A wake-up call for the Senate
The Washington Times ^ | 06/07/07 | Kris W. Kobac

Unfortunately, the authors of the Kennedy amnesty bill don't see the connection between immigration laws and terrorism. As a result, the bill creates two wide-open doors for alien terrorists. Before looking at these vulnerabilities, consider two things we know about the modus operandi of al Qaeda and other radical Islamic terrorist organizations: (1) they prefer to operate in the United States using the cover of a legal status if possible, and (2) they are adept at fraudulently obtaining legal status. For example, all 19 September 11 hijackers entered the United States legally. They used their passports and visas as breeder documents to obtain 63 driver's licenses. With these valid IDs, they were able to travel openly and board airplanes easily. With legal status, a terrorist can operate with more freedom, secure in the knowledge that a traffic violation won't lead to deportation. He can also exit and re-enter the country, enabling international terrorist networks to support him more easily. The ability of terrorists to obtain legal status by fraudulently applying for amnesty is also well established. ...

These are not isolated cases. A 2005 study by Janice Kephart, counsel to the September 11 commission, found that 59 out of 94 foreign-born terrorists (about two in three) successfully committed immigration fraud to acquire or adjust legal status. So, we know that terrorists will seek amnesty under the Senate bill. Unfortunately, the legislation creates two huge doorways for them to get it.

“we know that terrorists will seek amnesty under the Senate bill. Unfortunately, the legislation creates two huge doorways for them to get it. “

And last night Teddy Kennedy was almost crying insisting that illegal aliens have “confidentiality”

To quote Teddy “they wont come out of the shadows and register if they thought that their info was turned over to LE”

If this travesty passes... with two bills, Edward Moore Kennedy will have accomplished what no foreign power could manage to do in the course of our 231 year history.

Damn his drunken soul to hell!

They want more terrorist acts to happen. It's the only reason why they are pushing this bill.

this is good, where did you get it? Also, It mustn’t have been updated since Hurrican Katrina as it couldn’t possibly correctly reflect the influx of illegals into MS and LA for the reconstruction. I only have imperical evidence but if my neighborhood is any indication and can be extrapolated as a trend then I’d say that this clearly underestimates those numbers.

"To quote Teddy “they wont come out of the shadows and register if they thought that their info was turned over to LE”

Nothing raises my hackles more than that "out of the shadows" crap. They brazenly march en masse' waving Mexican flags, and give interviews on national media. A few days ago I was passed on the freeway by a vehicle full of them that had one of those "pissing kid" decals that said "La Migra." They are not in the shadows, they are in our face, constantly, and I for one am sick of them.

This amnesty bill would be a criminal abomination even if there were not a terrorist on earth.

Yesterday, the US Senate shot down an amenendment that would deny amnesty to convicted criminals, and looking us in the face told us that "It would have excluded too many people."

I'm still seething over that.

Shamnesty on the Senate floor, Day 3 Coburn pushes for full enforcement of existing laws
Reid: "This is the president's bill;" Trent Lott "serves notice"
Coburn amendment fails, 42-54; first cloture vote fails, 33-63
By Michelle Malkin · June 07, 2007 09:48 AM



The Coburn amendment 1311 to require full enforcement of existing immigration laws fails, 42-54. If you are calling Senate offices, you might want to concentrate on these ones:

GOP Sens voting NAY on the Coburn amendment - that is, voting against full enforcement of existing immigration laws: LUGAR, KYL, CRAIG, VOINOVICH, COLLINS, MURKOWSKI, BROWNBACK, HAGEL, STEVENS, DOMENICI, WARNER, SPECTER

Un, Kris, that’s the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill, and let’s not forget it, especially in 2008, when John tries to reconstruct the bridges he’s burned.
