Thread: PROFOUND WORDS OF WISDOM? on illegal immigration

Dan Lungren, Republican, California
On the Conference Committee in 1986

"We had no idea the employee sanctions would be ineffective"
(what an understatement this is)

Ronald Reagan Nov. 6, 1986
when he signed the now infamous Simpson-Mazzoli bill

"Future generations of Americans will be thankful for our efforts to humanly regain control of our borders and thereby preserve the value of one of the most sacred possessions of our people: American Citizenship"


Alan Simpson on Lou Dobbs May 31, 2007
Simpson-Mazzoli bill 1986

"The first duty of a sovereign nation is to control it's borders. If you want to know about a little country in northern hemishere that really controls its borders check out Mexico.

Mazzoli is silent but continues to be a lawyer, a recent degree from the Kennedy School at Harvard and appeared May 2, 2002 before Senators Kennedy and Brownback at Committee on the Judiciary testifying on overhall of INS.
Mazzoli was a graduate of the Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame whose mission is to "Develop exemplary leaders serving non-profit organizations".

I 've just heard Rep . Adam Putnam on Bay News 9 / Florida / . He stated that :
1.Overwhelming majority of Americans do not support the imm.bill
2.The bill has too many flaws and does not have a chance to pass
3.Border security is the priority - first fix the borders " seal them tight "
4.The President is extremely unpopular and he does not keep his promises
5.Florida needs legal / skillid and low-skilled / immigrants . The unemployment reate here is 3.9% which is quite low .
