I had a chance this morning to ask Sen. Chuck Schumer about the prospects for a comprehensive immigration bill, something he has pledged to introduce this year as head of the immigration subcommittee. Schumer took the lead on immigration reform at the request of the late Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy. Today he noted that his own approach would be somewhat different.

“I’m not doing it quite the way he did. I’m a little more moderate than he is on some of these things. But getting the job done is what he wanted,â€

Well, Schumer, you just screwed up by saying Lou Dobbs is anti-immigration--he is anti-ILLEGAL immigration.
And all those interest groups that you will be hearing from in your subcommittee, where the crap are the American people who have seen their jobs disappear overseas or be forced to train their visaed replacements? What about the American teenagers that can't get jobs flipping burgers because some illegal is being paid under the table?

Schumers Smokescreen Plan is to show enforcement is being done now so amnesty for those already here can be advanced. It's just another BS ploy.

Schumer is not moderate and don't fall for that.

Too bad we don't have term limits for these fools, but, of course, Congress will never allow that. It would be nice if they would get off their tushes and found some work where honesty and fealty to the nation would be the main requirements.
