Thread: AMNESTY PASSED IN SENATE..

I JUST REVEIVED THIS EMAIL, Sawdust had posted this but there was a doubt, now they are confirming


Subject: (Fwd) Amnesty passed in the Senate w/ an Amendment to Min. Wag



This a long and detailed read. However, please note the New World Order section, starting at (9). This yet again confirms that millions of Third World people with no loyalty to our country and who easily accept tyranny is a MUST to keep the keep TRAITORS in power and enable them to finalize the treacherous North American Union which would abolish U.S. sovereignty!

Subject: Amnesty passed in the Senate w/ an Amendment to Min. Wage Bill! What's the house going to do????




Trying to clarify what you may have heard about today. The Senate sneaked Amnesty into the Minimum Wage bill that was just passed. It's in the House, no word on what they're going to do with this.

(some here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1779708/posts and http://www.libertypost.org/cgi- bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=175627&Disp=All&#C147 )

This is a long bill, loaded with illegal alien jackpots. Amnesty along with Mexico/USA economic integration is in Amendment #187 in the just passed Senate Bill 2 (S 2) minimum wage increase.

NO, this has nothing to do with minimum wage!

Here are some troubling portions of that amendment.
STATUS:

1/24/2007: Amendment SA 187 proposed by Senator Kennedy for Senator Kerry to Amendment SA 112. (consideration: CR S1044-1045; text: CR S1044) 1/24/2007: Amendment SA 187 agreed to in Senate by Unanimous Consent.

You mean creating a path to citizenship and more illegal aliens that will overstay their visas.

NumbersUSA is still saying this did not go through---


Senate Minimum Wage Bill Avoided Immigration Increases

http://www.numbersusa.com/index

It has come to our attention that some believe that the dreadful McCain-Kennedy amnesty scheme was dropped into the bill during its passage through the Senate, but NumbersUSA’s analysis of that chamber’s proceedings indicates that those damaging provisions were not, in fact, amended into the measure before it was sent back to the House on February 1.

Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) did propose an amendment to that effect, but it was neither substantively discussed nor adopted before passage of the underlying bill. In addition, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced and subsequently withdrew an amendment that would have provided amnesty to illegal alien farmworkers.

On the positive side, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) offered an amendment to H.R. 2, the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007, which would have dramatically increased civil fines on employers who hire illegal aliens. Sen. Sessions called it a “comprehensive wage reform” measure, playing off the “comprehensive immigration reform” term used by open borders advocates. He said his amendment was an appropriate addition to that particular measure – legislation designed to increase the wages of working Americans – because the salaries of low-skilled workers have lagged behind due to the large influx of illegal aliens.

Although Democratic leaders refused to let Sen. Sessions' initial amendment reach the Senate floor, a second Sessions proposal was adopted that day by a 94-0 vote. It would prohibit any government contractor caught using illegal labor from future government contracts for ten years. It is expected to face serious opposition by business and union lobbyists when the bill reaches conference committee.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) also introduced and withdrew a positive amendment that would have required that the employers of temporary unskilled foreign agricultural workers (H-2As) pay the greater of either the Federal minimum wage or a newly defined prevailing wage.

Legalese (sp?) defintely throws me. Can someone summarize this? Give the prognosis? And finally, is there anything we should do?

What is the article saying? It still has to be discussed and refined or is all that awaits is the President's signature. Is it dirty pool how they got this in or....

Help oh wise ones.

Basically, it translates into the Democrats are scared to death of what we will do in 2008, if they sail through any form of amnesty. It appears they have settled for a compromise. WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE THEM ON THE RUN

Sessions is a big hero and for now we are safe from the Senate and its up to the House to either approve it or strike it down. If the House approves it then Bush can either sign it or not. Either way, the door has been (at least temporarily) closed on amnesty.

The senate is expected to debate and pass the McCain/Kennedy bill which is much more pro-immigrants then the Haguel/Martinez senate bill that passed last year...The Haguel/Martinez bill would have divided the 12 million into 3 groups with the one here longer having the greater benefit...In the McCain/Kennedy bill, they will all be put on a clean path to citizenship and no one will be allow to go home.

About the McCain bill being connected into the minimum wage..I didnt hear anything about this i from whats ive heard from my senator, Bob Menendez office, they are scheduled to debate and pass the McCain/Kennedy sometimes this month...My guess is S9 will come up late this month of early next month and it already has bi-partisan votes.

The women that answered the phone in Senator Bob Menendez was pretty knowledgable and she told me they arent going to spend a lot of time with it because the bill has gained support from new senators such as Bob Casey, and the senator from virginia which is an extra 2 votes gained during the past election.

Amnesty is near my friend.

Don't kid yourself. The Senate is not pro immigrant. The Senate is owned by big business and they will own you and me as well if the existing laws are lifted and replaced against the wishes of the vast majority of Americans.

We will all be their slaves "my friend"

Your illegal alien buddies will have helped big business to bring low the most prosperous and free citizens in human history.

All that was great about America will fade beneath the oligarchy of corporate rule. Americans and the illegals will all suffer.

Thanks "my friend"

And thank you scab worker illegal alien buddies too.

That would be a big......... "whistle Dixie"

Thanks so much for that post Kate! Even though I know McCain-Kennedy is still in the wings it helps see it didn't get slipped into another Bill. Yet at least!
