Senate Pushes Comprehensive Immigration Reform AGAIN.
I found this on posted today on two sites. I hope this is not true.
August 28, 2007
Senate gives Bush another opportunity to destroy GOP through Comprehensive Immigration Reform
This week the U.S. Senate is, once more, expected to come to some sort of compromise over what it calls Comprehensive Immigration Reform. The phrase sounds nice, doesn't it? Who could be against such a well-turned use of political rhetoric? In fact, everyone who questions the legislation's goals has to be a bigot or simply ignorant regarding the subject.
Thankfully, a vast majority of Americans have seen through the media hype and the political subterfuge to recognize what President George Bush and his Democratic comrades are up to. The Democrats want as many illegal aliens as possible to receive amnesty. Their goal is upfront and simple. Well, it's as upfront as politicians can make it. If the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants who are currently in the United States receive amnesty, and you throw in their extended families, including parents, children and siblings, that number can easily reach 50 million or more. And what political party would benefit from the vote of these new American citizens? If you guessed the Democratic Party, you'd be right.
But Democrats will tell you our economy depends on "guest workers" and, without them, the nation will suffer. Here's a question for political junkies: When was the last time Democrats cared one hoot about big business? In fact, the left has portrayed the business community as the root of all evil during the past 50 years. Indeed, Democrats look at big business as a fountain of wealth to support big government and higher taxation. But I digress.
In contrast, Bush is taking part in a move that would make Neville Chamberlain look like the greatest prophet of the 20th Century. To benefit big business, our President seems willing to not only destroy his own political party, but to change American culture for decades, make that centuries, to come. "It is not amnesty," the administration will claim, with the certainty of a snake oil salesman on the brink of a pitch of a lifetime and "anyone who claims it is amnesty is simply attempting to frighten the American public." Well, that's the mantra. Let's look at the facts.
Last year, Congress passed legislation that would lead to the construction of a two-tiered fence that would extend over 700 miles along the U.S. border with Mexico. The new bill has cut the length of the fence in half. Something called Z-visas would give the 12 million illegals already in the U.S. something called "legal status." What is legal status, you might ask. It's the right to stay in the United States indefinitely. Now does this new bill exclude criminals and gang members from obtaining legal status? Of course not. Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy would not want to offend anyone by being exclusionary. Therefore, the American public and its legal system will have to deal with these lawbreakers, if President Bush and some in the Senate have their way.
Yes, the upcoming week may well determine the viability of the Republican Party for the next century. What goes on in the Senate, may also determine the solvency of Social Security for baby boomers and future generations. The Heritage Foundation estimated the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill will cost the Social Security Administration $2.5 trillion as it is currently written.
Those of us who oppose the bill are tired of hearing about what bad citizens we are. Since when are individuals depicted as obstructionists, isolationists and racist because we expect laws to be followed, not ignored. The Bush administration seems to have no problem using this language, simply for the sake of the almighty dollar.
The United States Chamber of Commerce, once again, is a villain in this process. Americans were told NAFTA would create more jobs for U.S. citizens, while those who were employed by industry saw their jobs move to Third World nations faster than grain through a goose.
It's clear the desires of big business trump the wishes of the American people. It's been proven, time and time again, in the past. But for the first time in U.S. history, the American electorate has come together in a unifying voice. It's a voice that is louder than the big business lobby. It's a voice that is stronger than those who aspire to see a one world economy. It is a voice that has received the attention of many politicians who, in the past, have ignored it.
During the next few days, the very fabric of American culture may be in the hands of those in the Senate. Perhaps, one more time, the voice of the American people will be heard and heeded. President Bush and the big business lobby may see this as a defeat, but, in reality, the defeat of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill would be a victory for America.

Great article...but what does he mean "this week"? I suspect that this article was written in between the first amnesty vote and the second. But why it has an August 28, 2007 date attached to this article is unknown. Is there something specifically going on "this week"that we don't know about. Isn't the Congress in recess?

This seems to be a reprint from an earlier article. here is the link to the original. I did not compare word for word, but at a glance it seems to be identical.
