Rep. Lamar Smith: Immigration Bill 'Worse Than We Thought,' Legalizes Relatives and Previously Deported

April 17, 2013

Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said today that the Senate immigration bill is even worse than feared, since it 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."

Rep. Smith says the Senate immigration bill shreds 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."

Notice how the Bill starts out "To provide for comprehensive immigration reform and for other purposes." We all know what the "other purposes" are.  This damn thing is 840 pages long. How many people have the time to read it. I know McCain is a RINO but now that Rubio's name is on this we all now know what he stands for. When people do read this bill, most of them will not want it enacted so when the House puts their Bill forward most folks will gladly except the House Bill  because it will of course be more palatable. It's the old bait and switch routine. I say no immigration reform because our immigration laws do not need to be reformed. The existing laws need to be enforced. We"re getting suckered again. No amnesty or gateway for illegals. Go back and apply for citizenship like everyone else. I'm sick of these clowns in Washington.
