Re: Senate Immigration Reform Bill
I thought it was important to make you aware that I do not support the immigration reform legislation recently introduced in the Senate. It is seriously flawed and includes provisions that would amount to a virtual amnesty for people who are in our country illegally, which some estimate to be 12 million people or more.
I do not support amnesty. Amnesty is an insult to all the law-abiding immigrants who have been waiting in line patiently and legally for their immigration number to come up. Such an amnesty would only intensify an already significant immigration problem and overwhelm our already overburdened social services and law enforcement systems.
When the House considered major immigration reform legislation in 1986, I voted to strike a provision in the bill to grant amnesty to those who had entered the country illegally. When that amendment failed, I voted against the House bill that included a legalization provision which subsequently became law. Judging from the immigration situation now in our country, I do not believe any fair minded person would call that legalization program a success.
It is critical that we get control of our borders as the first priority for any immigration reform effort. We also must do a better job enforcing the laws that are already on the books.
I hope this information is helpful.

‘one’s a RINO, the other is a clown’
Sounds like a circus, anyway, glad the clown or RINO is taking a stand.
Frank Wolf (my rep) is, however.
Like it, but would have changed this line
...Amnesty is an insult to all the law-abiding immigrants

IT’S AN INSULT TO AMERICANS.
Correction, your right, glad Wolf is taking a stand.
Frank Wolf has been my representitve since before I was even born. The guy is a good man, a man of honor and integrity. And he knows his roots. I have casts more votes for this man in my life then I have for any other man or woman for any other office. This makes me proud that I have.
Punctuated with a loogie... right between our eyes.
Most are against (including Davis), some REALLY against. Strangely, Moran's staffer (I was redistricted to him years ago) seemed interested in the "against" position and engaged in a brief but very civil debate.
Call your Senators as well, and don't forget to leave a message at the RNC if they're still bunkered in and using an answering machine on the comments line.
