Warning! US Senate Amnesty bill contains in-state tuition for illegals!?

That bill also included the doubling of the H2-B foreign worker program. This program does the same as the illegal immigrants do,only at the TOP of the job level. It gives leadership,technical, blue-collar, office jobs, to foreign workers. Then they conveniently forget their Visa expired and just stay. There was a lot of "pork" in that bill that we were not aware of. American citizens should write, call and e-mail their congressmen and senators to let them know how we oppose amnesty in any form for the ILLEGALS in our country. They should be deported for the felony they have committed. Our border should be CLOSED! When congress resumes in two weeks they will see how much we want this issue taken care of in the right way "for American citizens". I for one will contact my congressman and I urge every American who is fed up with illegal immigrants sucking this country dry of the programs and assistance meant for the legal citizens to do the same. If the LEGAL immigrants who came here the proper way can't stand up for the country that welcomed them in then I think they should  pack up and go to their respective countries as well. I'm sick of Mexicans, Latinos, Hispanics, and any other people from south of the USA border who think they own a piece of our country.I once was welcoming to the LEGALS but now, I'm getting fed up with them, too!!!\n\nType into "search" the words "Senate"  or  "Congressman" to find your senator or congressman to e-mail or mail a letter.

It is a totally unfair situation. These illegals are flooding our schools and health systems. They are a source of cheap labor so that Americans are losing jobs to them. It is infuriating. I hope you have written to your senators and congressional rep. about it. I have. For more info go to www.loudobbs.com

Going to go to school? A Republican I know wanted to defraud the State of California out of non-resident tuition at U.C.Berkeley, so he contacted a friend in CA and arraigned to start receiving mail there a year ahead of time. Then made a trip out and got a library card and driver's license.\n\nWorked for him. Works for the "Governor" now.

Oh, you are so preaching to the choir here.  The better life for their children is at the expense of upward mobility through education for our own children. \n\nLook at the correlation between ESL demographics and test scores in the LA Unified School District.  You can find these at Greatschools.net.  The schools are overcrowded to the point where most have 'three tracks' so the school will be used all year long, and children do not match each other's vacation school schedules, or the times when commercial camp options are available.  It costs $18,000 to educate a child for one year in California, and more if that is ESL instruction.  However, for those of us who have children in the overcrowded, underfunded and highly ESL impacted LAUSD, the money is the least of the costs.  This is our children's future we are talking about.\n\nThose not in border states may think this will never impact their states to this extent.  However, those people should look at the numbers to be allowed, including family, in the guest worker program under the Senate Bill.  Illegal immigrants have already begun moving into the interior to find better education than the border states have, any more.  Implementing the Senate Bill would impair education throughout  the country.

The half of this "can of worms" has not been revealed.  Not only do illegals grab many benefits but they also apply for Medicaid and Medicare!  Many work under false names/social security numbers and the REAL citizens get income tax notices for back taxes! One lady had taken care of her children since 2000 and IRS wanted over $15,000 for back taxes on money she had not seen nor earned in three states! Recently 20 illegals were captured and some nitwit at Immigration told police to "Release them!"  Police should have ignored such a STUPID reply as a garbled transmission...faulty fax...faulty brain in faxer,etc. Immigration Service is a haven for nitwits, loafers, and incompetents seeking an easy paycheck for sloth.  Thousands of businesses could be fined for knowingly hiring illegals and fine money could be applied to "Dropping them off in Chiapas".  Instead 3 or 4 got fines, the apprehanders need to be the survivors of a "mass firing".  Whoever is supposed to be watching INS goof off should likewise be tossed into a van without seats a-la Billy Dale Travel Office style...and taken to the gate, told to "So Sue us!"  Hillary Clinton style!

it is such an enormous and expensive problems and i did reported an illegals aliens once to the proper authorities and guess what happen, after a couple of days i saw the person back at work and the employers just paying the fine, is their any kind of legal organization that we can join or contribute some money to solve such problem which is beginning to choke this country to death to the point that their will be more lawbreakers than law abiding citizen in this country once they are given amnesty which the democrats are planning to do just to insure that they will be in the white house come 2008!! God help the USA.

