Amnesty

If I am elected to represent the 28th House district I will introduce and fight hard to pass a tough Pro-New Mexico, anti-illegal immigration bill similar to the one passed in Oklahoma. The legislators in Oklahoma apprached the issue from the standpoint of cutting off illegal aliens from welfare, food stamps, obtaining driver's licenses, free schooling for their children, non emergency medical care, opening up bank accounts and opening up businessness using matricular consulate cards as their ID document. While the Arizona law may have all the attention I believe that the Oklahoma law is far better in that it doesn't force a "real ID" type card upon all citizens along with the illegal aliens.

Amnesty
is raising its ugly head again with Harry Reid's S 9 bill in the Senate and H.R. 4321 in the House which goes by the ridiculous title of "Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR). It has a nauseating tag which makes its full title of CIR for "America's Security and Prosperity" sound like the North American Union.

The Gutierrez/ Ortiz and Reid bills are part of same ole' dog and pony show. Both bills have the smell of the usual promises which seem to be forgottenonce the law passes. Gutierrez and Ortiz's propaganda says that we Americans will be secure from terrorism and the recession will end. "I kid you not", as a famous late night talk show host used to say.

These "liberal" politicians like Luis Gutierrez and Solomon Ortiz, both Texas congressmen, insist that "we can not get on the road to financial recovery and growth without enacting 'comprehensive immigration reform.'"

The absurdity of their claim that legalizing millions of illegal aliens (perhaps as many as 20 million) is said with a straight face before cameras knowing full well that these millions will be competing with the U.S. dwindling jobs market. Are these Congressmen brain dead or do they have an agenda to ruin us economically by using the influx of millions from Mexico and elsewhere as a battering ram on our over-regulated, over-taxed and hard-pressed economy?
