Alert: Enforcement-Only Shuler Bill Heading to Floor?

One hundred and thirty-six conservative Democrats and Republicans, including Tom Tancredo, are backing a bill (HR 408 introduced by Rep. Heath Shuler, D-N.C., which seeks to “strengthen enforcement of immigration laws, in part by providing employers more tools to verify their workers’ legal status.â€

This is a load of crap, we need a moritorium on all immigration until they figure out what the heck is happening in this country and just how many people they are letting in.

Breaking News: Five-Year Visa for Undocumented Proposed

News broke last week in the Congressional Quarterly that House Democrats and Hispanic Caucus Members are working on several different pieces of legislation, including one which provides five-year visas for undocumented workers who pay fines and pass criminal background checks.

They never include a health physical in any proposal I have read--don't the legislatures care about public health and transmission of communiable diseases? More than likely they never received childhood vaccines for measles, mumps, polio, etc. Why aren't vaccination records ever a requirement?

"Five-year visa for "undocumented WORKERS" who pay fines and pass criminal background checks". I oppose any form of amnesty visa.

Their own "political correctness" can be used to bite them.
*They are illegal aliens not undocumented workers.
*The opposite term to 'undocumented worker' is ''undocumented unemployed'.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power."
