Senate Immigration Bill

I am totally disgusted with this horrible immigration bill. I'm even more disgusted with President Bush and the members of the Senate who met in the secret corners of Washington to put this bill together. I'm totally pissed that the Senate despite overwhelming opposition by real Americans are trying to shove this down our throat. If you object to the bill than you’re a "racist" and "you don't know what's best for the country".
As of now the immigration bill only guarantees amnesty to the 12 million people in this country illegally. Even criminals are going to be able to get the Z visa. Thank you, Kennedy! Border security is not guaranteed only promised. Yeah, like we are going to trust the promises of the government to secure the border.
I'm not going to rely on any new promises made by President Bush and Congress concerning immigration. The government has not kept its word in the past and I don't expect it to do it in the future. They've been lax in enforcing existing law. They sure aren't going to be enforcing any new ones.
Look, we want to have our laws upheld. There are numerous immigration laws on the books today which are not enforced and are our borders are still unsecured. Any immigration reform must first begin with securing the borders and enforcing the laws that we currently have. Guess what, the Senate rejected such an amendment by Sen. Coburn.
This bill is not the way to solve our immigration woes. This bill provides sweeping amnesty which cripples law enforcement and undermines the rule of law. President Bush and Congress should stop wasting taxpayers money arguing with the American people and just do what we asked them to do. Secure the border and enforce our laws.
