Are You Sick Enough? Look What Else We Will Have To Pay For

For those who missed Lou Dobbs today, this is an excerpt of the transcript. Hold onto your seat....it's ugly.

DOBBS: The Senate today proposing changes to that grand compromise as new details emerge from the almost 400 pages of draft legislation. One thing is abundantly clear -- for American taxpayers this is a costly proposition.

Bill Tucker has a number of the details.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

BILL TUCKER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): When senators talk about their immigration bill, they like to emphasize border security. They don't mention a proposal that would force taxpayers for the first time ever to pay for the lawyers for illegal aliens and take legal services away from America's poor.

KEN BOEHM, NATIONAL LEGAL & POLICY CENTER: You're short-changing them to help somebody who broke the law. You are rewarding somebody who did something wrong and punishing these people who now might not be able to get a lawyer.

TUCKER: The bill would give illegal aliens priority over Americans in poverty. Other unmentionables include the Z visa. It's called a temporary visa, but it can be renewed indefinitely for the life of the visa holder. No other visa is so generous.

All background checks on those applying for amnesty must be completed within 24 hours, although there is no justification why and plenty of reason to suggest that complete background checks can't be done so quickly.

Gang members would be given amnesty if they renounce their gang membership. If an illegal alien is arrested in an enforcement raid and might be eligible for amnesty, the government must provide help in applying for the Z visa and release the illegal alien.

KRIS KOBACH, IMMIGRATION REFORM LAW INST.: This is just shocking on its face. And I think that's part of the reason why the authors of this bill have not made it public. Most of the Senate has not seen this bill yet.

TUCKER: Another unnoticed provision? The bill would change the law and reduce the southern border fencing project from 854 miles, to 370 miles, to only 200 miles.

Talk about SCAMS!!!! It's a shame when our own government wants to do this to IT'S OWN CITIZENS!!!!
More Red Carpet for illegal aliens and benefits for corporations!!

You know...the ones who helped put you in power in 2006!!


Don't worry ...we will remember all of you...dems and reps who betray us!!

[fedupinwaukegan]

And who are the staffers that wrote this bill in private/secret? Are they little rich offsprings in intern jobs who have no idea of the real world?!

I grow angrier by the day...

[fedupDeb]

How long must we continue to be doormats? Next, we'll be required to donate blood. THIS MUST STOP!

Fedupdeb, that cartoon says it all!!

It all makes you want to go and smack some politician, doesn't it

[Debby]

So many things are ridiculus in this bill. America's poor will be overlooked
for illegals. While we pay and pay for all their benefits that will be
handed to them. Let them use some of that money that they send
back to Mexico to pay for their services here.

Gang members are violent and criminals!! Why would they even
consider giving citizenship to these people. They will never give up
their activities.
