Why the Immigration Bill Can’t Be Fixed
Powerline Blog

...1. No bill that contains the word “comprehensive” in its title should be enacted. Sound legislation can be read and understood by a person of good intelligence...

2. The bill does nothing about the central problem in our immigration system. America’s most vital immigration issue relates to legal, not illegal, immigration. That is the insane policy of “chain immigration” that has been the law for several decades now. Chain immigration means that once a person is a legal resident in the U.S., he can bring over his family members. And they can bring over their family members, ad...

Gang Immigration Bill (S.744) is Comprehensively Flawed

Enforcement/Security

No Fence: This plan only calls for Janet Napolitano to “establish a strategy”… “to identify where fencing”… “should be deployed”... Any plan that doesn’t complete the 700-miles of double fencing is worthless. Internal Enforcement: Any plan that does not limit Obama’s prosecutorial discretion, restore the 287(g) program, ban sanctuary cities and explicitly allow states to enforce federal law and preclude the Justice Department from suing them, is worth less than the paper it is printed on...  In fact, on page 496, it explicitly preempts states from enforcing...
Sessions: Gang of 8 would give legal status to 57 million, including non-immigrant visas
Daily Caller

An analysis of future immigration flow released Friday by Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions shows that more than 32 million immigrants [illegal aliens] would receive legal status over the next decade and an additional 25 million would be granted non-immigrant work visas under the Gang of Eight’s immigration bill.

On a conference call with reporters about the analysis Sessions explained that number of legal immigrants over the next decade “exceeds the population of California, our largest state, and will have a very significant impact on our economy and the American people.”...

There Are No Jobs Americans Won’t Do
Native-born dominate virtually all occupations
Center for Immigration Studies

Supporters of the Schumer-Rubio amnesty argue that the bill’s large increase in future legal immigration will have little impact on the employment of natives because immigrants do only jobs American’s don’t want. But a detailed analysis of 472 separate occupations by the Center for Immigration Studies shows there are only a tiny number of majority-immigrant occupations (legal and illegal immigrants combined). Thus, there are really no jobs that Americans won’t do. Further, the Center found no occupations in which a majority of workers are illegal immigrants.

Refuting Rubio Myth vs. Fact – No “Special Path” to Citizenship
ImmigrationReform.com

Since the introduction of the Senate’s massive amnesty plan earlier this month, Senator Marco Rubio  (R-Fla.) has led an all out campaign to silence critics of a bill that will extend legal status to 12 million [to 40 million] illegal aliens. Part of this effort is a series Myth vs. Fact releases on his official Senate website.

The Myth v. Fact pages amount to talking points developed by the Gang of Eight. The attestations essentially ignore what’s written in the bill and assume that people don’t have the time or knowledge to refute Sen. Rubio’s claims – having flashbacks to the...

Refuting Rubio Myth vs. Fact – Modernizing our Legal Immigration System Will Grow our Economy and Create Jobs
ImmgirationReform.com

In the third installment of my four-part series of some of the myths by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) about the Gang of Eight immigration bill, I take a deeper look at his claims that the bill modernizes our legal immigration system and grows our economy.

Modernizing our Legal Immigration System Will Grow our Economy and Create Jobs

Rubio Speak

The modernization of our legal immigration system will be a net benefit for America as we make historic reforms towards a more merit-based immigration system that will help us attract...

The new draft of the immigration bill — which will allow officials...

What the Media's Not Saying About Gang of Eight Amnesty Bill
NumbersUSA.com

The Senate Judiciary Committee will mark up S. 744 (aka: "The Gang of Eight" immigration bill) on May 9th despite less than half of American knowing even basic details about the legislation. According to Pew Research, only 37 percent of Americans know that the bill was introduced by a bipartisan group of Senators, and only 47 percent are aware that the legislation would allow illegal aliens to stay in the country and apply for citizenship. The media hasn't had a lot of time to give the American public many details about the bill, so here is a partial list of under-reported details that...

Case Worker: Illegal Aliens Got Food Stamps by the “Vanload”
Judicial Watch

For decades the U.S. government has knowingly given illegal immigrants [illegal aliens] food stamps, according to a former certification case worker who denounced the costly practice back in the 1980s but was essentially ordered to keep a lid on it.

The retired assistant case manager, Craig McNees, [said] ... “Illegals would come in by the vanload and we were told to give them their stuff,” McNees said. “Management knew very well they were illegal. It was so rampant that some employees would tell their illegal relatives to come get food stamps.”

McNees contacted Judicial...

Immigrant [illegal alien] Licenses Face Colorado House Review
CBS 4

Driver’s licenses for immigrants [illegal aliens] living in Colorado illegally will be up for a first vote in a state House committee. [SB 251]

The proposal has already cleared the Senate on a party-line vote, with Republicans in opposition.   The bill would make Colorado one of a handful of states that allows driver’s licenses for immigrants in the country without legal permission. Licenses would be labeled to say the immigrants [illegal aliens] are not legal residents, and the identification could not be used to board a plane, vote, or to obtain public benefits.
