bonnie Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Rep. Lamar Smith: Immigration Bill 'Worse Than We Thought,' Legalizes Relatives and Previously Deported April 17, 2013 By Craig Bannister Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said today that the Senate immigration bill is even worse than feared, since it legalizes illegals' relatives and even those previously deported: "It's hard to believe, but the Senate immigration bill is worse than we thought. Despite assurances, the border is not secured before almost everyone in the country illegally is given amnesty. The bill guarantees there will be a rush across the border to take advantage of massive amnesty." Rep. Smith says the Senate immigration bill shreds current immigration laws: "And the Senate proposal offers amnesty to far more illegal immigrants than we thought. In addition to most of the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country, the bill offers to legalize the relatives of illegal immigrants outside the U.S. and even others who have already been deported back home. So current immigration laws are shredded. "The Senate bill is bad news for the American people. The good news is that the House Judiciary Committee will come up with a better plan that improves our immigration system and puts the interests of American workers first."

bonnie Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 BONNIE do you know when this will be voted on? dgrimm60 Immigration Bill Would Take Nearly Three Days To Read - Nonstop April 17, 2013 By Craig Bannister The 844 page Senate immigration bill (S. 744) creating a "pathway to citizenship" for illegal aliens was introduced overnight Wednesday morning prior to its one and only scheduled hearing Friday morning. But, given the average person's reading speed, congressmen would need nearly three full days to read it - if they never stopped to eat, sleep, or do anything else. Given that it takes the average reader a minimum of five minutes to read a page of technical information, a congressman would need 4,220 minutes to read the bill (5 x 844 = 4,220). Divide that by 60 minutes and you get 70.3 hours. Divide 70.3 hours by 24, and it would take 2.93 days for a congressman to read the entire immigration bill - if he started and didn't stop until he finished. So, will anyone actually read the entire immigration bill prior to the hearing - or even before voting on it? History says "no," if you look at some of the previous long, important bills congressmen have admitted they didn't read before voting on them: Obamacare, The Stimulus, Fiscal Cliff Deal, $1.1 Trillion Omnibus Spending Bill $280 Billion Continuing Resolution, 2009 Climate Change Bill Here's the full text of the bill, full text of the Senate Immigration Bill.pdf in case you want to see how long it takes you to read and understand it.

That's because we now have a government that must pass bills before they get to see what is in them...per Nancy Pelosi. Our current Government/media complex has dictated to us it is the gravity of the need and caring that outweighs the liberty-robbing garbage contained within the pages of these bills. It is shrewd politics - but that is still tyranny just the same. Blessings, Quote "As iron sharpens iron, so also does one man sharpen another" - Proverbs 27:17 "The offense of the cross is that the cross is a confession of human frailty and sin and of inability to do any good thing. To take the cross of Christ means to depend solely on Him for everything, and this is the abasement of all human pride. Men love to fancy themselves independent. But let the cross be preached, let it be made known that in man dwells no good thing and that all must be received as a gift, and straightway someone is offended." Ellet J. Waggoner, The Glad Tidings "Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway" - John Wayne "The person who pays an ounce of principle for a pound of popularity gets badly cheated" - Ronald Reagan
