SO now our beloved Senators are singing the praises of their great compromise on immigration reform. Yes, they've struck a deal and they're confident that their deal will become law. So now the illegal immigrants will finally be given the amnesty that they so desire.
Lindsey Graham and Bill Frist, once strongly vocal about immigration reform, have succomed to the pressure of protest. Senator Graham himself described this deal, with a smile, as a plea bargain. A PLEA BARGAIN! And so that is what our federal law has become. Breaking that law no longer carries consequences, as long as you can gather enough people to wave another country's flag in protest.
The message is clear: break our law...it's OK, maybe one day we'll grant you citizenship. Motivation to immigrate legally? ZERO.
As I predicted, our brave politicians acted in the face of this growing danger on our southern border and have devised a plan that could more accurately be described as gutless, spineless, yellow.
Break the law and avoid getting caught for 5 years = citizenship
Break the law for 2-5 years = identify yourself and THEN get citizenship
Break the law for 2 years = go home and come back and THEN get citizenship
Brilliant!
Politicians will always be politicians...and most politicians these days behave like geldings.
To be an effective leader means that sometimes you have to do things that may not be overwhelmingly popular...our senators have failed to realize this.
Well, at least the latest shows that this poor-excuse for reform may be bogged down...we'll see what happens. But if this passes it can only be viewed as one thing...a sell out.
