Stealth Attack to gain Amnesty for Criminal Immigrants

Last year, I kicked off this blog for a number of reasons. A big one was to discuss the criminal immigrant situaiton, and the horrible political plans to deal with it.

Back then, a majority of Americans came together and voiced their displeasure at what our politicians were intending to do: grant amnesty in one form or other to a bunch of people in our country illegally. In other words, law breakers.

Well, right now, the Senate is debating the most recent spending authorization for our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Regardless of how you feel about the wars, and I unabashedly support them, I think it is just dead wrong to attach amnesty (or anything not related to spending for the war) to this bill. Our policians on both sides of the isle, are loading this bill with pork and other spending. And, apparently they are pushing ahead with the hope that most Americans won't notice or will notice too late.

This wouldn't happen if the "Read the Bills" legislation were the law of the land. This legislation would mandate that our elected officials actually read the bills, and that they would be posed on the web for 7 days so we lowly citizens could read it, too.

But, that is not now the case.

Still, we citizens can once again mobilize to tell our employees in congress that WE STILL SAY NO TO AMNESTY FOR THOSE IN OUR COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. Period.

I urge you to call your Senator's office now. Have all your relatives and friends do the same. Remind them you will not forget them at the ballot box if they go against the will of the people.

You can find their contact information by clicking here: US Senate.

This webpage has more detail about what is going on in Washington as I type this. I urge you to check it out.

For me, it is as simple as this: Our elected officials have sworn to uphold the constitution and the laws of our land. Criminal immigrants are, by definition, illegally in our country. They broke the law to come in, and continue to break it every day they stay. There is no way our elected officials can morally or ethically reconcile that with support for amnesty. WE SHOULDN'T LET THEM TRY! Get involved. If this bill goes through with these attachments, the President should be supported in a VETO.
