Thread: Eureka! Democrat with Reasonable Stance on Illegal Immigrati

By John W. Lillpop




Most liberals regard illegal aliens as “Undocumented Democrats” and a veritable gold mine of opportunity for holding on to political power by coddling to those here unlawfully.

For that reason, most Democrat politicians have abandoned reasonable concern about homeland security, preservation of American language and culture, and the stability of the American economy and social order in order to curry favor with Hispanics, the ethnic group with the greatest number of illegal aliens in the United States.

One can search high and low to unearth a liberal with a patriotic, pro-America stance on illegal immigration. That search will usually be futile, but there is a notable exception.

The exception is an U.S. Senator who has shown remarkable wisdom, foresight, and clarity, especially for a Democrat. His office released the following statements (in bold) concerning illegal immigration:

“In response to increased terrorism and abuse of social programs by aliens, (I) today introduced the first and only comprehensive immigration reform bill in Congress. Currently, an alien living illegally in the United States often pays no taxes but receives unemployment, welfare, free medical care, and other federal benefits. Recent terrorist acts, including the World Trade Center bombing, have underscored the need to keep violent criminals out of the country.”

The senator’s bill, titled the “Immigration Stabilization Act,” overhauls the nation's immigration laws, and calls for a massive scale-down of immigrants allowed into the country. The bill also changes asylum laws to prevent phony asylum seekers.

The Senator said the U.S. open door policy is being abused at the expense of honest, working citizens.

The senator continued:

"We are a country founded upon fairness and justice. An individual in real threat of torture or long-term incarceration because of his or her political beliefs can still seek asylum. But this bill closes the door to those who want to abuse America's inherent generosity and legal system.”

"Our borders have overflowed with illegal immigrants placing tremendous burdens on our criminal justice system, schools and social programs. The Immigration and Naturalization Service needs the ability to step up enforcement. Our federal wallet is stretched to the limit by illegal aliens getting welfare, food stamps, medical care, and other benefits often without paying any taxes.”

“Safeguards like welfare and free medical care are in place to boost Americans in need of short-term assistance. These programs were not meant to entice freeloaders and scam artists from around the world. Even worse, Americans have seen heinous crimes committed by individuals who are here illegally.”


Specific provisions proposed by the senator in the Immigration Stabilization Act include:

* Reduces annual legal immigration levels. Relatives other than spouse or minor children admitted only if already on immigration waiting lists and their admission does not raise annual immigration levels above approved level.

* Reforms asylum rules to prevent aliens from entering the United States illegally under phony "asylum" claims.

* Expands list of felonies considered "aggravated" felonies requiring exclusion and deportation of criminal aliens. Allows courts to order deportation at time of sentencing.

* Increases penalties for failing to depart or re-entering the United States after a final order of deportation order. Increases maximum penalties for visa fraud from five years to 10 years.

* Curtails alien smuggling by authorizing interdiction and repatriation of aliens seeking to enter the United States unlawfully by sea. Increases penalties for alien smuggling.

* Adds "alien smuggling" to the list of crimes subject to sanctions under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.

* Expands the categories of property that are forfeited when used to facilitate the smuggling or harboring of illegal aliens.

* Clarifies that a person born in the United States to an alien mother who is not a lawful resident is not a U.S. citizen. This will eliminate incentive for pregnant alien women to enter the United States illegally, often at risk to mother and child, for the purpose of acquiring citizenship for the child and accompanying federal financial benefits.

* Mandates that aliens who cannot demonstrably support themselves without public or private assistance are excludable. This will prevent admission of aliens likely to be dependent on public financial support. This requirement extends to the sponsor of any family sponsored immigrant.

* Increases border security and patrol officer positions.


So, you ask, what sort of a Democrat would take such a politically incorrect--but morally and legally correct—stance?

Perhaps the Democrat with a brain is Zell Miller from the great state of
Georgia? Or could it be a reincarnation of Alabama’s late firebrand, George Wallace?

The answer is: None of the above!

In fact, Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) introduced the Immigration
Stabilization Act in the United States Senate in 1993. The statements quoted above are from a press release issued by Reid’s office on August 5, 1993.

How is that Harry Reid was exactly right more than thirteen years
ago, but is so completely wrong now? Why would Reid oppose programs
he once sponsored now that the problem is seven times greater in scope and after the 9/11 attacks?

Just this past spring, while the U.S. Senate was debating legislation
to make English the official U.S. language, Reid saw fit to drag out the R
word—racist—to slander those supported the English bill.

And, of course, Reid voted for Mexico and against America when
the U.S. Senate voted for amnesty on May 25 of this year.

Harry Reid: Against illegal immigration before he was for it! Why?

We have to search if he is not a CFR member now...

The reason why he, Harry Reid, changed his mind is because his friends, greedy lobbyists who I call corporate america and foreign companies who invest in the US, made him to change his mind, and because he and his Democratic club are begging for cheap votes from the growing hispanic american camp. I don't understand why, because they are still a minority, and it will stay that for a long time.

I saw a clip of an interview where he actually got emotional and apologized for that bill in 1993 before he "saw the light" or something along those lines.

What in the world happens to people 13 years into the US Congress? Maybe the Rotunda has bad air and their brains are being slowly eaten alive by alien insects.

Chomp! Chomp! Chomp!

They adapt to the corruption surrounding them and fall prey to corporate America. Basically, they become bought and paid for supporters of the corporate money tree. Additionally, they aren't comfortable standing on their deeds alone, which forces them to pander to those that will aid them in their quest for job security.

What do you think, am I close?

I'd say RIGHT ON THE MONEY.

I could only add:

They are a bunch of no-good low-down lyin back-stabbin two-faced pond scum traitors that just didn't show their colors until they were there long enough to get a Committee Chairmanship.



OR:

as saveamerica says ... it could be the water .. old rusty pipes ... lead poisoning ... brain damage.

Yep ... that works for me too. Send them all to the Lead Poisoning Infirmary and Quarantine them until we can perform Deep Traitors Psychological Testing on them. If they pass and recover ... they can return to work with Traitors Monitoring Neck Collars equipped with 24/7/365 Video Cams. Like they put on the Meerkats in Meerkats Manor. If they fail .... we just stuff if em in a barrel and give them a ride over Niagara Falls.

I'm beginning to understand the French Revolution a great deal better, lately, aren't you?

Exactly MW, Nevada's rich and powerful hotel and casino lobby showed him who he is really beholden to. They wanted masses of low wage illegals to work their casinos so he jumps and says how many, the future of America and the will of the people be damned.
