Immigration plan will benefit wrongdoers

The new but unnumbered immigration bill gaining momentum in Congress will spell trouble for the American worker. This new bill is sponsored by U.S. Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas. This proposal would allow unlimited immigration of eligible workers into America for the first three years, and enable these "guest workers" to remain permanently. Now in my 43 years on this earth a guest always leaves, but our elected officials must have a different dictionary than mine. Under this crazy proposal most of our estimated 10 to 20 million illegal immigrants would have to leave the country for three days. Ellis Island centers set up outside America is where these people would report.

Now for the scary parts. This proposal would outsource the administration of U.S. immigration policy to private for-profit job placement agencies.
These agencies will have no regard for America or its people only for their profit. With only three days to process each person's application, this guest worker program will turn into a rubber stamp visa mill. This program also allows employers who have already broken our immigration laws to determine the number of workers that will be allowed to enter the U.S. as a guest worker.

All this proposal achieves is to allow business cheap labor and give the American people the bill for all the social services and free medical care our new guest workers will require.

The only hope of maintaining a middle-income America is to secure our borders and cut back our immigration levels to an acceptable level of 500,000 people per year.

How can they have a new unnumbered bill gaining momentum? Is that so we can't e-mail and call in regards to a specific thing?
