Illegal Immigration
Jul 7th, 2007
by Friends of Zach Wamp

In the last 2 years, the federal government has spent billions on manpower and patrols to stop the flow of illegals. And late last week, an announcement came that Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Senate have reached an agreement on a bill that would give legal status to millions of people. The legislation would tighten the borders; all 12 million-plus illegal immigrants could stay, and they’d have to learn English and pay a 5000-dollar fine for having entered illegally. Anyone who wants to become a US citizen would have to wait between 8 and 13-years behind those who’ve already applied… but they would be allowed to live and work here while they wait.

Local congressman Zach Wamp doesn’t like the plan…he says it still amounts to amnesty.“’I’m going to vote against and I want the people to know I’m going to vote against it. What it’s going to do is increase immigration overall and it’s going to cost us a ton of money it’s going to be very bureaucratic, problematic, it’s not even going to work well.â€
