Send this to the White House.

A few comments on illegal immigration:



Rep. James Sensenbrenner, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Houston Chronicle, Saturday

"The Senate and House started miles apart (on the immigration bill), and as a result of some amendments that were offered in the Senate, miles have become moons apart or oceans apart."

~~~~~~~
The same Rep. James Sensenbrenner, on "Meet the Press," Sunday.

"The words 'path to citizenship' is a buzzword for amnesty. We ought to be honest, it is amnesty."

Rep. J.D. Hayworth, Arizona Republican, ripping apart the White House's immigration policy, National Review Online

"Illegal aliens will have to 'pay taxes': That's no penalty; they're supposed to pay taxes. In fact, according to Sen. Chuck Grassley, under Bush's plan illegals would have the option to only have to pay three of their last five years in back taxes.

"They have to 'keep their nose clean' : Big deal. So does everybody else. They have to get a tamper-proof ID card: Oh, the humanity! They'll have to stay employed: But isn't that why they came here, to do jobs Americans won't? They'll have to learn English: That's a benefit to the illegal.

"...Most of these 'benchmarks' would be required of any legal immigrant. They are in no way burdensome, yet (White House spokesman) Tony Snow makes them sound almost oppressive. The only real punishment on the entire list is the fine. Know what it is? A measly $2,000 payable in two $1,000 installments. When you consider what illegals get for their two grand, it's the deal of a lifetime."

Professor Thomas Sowell made this observation:

"Some people are worried that amnesty will give illegal aliens the same rights that American citizens have. In reality, it will give the illegals more rights than the average American citizen. Since most of the illegals are Mexican, that makes them a minority. Under affirmative action, combined with amnesty, they would have preferences in jobs and other benefits. Those who set up their own businesses would be entitled to preferences in getting government contracts. Their children would be able to get into college ahead of the children of American citizens with better academic qualifications."

Ciao.......Moe
