Schumer: 'Illegal Immigration Will Be a Thing of the Past'

“Illegal immigration will be a thing of the past,” Schumer said on the Senate floor, celebrating the passage of the motion to proceed.
Schumer complained in an impassioned and lengthy speech on the Senate floor that opponents saying the bill does not have border security “is not fair.” Schumer said giving billions of dollars to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will lead to increased border security, even if illegal immigrants are given amnesty first. He promised that assurances of future border security measures would be maintained.

Why are Democrats so willing to throw away the country just to win an elections? This is like willlingly accepting pancreatic cancer so the Giants are assured to win the next four Super Bowls.

This would be the death knell for the United States in fairly short order.
 
Unless illegal immigration is made legal, there will always be illegal immigrants. Unless we build an enormous wall coupled with a naval blockade covering the entirety of the U.S coastline.

The solution appears so simple, yet seemingly impossible to carry out. I wonder why that is?

E-verify to protect honest employers, and punitive and devastating fines/imprisonment for employers and management who knowingly hire illegal aliens.

Enforce the laws already on the books.

The idiots in DC R&D alike are high enough in the food chain that they don't give a damn!!

They have enough power & access to money that it doesn't matter to them
that the country is screwed,they just want power & votes!!:rantoff:
 
Unfortunately the government of the United States is to the point where they don't really care much for the actual citizens. They are becoming way to selfish and that could possibly be what brings the US to it's downfall. It's way to hard to have a good, decent government who actually take their jobs seriously and want to help the people instead of leaving them out to rot. They show the public that they want to help and do little things so that everyone believes they are actually doing their jobs. But in my opinion they don't care one bit what happens to us.

It isn't just a democrat thing.Many republicans have also decided to sell this country out as well.


27 republicans voted yes for this.

Here is an idea I have been floating around.This would make it nearly impossible for illegals to profit from being here illegally.

Require that in order to get any ID or driver's license you present a birth certificate, green card, or certificate of naturalization and social security card.After that require a state issued ID or driver's license in order to the following-

-enroll yourself into school
-enroll your minor kids into school
-apply for welfare,food stamps,section 8 housing and any other tax payer assistance for yourself and or your children
-get a business license,fishing/hunting permit,building permit, license to practice law, food handlers permit, gun license(in states that require a permit to buy a gun),concealed carry permit(in states that require a license to conceal carry) or any other tax payer funded service
-open a bank account, cash a check, use a credit/debit/pre-paid card, apply for a loan,or wire money.
-rent,borrow,lease or buy property
-rent,borrow,lease or buy a motor vehicle.
-get legal documents for yourself or your children.
-get utilities

The laws won't be enforced because they infringe upon personal gain. Proactive measures by the government that do not directly effect most Americans would perhaps be a better alternative.

When illegal aliens are seen as a force to exploit politically, any chance of government action is considerably diminished.

I'm thinking removal of the benefit of illegally entering the US would have a better chance of taking place, because the "taking jobs" issue appeals to most legal residents and citizens.

Not to mention he is dreaming. The only way illegal immigration will be a thing of the past is if we just open the borders up with no guidlines or regulations.
 
Anything for power, besides look at Mexico the politicians are paid quite well there. Schumar likes living off the people.

And why are the Democrats so eager to create a “path to citizenship” for these foreign invaders? I think the answer is obvious. They are seeking the votes and support of these criminals.
 
This has been or was going to happen anyway. The mexicans don't want to come here anymore! I mean, we all saw the south park ep.
 
The chance to do "Give everyone amnesty and we promise we'll get really serious on immigration enforcement to make sure we don't suffer this same fate a few decades later" was back in the 1980's

Amnesty was given.

Getting serious on immigration enforcement wasn't.

Three decades later, here we are.

Either Enforce THEN deal with those here, or if you want a compromise....Enforce and allow residence without benefits/citizenship until Triggers are met.

But simply "Amnesty and trust us, we really really really mean it this time that enforcement will happen" is a non starter. That cry of "Wolf" isn't being bought any longer

There will likely always be some number of illegal aliens, whether these trespassing illegal aliens are terrorists, drug-runners, spies, thieves (the vast majority of the 20 million), human traffickers, whatever, and no matter how long they had been in America or planned to be in America.

However, if we do two things we can greatly reduce the number of these illegal aliens: 1) greatly improve the border security, which can be done successfully with the right combination of physical presence and information presentation to all nations, and 2) put equal effort into preventing illegal aliens from receiving public benefits (other than life-saving emergency medical) and partaking in private transactions (such as employment, banking, etc.).

These are things we can easily do now.

The information presentation is hugely important, as communicating to the world that America will no longer tolerate illegal aliens in any way will greatly reduce the incentive to come here to violate American citizens.

It is hardly specific to democrats. All politicians will put career ahead of everything else. Common knowledge.
 
This bill will hit a brick wall in the house. It isn't exactly a done deal.

The Reagan administration did try to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws in the interior. What the Reagan administration did was to appoint someone in charge who was going to do take his job seriously and enforce our laws. That person was Harold Ezzel who was appointed as director of the western region of NIS.

He was good, our laws were being enforced but the usual people yelled "racism." The usual people were the same back then as today, liberals, Communist Party USA, National Council of la Raza. MEChA, Party of Liberation and Socialism, MALDEF, A*N*S*W*E*R* Coalition, etc.
Harold Ezzel was forced to resign.

Any time the federal government tries to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws, your going to hear the same people yelling racism. We see the same thing in Maricopa County, Arizona. You have an elected and popular Sheriff upholding the oath of office he took and is doing what the vast majority of Americans demand, enforce our laws and he's called a racist by the radical left.

When government stops lying to the American people and actually starts securing our borders and start enforcing our immigration laws that are on the books and you start hearing the word "racism" being yelled by the left, you know the government is doing their job.
