It’s been nice having a nation, but: Senate panel OKs tax-welfare benefits for newly legal immigrants
Immigration to the USA from it’s inception to 1924 is what MADE this nation.
The Irish and German immigration here from about 1845 onward was critical to the end of slavery here in the USA.
The peoples from the far east who immigrated here at the same time BUILT the railroads and towns which built the far west.
The influx from eastern and southern Europe from about 1890 to 1924 are the blocks of victory in World War 2.
One thing all these immigrants had in common was a desire to build a new life out of their own efforts in freedom and without any govt interference in their day to day existence.
They did not come here for welfare.
They did not come here to owe their vote to one party or another. They were not ‘succored’ here by BOUGHT allegiance.
I have ALWAYS stated that immigration to the USA should be PRECISELY as it had been from about 1845-1924. But there should be no access AT ALL to public funds for support of immigrants. Immigrants should be coming here to be free Americans, not dependent ones.
In the catholic church the act of buying votes for political reward is known as SIMONY.
There is NO POSSIBLE ARGUMENT that what this Senate Panel has done is PRECISELY THIS as a functional equivalent.
The SenateJudiciary Committee voted Monday to allow illegal immigrants who get legal status to begin collecting tax-welfare payments, as the panel spent a fourth day working through amendments to the massive immigration bill and party-line splits began to emerge.
In one major change, the committee voted 17-1 to make a third drunken-driving conviction a deportable offense for the newly legalized immigrants if at least one of those offenses occurs after they are approved for legal status.
But immigrant-rights groups called that a rollback of due-process rights for the immigrants and said a drunken-driving incident shouldn’t cost someone a chance at citizenship.
“We cannot and will not support hard-line proposals that take away discretion and limit an individual’s ability to pursue the pathway to citizenship,” said Paromita Shah, associate director of the National Lawyers Guild’s National Immigration Project.
Overall, the committee continued to maintain the delicate balance struck by the “Gang of Eight” senators who negotiated the 867-page bill: Quick legal status for illegal immigrants, but delaying citizenship rights until after the administration spends more money on border security, puts in place a new electronic verification system to check workers’ status, and enacts an entry-exit system to check visas at airports and seaports.
In previous days’ action, two Republican members of the Gang of Eight — Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona — joined with Democrats to block a series of GOP amendments to stiffen the bill’s security.
But on Monday, the two Republicans sided with their party colleagues on key questions on giving illegal immigrants public benefits.
And if that is not enough…
Immigration bill backers say not all back-taxes will be paid
The Senate immigration bill’s authors acknowledged Tuesday that their legislation does not require illegal immigrants to pay all back taxes, saying it would be too difficult to make them ante up everything they might owe.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, the New York Democrat who is chief sponsor of the bill, said illegal immigrants by definition are living in the shadows, and requiring them to reconstruct their pay history could be tough — and potentially keep many of them from legalization.
