Immigration Bill Worse Than We Thought

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Lamar Smith, a member of the House of Representatives as a Representative for the State of Texas, has read the immigration bill, and he doesn't like what he sees.  According to the Congressman, the bill legalizes illegals' relatives and even those previously deported:

"It's hard to believe, but the Senate immigration bill is worse than we thought. Despite assurances, the border is not secured before almost everyone in the country illegally is given amnesty. The bill guarantees there will be a rush across the border to take advantage of massive amnesty."

The number of illegals crossing the border has already begun to increase in anticipation of amnesty.

Rush Limbaugh calls them "undocumented democrats."

Representative Smith states that the new bill would shred current immigration laws:

"And the Senate proposal offers amnesty to far more illegal immigrants than we thought. In addition to most of the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country, the bill offers to legalize the relatives of illegal immigrants outside the U.S. and even others who have already been deported back home. So current immigration laws are shredded.

"The Senate bill is bad news for the American people. The good news is that the House Judiciary Committee will come up with a better plan that improves our immigration system and puts the interests of American workers first."
