Specter Bill May be Largest Single Immigration Increase in U.S. History

Giant Amnesty Puts Economic Special Interests Before Security and Lives of American Workers Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) has put forward a 305 page bill for next week's Judiciary Committee consideration that can only be described as a nightmare for American workers and a dream come true for the Chamber of Commerce. Listen to a special audio message from FAIR President Dan Stein about this bill. (MP3 format)

If you are employed in any job in virtually any industry and think your job is secure, think again. The number of guest workers permitted in this bill is unlimited and available to every sector of the U.S. economy. No job will be spared unfair competition from cheap foreign workers and employers chomping at the bit to reduce labor costs.

The bill is divided into several sections. Here's a preview:

Title I Border Security

Increases in border and customs personnel are provided, but those increases depend on future congressional decisions to allocate resources. Translation-It may never happen. Border surveillance is promised on the basis of a provision calling for a plan to be developed. Translation-It may never happen. Border security is promised on the basis of a provision calling for development of a strategy. Translation-It may never happen. North American security is promised based on a provision calling for cooperation from Mexico and Canada and a report. Translation-It may never happen. Entry-Exit system is to collect biometrics from all entering and exiting immigrants, but no provision makes this mandatory. Translation-It may never happen. Border fencing between the U.S. and Mexico is promised based on a feasibility study. Translation-It may never happen. Title II Removal and Denial of Benefits to Terrorists

Terrorists ineligible for asylum. Increased penalties for alien smuggling. Strengthen penalties for marriage fraud. Extends program to remove criminal aliens at the conclusion of their prison terms. These provisions are needed, yet they are so obviously needed it is hard to understand why they haven't already been enacted. To ask the American public to accept all that is wrong with this legislation on the basis of these provisions is absurd. Title III Worksite Enforcement

Requires employer use of electronic employment verification system for new employees only. Translation-Currently employed illegal aliens will remain undetected. Title IV Nonimmigrant and Immigrant Visa Reform

Guest workers Unlimited in number annually and available to all economic sectors Translation-Say good bye to the middle class. Family members/dependents may accompany new guest workers. Translation-Even more competition for your jobs and greater likelihood that they will never return to their home country. Guest worker visas for three years and renewable once for a total of six years. These workers are then required to return home for one year before reapplying for another six years. Translation - if they were working illegally before, why would they not stay and revert to illegal status? Protections for American workers are no stronger than an employer's promise that he first looked for American workers. Translation-No protections for U.S. workers. Legal immigration New visa created for students seeking advanced science degrees with a fast track to legal permanent residency status. Exempts aliens with advanced degrees from the annual numerical cap. Exempts relatives of employment-based visas from the annual cap. Professional workers Increases the H-1B high tech guest worker program from 65,000 to 115,000 annually, a 71 percent increase and exempts all advanced degree holders from the annual cap. Translation-Tell your children to forget about pursuing advanced science degrees, because those jobs will be closed to all but cheap foreign workers. Title V Families United and Backlog Reduction

More than doubles employment based green cards and exempts their relatives from the annual cap. Title VI Conditional Nonimmigrant Workers

Amnesty All illegal aliens may apply to become guest workers if they merely promise they have been in the U.S. and employed illegally since before January 1, 2004. Window for application lasts for 12 months from enactment. Translation-Virtually all 11-13 million illegal aliens and their family members may participate. Grant Programs Provides assistance for nonprofit organizations to recruit illegal aliens into the amnesty guest worker program. Translation-Fraud in the application process for this amnesty is facilitated. Title VII Immigration Litigation Reduction

Consolidates immigration appeals in one federal circuit court. Additional immigration judges and court personnel are added subject to future appropriations decisions. Here's How You Can Help!

Call Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter's office (202) 224-4254 and let him know what you think of his war on the American worker.

FAIR will provide a complete bill analysis and very soon.

I think this slime bag was the one who spawn the "Single Bullit" theory in the JFK assassination? The fact that he is still a Senator doesn't say much for the people who have kept him there.

Just proves that Specter is a freemason first and an American second. The Scottish law defense of Bill Clinton in the impeachment was probably a sutle reference to the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Back in the 1920s, you had to be a Freemason to be a Railroad Engineer or Conductor.

Sounds like freemasonry wants to enslave the workforce again...

Specter has been so out of line with regular conservative interests, and this bill is going to be so unpopular with rank and file conservatives, you have to wonder if he's trying to create a mid-term disaster for Republicans by doing this. Of course, the free market/cheap labor crowd won't be quite quick enough to see this trojan horse for what it is.

When you say "the people who kept Specter there", don't forget to include our President in that list.

Didn't our president go out of his way to help this as get re-elected?
He should go to an insane asylum instead.
Oh, he's a senator so he is in an insane asylum.

You're right. There was a conservative Republican challenging him and the administration threw its full support behind Specter. But, Bush isn't without blame on the borders issue. He seems move interested in Hispanic votes than national security.

Hi RWP!

So, what's your take on the bill? Are you in favor because it gives you more grad students?

Cheers!

He sure was and he's been living in a fantasy world ever since.

In my mind, he's more interested in appeasing his big business buddies who fund the RNC and Republican candidates. It's all about the dollar, he's rich and doesn't care about the people or our nation, he cares about his friends who need cheap labor.

If our legislature passes this Bill, and the President signs it, we need to impeach him and then clean out the Houses by any means necessary!

Is he corrupt, delusional, on the side of the terrorists, and/or merely hates this country? In any case, he appears to be the enemy.

Can Senators be impeached or recalled? All I know or\f is that they can be "censored" (whatever that means).

Again I call for a revived Un-American Activities Committee to deal with the ever-lengthening list of traitors needing its attention.
