Many pro-illegal politicians masquerading as anti-illegal immigration politicians are trying to push this idea that you should support amnesty if it mandates that the border be secured first and other enforcement measures must enacted before illegals are granted amnesty. Has it ever occurred to any of you out there that these politicians could falsely claim that the border is secured or falsely claim we have enforcement in order to get amnesty for illegals? Has it ever occurred to any of you out there that once all the illegals have amnesty or legal status that there is nothing to prevent them yanking border security and other enforcement measures? Because of right now their track record for securing the border and enforcing illegal immigration laws is a absolute joke.Heck they even sued states for trying do the job that the federal government is refusing to do regarding deterring and cracking down on illegal immigration. Yet we are somehow supposed to believe that these people are going to secure the border and enact and enforce anti-illegal immigration laws.
Sessions: 'This Bill Must Never Become Law' | The Weekly Standard
Senator Jeff Sessions, the chief opponent of the immigration bill, released this statement in response to the Senate passing the law by a vote of 68-32:
“Sponsors of this legislation—despite the array of financial, establishment and special interest support—failed to hit their target of 70 votes. The more people learned about the bill the more uneasy they became. Failure to reach 70 votes is significant, and ensures the House has plenty of space to chart an opposite course and reject this fatally flawed proposal.
"So while the bill passed the Senate, this is just the beginning.
"The legislation adopted today guarantees three things: immediate amnesty before security, permanent future illegal immigration, and a record surge in legal immigration that will reduce wages and increase unemployment.
"There will be no border fence, no border surge, nothing but the same tired illusory promises of future enforcement that will never occur. Americans have begged and pleaded time and again for Congress to end the lawlessness. But this amnesty-first bill is a surrender to lawlessness.
