The last amnesty was supposed to be the last amnesty

According to the government released report from the Congressional Budget Office, the so-called immigration bill, if passed, would affect the salaries and benefits of American workers. But as many American workers or anyone looking for a job knows already illegal immigration has taken a heavy toll on American jobs and salaries.

Technology jobs to low skilled jobs already suffer from the illegal workers willing to work at lower wages, or under the table with the lack of any benefits. The false statement that illegal immigrants are hiding in the shadows is hard to swallow for the American citizens that have lost their jobs to the illegal worker over the last 10+ years.

The last amnesty was supposed to be the last amnesty, but due to the lack of enforcing the laws on our books and government departments turning their head on overstayed visas the count of illegals surpasses the total they would like us to believe.

The fact that illegal entry into our country is against our laws – makes every illegal immigrant a criminal. Many have been sent back and have returned over and over again – making them even bigger criminals.

And now, once again, they promise border security – when was the last time and how long have we heard that one – as a hook to get more Republicans on board to vote for their latest version of comprehensive immigration amnesty reform. And on Monday, the plan seems to of worked as the U.S. Senate passed the procedural vote on the Corker-Hoeven amendment of 67 – 27. The amendment, which was concocted behind closed doors and given just 76 hours for senators to read was basically passed without too many knowing what they voted on, again.

It would seem that most of our legislative body as forgotten that we are a Republic form of government. Obama just made the remark in connection to the Snowden case that they are making sure that “the rule of law is observed,” but yet when it comes to the illegal immigrants, it is okay for the rule of law, not to be observed. How many times do the American people have to yell “secure our borders”?
