The Coming Amnesty Disaster (Michelle Malkin)
townhall.com ^ | 1/24/07 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 01/24/2007 3:54:14 AM PST by beyond the sea

Last month, President Bush signed off on a few dog-and-pony illegal immigrant employment raids. Whoop-de-doo. Politically expedient holiday gestures over, the White House is now back to work pushing its long-planned, massive alien amnesty. The state of the borders, green card process and entrance system for visitors and tourists? Porous. Chaotic. Understaffed. And overwhelmed.

But no matter. Mouthing his same old, bogus platitudes about the need to allow "undocumented workers" to do the job Americans won't do (never mind all those Americans who immediately lined up to apply for those meatpacking jobs after the December raids), Bush wants to pile millions of new "guest worker" illegal alien applicants onto the teetering homeland security bureaucracy.

The results will be disastrous. What President Bush didn't mention in the State of the Union address is that every part of the current legal immigrant applicant machinery that would be tasked with implementing the "guest worker" illegal alien amnesty is backlogged and broken.

Last November, congressional investigators reported that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) had lost track of 111,000 files in 14 of the agency's busiest district offices and processed as many as 30,000 citizenship applications last year without the required files.

.............

"It only takes one missing file of somebody with links to a terrorist organization to become an American citizen," Grassley, who is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, noted in The Washington Post. "We can't afford to be handing out citizenship with blinders on."

Or legal status. Multiply that by several million in the case of Bush's guest worker program. Can you spell d-i-s-a-s-t-e-r?

The puppets behave so well because those strings can be so fragile.

I don't understand what has happened. In the 20's when my grandparents came here, they practically had to jump through their own a*&^%)% to get in here and the unacceptable applicants for citizenship were routinely deported. Millions came in legally and were documented.

What has happened?

I've understood the voting reality for some time. The poster I responded to seems to take it as a fact of life and not necessarily wrong. That was my point. Might as well let the Sadrists vote in our elections. Or even worse, the French.

let's see..amnesty would create 20 million new tax payers

Using that figure and considering that they will be able to bring in their families, say of 3 each (low figure) we are now at 60 million new citizens, poor, uneducated needing homes, food, education, health care, etc. Just who is going to pay for this? The 20 million new citizens...no way.

I cannot explain nor understand why politicians of both parties are so interested in allowing Mexican citizens and anyone else who wants to,to walk into our country in unlimited numbers and then march in our streets and tell us they will be taking back "their" land.

The "powerful" have finally gotten to the point where they can deconstrust the USA. To me, there is no other explanation and also there is plenty of evidence.

It's their time.

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., has asked Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez in a letter to suspend plans that would further a proposal known as the "Security and Prosperity Partnership," until Congress has a chance to examine its goals.

Tancredo, “............the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada."

"North American Competitive Council" goes even further, Tancredo said, by recommending "The Secretary of DHS [Department of Homeland Security] … set up a limited short term pass program or otherwise facilitate people who come to the border without documents," and that "... a reasonable grace period should be established at border crossings during which time people without documents are educated about their options and allowed to pass."

SECURITY AND PROSPERITY PARTNERSHIP BACKGROUND

http://www.newswithviews.com/Cuddy/dennis73.htm

2002---David Rockefeller, chairman of the CFR 1970-1985 and Trilateral Commission founder, authors MEMOIRS, in which he remarks: "Some even believe we (Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure---one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." .

It's much more than that. P.C. (and DIVERSITY) is just a tool.

Medical care will be hard to come by. I did forget one major expense that will put the states into a real bind...how many new jails will be needed?

This is the same as "what is the meaning of is?" He can call it earned citizenship, lottery citizenship, no matter what color lipstick he puts on it, it is still a pig...there I go again, what is is?
