New Proposed Congressional Bill on Immigration: No Deportation, Pay $500 Fine, Become a U.S. Citizen
A new 700 page Congressional bill by Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill. mimics Obama’s proposed “pathway” for amnesty plan for illegal immigrants: A “fine” for “legal status”:
Gutierrez’s bill would allow immigrants who are in the country illegally to stay while they apply to become legal residents or citizens. Undocumented immigrants would have to pay a $500 fine and show that they have made a contribution to the country through their work, education, military or community service.
The legislation also calls for the repeal of the controversial 287(g) program, which enlists local police and sheriff’s deputies to enforce federal immigration laws. The bill says that only the federal government has the authority to enforce those laws.
Bill would give legal status to undocumented immigrants
What the MSM failed to report: legal status means the right to vote. Illegal immigrants, whose numbers are estimated at between 12-15 million, would become the largest new voting “bloc” in upcoming presidential elections. California has an estimated 3 million illegal immigrants, almost 10 percent of the total population.
Illegal is illegal and nothing can change that fact.Mexico should be ashamed of itself in this matter. Greedy business and progressive Democrats want cheap labor and vote grabbing by any means possible. Time and time again the American people have spoken out on this issue only to be ignored by elected officials at ALL levels of government. We need to get involved in the “process” of selecting candidates and supporting constitutional candidates for the primarys in 2010. Then, maybe, we can offset the money from George Soros and the Ford Foundation to mention two.

Disgusting? My mother, in her 80th wanted to come to the USA amd stay legally for the rest of her life. She had considerable means and there was no chance that she ever would have been depending on the US government. She had to go through lots of red tapes, travel within Germany for medical tests and interview. It took more than two years to have her here. It seems the present government needs these hispanic voters the worst way. It was expeted, but not welcome.

It isx totally unfair to those coming to this country legally. But our politicians want these votes the worst way and for this reason they are printing all government documents in English and Spanish. When I came to the States I had to prove that I was worthy to b here. My mother when she was in her 80th she wanted to come to the States legally and Immigration made her travel to get medical exams, interviews etc. for over two years and our
congressman was no help. Please note, my mother had consideralbe means and there was absolutely no need for government support. Go figure!

Once they are citizens, there will be no more cheap labor unless Congress makes sure that they never learn English. Then they still can be exploided and having voting ballots printed in Spanish they can be munipulated to vote for the wrong people. Lets get in touch with our Congress and tell them what we think. For a start they should eliminate all Spanish forms issued by the government and be serious about making the English language official. And – no more bank accounts for any walk-ins. This allone may stem the flood of illegal immigrants.
