Loophole in Gang of 8 bill gives Napolitano wide discretion to allow almost anyone to stay in U.S.
Legal Insurrection ^ | June 22, 2013 | Professor William A. Jacobson

One of the things I learned from Obamacare was that each section of the law could take many hours to understand because of cross-references to other sections and other laws. Amendments make the problem even greater.

Put that problem into a 1000+ page bill, and it is almost impossible to uncover all the mischief — intentional and unintentional — buried in the language, something we are learning after the fact with Obamacare.

The rush to pass the Gang of 8 1000+ page bill is another example. As if that weren’t bad enough to start, Sen. Bob Corker last night unveiled his 1190-page amendment, and Harry Reid is rushing the first test vote to Monday. We have seen this movie before.

There is one provision which has not received a lot of press.

Yesterday Dana Loesch had a series of tweets about a section of the original Gang of 8 bill giving the Secretary of Homeland Security almost complete discretion to waive all other provisions of the law as to removal, deportation and inadmissibility.

It took me many hours to run that down and confirm. And I have done so.

This is extremely dense material. I’ve extracted and uploaded sections 3214 and 3215 from the May 28 version of the bill (the most recent listed on the Thomas website) along with the Corker amendment (3214 and 3215) as to these sections (which did not change anything relevant to this discussion) so you can read them yourself. The text references 8 U.S.C. 1182.

Here is the key provision, as part of section 3214(b) dealing with family unification. The section gives the Secretary discretion to waive the provisions as to removal, deportation and inadmissibility.... ---snip---

But, if a conservative is elected president in 2016 and he or she selects a conservative Sec of Homeland Security there would be no waivers.

How many other ‘nuggets’ are in this Bill??? Has any supporting Republican actually read this??? It is more and more clear that the American way of life is over. Goodbye to our beloved USA, may she rest in peace.

Obama and his gang of jackbooted fascist thugs now run the country. We don’t need no steenking constitution. Nor a steenking congress.

The bill will be challenged in the court on day 1 and a federal judge, Clinton or Obama appointee, will immediately grant full citizenship rights to everyone under the bill. The bill is unconstitutional on purpose. You can't create second class citizens. So as soon as the bill passes, all of Rubio's "penalties" will be challenged in court immediately.

If I had to guess I would bet that the democrats working on the bill have already shopped for a judge and intentionally put in the language which will allow the bill to grant instantaneous voting rights to 11+ million illegals potentially before 2014 but certainly before 2016.

And, according to our loyal GOP Senators, this is "a good idea"?

I'm thinking any Republican Senator who votes for the Gang of 8 bill needs to be primaried.

Considering that it has been a quarter century since a conservative was last elected President, I don't believe the risk is worth it.

We can't risk it. Keep in mind that GWB ran as a conservative and he started a lot of this stuff Obama followed through on.

Add to that the ptb in the Republican Party would rather have a dem win than cede power to real conservatives. Fact is, if we can't clean house and get rid of the Cheap Labor faction that controls the party, it'll keep getting worse.

Well, we need to trust in the Lord. Any situation is exploitable by evil no matter how nicely framed in a worldly point of view.

I was thinking of GWB myself. He was more worldly minded. Conservatism itself will fail as badly as liberalism if it forgets God or only gives God ceremonial salutes. Because this is God’s game, not ours with God to decorate it.
