Why Immigration Reform Won’t Work – A Short List

Why Immigration Reform Won’t Work – A Short List

This is an easy to understand list of why the Gang of Eights plan for amnesty is a bust. It does nothing but empower the DHS and gives 11 million people a free ticket to America, while people who are doing it legally get screwed. And if you think 11 million is the number, wait until it passes, the numbers will explode and no border control will be able to handle the influx of illegals looking for that free ticket. Oh and by the way, Rubio can’t be trusted, just another politician going along to get along. And his new buddies, Shumer, McRhino, and Gramnesty? Not exactly a gang who has the American peoples best interest in mind, only their own agenda.

 

Found it here:

“Multiple triggers”/Legalization is immediate. DHS just  has to write border “plan.”  The most any “triggers” can possibly do  is delay green cards and citizenship.

“90 % effectiveness”/ If not reached, triggers only toothless commission

“Pay back taxes”/ Only if already “assessed” by IRS (unlikely). Newly  legalized may instead get refunds.

“Learn English”/ Only need to sign up for English class.

“Clean record”/ 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.

“Pay a fine”/ Can be waived by DHS

“Back of the line”/ Get to wait out the line while  living in the U.S (unlike suckers trying to come here legally).

Border fence/ Leaves it up to DHS, which decided not to complete fence in first  place

“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!)

“E-verify” employment checks/ 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!

Entry-exit system for visas/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?)

 

Utah Tells Feds NO On Guns – Colorado Folds

Utah Tells Feds NO On Guns – Colorado Folds

I love this state, it may be difficult to get an adequate cocktail but by God we get to keep our guns, Unlike another state approximately 400 miles to the east, (a hint: it rhymes with Colorado), their story below the Utah info.

According to the Tenth Amendment Center, In Salt Lake City this morning, the Utah State House of Representatives voted to nullify all federal gun laws, rule, regulations and orders on firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition.

House Bill 114 (HB114), introduced by Representative Brian Greene state, in part:

An officer or employee of the federal government may not enforce or attempt to enforce any federal statute, order, rule, or regulation relating to the intrastate ownership, possession, sale, or transfer of a personal firearm, a firearm accessory, ammunition, or ammunition component.

The bill also states the following:

finds that a federal statute, regulation, rule, or order that has the purpose, intent, or effect of confiscating or banning any firearm, firearm accessory, limiting the capacity of a firearm magazine, imposing any limitation on ammunition or an ammunition component, or requiring the registration of any firearm or ammunition infringes on the right of citizens of Utah to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 6 of the Utah Constitution.
effect. The bill will also need the support of all levels of local and state law enforcement in order to be effective.

 

 

 

Now to Colorado:

DENVER –  Colorado Democrats advanced aggressive gun-control proposals after a 12-hour marathon debate Friday in a state wrestling with its history of heartbreaking shootings and Western heritage where gun ownership is treasured by many.

Democrats moved forward with new ammunition magazine limits and universal background checks. But they withdrew two of the most controversial pieces of the package, including a gun ban on college campuses and a measure to hold assault-weapon owners liable for damages caused by their weapons.
A formal Senate vote on the measures is required next week before the bills clear the Senate. Republicans took to Twitter immediately after debate concluded late Friday to urge changed votes by Monday.

Democratic Senate President John Morse claimed victory in the state’s overall gun-control debate, even as he conceded the battle grew ugly.

“Cleansing a sickness from our souls doesn’t come easy. It’s gruesome,” Morse said in a short speech announcing the withdrawal

of his assault-weapon liability measure.


For the last three decades Colorado has been Californicated, glad I be here and not there.


A Politician That Gets It

A Politician That Gets It

Proof is in the pudding people, this guy just gets it. I know I keep ringing the bell about Rand Paul but the man is leading by example, and if you read my previous post it you would understand why I am so impressed.

Sen. says he will send a $600,000 check to the U.S. Treasury, returning the part of his operating budget as a senator that was not spent.

Paul made the announcement at press conference in Kentucky on Wednesday. According to a press release from Paul’s office, the sum is over 20 percent of the total operating budget

Non-Union Power Crews Turned Away

Non-Union Power Crews Turned Away

Pretty pathetic. I don’t care if you are tried and true union blue. But damn, these people need help. And it shows the hypocracy of unions.

Even for the better good for everyone, they turn down help because they don’t want their sacred unions shown up. Sounds a lot like the current administration.

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY

The hurricane-ravaged east coast has been receiving north Alabama help, but crews learned they’ll be doing work in Long Island, New York instead of in New Jersey.

Utility crews volunteered with Sandy recovery.

Crews from Decatur Utilities and Joe Wheeler out of Trinity headed up there this week, but Derrick Moore, one of the Decatur workers, said they were told by crews in New Jersey that they can’t do any work there since they’re not union employees.

The crews that are in Roanoke, Virginia say they are just watching and waiting even though they originally received a call asking for help from Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

The crews were told to stand down. In fact, Moore said the crew from Trinity is already headed back home.

Understandably, Moore said they’re frustrated being told “thanks, but no thanks.”
