NCLR Terms Sensenbrenner Bill "Appalling"
House Judiciary Bill Jeopardizes all Americans without Resolving Immigration Problems
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 8, 2005

Washington, DC - The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., is appalled by the "Border and Immigration Enforcement Act of 2005" (H.R. 4437), a bill introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-WI). Instead of providing a comprehensive, effective approach to immigration problems, the bill is a laundry list of mean-spirited and intrusive provisions concocted by the most radical immigrant restrictionists in Congress.
Among its many provisions, H.R. 4437 would:
Make it harder for legal immigrants to become U.S. citizens.
Disrupt American communities and put all Americans at risk by broadening the definition of smuggling to include anyone who aids or transports an undocumented immigrant.
Make everyone who comes to the U.S. to work subject not only to deportation but also imprisonment.
Disrupt the U.S. economy by creating an overly broad and retroactive employment verification system without creating legal channels for needed workers to work lawfully.
"No one is against security or enforcing the law. But it is an affront to all those in Congress and elsewhere who are working diligently to fix our broken immigration system that House Republicans are proposing laws that are strictly punitive, unduly restrictive, and a waste of taxpayer money. The House Republicans have overreached and are playing with people's lives for political gain. This is simply unacceptable," stated Janet MurguÃÂ*a, NCLR President and CEO.
The Sensenbrenner bill is expected to be approved by the Judiciary Committee on Thursday, and the entire House will vote on the measure next week. Other amendments that may be considered next week are a proposal by Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO), the most anti-immigrant member of Congress, to eliminate birthright citizenship for babies born in the U.S. and an amendment to build a wall along the entire U.S.-Mexico border.
"These are extreme proposals that do nothing to advance a rational conversation on comprehensive immigration reform," concluded MurguÃÂ*a. "We look to the Senate to engage in the constructive debate this nation needs to truly solve our very real immigration problems."Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn

All I can say is it's about damn time!! This is our country, We are the Americans, We decide what happens here, who lives here, who stays here and who doesn't. These representatives want our votes for a change and are apparently actually willing to enforce our laws and our will to make US a little bit more happy for their political gain which is our Democratic Process.
(Me "tinks" Janet Manura has her panties in a bunch!! Wait until we shut down those phoney 501 C 3 "charitable" Advocacies trying to end our nation and she's out of job...she'll be going through her old underwear drawer to find herself a clean pair......That thought actually brings me Great Gladness! :P )