I'd rather see no bill at all than the Senate bill.  They snuck in a rolling amnesty in a 10 year statute of limitations which would say that anyone who can get here and hide out for 10 years (or forge papers saying they have) will have amnesty. That treats the offense as just 'passing the border' rather than the ongoing pilfering of services they are not entitled to.\n\nIt is dishonest because there was this huge public debate on the amnesty about '5 years' and '2 to 5 years' and 'less than 2 years' yet they sneak this in with no discussion at all.  The Senate bill also gives social security benefits to people who STOLE social security card numbers from others. Any of us who did that would go to jail, not profit from the crime!\n\nI can't even get into all the problems.  The cumulative numbers of amnesty, the 1.5 million person annual agriculture guest worker program and the 200,000 other unskilled guest worker program, when multiplied by the ability to bring in their families has been calculated to add up to an additional 185 to 217 million poor immigrants in the next 20 years ABOVE our current rates and ABOVE illegals currently here.  That is about a 60% increase in the population of the United States.  They put in a cap on how many of those can be made permanent residents in a single year, but all of them and their families would be here using services.\n\nI want them to solve the hard problems, but ONLY if they do it right. \n\nI'd be ok with border security only, then let's figure out the rest.  If the Senate is really not just holding border security hostage for their own pet slave labor program, they should have to approve that sort of law.\n\nComprehensive isn't good if the law sucks.

To many Rats:\n\nDallas County Wants Refunds for Mexicans' Health Care \n\nCommissioners in Dallas County, Texas, plan to ask the Mexican government to pay for the medical care given to Mexican nationals at a local hospital. \n\nEach year, Dallas County taxpayers spend $15 million to treat Mexican nationals at Parkland Hospital - and that total includes only the first two days of the patients' emergency care, according to CBS 11 News in Dallas. \n\n"We will be sending a bill to Mexico's president to explain to him and to the embassy how much money it is costing the Dallas County taxpayer to treat their residents, and they need to reimburse Dallas County," said County Judge Margaret Keliher. \n\nJesse Diaz, local president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, complained: "Why punish Mexico? Mexico should not be a scapegoat ... the immigrants are paying taxes, buying homes and cars, and are contributing to the economy." \n\nDallas County will also send bills to nearby Texas counties whose residents seek care at Parkland - running up a tab of nearly $27 million a year, according to Keliher. \n\nDallas can't force those other counties to pay up. But Parkland's board chair Dr. Lauren McDonald said if outsiders don't pay their fair share of emergency and trauma care, it will have a devastating effect on the hospital and those who rely on it.

They are doing it for $50k!!  I have already said the citizens of the USA will not continually stand by while our government allows illegal immigrants, terrorists, criminals of all kinds to freely enter our country while they speak of 'amnesty' to allow them to stay. Citizens will rise and rebel against the failure of our government to abide by the Constitution they swore on oath to uphold!! The day of reckoning is soon to be upon us!! If amnesty is granted on this election day, Wednesday this week will be the beginning of an uprising this country has not seen since the Civil War!!   Americans have been told to get their heads out of their butts!! If they haven't all hell will break loose!! \n VOTE for the representative against illegal immigration!!! \nVOTE for the representatives who are FOR closing our BORDERS!!\nVOTE for the representatives who demand our laws be enforced!!\nVote for representatives who want ENGLISH as our OFFICIAL language!!!\n\nVOTE!!!!!!!VOTE!!!!!!VOTE!!!!!!!!VOTE!!!!!!!!VOTE!!

it's not a law, just a bill passed by Senate. It also needs to be passed by the house and signed by the president to become a law, which probably won't happen.\n\nAnyway as a student this new immigration reform probably won't affect you at all. If you are hoping to get permanent residency out of this that probably won't happen either.\n\nIt's all speculations really, we must wait for a law to pass before we know anything for sure

