McCain-Kennedy Immigration Bill arises again in all its obscenity

My last post before this was a modification of an earlier post. In it I outlined a radical solution to the immigration problem that cut the political aspects from the equation. Initially I thought the McCain-Kennedy bill was dead, but from the ashes it arises again in a still virulent form.

This 'compromise' is exactly what it says it is. The Democrats compromise, the Republicans compromise, and we get sold a load of crap that is supposed to be a solution to the problem. First off is the issue of these Z-Visas. THe illegals are required to pay a fine to get one. I heard that it was $5000 plus $1500 for processing. Allegedly only so mnay of these would be issued a year, but what is to stop a politician from campaigning on a promise to raise the total number? This also is yet another incentive for illegals to arrive in the USA with money in hand while allowing the federal government yet another endless revenue source.

Another thing this bill trumpets is the "Extra Border Security" that will first be in place beofre the rest of the bill is implemented. The border will not be sealed at all; it will remain as porous as it is now. To think it actually will be sealed off is preposterous. How else will the federal government mine the illegals arrivng for $6500 per person? What ever border security that is put in place will not be enough to contain the massive numbvers of illegals who will have been given a green light to enter the USA at will.

In conclusion, it is apparent to me at least that the federal government can not be depended on to get things done that need to be done. If The current Congress can not do its job, maybe it is time for a change come the first Tuesday in November.
