At about 2:15 pm today. the Senate will take its first votes on S. 744 — the Gang of Eight’s immigration reform amnesty bill for the estimated 11 million people who had illegally entered and living in the United States.
S 744 is objectionable on many grounds, one of which is its financial costs that America can ill afford, given our nearly $17 TRILLION federal government debt. Heritage Foundation has a study that shows S 744 will cost already beleaguered taxpayers at least $6.3 trillion over the lives of the illegal aliens given amnesty, should the bill becomes law.
Then there is S 744′s creation of a national biometric data base as the pathway to a National ID card.
Did you know that the Supreme Court just voted 5-4 in favor of a National DNA database, thereby allowing police to forcibly take DNA samples from individuals, without even issuing a search warrant?
So much for our 4th Amendment constitutional rights!
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) says S 744 only makes our current immigration problems “worse.” Sadly, he holds the minority opinion as he was one of only five Senate Judiciary Members who opposed S. 744′s exit from committee.
You should also know just what kind of heces Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) is made of.
In a Spanish-language interview Sunday with the network Univision, Rubio, the leading Republican on the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform group, stated unequivocally that legalization of the nation’s estimated 11 million illegal immigrants must happen BEFORE any new border security or internal enforcement measures are in place.
In other words, amnesty before border security — the same illogical route taken by previous “immigration reform” efforts which resulted in even more illegals pouring into the United States across the unsecured borders.
