KILL OR AT LEAST MODIFY THIS GOD AWFUL AMNESTY. KEEP YOUR CALLS AND E-MAILS GOING

And know this:

The Senate put in last minute language that requires that the U.S. government “consult” with the government of Mexico before constructing any border fence or barrier. Foxes and henhouses come to mind here.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Chuck Grassley today said the immigration reform bill
being debated in the U.S. Senate is riddled with loopholes and flaws.
During a speech on the Senate floor, he outlined for the American people
nearly 30 flaws within only two sections of the bill. “I was burned once in
1986 when I voted for amnesty believing that it would solve our problems.
Now, we have a 12 million illegal immigrant problem. I’m not getting burned
again,” Grassley said. “Not only do we have a glide path to citizenship,
but it’s a glide path with plenty of loopholes that don’t meet the common
sense test.”

Grassley has a number of amendments that would help fix the shortcomings in
the bill. It’s expected that debate on the bill will conclude this week.
Here is a list of Grassley’s “Top 10.”

1. $2,000 Fine —
Under the bill, an illegal alien can go from illegal to legal by paying a
small fine of $2,000. Often, illegal aliens will pay more than five times
this amount to a smuggler to get across the border. Also, the $2000 fine
may not have to be paid until year eight, which allows the illegal alien to
live, work, and play in the United States for years free from deportation.
This imposes a financial burden on the American taxpayer for health,
education, and infrastructure costs that aren’t reimbursed for five or ten
years.

2. Taxes — Under the bill, illegal aliens get an option to only have to pay three of their
last five years in back taxes. Law-abiding American citizens do not have
the option to pay some of their taxes. The bill would treat lawbreakers
better than the American people. The bill also makes
the IRS prove that illegal aliens have paid their back taxes. It will be
impossible for the IRS to truly enforce this because they cannot audit every
single person in this country.

3. Security Clearances in 90 days – Under the bill, the Department of Homeland Security must
perform background checks on illegal aliens in the United States. It also encourages the federal government to complete the background checks on 10 million illegal aliens in 90 days. This is a national security concern
because Homeland Security will be pressured to complete these checks without
doing a thorough job.

4. Work Requirements – Under the bill, illegal aliens must prove
they’ve worked in the
United States for three of the last five years. It also says they have to
work for six years after the date of enactment of the bill. However, there
is no continuous work requirement for amnesty. They could work for 30 days,
take off 30 days, work for 30 days. The bill also says that illegal aliens
have to prove that they’ve worked in the United States for three of the last
five years by showing IRS or Social Security records, or records maintained
by federal, state, or local governments, employers, unions or day labor
centers. However, the bill also allows illegal aliens to ask anybody to
attest that they have been employed. This invites fraud, and the government
cannot realistically investigate all these cases.

5. Confidentiality – Under the bill, if an illegal alien applies for
amnesty, the federal government cannot use information provided in the
application for anything but adjudicating the petition. For example, if
illegal aliens write in their applications that they are related to Osama
Bin Laden, then our government cannot use that information. In fact, it
says that the Secretary of Homeland Security can only share that information
if someone requests it in writing. This provision severely handicaps
national security and criminal investigators. Also, if a federal agent does
use information provided by an illegal alien in an application for amnesty
the agent would be fined $10,000. This is five times more than the alien
has to pay to get amnesty.

6. Social Security to illegal aliens — Under the bill, illegal
aliens are not prohibited from getting credit for the money they’ve put into
the Social Security system if they’ve worked in the U.S. illegally. Illegal
immigrants who paid Social Security taxes using a stolen Social Security
Number did
not do so with the expectation that they would ever qualify for Social
Security benefits. (The Ensign amendment would have taken care of this, but
it did not pass.)

7. Employers get a tax pardon for hiring illegal aliens — Under the
bill, employers of aliens applying for adjustment of status “shall not be
subject to civil and criminal tax liability relating directly to the
employment of such alien.” Businesses that hired illegal workers would now
get off scott-free from paying the taxes that they owe the government. This
encourages employers to violate our tax laws and not pay what they owe the
federal government. In addition to not having to pay their
taxes, employers are also off the hook for providing illegal aliens with
records or evidence that they have worked in the U.S. The employer is not
subject to civil and criminal liability for having employed
illegal aliens in the past, or before enactment.

8. Family Members of H-2C Visa Holder need not be healthy — Under
the bill, spouses and children of H-2C visa holders are exempt from a
requirement proving that they meet certain health standards. The visa
holder is required to undergo a medical exam, but their family members are
not
which potentially puts Americans at risk.

9. Mandatory Departure isn’t really Mandatory — Under the bill, the
Secretary of Homeland
Security “may grant” Deferred Mandatory Departure to illegal aliens in the
2-5 year category. The Secretary “may” also waive the departure requirement
if it would create substantial hardship for the alien to leave.

10. No Interview Required. – Under the bill, illegal aliens in the 2nd
tier who are required to leave the country can re-enter the United States on
a visa. However, the bill does not require these individuals do not have to
be interviewed. The bill doesn’t give discretion to our consular
offices to require an interview. The 9/11 hijackers weren’t subject to
appear in person. Today, the State Department requires most applicants to
submit to interviews, and waives them only for children and the elderly.
