Immigration Reform Bill

Well, wake up America, they are about ready to do it again!

Our 11% approval rate legislature will probably get a bill passed in the senate that looks like a 1000 slices of swiss cheese. Hopefully our House of Representatives will not kowtow to this attempt to bamboozle all of us.

A few thoughts from the grumpy old man:

In my previous blog, I brought up a few of the facts and myths about border security.  Please read that post if you have not already.

Here are some more thoughts:

Our govt. is quick to push numbers at us that are completely false, such as our under 8% unemployment rate and others of the same ilk.  When they say there are 11 million undocumented workers (read that as illegal aliens) I just want to know how they figured that out.  Did they all sign their name on a document as they sneaked (or walked across boldly in our section of Arizona) across the border?  Our CBO just put out another dream number of how many billions the new bill will bring in when all these people start paying taxes.

With the proposed "path to citizenship" requiring that illegals register, pay fines, pay back taxes, pass a background check, then wait ten years to obtain legal status, how many people do you think will take that route?  How many employers that utilize illegal labor to be competitive in their market will take on the burden of extra payroll and medicare taxes, and also Obamacare?

AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!

And don't get me started on the wall!  See the picture in my previous post of our border in this part of AZ. We have a big wall for a few miles then it changes back to barbed wire.  Whenever they take our senators and congressmen to see the border, its not the three strands of wire!

WAKE UP and tell your rep that we want 99% verifiable  security before legalization occurs.  AND we want a bill that deals strictly with that before even thinking about a new immigration law.  Just enforce the ones that we already have!
