NCLR TERMS SENSENBRENNER BILL “APPALLING�
House Judiciary Bill Jeopardizes all Americans without Resolving Immigration Problems
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,â€? 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,â€? 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.â€?Equal rights for all, special privileges for none.

"Appalling"
Translation:
"I am appalled because this bill means I will have much less power and influence!! It also means an end to our racist agenda!! How could you do that to us??!!!"

My sentiments EXACTLY. I'm going to start watching the reactions of ALL of these PRO groups to see what bills are REALLY GOOD! If they go berserk about one like Sensenbrenner's, I'm going to KNOW it's a "GOOD THING"!!!