Yes, I wrote the President, the Vice-President, Congress and Senators.  I got several form letters, but I did get a hand written note from Senator Bozeman.\n\nhere is a copy of what I wrote.\n\nThe negative impact of illegal aliens in my life.  I wish I knew where to start.  This article \nhttp://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/mexicoflag.asp\nhas prompted me to write.  I am beyond disgusted.  \n \nI feel much of the blame for illegal aliens in Northwest Arkansas rests squarely on the shoulder's of Tyson Foods.  They have built and/or expanded plants  in Berryville and Green Forest knowing full well the population could not support the demanded work force.  I believe they systematically recruited illegal aliens and turned a blind eye to obviously sketchy or fraudulent paperwork.  I worked for Tyson Foods from 1988 to 1994.  I personally saw the treatment of longtime employees degrade when the illegal aliens arrived.  I personally was unable to get a job at Tyson's a few years ago, inspite of an excellent attendance and work record during a previous tenure.  \n \nAs a former reserve (volunteer) deputy sheriff and reserve (volunteer)police officer, I have witnessed the negative impact of illegal aliens on our justice system.  It is so difficult to convict many of the offenders because their identies are so fluid, unless you personally remember an individual - you have no way of knowing who they really are - and even then you can't be sure.  They drive with out driver's license and insurance.  They allow their underage children to drive.  \n \nArkansas schools were struggling when they only had to teach in one language!  Now with the influx of the children (many of whom are American citizens - by virture of the geographical location of their birth) of illegal aliens schools are stretched to the breaking point.  \n \nThe public service system is reaching a critical point.  According to one article I read the deficit per illegal household was in excess of $2000 and expected to reach $7000 if undocumented aliens were to gain legal status.  I believe the Social Secuirty system will cave under the weight of the illegal aliens turned documented workers.\n \nI don't know exactly what the answer is, but we have turned a blind eye far too long.  Something must be done.  I realize there are no easy answers, but I am not willing to become a MexAmerican.\n \nI don't believe that voting is a priviledge or a right.  I believe it is my patriotic duty to vote.  And I vote NO to allowing persons who entered this country illegally to stay.  I am not anti-immigration.  I simply believe that any immigrant (regardless of nationality) should have to follow the correct proceedures or face deportation.

I have a real concern about this.  It is hard to believe this got through by attaching it to a Military spending bill.  I don't like the parallels it runs to the Biblical "Mark"\nWithout this National ID, you won't... \nDrive your car \nBoard a plane, train, or bus \nEnter any federal building \nOpen a bank account \nHold a job \nIf you can’t hold a job or have a bank account, how much buying and selling will you be able to do?

yes we can !  Hidden in the fine print of the 200 plus page McCain-Kennedy, Senate Immigration Bill and as part of the President Bush's \nGuest Worker program, are free pass amnesty provisions that will allow an unlimited number of illegal aliens to obtain a free pass and   free gas cards  so that the Illegals can take the jobs U.S. citizens cannot afford to drive to.  and give them ss pay backs that was paid in with fake numbers more rewards give me a break

COOL!\nThat's the way it should be! The key word in all this is ILLEGAL! If you aren't supposed to be here then you don't deserve ANYTHING from us.\nI don't want to pay for your ILLEGAL brats to go to school (notice the spelling is correct!) I don't want ILLEGAL people, working in the US, taking jobs that our LEGAL citizens need. I don't want to pay welfare benefits for ILLEGAL scumbags that drain resources we should use for our LEGAL elderly. Illegal losers and scumbags cost us taxpayers millions of dollars every year...do you think that violates my rights, do you think that's fair to me? Hell No! So quit your freekin' whinning! \nIf you're here illegally you should be arrested, put in jail, raped by a big hairy ape man, and then deported to the country you came from!\nI know I'll be voting IN FAVOR of this prop!!!\nI hope the rest of WORKING America votes for it too!

Didn't they have HISTORY class where you went to school??!  I might remind you then, that our country technically is FOUNDED on immigration....if anyone deserves a free ride - it's the Native Americans from whom we stole their land!  I think the point is that they want the immigrants to actually get educated so we don't have just illegal immigrant bums wreaking havoc on the nation....seems logical anyway.
