Here’s a handy guide to refute the Gang of Eight’s talking points on immigration reform. At the bottom of the post is a list of telephone numbers and faxes for key US Senators, please call them once a day and speak to one talking point daily. If you can’t speak to a staffer, leave a message. As always, be polite.
Beginning on Monday, I’ll be posting a letter you can copy and paste into a fax on each of these talking points.
- DHS refuses to enforce existing immigration law and the President issues executive orders.
- Legalization is immediate. DHS just has to write border “plan.” The most any “triggers” can possibly do is delay green cards and citizenship.
- If not reached, triggers only toothless commission that will make a recommendation to DHS. DHS can discard it.
- DHS has admitted in Congressional testimony that not only can’t they secure the border, they can’t even define border security.
- Napolitano has already declared the border to be “secure”.
- Only need to sign up for English class.
- Allows two free misdemeanors. Additional misdemeanors (including assaults) can be waived by DHS.
No “public charge.” Must earn 125% of poverty line
- They’re going to deport people who earn only 124% or less? Ha.
- ICE releases illegal immigrant felons, why would they deport illegals just because they can’t support themselves?
- Can be waived by DHS.
- Illegals get to wait out the line while living in the U.S. (unlike suckers trying to come here legally).
- Leaves it up to DHS, which decided not to complete fence in first place.
- Napolitano has already declared the border to be “secure”.
“Comprehensive Southern Border Security Strategy”
- Only has to be “substantially” operational–whatever that means, as defined by DHS–before green cards are issued. (Legalization has already happened, remember!)
- Napolitano has already declared the border to be “secure”.
- Replaces E-Verify with new system. Requires only that this system be “implemented” ( 30%? 70%? Who knows?).
- Subject to lawsuit. If still in court after 10 years, never mind!
- Has been required since 1996. DHS must only be “using” a system before green cards can be issued. (Using in 10% of airports? 50%? Again, who knows?)
- Proponents are saying that this bill will bring down the deficit because illegals who are being paid under the table will now be paying taxes. That claim is a blatant lie. According to a Heritage Foundation study, the cost will be $6.3 TRILLION for 11 million illegal immigrants, and there’s a problem with this study. The real number will be more on the order of 30 to 40 million.
