Chuckie Schumer (D-NY) says the Immigration (Amnesty) bill will be ready by Labor Day. This bill would ensure that amnesty would be granted to nearly 12 million illegal aliens, who never thought twice about doing the right thing; America will reward bad behavior. I have a serious issue when it comes to morals and standards – any immigrant who wants to come to the USA should show they care enough about the country. This means they follow the rules and show respect to the millions of citizens already residing here legally, paying taxes, and working, by doing the same.
And what about the immigrants who came here legally and have been living in this country for years? I am friends with many from Asia, especially Vietnam – they came here to be free and enjoy democracy after the Vietnam War. One of the ladies I know wrote a wonderful short story about her escape from Vietnam. She fled to Europe, where she became a Dutch citizen, until she made enough money to come to America. She took her citizenship test and took all the steps required to be a productive, tax-paying member of society. She now owns her own business and does quite well for herself. She is a conservative because she remembers the horrors of where she came from and has never let one day pass where she took this country for granted… Maybe more, besides illegal aliens, should do the same.
“I think we’ll have a good bill by Labor Day,” said Schumer, D-N.Y. “I think the fundamental building blocks are in place to do comprehensive immigration reform.”
Schumer said the way to get the bill done is to be very tough on future waves of illegal immigration. He declared himself pro-immigration and said the U.S. should encourage legal immigration and find some kind of path for people now here to find a way to legal citizenship.
“We have a shortage maybe of engineers here or Ph.D’s in physics, but we probably don’t have a shortage of people who can do construction work,” Schumer said.
If you read between the lines, Schumer wants to pass amnesty and give a free pass to the millions of illegals already in the country. He then says he will be harder on future generations coming into the country. Chock this up to more empty words from the Dems – fooling the masses but making it appear as though things will be ok; if we pass this bill now, we can resolve the other issues later. However, they never resolve the other issues! They try to pass legislation that only cures the symptoms, but never fix the underlying disease! Congress-critters are too concerned about their own pockets and power, to ever go back and fix policies, although they promised they would. Most are just lying, corrupt thieves.
Does anybody recall when George Bush created the Patriot Act and began wire-tapping practices? Do you remember Democrats screaming about the right to privacy and how that wasn’t constitutional? Well, it wasn’t constitutional and it did give the government a lot of control into our lives. The Liberal rantings of “Big Brother is out to get me,” could be heard far and wide and the media certainly wouldn’t let us forget it. So where is the media now? They would be investigating… but they haven’t found time to clean their noses after being so close to Obama’s rear.
I didn’t mind the Patriot Act that much only because I was still in shock and appalled by the actions of radical Islamic terrorists on 9/11. I knew I had nothing to hide and had no problem if they in fact wanted to tap my phone. However, I now understand that this is not constitutional, and see why there was such a big deal made about this piece of legislation. So why aren’t the liberals out in full force now that Obama has expanded upon the Patriot Act and is also considering to let the United Nations become the new global IRS? We may be paying global taxes this time next year. Why are the liberals, given that several Democratic Senators were against extending the E-Verify program for illegals, all of the sudden supporting eye scans and biometrics to check for citizenship?
Eye scans and United Nations control seems more Big Brother-like to me than the Patriot Act. If you are going to be upset about the actions of one then be upset about the actions of another, if they are the same. Ann Coulter completely nailed her evaluation of liberals when she said: “If liberals didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all.” You would think that there would be no surprise to any of this, but I guess I am just hoping that Democrats and Progressives alike, wake up and actually stand on principle for once – and call a spade a spade.
The Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis and its Impact on Development that begins on Wednesday will consider adoption of a document calling for “new voluntary and innovative sources of financing initiatives to provide additional stable sources of development finance…” This is U.N.-speak for global taxes. They are anything but “voluntary” for the people forced to pay them.
The most “popular” proposals, which could generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue for global purposes, involve taxes on greenhouse gas emissions and financial transactions such as stock trades.
The document was agreed to at an informal meeting of expert “facilitators” and was made available on Monday afternoon at 3 p.m. It is doubtful that any changes will be made to it.
The conference was postponed from June 1-3 and will now take place June 24-26 at the U.N. in New York. While the “outcome document” has been watered downsomewhat from the previous version, it still reaffirms attainment of the U.N.’s Millennium Development Goals, which would require the payment of $845 billion from U.S. taxpayers. A commitment to the MDGs was a stated objective of the Global Poverty Act, which Barack Obama had introduced as a U.S. senator. It requires the U.S. to devote 0.7 percent of Gross National Income to foreign aid.
Senate Democrats outlined plans yesterday to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws, including a requirement that all U.S. workers verify their identity through fingerprints or an eye scan.
Speaking on the eve of a White House summit with congressional leaders on immigration, Sen. Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.) said a national system to verify work documents is necessary because Congress has failed to crack down on unscrupulous employers and illegal immigrants with fake documents.
“I’m sure the civil libertarians will object to some kind of biometric card — although . . . there’ll be all kinds of protections — but we’re going to have to do it. It’s the only way,” Schumer said. “The American people will never accept immigration reform unless they truly believe their government is committed to ending future illegal immigration.”
By announcing his plans, Schumer, who chairs the Senate’s main immigration subcommittee, ushered in what President Obama has signaled will be his next major legislative campaign, after the economic stimulus plan, health care and energy.
I am utterly speechless - Is it just me or are we living in an Orwell novel?
Yesterday, Senator Schumer (D-NY) said the American people don’t care about the pork in the stimulus bill. I know, I know… I had to pick myself up off the floor after I heard it, too.
With the revelation that none of the hundreds of thousands of calls, emails, and faxes went to Senator Schumer (they couldn’t have, could they? I mean, for him to make such a ludricrous statement surely he didn’t receive any of those pleas to stop the Porkulous Bill, right?) I decided it was time for me to figure out who this guy is. Not surprisingly, I found out he is a nobody. Oops, I mean he is a Harvard grad/career politician who never had a real day of work in his life.
This is your life Charles Schumer:
He attended Harvard College in 1968
After completing his undergraduate degree, he continued to Harvard Law School, earning his Juris Doctor in 1974. He chose not to practice law but to enter politics.
In 1974, Schumer ran for and was elected to the New York State Assembly, at age 23.
He served three terms, from 1975-1980.
1980 elected to House of Representatives.
1998-current, Senator.
You be the judge. Has this man ever done an honest day’s work? Is he qualified to know what issues concern you and me? I think not.
