I am posting a few paragraphs below. This article is stunning and the details that you need to know are easily laid out for you to grasp. The scandals of late are distracting us from this crucial and very dangerous bill. Rubio has betrayed his base. He and the rest of the gang of eight worked behind closed doors without input from the groups they should have listened to.
"The Immigration bill is constructed to deceive the public. And, does a good job of creating the false illusion of greater security. But Rubio’s claim of enforcement ‘triggers’ is a dishonest argument. His amnesty scheme is chock full of deception with many behind the scene maneuvers all designed to obfuscate truth. The bill makes America less safe, not more.
Rubio’s scheme allows illegal aliens to be legalized immediately. All at a huge cost to the US taxpayer [Note] and sovereignty of our nation. Like Obamacare, the legislation was crafted behind closed doors with pro-amnesty lobbyists, unions, immigration lawyers, and Progressive groups like La Raza representing illegal aliens. Groups that stand to make millions from this legislation.
The Gang of Eight prohibited anyone with a significantly different opinion on immigration reform from providing input. Law enforcement: border sheriffs, interior sheriffs, deputies and immigration agents, and the ICE Union President were all locked out of discussions. (There is much more in the article)
These are but a few of the important details we need to know. Please, contact your representatives to discuss this bill!!!
- same chain migration provisions extended to family outside US at DHS discretion.
- DREAM fast-track amnesty with NO age cap allows citizenship in five years.
- makes legal immigrants eligible for subsidized Obamacare upon arrival. Costly.
- has over 400 waivers, exceptions, and exclusions. Enormous power given to DHS.
- gives DHS Sec. virtually unlimited discretion to waive any manner of crimes.
- grants amnesty to criminals and gang members. Easier for criminal ‘catch & release’.
- requires taxpayers to foot the bill for illegals to fight deportation.
- provides protection for illegal identity thieves, but no restitution for victims.
