That’s right, legal Americans are about to get shafted again by the ruling class on the Potomac. Our Roman senate, led by the “Gang of Eight” is just thrilled about the latest proposal they’ve drafted – another 1000 page bill – to legalize millions of illegals. Apparently it’s all about “economic growth.” But it won’t do a damn thing to tighten the border, control who’s getting into America, or help prevent future acts of Islamic terrorism.
 
Pretending to take their constitutional responsibilities seriously, the “Gang” graciously accepted input from a variety of different interest groups among them; labor unions and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, farmers and farm workers, Catholics and evangelical Protestants, and immigrant rights’ advocates and conservatives such as Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.

 
Oddly enough, these distinguished senators have completely avoided talking to the one labor union in a position to offer valuable information on the subject of illegal immigration – that would be the union representing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
 
At a press conference last week Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and law enforcement officers from around the country expressed their concern that the voices of those charged with enforcing our nation’s immigration laws aren’t being considered by the “Gang” at all ~
 

 
Chris Crane, ICE officer and National ICE Council president representing 7,000 ICE agents, officers, and employees has some especially penetrating questions for the “Gang(sters)”. If nothing else, watch this part (about the 5 min. mark) ~

“Marco Rubio(R-FL), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Dick Durbin( D-IL), John McCain(R-AZ), Patrick Leahy(D-VT), Lindsey Graham(SC), Robert Menendez(D-NJ), Jeff Flake(AZ), Michael Bennett(D-CO):
 
As United States’ senators, the representatives of the people, where have you been for the last four years?
 
What have you done to prevent political appointees at ICE and DHS from ignoring the laws of Congress?
 
What have you done to stop these same political appointees from manipulating arrest data and misleading the American public and members of Congress?
 
What have you done to prevent dangerous criminals from being released back into American communities by the thousands?
 
What have you done to protect America’s law enforcement officers who now not only place their lives at risk to enforce our nations’ laws, but their careers as well, as they struggle against political appointees who order them not to enforce the law and who order them to place the public at risk?

 
Of course the answer to all these questions, is NOTHING!

 
Once again, as Sen. Sessions says, this immigration bill is “amnesty before enforcement.”
Once again the ruling class ignores the will of the people – and even the welfare of the people (abdicating their primary constitutional responsibilities).
Once again the law-abiding Americans are the losers.
 
Like I said… B.O.H.I.C.A.

The Flawed ‘Gang of Eight’ Immigration Plan ~ Jim DeMint at Heritage ~

The “Gang of Eight” bill introduced in the U.S. Senate violates the very rule of law principle that creates opportunity for immigrants and makes America a beacon of hope for the world. Giving legal residency to the 11 million people who came here illegally has one definition: amnesty. Amnesty rewards unlawful behavior and diminishes opportunity and prosperity for lawful immigrants and all Americans.
 
The Senate bill imposes significant costs on taxpayers. At a time of trillion-dollar deficits and $17 trillion in debt, the cost of implementing amnesty and the strain it will add to already fragile entitlement and welfare programs should be of serious concern for everyone.
