Only days after the amnesty-for-illegal-immigrants bill was defeated in the U.S. Senate, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., declared that as soon as 25 of his Republican colleagues pledge to support it he will bring this controversial measure back for another vote.
Trailing clouds of glory from the cheering crowds that greeted him in formerly Communist Albania (where our national media somehow neglected to tell you, today a majority of religious believers are Sunni and Bektashi Muslims), President George W. Bush has returned home.
In the United States, the NBC News-Wall Street Journal Poll this week reported that only 29 percent of Americans support Mr. Bush (but less, only 23 percent, approve of the Democrat-dominated Congress).
Mr. Bush hit the ground running, twisting Republican lawmaker arms to win resurrection and passage of this bill that would grant legal status overnight to America's 12 million, or 20 million or more illegal immigrants.
Why all this pressure to force into law a bill that, according to one recent poll, is opposed by three out of four Americans?
To discover who committed a crime, our legal system asks an ancient Roman question: Cui bono? "Who benefits?"
Will, e.g., a nephew inherit millions because his uncle was murdered?
Asking "Who benefits?" about the immigration bill reveals many special interests that could profit, financially or politically or ideologically, from it becoming law.
Some of these selfish suspects are more obvious than others. By examining a few of the bill's supporters through this lens, some facets of the immigration issue can be seen in new ways.

It certainly isn’t the millions of Americans who have been pushed out of good paying jobs so that their cheap-assed employers could hire illegals knowing that there was no chance of being punished for breaking the law.
Three letters, NAU.
Who profits? Not me. Not most of the people I know. Not the taxpayers who are going to be saddled with this sham, and have to watch while more and more illegals cross the border every year.
The bozos in Washington certainly think they profit. We don’t need a permanent political class in this country. One of my favorite proposals was term limitations.
big government keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Historically, the Democrats have always supported slavery, and it took a Civil War and the Republicans to abolish this vile form of treating our fellow humans.
Who profits from Slavery?
I actually thought there was going to be some insight and analysis in that article. Boy was I wrong.
“Illegal migrant workers are today’s version of Slavery.”
I disagree....
U.S. taxpayers are today’s version of slavery.
Just say NO to Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!
