Doing the Am-Nasty
You’re never going to believe this, but all three Republican candidates for U. S. Senate are so totally against amnesty for illegal immigrants. Oh, and they don’t like the Senate’s new immigration bill – the one Bill Frist voted for – either.
“The immigration bill passed by the U.S. Senate is unacceptable,” Van Hilleary declared Thursday in a press release. “Not only does it grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants who have broken the law but it also requires the United States to get Mexico’s approval before any physical barrier is constructed along our southern border.”
Ed Bryant agreed: good fences make good neighbors. “We must strengthen security at the border, refuse to tolerate illegal behavior, and make sure the federal government does not abdicate its constitutional responsibility to secure our borders,” he said. “We need comprehensive immigration reform, but we don't need amnesty, or any other reward for illegal behavior.” (We always rather thought that illegal behavior was its own reward.)
As for Bob Corker: yep, him too, but with a nifty instant-status-verification twist. “Comprehensive immigration legislation must include strong provisions to secure our borders without the inclusion of amnesty,” he said, “provide a means for those who want to work here to do so legally, and an instant verification system for employers to use to determine a worker’s status.” Corker did not offer any opinions on the upcoming Jack Black vehicle Nacho Libre. Or the Dixie Chicks.
