Law enforcement authorities characterize the mostly-illegal-immigrant gang MS-13 (now operating in at least 42 states) as the most violent, hardest to deal with in the country. And small wonder. This al-Qaeda collaborating monstrosity, which specializes in brutal murders and mutilations, is excedingly difficult to win convictions against, as perhaps its overriding tenet is the systematic murder of witnesses.
One would assume that the elmination of this unprecedented national plague would be one of the primary goals of any immigration "reform" package. Sorry. Specifically written into the bill about to be ramrodded through our Democrat/RINO congress is a provision allowing identified MS-13 (and copycat gang) members to stay, provided they promise to stop "banging." How reassuring.
As for other criminals, some 600,000+ violators of specific deportation orders (how trusting of our government not to have escorted these invaders out in the first place) will be allowed to stay, as per another provision. ...This according to a recent analysis by the incomparable Phyllis Schlafly, as confirmed by Heritage Foundation researcher par excellence Robert Rector.
Rector's calculations show a $2,400,000,000,000.00 cost to Social Security alone. He affirms that there is no way "América" will be able to avoid bankruptcy under this bill.
Schlafly adds that the 400,000 per year in new "guest workers" doubles the amount authorized in last year's abominal bill, which died on the vine. Plus chain immigration will increase from 250,000 to around 900,000 annually.
Last week the Senate defeated two modest, common sense amendments that aimed to limit the devastation. One would have cut off this massive guest worker program after five years, while the other simply would have put one or two teeth into the trumpeted "internal enforcement" aspect of the bill, by allowing police and government workers to enquire into the immigration status of those with whom they come in contact.
With this latter provision deep sixed (and with the 700-mile fence authorized last year cut way back, and with border guardians facing the virtually certain prospect of jail any time they use force to do their jobs), the legislation amounts to nothing more than unconditional amnesty, along with an opening of the floodgates to even larger waves than the claimed 12-20,000,000 (and more likely 30-50,000,000 and up) invaders already here.
And, as all that is necessary to qualify for this amnesty is to get two people to state that the given intruder was here as of 1/1/07, in Rector's view (and mine) this is carte blanche for future mass invasions. Anyone - now matter how late their actual arrival - that won't be able to get two friendly, willing liars to swear to a pre-'07 presence would have to have the interpersonal skills of a Rosie O'Donnell with acid reflux breath.
Not to mention the lack of requirement for a medical exam (for these folks bringing in everything from drug-resistant tuberculosis to malaria to leprosy to polio to bubonic plague to bizarre desert diseases that heven't been named yet). Nor the mere 24 hours our officials (who couldn't find anything on the Fort Dix illegals in 24 years) have to do background checks on 20 million illegals (or they get their Z-cards by default).
Nor the fact that the bill madates taxpayer-financed lawyers for those fighting deportation in the future. Nor that the "triggers" claim (that no Z visas will be issued until certain border security benchmarks are reached) is an utter fabrication.
Nor the draconian anti-2nd Amendment clauses that will label any gun shop that commits two typos in its sales documents - or any family of 5 that passed with a half mile of a school with a legal gun in the glove box - as a "gun gang." Nor all the other liberty-crushing and/or America bankrupting planks already discovered (or not discovered) in this 1,000 page nightmare...
Wait till all these América haters get suffrage (also via the bill), and no longer have to take advantage of the Motor Voter Law (which a Republican qua RINO president with two GOP-led houses of congress was too polite to try to repeal) to exercise that franchise ilegally (several times each?). Then we'll really be singing "to the left, to the left..."
