That's why they called them "Z" visas --- because they wanted a letter as far away as possible from the dreaded letter "A" for "Amnesty" ----

Z VISA translates into instant legalizations. They will create a huge bureaucratic backlog and mess during which ALL DEPORTATIONS WILL CEASE while the paperwork is being sorted out for the next twenty years

 

Don't Be Fooled (on this immigration bill) by Heather MacDonald

Don't Be Fooled [Heather Mac Donald]

Republican supporters of the Senate’s latest amnesty bill are trying to distract voters by dangling before them the requirements for an illegal alien to become a citizen or purchase a green card. These requirements make this bill a tough, no-cave-in reform, proponents say, that responds to the public’s outrage over immigration law-breaking. Don’t be fooled. Prerequisites to citizenship or permanent residency status are irrelevant to whether this bill rewards law-breaking or will encourage more in the future. Its key feature is rather that illegal aliens, according to press reports, can immediately have their illegal status wiped away with a temporary-residency permit, available virtually upon demand. That’s it. The rest is noise. Whether or not one has to show English proficiency and a knowledge of civics to become a citizen is irrelevant from an illegal alien’s perspective; a minute proportion of illegal or even legal Mexican and Central American immigrants come here with the desire to become citizens. The naturalization rate among qualified Hispanics has traditionally been negligible compared to other national groups; it started rising only when Congress required citizenship to receive welfare benefits.

There is no ambiguity about the effects of amnesty. Everywhere they have been introduced—including in Europe—they have brought in their train a new flood of illegals. This latest bill will do the same.

That Saxby Chambliss would so gleefully jump on board with this bill is downright disappointing. I had high hopes for him at one time.

I've been attempting to fax Mel, bill nelson & Vern Buchanan since last night.
They have either turned off their fax machines, or they are being overwhelmed with messages.
I've tried Buchanans Sarasota fax # also, but I only get a message stating his office hours.

Those Ba$$turd$ are ducking us....

What we should keep in mind is that the Senate is an elite club and that only a select group of people make it into that club. Once there, they are beholden to no one other than themselves. We certainly don't count. Why should we, we are not a part of the club. It's like high school with the coolest kids all belonging to a clique. You might find yourself sitting next to one in English class and he/she might talk to you occasionally, but it's usually to get last night's homework. Otherwise, they wouldn't be seen dead hanging with you. Well, we are on the outside looking in, and they couldn't care less what we want or think. By the time most of them are up for re-election most Americans will have forgotten this anyway.

I was so discouraged yesterday. I saw a group of neighbors gathered in a group, and I had hoped that they were discussing immigration, but no, they were talking about the weather and the additional gasoline tax our county wants to impose. When I brought up this immigration bill all of them shrugged their shoulders and the general consensus was, "Oh well, they're already here might as well let them stay." Everyone was against it, but no one seemed willing to do anything about it. We're finished.

I would like to know how much different is this one from the one during the election Bush said he would not sign?

I pray the senate gets it togather!

I was on an Irish site last evening and they were discussing this immigration bill. The are an estimated 500,000 to 750,000 illegal Irish in this country. The advice from the Irish embassy was for the illegals to file for th "Z" visa as soon as possible. So the Irish embassy knows that there are Irish here illegally and are offering to assist their citizens to break our laws. Finally, one poster pointed out the hypocrisy. They assist their citizens to break our laws but demand that illegals be deported from Ireland. I thought this is mind boggling. Why is it that every country in this world thinks it has the right to invade ours? Round them up and send them the hell home, where ever home maybe.

The message sent by the picture does not portray the mirth, the joy, the levity, the laughter, the heady success, it would seem exists. Rather it sends a chilling message of blissful ignorance, outright treason, arrogance beyond belief, and willful destruction of everything an American might hold dear. If they succeed, in their mission, only God knows what awaits. Somehow excited doesn’t seem to explain how I feel about the future.

If there are that many Irish then the illegal alien numbers must be over 25 million

We've come a long way since the 1920's, when Congress actually tried to put limits on legal immigration. Now they won't even try to limit illegal immigration.

"“The United States of America, a nation great in all things, is ours today. To whom will it belong tomorrow? . . . The United States is our land. If it was not the land of our fathers, at least it may be, and it should be, the land of our children. We intend to maintain it so. The day of unalloyed welcome to all people, the day of indiscriminate acceptance of all races, has definitely ended.” —Representative Albert W. Johnson (R-PA)
