Cornyn/Kyl Passes

Statement from Sen. Cornyn: "This amendment passed with overwhelming, bipartisan support, yet just a few weeks ago the minority leader wouldn't even allow a vote on it because it was not, it in his opinion, a good amendment. But this amendment simply closes a loophole and strengthens the bill, and it will help keep Americans safe by ensuring that no felons or repeat criminal offenders will receive amnesty or citizenship."

**************** From NUMBERSUSA

Kyl amendment (SA 4027 [submitted for himself, Cornyn, Graham, Allen, McCain, Frist, Brownback, Martinez, Hagel, and Alexander])
Summary: Prohibits an illegal alien from being eligible for amnesty if he/she: (1) is subject to a removal (except for removal solely on grounds of inadmissibility based on illegal entry, unlawful presence, or failure to maintain legal immigration status); (2) fails to depart during a period of voluntary departure; (3) has been convicted of a felony or at least three misdemeanors; (4) is subject to reinstatement of a removal order after illegal reentry; or (5) has been determined by DHS to constitute a danger to homeland security or to have committed a serious crime outside the United States prior to his or her arrival, or the community of the United States. Authorizes DHS to waive these barriers to amnesty if an alien was ordered removed on the basis that he/she entered without inspection, failed to maintain status, or was ordered removed prior to April 7, 2006, and: (1) demonstrates that he/she did not receive notice of removal proceedings; or (2) establishes that his/her failure to appear was due to exceptional circumstances beyond the control of the alien (e.g., serious illness of the alien, serious illness or death of the alien’s spouse, child, or parent).

Sounds good. However, the approx. 8 million who have been here for more than two years are not being directed to leave and come back. Second, since they crossed illegally, there is no way to track them.

And the point is ? Probably 90 percent of them have just never been caught...breaking the law, but have.....I guess we just leave the here!

QFLASH..........one step at a time, lol.

Keep chinking away at their armour. Remember, they're getting awfully nervous & jerky about the rank and file not being in lock-step!!

CHINK, CHINK, CHINK and watch them run in circles like cornered rats

Yup. They are focusing on the wrong thing. If our borders were secured, we could deport all the criminals and not worry about them coming back in.

Summary: Prohibits an illegal alien from being eligible for amnesty if he/she:

So much for it NOT being an amnesty!

DUH

Yeah but this article doesn't show. Where they say, that if they have a Spouse or Kid and it would cause hardship. Then a waiver will be granted. So much for this admendment.

It's a hardship if one of our spouses goes to prison, but they would still have to go, and the family he or she left behind, would have to move on with out lives.....so BIG DEAL!

Yeah, that not a big deal, the deal is after they got out of prison. They would be able to apply for Citizenship, because of there spouse.
