Bush administration again lies about border security in immigration bill: Debra Burlingame

June 16, 2007

Update at 3:19 PM EDT: In case those in D.C. think nobody read this, see this.

Last night, Constitutional expert and talk-radio host Mark Levin spoke with Debra Burlingame about the now revived ‘Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007.’ The proponents of the bill in Congress and the administration are lying to the American people. That is not new news:

Debra Burlingame: “This amnesty bill is really a boom to the enemy. I guarantee you that al Qaeda has their guys lined up to get their amnesty, the ones already here and the ones who will come here. They will defraud this system to get their Social Security cards… How do we know that? There is a history for it. The 1993 World Trade Center bombing, there were more than 10 people associated with and convicted in that. Three of them got amnesty by claiming the were agricultural workers under a … special agricultural workers program that was part of the 1986 amnesty. Thank you very much, Ted Kennedy.

“The CIA shooter who murdered two people outside Langley [CIA HQs], he applied for amnesty in 1986 and was declined. He stayed anyhow because we had no way of knowing that he was still here. We didn’t have an entry and exit and entry system. So, Congress ordered one up in 1996 and … we haven’t got it still. In fact, last fall [Secretary of Homeland Security] Michael Chertoff said building one would be cost prohibitive, it would cost billions of dollars and would take more than ten years. One of the things they are saying about this bill is, it is going to have an entry and exit system. That’s a lie. These people will not go home and we will have no proof whether they did or not.â€
