This 'immigration bill' is not about immigration.
It is about creating yet another protected class and expanding government to even greater levels - setting up whole new agencies.
The illegal aliens brought 'out of the shadows' will get full 'social benefits,' medical care and are allowed, get this,
allowed two forged passports before being judged 'criminal.' (

I posted a link because it's too unbelievable. But not as unbelievable as this: employers get a 5k bonus if they hire an illegal/legal now - as opposed to an American. Is that insane?!
This also overwhelms our already destitute infrastructure. Emergency rooms are closing in CA. Environment? Screw it - bring in more cars and use more resources. And it guarantees that blacks in the inner cities will stay there - as illegals take the jobs they should be working.
They (the swine - Republicans and Democrats) are framing this as a racial issue and that we who are against it hate Mexicans / Hispanics. I'd be willing to hate them, I suppose, if I knew them all. But I don't!!!
Plus, my boss is Hispanic!
What I hate is endorsing criminality - giving these border jumpers priority over friends of mine from Mexico, South Africa, India, China and even Canada! Being a legal immigrant is a great big hassle, believe me.
And I hate the social impact. The whole world is freaking out right now - America really is important on the world stage - but the NSA leaks, all this crazy, murderous activity in the middle east that we are involved in (who are the good guys?) and our out of control central govt...
Threatening to boycott Olympics to punish Russia? Jeeze...
We are so involved in everybody's business that if this sort of nonsense brings us down, as it might, the rest of the world is in deep sh*t too.
Just my .02.
