morton. ICE agents are
forbidden to do their jobs. They aredisciplined for doing their jobs. As the
Associated Press reported, “Their political superiors are ordering them to
violate federal law,” said Kris Kobach who is representing the ICE agents.
Need more proof? Go to court houses around the
country and look up writ of mandamus. Do not be deceived by the Gang of
Eight. The Ponzi-scheme run USCIS can’t do their job properly either thanks
to Washington’s failed leadership.
Indeed the Gang of Eight, who already has
failed America by sanctioning lawlessness, has failed again by crafting an
immigration bill that will make the immigration crisis worse. Dangerously so.
Get the truth about the immigration crisis
here. Read it and weep.
The gang of eight includes four Democrats and
four Republicans—Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Bob
Menendez (D-N.J.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Lindsey
Graham (R-S.C.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.).
