Told You So : Immigration Reform Dead

11:47 H | Topics: Immigration - Politics

I predicted that nothing would come out of the current immigration reform numerous times (personally because I don't think Congress really gives a damn) and Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, officially withdrew the so-called compromise bill from the Senate floor. Part of the reason for the failure (besides a lack of real will) was the debate over some 40 amendments including one Democratic proposal to limit a guest-worker program sought by business interests and backed by Republicans. The bill could come back up sometime this year (but I bet it won't until we get closer to presidential election day).

Correct me if I am wrong. Last time I checked we have Laws that cover immigration. In fact the last time I checked the Law said "any person that inters this country with out proper papers is an illegal alien" Sounds very plane to me. So whats the problem ? The problem is people here with out the proper (documents) papers.Sounds very simple to me. Get rid of those without papers.The problem is solved.Anyone who can't understand that is so small minded we don't want them here anyway
