The Dhimmicrats and the Lame Stream Media are all agog at this latest empty suit, flash-in-the-pan coming from the Left. They say that he is clean politically, has a clean slate, etc, etc, ad barfdom. Well guess what?
Obama was one of the weasels that voted FOR the Senate Amnesty Bill which passed in May 2006. (It's up to the House to kill this trash.)
Here is what Obama voted for:
-
The LARGEST amnesty in our history. ILLEGAL aliens who have been in the U.S. for more than 5 years would be given citizenship and those who have been here between 2 and 5 years would receive foreign worker cards with a path to citizenship. Any illegals here LESS THAN two years would just pack up and go home. (Yeah right!) In addition, this bill ALLOWS THE USE OF PAY STUBS AND UTILITY BILLS to prove how long illegal aliens have been in the U.S.. CAN YOU SPELL S*C*A*M!?
-
Amnesty now, enforcement...NEVER. The Senate abandons the House's enforcement-first approach in favor of granting massive amnesty now and phasing in security and enforcement provisions over time. The same chronology was used in 1986. Twenty years later, more than 10 million illegal aliens have entered the U.S. and law enforcement has been negligible.
-
THE FLOOD CONTINUES! The Heritage Foundation estimated last week that the Senate plan would result in 66 million additional legal immigrants into the U.S. over the next 20 years.
-
Minimal interior enforcement. The Senate bill does not overturn so-called sanctuary city policies that purposefully violate federal law by refusing to assist law enforcement on immigration matters. It allows unscrupulous employers to pay no back taxes and no fines or penalties for hiring illegal aliens (even though the illegal aliens are forced to pay their own back taxes). And the bill provides numerous new benefits for illegal aliens including the right to Social Security benefits and taxpayer-subsidized tuition rates at colleges and universities.
Bottom Line: Renounce your citizenship and become an illegal. You'll be better off.
Dana Rohrbacher's analysis of this BULLSH*T!
-
In-state tuition for illegal aliens. Your kid has to pay full freight if they cross state lines, but the illegal alien who broke into the country doesn't.
-
All temporary guest workers have to be paid the prevailing wage. American citizens do not have to be paid prevailing wage.
-
All agricultural guest workers under this bill cannot be fired by their employers except for what the bill calls "just cause." However, American agricultural workers can be fired for any reason.
-
Illegal aliens are made eligible for Social Security. Not only will they receive retirement benefits, but their children will receive survivor benefits should the parents pass away. This is at a time when we are trying to keep Social Security solvent for the next generation.
-
Expands the visa lottery program, which is itself a questionable way to make visa distribution decisions.
-
Employers of illegal aliens get amnesty, too. Employers would be exempt from civil and criminal tax and criminal liability under immigration law. God forbid we hold employers accountable for helping illegal aliens break the law and being the magnet that has drawn them here for years.
-
Taxpayer dollars to radical immigrant-rights groups so they can help illegal aliens adjust their status. Millions of your tax dollars will go to the same groups that organized those rallies where people who came here illegally waved foreign flags and thumbed their noses at our laws.
Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) lists his top ten reasons for voting against it (see his website (http://demint.senate.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressReleases.Detail&PressRelease_id=380) for supporting details):

Creates Temporary Worker Program That is Neither Temporary Nor Work-Based
-
Unprecedented Wave of Immigrants — 66 Million Over 20 Years
-

-

What the human locust leave behind for US to
clean up!
