22 Reasons to Deport the Senate

Is there one foul word I can use that basically takes all the others and lumps them into one? Because I can't think of a better way to express the outrage I feel when I read this list of reasons the Senate Immigration Bill is (as Lee puts it) a "giant steaming load of crap."

You simply have to read it--all of it--but here's a preview of some of my favorites. If these don't convince you that we are being represented by a bunch of traitors, I don't know what will.

1) The Senate Bill Would Make It Impossible To Deport Most Illegal Aliens For Years

"What about illegal alien protection? The alien and their families who file applications for amnesty “shall not be detained, determined inadmissible, deported, or removed until their applications are finally adjudicated, unless they commit a future act that renders them ineligible with amnesty.” With tens of millions of applications, this amnesty, this provision essentially guarantees an illegal alien years of protection in the United States, even if they do not qualify for the amnesty." -- Jeff Sessions

2) Consultations Between United States And Mexican Authorities At The Federal, State, And Local Levels Are Required Before A Fence Can Be Built

Although this isn't, as some opponents of the Senate bill have portrayed it, giving Mexico a veto over the fence, what is going to come of it other than delay and condemnations of the project? The whole point of building the fence is to keep people on the Mexican side of the fence from entering our country illegally. The people in Mexico oppose building a fence for exactly the same reasons that we want it built. So, it's like home owners and burglars getting together to discuss the new locks and alarms that are being put into place. It's really none of their business and even if it were, they oppose the fence, so what's to discuss?

6) The No-Sharing For National Security Purposes Clause

"The bill forbids the federal government to use any information included in an application for amnesty in national-security or criminal investigations." -- National Review
That means if Osama Bin Laden were to apply for citizenship and mention on the application that he was currently living in New York, it would literally be illegal to tell the FBI. Does that really make any sense?

[And my all-time favorite reason these Senators should hang their heads in shame (or better yet, have them severed from their bodies and handed to them, preferably by some of the terrorists their bill will likely admit to our beloved country)]

22) Social Security For Illegals [Read that one again, slowly, make sure it sinks in]

Unfortunately, the Senate has now voted to give "undocumented workers" credit for the money that they contributed to Social Security while they were here illegally. That's a big mistake and not just because it rewards illegals for breaking our laws or because we're going to be taking money that would otherwise be going to Americans and giving it to illegals.
Since these illegals have used fake numbers, maybe even multiple fake numbers, and even real numbers that belong to other people, it's going to be incredibly difficult to untangle the mess and figure how much they've really contributed, if anything, to Social Security.

This move, like a lot of others the Senate has made while working on this amnesty bill, puts the welfare of illegal immigrants above that of the American people.

There's a reason they call it "SHAMnesty" folks. Or rather, there's 22 reasons. Read 'em and weep, buckets.
