Senate Version of Immigration Reform
Panty waist, nancy boy doesn't begin to describe the version of immigration reform that passed out of committee today in the Senate. Thanks Arlen Specter, Lindsey Graham, Sam Brownback of Kansas and Mike DeWine of Ohio. Way to stand with the party.
Here is but one example, the rest are too painful to relate: The bill would double the Border Patrol and authorizes a "virtual wall" of unmanned vehicles, cameras and sensors to monitor the U.S.-Mexico border.
A virtual wall would be just fine if we were dealing with virtual illegal aliens.
I'm for more legal immigration (the Kennedy addition) if we actually stop the illegal variety. Line jumpers go to the end of the line. In Mexico. Not virtually, really.
And it looks like the national ID card is a couple of steps closer. I'm old enough to be OK with that. Younger paranoids might bridle a little

If they made employers verify SSN numbers, you would have about 75% of them right there.
The problem with any reform is, of course, the shock that is created in the labor market the moment the law starts being enforced.
I cant imagine the California economy without illegals.
Also, having been an illegal alien here for many years, and going through the process of getting legal, I am a little more sympathetic. Getting residency is a HUGE pain in the ass.

Yea, because the country you want to live in wants to make sure you're a good high round draft pick and are serious about joining the group. I'm for shocking the system, especially in Southern California. Doesn't look like it's happening though.
Fair enough. Hoop jumping does weed out the weak, unresourceful, and illiterate to a great degree.
If I learned one thing in college it was how to collect papers, get signatures, walk them across campus to where them came from.
This process, though infuriating, probably prepared me for real life to a greater degree than any of my classes.
Standing in -20 temperatures with a howling wind in Bratislava for 4 hours should be proof enough that I really wanted to be there. They make you leave the country to apply here. I will bet that provision would go over like a led ballon in the states.
