"Ted Cruz Exposes the Amnesty Bill… $5000 Penalty for Hiring Citizens Over Legalized Aliens… SERIOUSLY!!!"
We can’t possibly expect our Senators to read a 1200 page bill before voting on it. Can we? Well Thank God Ted Cruz read it. Not only did Cruz read it but he schooled anyone who would listen from the Senate floor on Tuesday. Cruz found a loophole that actually penalizes an employer $5000 for hiring a citizen over a legalized alien. Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up. Senator Cruz was quoted as saying:
“I filed an amendment that would have corrected one of the most egregious aspects of the gang of eight bill as it intersects with Obamacare legislation, namely a penalty imposed on U.S. employers for hiring U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents. This bill says if an employer hires a citizen or a legal immigrant, the IRS can impose a $5,000 penalty on that employer. But if the employer instead hires someone with RPI status, that penalty will go away. That is utterly and completely indefensible.”

"We did not read the bill because we can't read."
Well, they passed it anyway. Idiots.
The bill is in cursive!!!!
treasonous
I saw some of her testimony. Either she is the biggest liar on the planet, or the dumbest woman on the planet. Take your pick. Makes me wonder what Trayvon was talking to her about for 3 1/2 hours the day he died? It sure wasn’t to pick her brain.
LOL ... do you speak Creole?
Why hasn’t the RNC found out who inserted this “provision” and named them in attack ads?
This is the type of thing that the RNC needs to start doing. The left is going to keep stepping over the line until they get their tows cut off.
The RNC has a very unique anniversary coming up - 2015 is the 150th of the freeing of the slaves - BY A REPUBLICAN. They need to create ads with not only that, but outline who was for and against the civil rights acts of the 1960’s. Show names, faces and political party. But they will do nothing of the sort.
That woman is a typical, functionally illiterate, American.
And she probably votes more than once.
That’s just 1 of the many evils in this stupid bill.
others are bringing in untold millions of 3rd world immigrants , 3rd world workers,asylum seekers, relative of the amnestied etc., at least 80 million 3rd world immigrants
Tancredo shows only way to stop it:

Yet, guys like Mike Savage ignorantly ask where Ted Cruz has been on this last night. Savage, pay attention and stop eating our best conservatives! Bob
your right, this jack a** should be called out (and before this bill was passed)!
This idiot should have been whisked away in handcuffs, along with the whole prosecution team. Bob
And who is going to stop it in the House? Mr. “Crying game” Boehner?
Yeah right...
We’ll be lucky to make it to Christmas without outright war breaking out.
savage also bashed Palin, always bashes Republicans, Cruz etc.
savage is a democrat/socialist mole
What exactly is RPI status? Repatriated Immigrant?
And, we had 68 American Senators vote for this bill which HURTS American citizens!
America is alive within our hearts, but not within her borders.
We’ll be lucky to make it to Christmas without outright war breaking out.
I now view about 50% of the zombies I see every day as the enemy.
There is a pent up anger and it’s going to go “boom” one way or another.
